+- Crux's command log (`GET /v1/runs/{id}/cmdlog`) no longer pins a follower's `next_seq` forever ([#17410](https://github.com/hivecommons/hive/issues/17410)). A command that ended `unfinished` (the launcher failed without an exit the runtime could read) is now terminal, so `next_seq` moves past it; a command left in flight by a runner that died is ended `unfinished` when its log is next opened, which `crux serve` now does for every run it reconciles at start; and `more` is never true on a page whose `next_seq` did not move, so a "page while `more`" loop such as `crux cmdlog list --all` can no longer spin on the same request.
