/**
 * tests/mutation-workflow-base-ref.test.cjs
 *
 * Regression tests for the mutation-gate base-ref fetch (issue #2452).
 *
 * Background: `.github/workflows/mutation.yml` checks out with `fetch-depth: 0`
 * (full history) and then re-fetched the base branch with `--depth=1`. That
 * shallow re-fetch truncates the base ref's ancestry, so the three-dot diff in
 * scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs (`git diff --name-only origin/<base>...HEAD`)
 * can no longer compute a merge base and aborts with
 * `fatal: origin/next...HEAD: no merge base`, exit 2. The `detect` job then
 * fails and the `mutate` shards never run — the 80% mutation-score threshold
 * goes UNVERIFIED rather than enforced.
 *
 * The failure is branch-position dependent, which is why it went unnoticed: a
 * branch already level with the base incidentally passes (its merge base IS
 * the single fetched commit), while a branch that is BEHIND the base fails.
 *
 * Test 1 is the contract guard (RED on origin/next, GREEN after the fix).
 * Test 2 is a real-git mechanism proof: it reconstructs the runner's ref
 * topology in a temp repo and demonstrates that the shallow fetch breaks the
 * three-dot diff while a full fetch resolves it — proving the fix is both
 * necessary and sufficient rather than asserting on YAML text alone.
