Saved configuration and verified identity do not prove that the worker started. Keep startup and message delivery marked unverified. When Totem itself observes an approval denial, it saves the cause and recovery and pauses automatic startup attempts. After the owner resolves the host decision, explicitly run totem start --profile once to resume, inspect totem status --profile , and verify an authorized incoming message and reply. Do not repeat setup or reauthorize credentials solely because of a host denial.
