// docs-guard-exempt: 'docs/readme.md' appears only inside literal fixture
// `code` strings written to synthetic files and fed to the no-source-grep
// lint under test — this file never itself reads a real docs/ file off disk.

// Tests for scripts/lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs — the guard that (a)
// ratchets exemption-marker comments on IDENTITY (uncited comments must
// carry a tracking-issue ref or be grandfathered), (b) ratchets EFFECTIVE
// exemption SITES (a marker actually suppressing a violation the
// `no-source-grep` rule detects there) against a tight ceiling, and (c)
// tracks UNVERIFIED marker-bearing files (a marker with no detectable
// violation nearby) against a loose ceiling that never fails on a drop
// (#3520 / epic #3464 phase 5). Uses the script's env overrides to point at
// sandbox fixture dirs/files; never touches the real tests/ dir or the real
// allowlist/ceiling JSON.
//
// Identifier note: the script computes `relpath = path.relative(ROOT, full)`
// where ROOT is the repo root (path.join(__dirname, '..') inside the script),
// NOT relative to the fixture tests dir. Since fixtures live in a temp dir
// outside the repo, the identifiers the script produces are relative paths
// like `../../../../tmp/xyz/tests-0/foo.test.cjs`, not `tests/foo.test.cjs`.
// This file mirrors that exact computation (relToRoot below) rather than
// hardcoding a `tests/...`-shaped string, so assertions match reality
// regardless of where the OS places the temp dir.
