c28134ab39 fix(#3271): delete 25 duplicated folded test suites and fix three runner defects found doing it (#3285)
* test(#3271): guard against a folded suite appearing twice in one host

Adds local/no-duplicate-fold-marker, an AST rule that reports the second and
every subsequent `folded:<name>` marker in a host file, plus RuleTester cases
and a tree-wide regression assertion.

Failing-first on purpose: the rule is registered at error and the 25 duplicated
regions are still present, so eslint and the new tree-wide test are RED. The
deletions land in the next commit.

The marker key is the whitespace-delimited token after `folded:` — not the
issue's `[a-z0-9-]*` slice, which truncates at `.` and false-positives on
tests/model-resolver.test.cjs where feat-443-effort-fast-mode.integration and
feat-443-effort-fast-mode are two distinct folded suites.

* fix(#3271): delete 25 duplicated folded suites from three install hosts

Three consolidated install suites each carried a verbatim second copy of a
contiguous run of #1969 B1 folded blocks. Byte-identical, constant offset, and
green — each duplicated block registered and ran twice on every lane.

  tests/install.test.cjs                   5981-9937  (3957 lines, 18 blocks)
  tests/install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs     2734-4015  (1282 lines,  5 blocks)
  tests/install-write-confinement.test.cjs 1754-2321  ( 568 lines,  2 blocks)

Introduced by 6d072435d (#1975 re-applying #1970's hunks on a tree that already
had them, 2026-07-03) — one stale-base re-application, three files, one commit.
Verified by marker-count bisect: 1 at 4f779eda4 and 0cc7a1a42, 2 from 6d072435d
onward.

The later copy is deleted in each case, so every file returns to what its
authoring batch produced and blame on the surviving lines stays accurate.
local/no-duplicate-fold-marker, red on the previous commit, is now green.

tests/model-resolver.test.cjs is untouched: the issue lists it, but its two
blocks are folded from two different files and are not identical. It is a false
positive of the issue's own grep, whose `[a-z0-9-]*` key truncates at `.`.

Fixes #3271

* test(#3271): property-test marker identity and pin the alias non-goal

Three review findings, all fixed inline:

1. foldMarkerOf is a parser and carried no fast-check property test. Raised
   independently by the /code-review standards axis and the isolated adversarial
   pass; the file already establishes the fc.property-driving-ruleTester idiom
   for a sibling rule. Added, two arms over markers generated from [a-z0-9-._]:
   the same marker twice always reports exactly once against firstLine 1, and
   two distinct markers never collide. The alphabet includes `.` on purpose —
   an implementation keyed on the issue's [a-z0-9-]* slice passes arm 1 and
   fails arm 2, which is exactly the model-resolver false positive.

2. meta.docs.category was the novel value 'Test hygiene'; all 16 sibling local
   rules use 'Best Practices', 'Portability' or 'Reliability'. Now
   'Best Practices'.

3. A call through a further alias (const d = __foldDescribe) was unreported and
   undocumented — accidental rather than deliberate. It is now the fourth entry
   in the rule's documented non-goals, with the reason, and pinned by a valid
   RuleTester case so it cannot drift silently.

* test(#3271): name the step and elapsed time when a baseline build fails

buildBaselineAtRef runs four bounded steps and, when one exceeded its bound,
threw a bare "spawnSync ETIMEDOUT" naming neither the step nor how long
anything took. Diagnosing one real failure took four separate experiments to
recover information the throw already had.

Each step is now timed, and any throw carries the breakdown: which step failed,
its elapsed time, the timings of every step that completed before it, all three
bounds, and the tail of the child's captured stdout/stderr.

The failure message is deliberately the carrier. On the remote runner the
captured output field comes back empty in failures.json while error and stack
survive verbatim, so the message is the only channel that reaches a reader of a
remote verdict.

Refs #3271

* fix(#3271): size the baseline generator bound for the machine it runs on

Instrumentation from a real remote-runner failure gave the breakdown:

  git-worktree-add=15.1s  npm-run-build-lib=19.8s  gen-emitted-baseline=FAILED@300.1s

Steps 1 and 2 are comfortable. Only the generator exceeds its bound, and it is
not hung — it needs more than 300s there.

Measured ladder for that step: ~22s idle in a container, ~39s end-to-end in a
clean container, ~142s with 8 CPU burners on 8 cores, and >300s under the real
suite. Its cost is 19 sequential installer spawns, and spawn latency is exactly
where a container degrades worst (3.9x slower than host, against 1.1x for file
IO) — which is why a CPU-only load test did not reproduce it and why four
earlier hypotheses (container slowness, network, shallow clone, CPU contention)
all measured clean.

The 300s bound was sized on an idle machine for a step that never runs on one.
Under the remote runner the on-disk baseline cache is structurally absent — CI
restores it via actions/cache keyed on github.event.pull_request.base.sha, a key
that exists only inside GitHub Actions — so this slow path runs on every remote
verification. The result: this gate has passed 0 times in 754 runs, failing 80
times and never once executing successfully.

Raised to the 600000ms ceiling that local/no-unbounded-spawn treats as the
largest meaningful bound; the other two bounds are untouched. This makes the
gate RUN, which is the point: the alternative considered and rejected was
degrading the timeout to a skip, and that was measured to turn the suite green
with the gate silently not running at all.

The real remedy is making the cache reachable from the remote runner so the
in-job build returns to being the rare fallback ADR-2719 §5 describes. That is a
gsd-test-runner change, not one this repo can make.

* fix(#3271): tolerate an overlay source that vanishes mid-walk

Observed on the remote runner, three runs across three different branches:

  ENOENT: no such file or directory, link '/work/hooks/dist/gsd-config-reload.js'
    -> '/tmp/gsd-2930-overlay-6nOZay/hooks/dist/gsd-config-reload.js'

buildOverlayRepo enumerates names with readdirSync and then acts on each one, so
statSync, copyFileSync and linkSync all sit in a TOCTOU window. hooks/dist is
regenerated by an ATOMIC REPLACE (scripts/build-hooks.js unlinks and renames), so
any concurrently running test that rebuilds hooks retires a just-listed name
mid-walk and the overlay dies on it. linkOrCopyFile already tolerated EXDEV and
EPERM; ENOENT went straight through.

