An independent review of abc3083 found 15 defects, the two worst verified
in scratch repos. Each fix started with a test that failed.
- Proof of red could be "proven" by the environment: a start point
unpacked with git archive had no node_modules and no .git, so any test
failed there. The start point is now a git clone --shared checked out at
start_sha, gitignored top-level entries are linked in, and a control run
(start point + the change) must pass, or the result is not-run.
- The Test first file was never committed (the template lists it apart
from Files:) and leaked into the next step's diff. The step's scope is
now Files: + test files, staged at the checkpoint.
- New files outside Files: were invisible to every check. Every untracked
file is registered with --intent-to-add; a revert unregisters them.
- The floor guard paired renames (foo.test.js -> .bak read as clean) and
missed skipIf and node's t.skip/t.todo; prose files no longer count as
stubs.
- Phase 7.5 audited from the last step's start_sha; it now uses the run's
session_start_sha.
- The done line is written after the checkpoint and checked with --commit.
- fix_rounds never passes 5; attempts are never reset; re-control keeps
the spec/quality verdicts and earlier floor-guard rulings; the closed
stop list maps every existing stop; failed vs stopped made consistent;
the controller's effort is said, not assumed.
Tests: 1470 (1468 pass, 0 fail, 2 skipped).
