The reconnect supervisor used connection lost for every transition into backoff, including an initial startup attempt that never established a connection and later retry attempts that also failed. That wording implied a previously healthy generation and obscured whether any tools had ever been registered.
Capture whether the generation had reached the established state before scheduling recovery. Established disconnects retain connection lost/reconnecting; startup and retry failures now report connection failed/retrying. The reconnect-disabled diagnostic uses the same distinction while preserving its concrete manual-recovery guidance.
Unit assertions cover established loss, initial failure, retry failure, and both reconnect-disabled branches. Focused package coverage remains 100%, and the bilingual Agent Note records the observable state vocabulary.