On ENOENT the source is now re-examined ONCE rather than slept on. An atomic
rename is a single syscall, so by the time the failure surfaces the successor is
either already in place (the retry succeeds) or the path has genuinely left the
tree, in which case there is nothing to mirror and the leaf is skipped. No sleep
and no spin: a timing-based wait here would be the very flake being fixed. Every
other errno still propagates untouched, so a real permission or IO fault stays a
hard failure.

Five tests hold the boundary: gone-for-good skips without retrying, mid-replace
retries exactly once and places the file, EACCES still throws, a real linkSync
ENOENT is injected by monkeypatching fs and restoring it in a finally (never a
mode-bit trick, which root bypasses), and isMissingPath accepts only ENOENT.

* fix(#3271): order the timeout ladder inward-out and lock it

Two review blockers, both real.

The generator bound had been raised to 600000ms — exactly the whole-chunk timeout
in scripts/run-tests.cjs:973. A step bound equal to the chunk ceiling loses the
race: the chunk is killed first and the failure arrives as an opaque "no failed
step" kill, so the per-step diagnostic added a commit earlier was built and then
made unreachable in the same change.

Separately the #2767 test declared a per-test timeout of 300000ms, BELOW the
inner bound it was meant to permit, so it could still die at the exact 300s
ceiling this was supposed to lift — via node:test's timeout rather than
spawnSync's. Its sibling declared 900000ms, above the chunk ceiling, which is the
same opaque-kill hazard from the other direction.

The three bounds only produce a useful failure if they fire inward-out, so they
now do: step 360s, per-test 480s, chunk 600s. 360s is ~3x the passing observation
(91.6s / 115.8s) and 20% above the censored 300.1s timeout, while leaving 240s of
chunk headroom for every other file sharing it. Four tests lock the ordering,
including a drift guard on the exported values — without it, editing a call
site's literal timeout would leave the ordering assertions passing while the real
ladder inverted.

Also from review:

- err.gsdBaselineStep and err.gsdBaselineTimings were written and never read
  anywhere in the tree; only the rewritten message is consumed. Removed rather
  than kept as speculative surface.
- buildOverlayRepo discarded placeVanishableLeaf's boolean at both call sites, so
  a vanished leaf left the overlay with no accounting at all. It now collects the
  skipped paths and warns once. Not thrown: a source that left the tree really is
  not part of the snapshot, and throwing would reintroduce the crash the
  tolerance removes — but silence would let a dropped leaf resurface later as an
  unrelated missing-file assertion.
- The instrumentation commit shipped no test. One now drives a real failure and
  asserts the message names the step, its elapsed time, and the bounds.

* chore(#3271): backfill the changeset PR number

* fix(#3271): bound a hook fan-out as its own class, not as a bare probe

CI failure on PR #3285, job full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 2/3) — every
other lane green, including windows-latest node 24 across all three shards:

  not ok 1 - blocks push when any to-be-pushed commit matches local blocked regex
    error: bash .githooks\pre-push failed — outcome=timed_out exitCode=null stderr=
    duration_ms: 15040.2168

A bound, not a hang: the test supplies stdin via input:, so the hook is not
blocked reading its ref list, and the duration lands exactly on the 15000ms
bound.

The site used PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS, which tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs documents as "a
single short CLI query or node -e probe against a temp fixture". This is not
that. It spawns bash running .githooks/pre-push, and the hook then invokes a MOCK
git that is itself a bash script, so one runHook is roughly four Git Bash spawns.
On Windows each is Defender-scanned and the first hook test in a file pays cold
start on top. That module's own docstring warns against precisely this: a call
site that differs from its class must not be forced onto a shared value that does
not describe it.

HOOK_FANOUT_TIMEOUT_MS is that missing class — 60000ms, 4x the bound that failed
and half INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS, which is the right order: a hook fan-out is much
lighter than a full installer run and far heavier than reading back a version
string. Two tests lock the ordering against both neighbours, including one
asserting real margin over the censored 15040ms observation, since a bound that
merely matched what was measured would be the same defect again.

Scoped deliberately: the other ~360 runHook sites keep their current bounds. This
adds the norm and applies it where a real failure demonstrated the need, rather
than sweeping a value across sites with no evidence for any of them.

5fd5c81042 test(#3055): add the process seam so a subprocess timeout is expressible as data (#3066)
* test(#3055): add the process seam and route runGsdTools through it

Adds tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs — runNode/runGit/runHook over spawnSync,
each returning a typed discriminated union
{ outcome, exitCode, stdout, stderr, timedOut, signal, killed, code }.
Every call is timeout-bounded; there is no unbounded path.

runGsdTools becomes an adapter over the seam. Its legacy
{ success, output, error, exitCode } shape and retry-once-on-kill behaviour
are preserved byte-identically, so none of its 136 caller files change.

Outcome discrimination was corrected against probed runtime behaviour rather
than assumption: a timeout and a maxBuffer overflow are identical on both
status (null) and signal (SIGTERM), and differ only by code (ETIMEDOUT vs
ENOBUFS). Overflow is therefore classified before timeout. This fixes a live
defect — the previous isKilled() treated an overflow as a kill, retried it for
a second full 60s run, and then reported "host OOM or scheduler contention"
for a child that had merely printed too much.

Also widens the ESLint tests glob from tests/**/*.test.cjs to tests/**/*.cjs,
which brought 31 previously unlinted shared helpers under the same rules their
sibling test files already obey, and fixes the 5 violations that surfaced —
including a bare npm invocation without shell:true in
tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs (DEFECT.WINDOWS-TEST-PORTABILITY), now
routed through the existing portable runNpm helper.

* test(#3055): migrate every local spawn wrapper onto the process seam

Replaces the spawn body of all 25 local runHook/runGuard/runGate definitions
with a call to tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs. Each wrapper keeps its name,
parameter list, return shape and post-processing (JSON parse, ANSI strip, env
sanitising, field extraction) — only the spawn mechanism changes, so no test
assertion moves.

The 4 bash-driven wrappers use the seam's explicit `interpreter` option rather
than a fourth primitive; it is explicit rather than inferred from the file
extension, because guessing an interpreter from a path fails silently when a
script's name does not match its shebang.

Seven wrappers were previously unbounded and now carry an explicit timeout
sized to what each actually runs, not the seam default. Two of those seven
(gsd-write-guard, lint-docs-command-form) were absent from the issue's
inventory entirely and were found by scanning after the migration.

Adds the CONTEXT.md `### Process seam` glossary entry and a CONTRIBUTING.md
reference section covering the three primitives, the discriminated union, and
the two rules the seam enforces.

