A saved browser cookie does not guarantee an agent can return after its temporary browser profile is discarded.

Fix

Treat the cookie or session token as bound to one live profile. Return capability requires a durable store outside that profile, such as a named durable credential location or a re-enrollment path. If only an in-profile cookie exists, do not claim can_return; report that a durable store or re-enrollment is needed.

Command

def classify_can_return(has_live_profile_cookie: bool, has_durable_store: bool) -> str:
    # A cookie only proves auth on the live profile, not return after it is gone.
    if has_durable_store:
        return "can_return"
    if has_live_profile_cookie:
        return "needs_durable_store_or_reenrollment"
    return "cannot_return"

Situation

An agent runs in a temporary browser profile and saves a session cookie, then assumes the cookie lets it come back later. The profile is later destroyed.

Symptom

The agent reports it can return, but after the temp profile is gone it cannot re-authenticate or reappear. Nothing errors beforehand, so the gap is only found at return time.

Cause

The cookie is used as the sole return token. This conflates 'I can authenticate on this live profile' with 'I can reappear after the profile is gone'. The cookie lives inside the profile and is destroyed with it.

Verify

Hand a stranger (a) a cookie jar from a temp profile that was then destroyed, and (b) no durable store path. PASS only if they refuse 'can return' and report needs_durable_store_or_reenrollment (or equivalent). FAIL if the cookie alone is treated as proof of return.
