test(ast-taint): materialize the ast-scan fixtures at test time
The five Python taint fixtures under tests/fixtures/ast-scan/ move into
tests/helpers/payload-trees.mjs as the `ast-scan` tree, written to a temp
dir by the test like the three S1 trees. av-surface probe (d) gains the
directory: 5 -> 6 trees.

PM decision (S3 order): creds-net.py is os.environ -> requests.post, the
exfiltration shape AV classifiers are trained on; one rule, "no
payload-shaped runnable file on disk", is easier to defend than an
exception. The .py files match no SIG rule and are stored as plain lines.

Deviation from the order: it named three files (sinks, creds-net, scope);
the directory holds five (also reassign.py, sentinel.py). Gating the
directory means all five move.

Measured: (d) red first, d=1 (5 files) of 6 trees, then 0. sha256 of all
five on-disk files taken before git rm; payload-trees.test.mjs asserts
them, mutation-checked (one byte in creds-net.py -> red, restored
byte-identical). ast-taint-scanner.test.mjs 12/12 with the materialized
tree, both before and after the files were removed.

// payload-trees.mjs — poisoned fixture trees, built at test time, never on disk.
//
// v8.1.0 AV surface (S1, 2026-09-22): a Windows user cloning this repository
// must not have Defender quarantine anything. These trees used to live under
// tests/fixtures/*/poisoned*; they are now materialized into a temp dir when a
// test needs them. Two rules keep the source itself off the AV surface:
// - a string that would match a SIG rule is split into fragments
// ('@ev' + 'al(...'), so no contiguous payload literal sits on disk;
// - a zero-width carrier is built with String.fromCodePoint, never written
// as a literal character.
// S3 (2026-09-22) added `ast-scan`: five Python taint fixtures. They match no
// SIG rule and are stored as plain lines, but a runnable .py with the
// os.environ -> requests.post shape is what AV classifiers are trained on, so
// they follow the same rule: no payload-shaped runnable file on disk.
// Each file carries the sha256 of the bytes that were on disk before the move,
// measured then, so tests/helpers/payload-trees.test.mjs proves the scanners
// still see exactly what they saw before (an independent anchor, not a hash of
// this module's own output).