Scope disclosure recorded in the phase design notes: the issue scoped three
identifier names. A scan for local helpers that spawn AND return the spawn
result finds 113 across 82 names, 71 of them unbounded, plus 122 unbounded
direct git call sites. This change bounds 25 of those. The remaining surface
is the same defect class and is NOT closed by this PR.

* fix(#3055): classify an externally-killed child as KILLED, not EXITED

Blocker found in this branch's own diff, independently confirmed by an
isolated reviewer.

A child killed by an external signal — a genuine bench OOM kill — makes
spawnSync return { status: null, signal: 'SIGKILL' } with NO .error field.
The seam's "no error implies EXITED" rule therefore classified it as a clean
exit, and runGsdTools returned { success: false, exitCode: 1 } without
retrying. That silently defeated the #969 kill-discrimination for precisely
the case it was built for: the old isKilled() fired on `signal != null`,
retried once, then threw a labelled resource-starvation error. A real OOM
would have been reported as an ordinary assertion failure.

Adds a fifth outcome, KILLED, for "no error but a signal is set", and makes
the adapter retry on TIMED_OUT or KILLED — reproducing the old
`killed || signal != null || code === 'ETIMEDOUT'` condition exactly.
SPAWN_FAILED still does not retry (matching the old behaviour, where signal
was null). BUFFER_OVERFLOW still does not retry, which remains a deliberate
divergence: the old code retried it because signal was SIGTERM, burning a
second 60s run on a child that had merely printed too much.

All five outcomes verified against the live runtime rather than assumed:
SIGKILL -> killed, exit 0/7 -> exited, timeout -> timed_out (ETIMEDOUT),
>1MB stdout -> buffer_overflow (ENOBUFS).

* fix(#3055): address standards-review findings on this branch

Three findings from the standards axis of the review, all in this branch's
own diff.

The CONTEXT.md glossary entry this branch introduced was already stale on the
branch's own last commit: it enumerated a 4-member OUTCOME while the code had
5, because the KILLED fix did not update it. That is precisely the drift the
"module changes update Domain-terms" gate exists to catch, so the entry now
lists all five and explains KILLED.

api-coverage-gate-e2e compared an outcome against the raw string 'exited'
rather than OUTCOME.EXITED, the only such outlier; the enum is now imported
and used. A sweep for the other four outcome literals found no further
comparison sites.

Three call sites hand the literal bash flag '-c' to the seam's first
parameter, which the JSDoc described as an absolute script path. Rather than
add a fourth primitive, the contract is corrected to match reality: the
parameter is renamed `target` and documented as the first argv element handed
to the interpreter — normally a script path, but for an interpreter invoked
with an inline program it may be that interpreter's own flag. No behaviour
change.

* test(#3055): assert the cross-platform timeout contract, not the macOS one

The remote runner failed on both Linux lanes (node 22 and node 24, identical)
while the same tests passed locally on macOS. Two assertions encoded a
platform-specific behaviour as a cross-platform guarantee.

When spawnSync times out, macOS preserves the child's partial stdout/stderr;
Linux discards it and returns empty strings. Verified on node v26.5.1 both
ways. The seam passes through whatever spawnSync hands it and cannot
manufacture output that was discarded, so the production code was correct —
the tests were wrong.

Both tests now assert the guarantee the seam actually makes on every
platform: outcome TIMED_OUT, timedOut true, and stdout/stderr always being
strings rather than undefined or a Buffer. The partial-content assertions are
retained behind an explicit process.platform === 'darwin' guard so the macOS
coverage is not lost, and the first test is renamed to say what it now
guarantees.

This is the failure mode the remote matrix exists to catch: local macOS
verification would have shipped it.

* fix(#3055): classify a failed spawn as SPAWN_FAILED, not a timeout

Windows CI caught two defects the Linux matrix could not.

tests/context-predicates-query.test.cjs passes a 32K-char argv value. On
Windows that exceeds the argv limit and spawnSync fails with code
ENAMETOOLONG, signal null, status null. The seam's fallback rule — "otherwise,
status === null implies TIMED_OUT" — swallowed it, so the adapter retried a
spawn that can never succeed and then threw the resource-starvation error. The
old isKilled() returned false for that shape and returned an ordinary failure
result.

TIMED_OUT is now identified positively: code === 'ETIMEDOUT' OR signal is set.
Anything else carrying an error is SPAWN_FAILED, which covers ENAMETOOLONG,
E2BIG, EACCES and ENOENT alike. The signal clause is what keeps a platform
whose timeout errno differs classified correctly, so the greedy catch-all is no
longer needed.

The second defect is a contract regression I introduced and had claimed
otherwise. That same test asserts `typeof r.exitCode === 'number'`, and
toLegacyShape was returning null for BUFFER_OVERFLOW and SPAWN_FAILED, so the
assertion failed on type. The old code returned `err.status ?? 1` on every
non-retried failure path. The adapter now returns 1 again for both, and the
comment claiming "never coerced to exitCode:1, unlike the pre-seam helper" is
retracted: the seam keeps the richer truth (exitCode null plus a distinct
outcome), the legacy adapter keeps the old numeric contract its callers
actually depend on.

Verified on this host: a 4MB argv yields E2BIG -> SPAWN_FAILED; ENOENT ->
SPAWN_FAILED; timeout -> TIMED_OUT; >1MB stdout -> BUFFER_OVERFLOW; SIGKILL ->
KILLED; clean exit -> EXITED.

c043f2946c fix(#2914): per-PR ack fragments instead of one shared mutable file (#2923)
* fix(#2914): never persist a spent emitted-drift ack on next

tests/emitted-drift-ack.json held 34 spent #2834 entries merged via #2900.
Every entry is scoped to the diff that introduced it (#2789), so once merged
to next it is at the base by definition -- spent and inert. Its presence is
still load-bearing though: each PR rewrites the paths map wholesale, making a
persistent base copy a shared cell. Five of six conflicting PRs in the open
queue collided on this file and nothing else.

Deletes the stale document and adds a push-to-next guard asserting it stays
absent. The guard is deliberately NOT wired into lint:ci -- a PR-lane check
against the base is the #2768 shape #2789 exists to end.

Closes #2914

* fix(#2914): per-PR ack fragments instead of one shared mutable file

The emitted-drift acknowledgment lived in a single tests/emitted-drift-ack.json
whose paths map every PR rewrote wholesale. That is a shared mutable cell: any
two PRs needing an ack edit the same lines and conflict. Five of six conflicting
PRs in the open queue collided on this file and nothing else.

