Engine.Start takes syncMsgMux with a deferred unlock (engine.go:445) and parks in receiveSignalEvents → WaitStreamConnected (engine.go:1762), which only wakes on
signal-stream connect or client-context cancellation.
When signal never connects, the 30s startup timeout fires and embed.Client.Start's rollback (embed.go:281) called client.Stop() → Engine.Stop, which blocks acquiring
syncMsgMux (engine.go:318). The cancel() that would unpark Start was deferred until Start returned — permanent cycle. RemovePeer calls (g43/g385) then queue behind the
lifecycle mutex.
Notably, embed.Client.Stop and the daemon's cleanupConnection both cancel before stopping — the startup rollback was the only path that didn't.
