Kjell Tore Guttormsen 8e207c6c49 test(sweep): stop the --days 0 check from racing a one-second cutoff
Measured, not guessed: the check failed 7 runs in 20, not once. The cause is
a same-second collision, reproduced deterministically - a notice minted at
20260801205457 against a cutoff of 20260801205457 survives, the same notice
60s older is closed.

coord-sweep.sh is right and is left alone. Its cutoff is second-granular and
it closes strictly older messages, which spares rather than closes at the
boundary; at any real --days value one second is unobservable. Relaxing that
guard to <= would make a destructive script more aggressive to satisfy a test.

So the test was claiming what the code does not promise: that a notice minted
earlier in the same run is necessarily older at second granularity. Under a
second of work separates the two, so it was a coin flip. Aged by 5 seconds
through the existing age_it, which keeps it well inside the default 14-day
window and clear of the boundary. No sleep: that would have hidden the answer
rather than fixed it.

Selftest 182 -> 183, 20/20 green.

# 20. The inbox is a priority, not a suggestion. The injection block is the ONLY
# place every repo is told what to do with a message, so the wording IS the
# protocol: "consider replying/resolving where it fits in this session" (through
# 0.4.0) told every session it was free to defer, and that is exactly what they
# did - messages sat unanswered for weeks while each repo did its own work first.
# Two independent properties are pinned here, and both matter.
# (a) ORDERING + COMPLETION: handle the inbox before the work the session came
# to do, and drive every directed message to a terminal state before the
# session ends. BOTH terminal states must be named. Through 0.10.0 the
# reason was that the format could not distinguish a question from a notice,
# so preferring the reply would have manufactured traffic; since the
# reply-expected field (section 27) the reason is different and stronger.
# The sender now DECLARES which terminal state it expects, and a declaration
# is not an instruction: the receiver keeps both, and closing a
# reply-expected message with coord-done stays legal as long as the reason
# is stated. Dropping that clause would let any sender - the field is
# untrusted cross-repo input like everything else in the file - mint
# obligations for another repo by setting one word.
# (b) The obligation is PROCEDURAL, never substantive. Raising priority must not
# turn untrusted content into instructions - "respond" and "comply" are
# different acts, and only the operator authorizes the second. The
# untrusted-data framing is re-asserted here as a regression guard so a
# future reword of the priority text cannot quietly drop it.

# mailbox names, which are cross-repo input. Two integers cannot be forged.

# Without an explicit disclaimer the numbers read as an extension of that
# obligation, and a session would start answering other repos' mail. The
# line must say counting is not delivering, or it implies these were read.
# (c) SILENT ONLY WHEN NOTHING IS PENDING ANYWHERE. Through 0.7.0 the read path
# was silent whenever THIS repo had nothing; that is now a no-op only when
# the whole mailbox is empty. A deliberate contract change: the empty-inbox
# session is precisely the one that needed the line.
# Numbers are asserted against a throwaway root of its own so they are exact,

# 27. reply-expected: the format can finally say "this one needs no answer".
# Rule 7 shipped an obligation on a format with four fields, none of which could
# distinguish a question from a notice - so the injection had to name both
# terminal states and prefer neither, and the count had to treat every unarchived
# file as debt. This section pins the fifth field and the three consequences.
# (a) ABSENT MEANS EXPECTED. Every message already on disk lacks the field, and
# so does every caller that has not been updated. Absent must therefore keep
# meaning what it means today: a reply is owed. The failure mode of a
# forgotten flag is then OVER-counting debt, which is visible and harmless;
# the opposite default would manufacture invisible debt. Replies are not a
# special case - a reply defaults to expecting one too, because a hidden
# exception is exactly the kind of implicit rule this engine refuses.
# (b) A BROADCAST IS ALWAYS reply-expected: no, whether or not --fyi was passed.
# Not because the sender omitted a flag, but because --reply-to resolves in
# $COORD/<self>/{inbox,archive} and a broadcast lives in _broadcast/: there
# is no reply path at all. Marking one "reply expected" would be a promise
# the engine cannot keep.
# (c) THE FIELD IS FRONTMATTER, AND ONLY FRONTMATTER. Message bodies are
# untrusted cross-repo input, so a body line reading "reply-expected: no"
# must not silence a real debt. The read of the field is bounded to the
# block between the two '---' terminators, unlike the grep -m1 the older
# fields use, where frontmatter-comes-first happens to save them.