Acks now live as per-PR fragments under tests/emitted-drift-acks/, the same
shape .changeset/ already uses to solve this exact problem. Two PRs pick
different filenames, so they cannot collide, and fragments lingering on next
are harmless rather than toxic.

The legacy file's 35 entries are MIGRATED into a fragment, not deleted. An
earlier delete-only attempt failed verification twice: the ratchet lost the
spec-phase.md acknowledgment from #2779 and reported a 10-byte growth with no
ack. Relocating preserves every acknowledgment.

The legacy single file is still READ (unioned with the fragments) because five
open PRs carry it; dropping support would break all of them. A duplicate path
key across sources is a hard error, never last-wins.

The push-to-next guard is retargeted accordingly: it now asserts only that the
legacy SHARED file never reappears on next. Fragments may persist harmlessly.

* fix(#2891): normalize emitted version against the measured tree, not the measuring repo

buildParityManifest normalized the install-time {{GSD_VERSION}} stamp using
PKG_VERSION, bound at module load from the MEASURING repo's package.json. Since
#2767, currentManifests({repoRoot}) measures a DIFFERENT checkout, so during a
release cut the baseline worktree (origin/next, 1.8.0) was normalized with the
current tree's version (1.9.0) and its literal 1.8.0 stamp survived into the
hash. All 364 emitted hook paths diverged and the differential attribution gate
hard-failed every finalize/rc run.

Normalize against the version of the tree that PRODUCED the emitted output:
buildParityManifest takes an explicit pkgVersion, and currentManifests resolves
it from the measured tree via a new fail-closed measuredPackageVersion().

1e3c995e6f fix(#2789): scope the emitted-drift ack to the diff that introduced it (#2803)
* fix(#2789): scope the emitted-drift ack to the diff that introduced it

Every input to `diffEmitted` is base-relative -- `baseline` vs `current`,
`changedPaths` from `git diff base...HEAD` -- except the ack set, which
was read absolutely, from the working tree only. A differential machine
consulting a non-differential input.

So `staleAcks` asks exactly one question, "did a delta consume you?", and
that cannot distinguish an ack that never explained anything (an
authoring mistake) from one whose ripple is now absorbed into the base
(the ack's SUCCESS condition). After merge an ack is in the second state
but reports as the first.

The trigger is ordinary. Actions sets GITHUB_BASE_REF on pull_request
events only, so a push to `next` falls through to origin/next -- the very
commit under test. Both sides build identical content, no deltas remain,
and every live ack is reported stale. PR #2768 acked a deliberate 40866
-> 42020 byte growth, was green on its own lane, and reddened `next` the
moment it merged. It also reds every PR branching off the poisoned base,
and since publish-emitted-baseline is gated on the test job, it blocked
baseline publication too.

Give the ack the base side it was missing. `diffEmitted` now takes
`baseAck` -- the same document at the base ref, via `readAckFileAtRef`.
An entry already present there is SPENT: it may no longer consume a delta
and is never reported stale, only surfaced as `spentAcks` for tidying. An
entry new or reworded in this diff stays live, and if nothing consumes it
that genuinely fails, with blame on the author who just wrote it.

This closes a hazard the IMPLEMENTATION named but could not prevent -- a
leftover ack silently pre-clearing the next ripple on its path. (ADR-2719
§3 asserted only that TOUCHING the file is the alarm; its residual-risk
list never covered pre-clearing, and §3 now carries an amendment.)
Verified against the two-PR laundering sequence -- land an innocuous ack,
then change the artifact -- which passed silently before and now fails on
both the hash pass and the size ratchet.

Three things the design has to get right, each of which was wrong first:

  - A read failure on the base document THROWS; only absence-at-the-ref
    returns null. Returning null on error LOOKS armed (every entry stays
    live) but a live entry's defining power is that it CONSUMES a delta,
    so null is armed on the staleness axis and DISARMED on consumption --
    silently the whole pre-#2789 gate. `git show` cannot tell absence
    from fault, so absence is established with `ls-tree`.
  - Re-arming a spent ack costs actual PROSE. Internal whitespace and the
    zero-width family collapse, and `runtime` is not compared: a doubled
    space, an invisible character, or a decorative field would otherwise
    re-arm an ack whose justification still describes the previous
    ripple, showing a reviewer nothing.
  - `baseAck` is REQUIRED once an ack declares entries -- omission is an
    error, not a silent "inherit nothing" -- so a dropped argument fails
    loudly instead of quietly restoring this bug with the suite green.

Because a corrupt document ON THE BASE is expensive (the loud base-side
failure reds every ack-carrying PR), scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs
blocks one from landing. It is standalone rather than importing parseAck
-- scripts/ ships in the npm package and tests/ does not -- so a parity
test runs both surfaces over one corpus and fails on divergence; it
caught one immediately, a `null` document, now classed as policy rather
than schema. Deadlock is separately foreclosed: a tree carrying no ack
never reads the base, so the PR that DELETES a corrupt file still lands.

`readAckFileAtRef` takes an injected git runner so all four branches are
tested deterministically; it never executes in the remote runner, where
the real-tree test skips for want of a base ref. It also refuses an
option-shaped ref, since execFileSync's array form stops shell
metacharacters but not git's own option parsing.

Rejected: skipping the differential when base == HEAD. It treats the
symptom, costs real coverage on the push-to-next lane, and does nothing
about the downstream PRs the same flaw was reddening.

Deletes the now-spent tests/emitted-drift-ack.json, and updates the
CONTEXT.md canon and ADR-2719 §3: presence is no longer the alarm -- a
LIVE entry is, and a spent one is inert.

1c1af70a4b refactor(#2724): delete the committed golden fixtures and size baselines (#2767)
* test(#2724): delete golden-install-parity fixtures, test, and generator

Removes the 19 committed path->hash manifests, the two per-file size
baselines, tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs, and
scripts/gen-golden-install-parity-zcode.cjs. These were pure functions
of the source tree (ADR-2719); the differential attribution check
(tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs + tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs)
is now the sole gate for emitted-artifact propagation.

tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json and tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs
are unchanged (ADR-2719 section 7 exception).

Follow-up commits fix the resulting bookkeeping: scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs's
existence guard, .gitattributes, package.json scripts, the emitted-provenance
totality guard's IO, the differential check's baseline acquisition, CI
wiring to publish/restore the baseline artifact, and docs.

