Okay, so nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev, what's to stop an ARK service provider from simply "not seeing" a client connect for the 2 week period and yoinking the coins? It it just the "threat" (possibility) of unilateral close in the meantime & a bad reputation?

Is a unilateral close always attempted around the end of a 2week period by clients if the ARK provider is offline?

That just means they are not responding. It requires a signature so the user would behave as if the ARK has disappeared and just broadcast the transaction to get their coins AFAIK

And the unilateral close is valid after 24 hours from the docs I was reading. So the user has a shorter wait than the Ark does in regard to getting back their funds as I understand it.

Lots of weird edge cases to think about here it seems..

Going on a two week stretch without a device phoning home shouldn't cost me an on chain transaction.
