* chore(#3618): fold fallow-runner onto the canonical binary resolver
Epic #3411 Phase 2. src/fallow-runner.cts was the fourth divergent
implementation of Windows binary resolution the epic enumerated —
candidateNames, isExecutableFile, findInPath, findInNodeModules, 40 lines.
All four are deleted; resolveFallowBinary is one seam call.
Two OPT-IN options were added to resolveExecutableBinary to make the fold
behavior-preserving, both defaulting off so Phase 1's callers are byte-identical:
prependPaths dirs searched before env.PATH, in order, through the
identical per-directory candidate logic. This expresses
node_modules/.bin-first precedence without env surgery —
the rejected alternative re-introduced the
spread-loses-the-proxy hazard the Windows lane caught in
Phase 1, at every future call site instead of once.
requireExecutable POSIX-only accessSync(X_OK); a no-op on win32 where mode
bits do not mean execute. Opt-in rather than default
because unconditional X_OK breaks #3445's suite, which
stages candidates with plain writeFileSync and never sets
an exec bit — the repo bans chmod in tests — so every one
would resolve to null on POSIX.
Deliberate behavior change on Windows: fallow's prior candidate list ended in a
BARE fallow. The seam never tries a bare name there, so an extensionless file
beside fallow.cmd is no longer resolved. That is the fix, not a regression — the
extensionless file is npm's POSIX sh shim, which CreateProcess cannot run
(#3275). Rows 7 and 8 of the design record it.
Defect found while working, fixed inline: the resolution order was documented
BACKWARDS as PATH-then-.bin in structural-pre-pass.md, docs/INVENTORY.md and
four INVENTORY translations. The code has always been .bin first, and .bin first
is correct — a project-local tool should beat a global one. The archived
changeset is left alone as a historical record.
fallow-runner had no test file at all. tests/fallow-runner.test.cjs is new
(F1-F15) and the seam options are pinned by S1-S12 folded into the existing
dispatch suite. RED proven by execution: with both source files stashed and
build:lib re-run, 7 of 27 probe cases failed.

* chore(#3618): backfill changeset pr number 3633
* fix(#3618): assert both platform contracts in F4 instead of a POSIX-only premise
Windows CI on #3633 failed F4. The test monkeypatched accessSync to throw and
asserted resolveFallowBinary returned null — but that premise, that the X_OK
check is consulted at all, is POSIX-only by design. requireExecutable is a
deliberate no-op on win32 because Windows mode bits do not mean execute, so the
staged fixture correctly resolved there.
40-design.md's negative-space section already states this carve-out verbatim.
The test contradicted the design it was written from: fixtures were made
platform-adaptive in the previous commit, and this assertion was left
platform-blind.
F4 now asserts BOTH contracts — null on POSIX, resolves on win32 — rather than
skipping either. A t.skip on one lane would have been green and would have left
the win32 carve-out unpinned by fallow's own entry point.
Audited every other row for the same class. F1-F3, F5, F6, F11-F15 hold on both
platforms; F7-F10 and S1-S12 inject platform explicitly and are unaffected. F4
was the only row with a single-platform premise.
The local probe runs on one platform and structurally cannot catch this, which
is why it was green — that limitation is now stated at the top of the probe so a
green probe is not mistaken for platform coverage. The win32 branch was proven
by injecting platform:'win32' with accessSync throwing and asserting it still
resolves.
