 ## Triage
 
-- Decision: `UNREVIEWED`
-- Notes:
+- Decision: `VALID`
+- Notes: Confirmed — `clearSimId()` was only called on the "unknown simulation" error, never on reset, so localStorage kept the id and the next play() re-attached to the old sim. Fixed: `reset()` now calls `socket.clearSimId()` before closing. Test added: "clears the persisted sim id so the next play starts a fresh simulation" asserts the next play() emits CreateSimulation, not AttachSimulation. Full suite green (248 web tests, turbo 7/7).