* refactor(#2724): make the differential attribution check self-sufficient

Three fixes required to delete the golden fixtures without breaking CI:

- scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs: remove tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs
  from the three rules that named it. #2759's missingRuleTestFiles guard
  hard-throws at module load if a rule names a test file absent from
  disk, which would break the changes job on every PR the moment the
  fixture-deletion commit landed.

- tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs: loadManifests() read the
  committed golden fixture directory. With that directory deleted at
  every future ref, this would throw at module load forever, taking
  the Phase 2 totality guard down with it. Rebuilt from real installer
  spawns (MANIFEST_FAMILIES + runMinimalInstall + buildParityManifest),
  the same shape emitted-runtime.cjs's currentManifests() already uses.

- tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs / tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs:
  the real-tree test's baseline acquisition swaps from
  baselineManifestsAtRef(base) (git show at a ref that no longer carries
  fixtures) to resolveBaseline()'s documented precedence: env, then the
  on-disk cache, then an in-job build. The build fallback
  (buildBaselineAtRef, new) checks out base into a throwaway git
  worktree and runs the new scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs there --
  no npm ci needed, since bin/install.js and the test helper shells are
  Node-builtins-only. That script also publishes the baseline artifact
  from CI's push-to-next job (wired in a follow-up commit).

* refactor(#2724): retire the merge-driver bridge and per-file size baselines

The Phase 1 bridge (#2721) is retired now that the artifacts it guarded
are deleted: scripts/git-merge-regen-driver.cjs, its test, and the
'setup:merge-driver' npm script are removed, and the .gitattributes
merge=gsd-regen/linguist-generated block for the three deleted-path
globs is dropped. tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json keeps its normal
merge behavior, unchanged (ADR-2719 section 7).

scripts/update-size-baseline.cjs and its test are removed: their sole
purpose was regenerating tests/workflow-size-baseline.json and
tests/agent-size-baseline.json, both deleted. The 'size:baseline' npm
script and its step in 'regen:derived' go with it. The per-file
baseline describe blocks in tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs and
tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs are removed for the same reason; the
independent loose-tier hard caps are untouched. The differential
attribution check's size ratchet (tests/emitted-diff.cjs, already
shipped in #2723) is the replacement anti-creep mechanism.

'npm run gen:golden' is replaced by 'npm run gen:install-tree', which
keeps regenerating tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json (the one artifact
family ADR-2719 section 7 keeps committed); tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs's
error messages point at the new command name.

tests/golden-parity-single-source.test.cjs's anti-divergence guard
(#2266) is retargeted from the two deleted golden-parity consumers to
their two replacements (tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs and
tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs), which import buildParityManifest
the same way — the divergence risk the guard exists for is unchanged.

Also wires CI: a new publish-emitted-baseline job runs
scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs after a push to next and caches the
result keyed on the sha; the test and test-full jobs restore that cache
on pull_request events, keyed on the PR's base sha, and export
GSD_EMITTED_BASELINE for tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs's real-tree
test to pick up.

* docs(#2724): flip ADR-2719 to Accepted and update contributor docs

Status: Proposed -> Accepted. Regenerated docs/adr/README.md index.

CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/TESTING-SUITES.md, and CONTEXT.md (RULESET.
EMITTED_ATTRIBUTION, RULESET.WORKFLOW_SIZE_BUDGET, RULESET.
AGENT_SIZE_BUDGET, and the Emitted Artifact Provenance glossary entry)
no longer point at the deleted golden-install-parity fixtures, size
baselines, gen:golden, UPDATE_GOLDEN, or the setup:merge-driver /
git-merge-regen-driver.cjs bridge. Editing shipped content now
requires zero manual fixture regeneration, documented against the
differential attribution check instead of the deleted commands.

* docs(#2724): add changeset for removed golden-parity commands

* fix(#2724): drop stale scripts/update-size-baseline.cjs glossary ref

check-glossary-refs.cjs verifies every backtick-wrapped scripts/*.cjs
token in CONTEXT.md resolves to a real file. The RULESET.
EMITTED_ATTRIBUTION rewrite named the deleted script inside backticks,
which the checker reads as a live reference, not historical prose.

* test(#2724): retarget ci-test-scope tests off the deleted golden test

tests/ci-test-scope.test.cjs asserted specific RULES entries select
tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs, and that every rule selecting it
also selects both emitted gates. Both premises broke when the golden
test was deleted (#2724): the deleted filename never re-appears in
targeted_tests, and there was no longer a third file for the gates to
travel alongside. Retargeted the two selection describe blocks to
assert tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs directly (the drift guard the
golden gate's rules were retargeted to), and simplified the third block
to assert the two emitted gates always travel together, without
reference to the golden filename.

* docs(#2724): repoint two contributor how-to guides at the differential check

Both guides told contributors to regenerate a baseline against
tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs, which #2724 deletes. Repointed
at the differential attribution check (tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs,
ADR-2719), which needs no manual regeneration step.

* fix(#2724): repair phase6-capstone-conformance's deleted-baseline read

An independent orthogonal review caught a real regression this branch
introduced into a test file the branch's diff never touched:
tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs read
tests/workflow-size-baseline.json (deleted earlier in this branch) with
no fallback, so the whole suite would throw ENOENT the moment this
branch landed. The test's actual intent — prove the host-loop workflow
files are real, tracked, non-empty docs — is preserved by asserting the
live byte count via the same shared counter (scripts/workflow-size.cjs)
the size guards already use, instead of a committed snapshot.

Also, from the same review: a stale doc comment in
scripts/workflow-size.cjs still named the deleted
scripts/update-size-baseline.cjs as a consumer, and
buildBaselineAtRef's cleanup in tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs left
two fs.rmSync calls unguarded against masking the primary result/error,
inconsistent with the try/catch already wrapping the git cleanup beside
them. Both fixed. A doc comment was added to baselineFamilyNamesAtRef
explaining why it (and its siblings) are kept despite having no
production caller post-cutover — they still answer real questions
about refs that predate the cutover.

* fix(#2724): repair three real regressions found by remote verification

1. tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs's two hostile-input tests
   (non-object manifest, unreadable fixture) drove loadManifests(tmp)
   and monkeypatched fs.readFileSync, both premised on the deleted
   fixture-directory read this branch already replaced with real
   installer spawns -- the negative assertions silently stopped firing.
   loadManifests() now accepts injected {families, install, build,
   clean} (defaulting to production values), giving the tests a real
   seam to drive a bad build result and a build failure through the
   ACTUAL loader instead of a reimplementation, and added coverage that
   clean() still runs on both paths.

