Kjell Tore Guttormsen 6de2408b28 test(brief): pin the malformed route line, the case that will actually occur
The briefing had checks for a VALID route line and for a MISSING one, but
not for one that exists and carries a value outside route.sh's closed set -
which is the case that arrives on its own as 23 hand-written route lines
drift. route.sh exits 2, the command comes back empty, and without a check
nothing stops a future edit from printing a bare "$ ": the shape of a
runnable command carrying nothing, which is worse than an absent command
because it reads as copied-and-pasteable.

Two checks, because the marker appearing and the command line NOT appearing
are different claims and only both together describe the behavior. Verified
the fixture fails for the right reason: `--path knwon` exits 2 with
"unknown value".

board-selftest 49 -> 51. No behavior change; no version bump.
