+stabilization. Stop cached feed callers from mutating or consuming shared
+quote-stream roots, then review, verify and prepare a commit boundary.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Made provider root streams private to the cached `Feed`, gave every caller a
+local subscribed view, corrected feed cache identity, and made multi-provider
+relays own synchronized child subscriptions and independent send-channel
+clones.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `piker/data/feed.py` - caller-local feed views, complete cache keys, and
+  subscribed multi-provider relays with independent channel lifetimes.
+- `tests/test_feed_broadcast.py` - real broadcast ownership, lifecycle and
+  cache-identity regressions, including sibling survival after provider EOC.
+
+## Human edits
+
+None - generated output follows the requested cached-feed ownership item.

+
+The user asked to continue the paired piker broadcast-consumer work after
+Tractor PR 490 stabilization. The next item was to stop cached feed callers
+from mutating or consuming shared `Feed`/`Flume` quote-stream roots, then
+review, verify and prepare a commit boundary.
+
+> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- piker/data/feed.py`
+
+Changed `maybe_open_feed()` so the cached `Feed` exclusively owns provider
+root streams and every caller, including the first cache owner, receives a
+caller-local `Feed`/`Flume` view backed by one child subscription per provider.
+The cache identity now includes normalized full symbol shape and stream policy.
+
+Changed `Feed.open_multi_stream()` so every provider relay subscribes instead
+of directly consuming a shared stream, and synchronizes relay startup before
+yielding the merged channel. Each relay owns a cloned send channel so one
+provider EOC cannot terminate its siblings. The module-level relay returns its
+live child receiver through `TaskStatus` for typed retention and introspection.
+Documented `Feed.pause()`/`Feed.resume()` as provider-context-wide controls
+shared by local cache users.
+
+> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- tests/test_feed_broadcast.py`
+
+Added real `Feed`, `Flume`, and Tractor broadcast regressions covering both
+cache-miss owner and cache-hit paths, one-provider-many-market mapping,
+multi-provider relay fan-out and startup, duplex controls, lexical child
+closure, sibling survival after provider EOC, cached-root immutability, and
+full cache-key differentiation.
+
+Verification output:
+
+```text
+...                                                                      [100%]

+1 passed in 0.01s
+```
+
+The second result is the existing EMS broadcast ownership regression. Ruff,
+E501, compilation and whitespace checks passed. Repeated adversarial review
+found and resolved shared `Feed.streams`, incomplete cache-key, fake-lifecycle,
+relay-startup and first-owner asymmetry issues; final review reported no
+findings.