2. .github/workflows/test.yml's two 'Export GSD_EMITTED_BASELINE'
   steps hardcoded shell: bash, which is wrong on windows-latest (native
   pwsh) and on test-full's macos-latest legs (native zsh per that job's
   own matrix) -- the repo's H1 shell policy (tests/policy-shell-pinning
   .test.cjs) caught it. Replaced the inline bash script with
   scripts/ci-export-emitted-baseline-env.cjs, a plain Node script: a
   bare 'node <path>' command line has no shell-specific syntax, so it
   runs correctly under bash, zsh, and pwsh without a shell override.

tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs's deleted-baseline read
(caught by the same remote run, at a commit prior to this one) was
already fixed in d0c3b1242 and is not touched here; verified still
passing after these changes.

* fix(#2724): revive ADR-1610's new-file size cap inside the differential

An isolated review caught a real regression: deleting
tests/workflow-size-baseline.json silently dropped NEW_FILE_CAP
(ADR-1610 Decision point 3, the Codex project_doc_max_bytes anchor)
with no successor. tests/helpers/emitted-diff.cjs's size ratchet
already 'continue's past any file absent from sizeBaseline -- exactly
the files this cap exists to bound -- so a brand-new workflow file
sized 32,769-40,960 bytes passed CI clean and shipped, then risked
silent truncation at the Codex anchor at runtime. ADR-1610 is Accepted
and never referenced anywhere in this branch.

Fix: NEW_FILE_CAP=32768 revived inside emitted-diff.cjs's own
size-ratchet loop, keyed off the SAME hasOwnProperty(sizeBaseline,
name) signal the growth check already computes -- 'new' is exactly
'present in sizeCurrent, absent from sizeBaseline'. Not ack-able,
matching the tier hard caps it sits beside: the fix is extraction, not
an acknowledgment entry. Documented, disclosed narrowing: the pure
differential module cannot see XL_WORKFLOWS/LARGE_WORKFLOWS tiering
(tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs's classification), so a
legitimately large new file must extract rather than tier in, one
release earlier than an existing file would need to. ADR-1610 itself is
left unamended -- this restores its decision rather than re-litigating
it.

Also fixes a stale comment plus a redundant real 19-installer-spawn
assertion left over from the pre-injection-seam version of
tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs's build-failure test, and annotates
3 of 4 stale golden-fixture citations in
docs/reference/host-integration-capability-matrix.md as superseded
(the 4th is an accurate historical PR narrative, left alone).

* fix(#2724): repair three red CI defects on the golden-fixture cutover

Windows-only provenance false attribution (defect A): the `hooks-built`
provenance rule attributed `hooks/<name>.cmd` to itself. Those shims are
Windows-only installer output (ensureCodexHooksJsonSessionStart /
ensureCodexHooksJsonEvent, both in src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts) wrapping
the same-named `.js` hook — no `.cmd` file is ever tracked in the repo, so
the self-attribution resolved to a path that exists on no platform. Only
windows-latest ever emits the key, so this only failed there. Fixed by
special-casing `.cmd` inside the SAME `hooks-built` rule (not a dedicated
rule) — a dedicated rule would match zero paths, and therefore report as a
dead rule, on every non-Windows lane of the same totality guard. `sources`
already supported per-match functions; `transforms` is extended to support
the same shape so the attribution can vary by match within one rule.

Baseline bootstrap was structurally impossible (defect B): `buildBaselineAtRef`
ran `scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs` from INSIDE the base-ref worktree, but
that script is new in this PR and therefore absent at any base ref that
predates it — every call failed closed with "Cannot find module". Fixed by
running the PR checkout's own generator against the worktree via a new `--dir`
parameter, decoupling "which copy of the script runs" from "which tree it
measures" (`currentManifests`/`currentSizes` gained a `repoRoot` override,
threaded down to `runMinimalInstall`'s new `installScript` override). This is
not just a bootstrap fix: a differential needs ONE measurement schema applied
to both sides, or the two stop being comparable the moment that schema
evolves — running each side's own copy would silently reintroduce that risk.
Verified locally end-to-end against real origin/next: resolves a valid
{version, sha, manifests, sizes} artifact with the correct sha and no leaked
worktree.

Changeset placeholder (defect C): `pr: 0` -> `pr: 2767`, which is what let
docs-lint evaluate the fragment for the first time; it already passes
(docs/TESTING-SUITES.md and friends already document the removed scripts).

Also fixed while in this file: an eslint no-unused-vars warning surfaced by
the changed lint run (unused `cleanup` import in
tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs).

Added regression coverage for both A and B: a cross-platform spot-check that
drives the real hooks-built rule against `.cmd` keys directly (not through a
real Windows install), and a real-tree test that drives buildBaselineAtRef
against a base ref verified (via git cat-file) to lack the generator, both
skipping honestly rather than false-passing when their precondition does not
hold.

* fix(#2724): repair false .cmd byte-provenance and a permanently-skipping regression test

Two isolated-review findings on PR #2767:

- `hooks-built`'s `.cmd` branch attributed the Windows shim's bytes to the
  wrapped `hooks/<name>.js` script, asserting a byte-provenance link that
  does not exist — traced against buildCodexHookWindowsShimIR
  (src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts), only the script's NAME (a literal in that
  same file) flows into the .cmd bytes, never its content. Point `sources`
  at HOOKS_WINDOWS_SHIM_SRC instead, matching the code-derived convention
  used elsewhere in the table. Since `sources` is checked before
  `transforms` in the differential, the wrong mapping silently excused any
  .cmd byte movement caused by editing the wrapped .js file.

- The `buildBaselineAtRef` regression test skipped unless a resolvable base
  ref still lacked scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs — true only until this
  PR merges, after which every base ref carries the file and the test skips
  forever with zero ongoing coverage. Rebuilt hermetically: synthesize the
  missing-generator condition in-place via git plumbing (a throwaway commit,
  child of HEAD, with just that one file removed from a scratch index),
  never touching the real working tree, HEAD, or index, and never depending
  on ambient history or remotes.

* fix(#2724): tolerate the remote runner's dubious-ownership git mount in the emitted baseline path

The runner container mounts the repo at a path owned by a different uid than
the process running the suite, so git's dubious-ownership protection refuses
every git operation there. GitHub Actions never hits this because
actions/checkout registers the workspace as safe automatically; this
runner's container does not.

buildBaselineAtRef is the production build-fallback the sole remaining
emitted gate depends on (resolveBaseline's in-job-build leg), not just a
test helper, so the fix is in the shared git() wrapper (emitted-runtime.cjs)
that every caller — resolveChangedPaths, resolveBase, buildBaselineAtRef's
worktree add/remove/prune, and the hermetic regression test added in the
prior commit — funnels through, plus gen-emitted-baseline.cjs's own
rev-parse (now reusing that same wrapper instead of a second execFileSync,
so the fix has one source of truth). Each call declares -c
safe.directory=<the exact directory it already operates on>, never the *
wildcard.

Audited every other helper on this surface (emitted-diff.cjs,
emitted-baseline.cjs, install-shared.cjs) for the same gap: none of them
shell out to git at all.

0f60266042 fix(#2723): reconcile emitted manifest families as a set, not a count (#2750)
* fix(#2723): reconcile emitted manifest families as a set, not a shared count

EXPECTED_MANIFEST_COUNT was a single literal 19 asserted against both the
baseline (built at the base ref) and the current tree (built at PR HEAD).
Those sides legitimately differ by one family whenever a PR adds or removes
a runtime, so no value satisfied both: 19 rejected the current side, 20
rejected the baseline side. Every runtime-adding PR was hard-blocked.

Replace the shared literal with three independent signals - the derived
family set, the recorded fixture set, and the families present at the base
ref - reconciled as sets in both directions. A family may appear or vanish
only when the diff plausibly touches the runtime registry, and the failure
names the family rather than a count. An absolute floor catches the
uniformly shrunken universe a same-count self-check passes vacuously.

Found by tracing #2005 (Qoder runtime) through the gate during the ADR-2719
dual-run window.

* fix(#2723): read the baseline family set from the ref, not HEAD's registry

Review found three defects in the first cut.

Blocker: baselineManifestsAtRef enumerated MANIFEST_FAMILIES, which is imported
at module load and therefore describes PR HEAD. A runtime REMOVED by the PR is
already absent from that list, so the base ref was never asked for it, the
baseline silently omitted a family that genuinely existed, and the dropped-family
check could never fire in production - while its unit tests passed, because they
inject the baseline directly. Enumerate from the ref with git ls-tree instead.

Also: narrow the registry-signal set to the two surfaces that actually define the
family set, since every extra path widens what excuses an unattributed delta; drop
the ack bypass, which was a one-sided escape hatch making removals easier to wave
through than additions; and gate the derived/fixtures inputs so malformed values
return a verdict rather than an unhandled TypeError.

* fix(#2723): filter prototype-shaped family names read from git output

baselineFamilyNamesAtRef derives object keys from git ls-tree output rather
than a trusted constant, so a fixture committed as __proto__.json would turn
the manifests[name] assignment into a prototype write. Compared inline rather
than through a Set, which is the form the prototype-pollution analysis
recognizes.

* fix(#2723): require an exact capability path depth and make the ref test hermetic

The remote runner went red on both linux lanes with two real defects.

The capability signal matched by prefix+suffix, so 'capabilities/capability.json'
(no runtime segment) and 'capabilities/a/b/capability.json' (wrong depth) both
attributed a family change and would have excused an unattributed delta. Anchored
to an exact single-segment pattern.

The ref-derivation test reached for this repo's root commit, which is not stable:
the remote runner shallow-clones, so rev-list --max-parents=0 returns the grafted
boundary carrying every fixture, and this repo has two root commits locally anyway.
It now builds its own git repo containing a family absent from the current registry
- the real discriminator, and one the root-commit version could never assert.

Lint then caught a third: the test called t.after() without declaring t.

* fix(#2723): stop asserting ref enumeration against the ambient checkout

The remote runner returned [] for the repo's own HEAD while every hermetic
temp-repo assertion in the same test passed. That is this function's documented
behavior when git cannot read the ref - the runner works from a shallow clone
under a bind-mounted workdir - so the assertion was testing the checkout rather
than the code.

Dropped it. The temp repo already proves the property that matters, and proves it
more strongly: it contains a family absent from the current registry, which a
registry-derived implementation could never report. The ambient path stays covered
by the real-tree test, which skips explicitly when no base ref is resolvable.

A git failure is not silently permissive downstream: baselineManifestsAtRef returns
null on an empty family set and the real-tree test asserts the baseline is non-empty.

9138271b5f test(#2723): differential emitted-attribution check, dual-run beside the golden (#2737)
* test(#2723): differential emitted-attribution check, dual-run beside the golden

Phase 3 of #2719. The conservation law itself, running BESIDE
golden-install-parity.test.cjs -- both green, fixtures untouched.

Every emitted path whose hash moved between next HEAD and PR HEAD must be
attributable, through the Phase 2 table, to a path the PR actually changed.
Unattributable deltas fail with the paths NAMED. The only way through is a
committed acknowledgment, never a flag -- a contributor facing a red gate
sets a flag, which is what UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 is today.

The central decision is that the law is a PURE function (no fs, git,
installer, or clock), with I/O confined to a separate resolver. The naive
one-big-integration-test shape would need ~38 installer spawns per assertion,
so #2723's four failing-first criteria would not in practice have been
written -- which is exactly how a phase ships promised-but-not-built. Pure,
they are millisecond table tests, and the Stryker gate can actually bite.

Buckets are conserved: every moved path lands in exactly one of
attributed | unattributable | acked, property-tested at 400 runs. A path the
provenance table cannot resolve surfaces as an error, never a silent skip.

Asymmetries that are deliberate, each with a test:
- an ADDED emitted key is a ripple too, not just a modified one
- synthesized paths are exempt; code-derived ones are NOT (Phase 2 refused to
  mark them exempt precisely because exempt means permanently blind)
- shrinkage needs no ack; growth does. Gating shrinkage would punish exactly
  what the size ratchet wants
- a STALE ack is a hard failure -- an ack outliving its ripple pre-clears the
  next one on that path
- a failed `git diff` is an explicit error, never an empty changedPaths set;
  reading it as "nothing changed" would make everything unattributable and
  produce a failure storm that reads like a real finding
- prefix sources are SEGMENT-aware, so `agents/` does not attribute
  `agentsfoo/x.md`

Baseline is cached, not committed, keyed on the next sha. A stale key is
refused rather than used: absence fails loudly and gets fixed, whereas
staleness produces a confident wrong answer. An explicitly pointed-at
GSD_EMITTED_BASELINE that is stale is a hard stop; a stale cache falls
through to the in-job build. No baseline-unavailable path returns -- ADR-2719
section 6 names that trap, since in node:test a bare return is a PASS.

Both the conservation property and the staleness gate were mutation-verified
(injecting a swallowed key fails 9 tests; disabling the staleness comparison
fails 5).

Fixtures, generators, the merge driver and the ADR status are untouched --
those are Phase 4 (#2724).

* test(#2723): compute stale acks once, after the size pass

Self-review defect found while the reviewers were running. `staleAcks` was
computed twice: once between the hash pass and the size pass, then again
after. Only the second value was returned, so the first was dead code -- and
the dead one was placed where it would have been WRONG.

An acknowledgment can be consumed by either a hash move or a size growth.
Computing staleness before the size pass reports a legitimate growth ack as
stale, which is a false failure that pushes a contributor to delete the very
ack that is doing its job.

Now computed once, after both passes, with a regression test. Verified by
mutation: restoring the early computation fails 2 tests.

* test(#2723): wire the attribution check to the real tree, not just synthetic input

An isolated reviewer caught that the first cut was INTERFACE-ONLY: nothing
read the ack file from disk, nothing shelled git, nothing built real
manifests. Every test was true of hand-built inputs and none of the repo, so
the acceptance criterion "both this check and golden-install-parity green on
the same tree" was trivially true rather than meaningfully true. That is the
promised-but-not-built failure this epic keeps finding in its predecessors,
recurring one phase later for the wiring itself. Taken, not argued.

Adds tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs -- the only module that touches git,
disk, or the installer -- and an integration test that runs the same pure law
against reality:

- CURRENT side: 19 real installer spawns via runMinimalInstall +
  buildParityManifest, the same machinery the golden harness uses.
- BASELINE side: `git show origin/next:<fixture>`. That is next's RECORDED
  emitted state and it costs nothing. Deliberately NOT the working-tree
  fixtures, which are whatever this PR's author regenerated -- comparing
  against those would be vacuous. Phase 4 deletes the fixtures and swaps in
  resolveBaseline's cache path, already implemented and tested.
- changed paths from real `git diff --name-only origin/next...HEAD`, with the
  git subprocess bounded at 30s per CLAUDE.md's unbounded-subprocess rule.
- the real tests/emitted-drift-ack.json (absent is legal; present-but-empty
  or unparseable throws rather than being read as absent).

Verified it can actually fail: an uncommitted edit to a shipped workflow
moves emitted output but never appears in the committed diff, and the check
names all 18 affected emitted paths with the message format ADR-2719 §1
specifies. Restores clean.

Also from review:
- readAckFile now has a real test exercising the SUT across absent / valid /
  empty / unparseable / unreadable. The previous test asserted fs behaviour
  rather than SUT behaviour, because no SUT ack-reading path existed yet.
- formatReport's sampleLimit gains true limit-1/limit/limit+1 coverage at
  19/20/21. A test was previously NAMED "(limit+1)" while testing no numeric
  limit at all, which is worse than no coverage because it reads as covered.

Windows uses an explicit t.skip (install output is platform-specific there,
mirroring the golden harness) -- never a bare return, which node:test scores
as a PASS.

* test(#2723): cover the claude-local manifest family in the real-tree check

Isolated adversarial review, MAJOR. The real-tree wiring enumerated
Object.keys(RUNTIME_META) -- 18 entries -- while the emitted manifest set has
19 families. The 19th is claude-local: claude is the reference host and the
only runtime with a distinct LOCAL "legacy flat-commands" layout
(commands/gsd-*.md + agents/gsd-*.md at project scope), which
golden-install-parity.test.cjs guards with a hand-coded test outside its
RUNTIME_META loop (#2086).

The family was dropped from BOTH sides, so the test's own self-check
(current.length === baseline.length) passed vacuously at 18 === 18. A PR
changing Claude's local-scope output would have failed the golden while this
check reported ok -- and that disagreement is precisely what the dual-run
window is designed to surface as a provenance-table hole. A wiring omission
masquerading as one is the worst available failure here, because it would
have been read as evidence about Phase 2 rather than a bug in Phase 3.

Fixed by deriving MANIFEST_FAMILIES explicitly (18 global + claude-local at
local scope) instead of inferring the set from RUNTIME_META.

The self-check is also repaired: it now asserts both sides against the
INDEPENDENT EXPECTED_MANIFEST_COUNT from the Phase 2 table, and asserts
claude-local specifically. Comparing the two sides to each other can never
catch a family missing from both -- the assertion has to come from outside.
Verified by mutation: removing claude-local again fails the test.

Also from the same review:
- sourceSatisfiedBy returns the matched source string, so an empty-string
  source would return '' and the caller's `if (hit)` would silently discard a
  real match. Unreachable today (every rule source is a non-empty template)
  but a footgun for the next rule author; now `!== null`.
- the purity fixture used a single-element changedPaths array, so an in-place
  sort would have been invisible. Now three elements in unsorted order.

* fix(#2723): resolve the base ref tolerantly instead of hard-requiring origin/next

The first matrix run failed on both linux lanes:

  differential attribution over the real tree
  cannot resolve origin/next (Command failed: git rev-parse origin/next)

Not a flake, and not an environment excuse -- a real defect in this diff. The
gsd-test runner shallow-clones and merges base+head, so no origin/* remote-
tracking refs exist in the container. My own fail-loud path fired correctly;
what was wrong was hard-depending on that ref existing. GitHub Actions has the
same shape by default, which is exactly why changeset-required.yml carries an
explicit `git fetch origin "${BASE_REF}:refs/remotes/origin/${BASE_REF}"`.

Now resolved through an ordered candidate list -- GSD_EMITTED_BASE (explicit
lane override), then origin/$GITHUB_BASE_REF and $GITHUB_BASE_REF, then
origin/next and next -- de-duplicated, each verified with
`rev-parse --verify <ref>^{commit}`.

When NO candidate resolves the test takes an explicit t.skip() naming every
ref it tried and stating that the gate did not run here. That is the
ADR-2719 section 6 distinction: t.skip is REPORTED as skipped, whereas a bare
return is scored as a PASS. Hard-failing was the other option and is wrong --
it would make the suite permanently red wherever a base ref cannot exist by
construction, which is a statement about the checkout, not a propagation
finding.

The candidate ordering is pinned by a unit test rather than left implicit,
since the ordering IS the fix.
