Axiom 3: a convention that is not a build error does not exist. Four documented rules had nothing enforcing them. Two of the four gates were red the moment they were written, which is the strongest evidence they were needed.

Closes #128, #135, #150. Partially addresses #97's family.

What the two red gates found

File Claimed Actually
AGENTS.md:7 27 @ultimat3/* packages, all 28 publish at 1.0.0 29 and 30, at 3.0.0 — two majors stale, in the first file an agent reads
wiki/Tutorial-02:28,37 x g resource writes 25 files, 27 with --admin --live 27 and 29
docs/architecture/README.md:8 28 packages 29

All corrected here, and all now derived rather than restated.

The four gates

scripts/generator-counts.ts — #128

Derives counts from planNewApp() / generate(), the pure planners --dry-run calls: ~330ms in-process against ~4.5s for five subprocesses. Two rules — membership (a documented N files must be a count the generator actually emits) and association (N with --flag must be that variant's count).

What it does not catch, pinned as a test rather than papered over: a line that swaps two currently-valid numbers without writing with. The alternative is parsing English.

x g action is deliberately unmodelled — writeFiles skips existing slice modules, so its count runs 3 (finished slice) to 9 (bare), and wiki/CLI-Reference.md:233 and Tutorial-02:38 are correct about different states. One declared heuristic: a count qualified by a path or the word "chart" is about that artifact, which is how five pages saying "x new writes docker/helm, 8 files" stay true.

scripts/release-facts.ts — #135

Package counts checked against the tree, not against each other. Two exact counts (29 scoped, 30 total) plus one membership phrasing — because "all 30 packages" means the total on wiki/Upgrading.md and the scoped set on wiki/FAQ.md, and both are correct English.

Skips CHANGELOG.md, docs/plans/, and any line pinning an older release. Does not check registry state, provenance or publisher attachment — those need a network, and version-stamps.ts draws the same line. The version itself stays its rule, not a second reporter.

scripts/test-fix-citations.ts

Every fix: string a test asserts, run against the live command catalogue — the check doc-commands.ts applies to docs, applied to test-asserted strings for the first time. 245 evaluated.

The negative-fixture exemption is a property of the code, not a filename allowlist. A citation counts only when the code evaluates it, so a command inside a comment is prose and one inside another string is a fixture's source text. error-contract.test.ts writes exactly that to disk seven times, and all seven fall out for free.

It found 8 unrunnable citations across 4 packages — including x logs tail, the command this repo has already shipped a broken fix: for, still present twice:

Pinned Cites
packages/ai/src/tools.test.ts:223 x db query "select …"
packages/core/src/errors.test.ts:215 x storage use local
packages/flags/src/runtime.test.ts:22 x flags --json
packages/http/src/overlay.test.ts:116,143,227 x db preload, x db batch
packages/http/src/pipeline.app.test.ts:56,152 x logs tail

A previous census of packages/cli alone found zero and concluded the rule had been absorbed. Repo-wide it had not — a good reminder that a clean result in one package is not a clean result. All 8 are fixtures rather than shipped errors (checkErrorFixes already holds src/ to this and finds nothing), so they are pinned rather than fixed; the files belong to other slices.

Two false-positive classes the census surfaced and the rule now excludes: comments, and .not.toContain('x logs') — three tests that enforce this very rule, which a naive scanner reports as breaking it.

scripts/to-throw-returns.ts — #150

Premise confirmed by execution, not assumption:

expect(() => new Boom('x')).toThrow(Boom)   // PASSES

bun's toThrow accepts an error that was returned. The bare and string-matcher forms do too; returning a non-Error is correctly reported. The check is itself a test, so if bun fixes this the rule goes red and can be deleted.

rejects.toThrow is NOT vulnerable — a resolved promise is caught — so the rule excludes it rather than flagging correct assertions.

Census: 370 expect(() => …).toThrow* sites and 196 exported functions declared to return an error (sendFailed, routeNotFound, fixtureUnknown, …). That is the live surface, and nothing guarded it. Zero are broken today, which makes this preventive rather than a cleanup — exactly the shape #150 asked for.

Reports only what is certain: the callback constructs an error, or calls one of those 196 (derived from source, never listed). Does not catch expect(returnsAnError).toThrow() — a named reference needs type information — and that hole is pinned by a test so it cannot be assumed away.

#132 — not built, and here is the count

throw new Error in test files: 263, not 295. Stale high. 142 files.

The rule does not apply unchanged, and a 263-count ratchet would pin mostly-correct code:

Shape Count Verdict
a simulated failure the code under test must survive — 'smtp unavailable', 'redis: connection refused', 'subscriber blew up' 184 correct as written. Production genuinely receives bare Errors from app code and drivers — that is what renderThrowable, X_ROUTE_LOAD_FAILED and the drain's hook-failure path exist for. Converting these makes the framework's hostile-input coverage weaker. An anti-fix.
a throw used as an assertion — 'expected a throw' 75 a defect, but a different one: the fix is expect.unreachable(), not an error code
no literal message 4 —

Of the 75, 25 sit inside a try whose catch does not rethrow, so the assertion is swallowed and surfaces as expected undefined to be 'X_…' rather than "the call did not throw". Misleading, not silent — each was checked, and none can pass wrongly, because every catch asserts something a bare Error fails.

So the rule is right and ~70% of 263 is noise. A gate pinning it is a gate nobody reads. The honest alternative is a throw-as-assertion rule over the 75 — a bun:test API rule, not an error-taxonomy one. Not built unasked, because it changes the issue's premise.

#97 — still not built

No second-package census was run, so nothing overturns the earlier packages/cli result (66 catch bindings, 3 mentions, all false positives). Left alone deliberately.

Cost

Marginal, in-process, warm — which is how verify.ts runs them:

Gate ms
generator-counts 344
release-facts 127
test-fix-citations 418
to-throw-returns 531
added to x verify ~1.4s on a 300s budget

Two gates each glob the test corpus; sharing that read would save ~0.3s. Not done — 1.4s did not justify the coupling.

Wired into the existing errors and manifest steps, no new VerifyStepName — the closed list is the design.

Codes

Eight, all in the gate-scripts exception list that already holds X_COVERAGE_* and X_TEST_TYPECHECK_*: they never ship, so no package may own them. Each gate follows the house shape — a hazard code, a ratchet-hygiene code, and an unscanned code for the false green.

X_DOC_FILE_COUNT_STALE · X_DOC_FILE_COUNT_UNSCANNED · X_DOC_RELEASE_FACT_STALE · X_DOC_RELEASE_FACT_UNSCANNED · X_TEST_FIX_UNRUNNABLE · X_TEST_FIX_PIN_STALE · X_TEST_FIX_UNSCANNED · X_TEST_THROW_NOT_THROWN

Manifest regenerated: 30 packages, 471 error codes.

Verification

46 tests across the four suites, 0 fail. bunx biome check scripts clean over 114 files. All four gates green after the corrections; error-render, doc-fixes and error-map still green.

Six mutations applied and reverted — and the two negative cases matter more than the positives:

Mutation Caught
expect(() => sqlUnsafe('x', 1)).toThrow() added to a test ✓ names the factory and the wrap-in-a-throw edit
a test fix citing x db teleport --now ✓
http pinned at 9 when 5 is measured ✓ X_TEST_FIX_PIN_STALE → --unpin http
--unpin on a package already at its measure ✓ refuses, exit 1
the checker's own fixture strings ✓ not flagged — the tokenizer exemption
a .not.toContain('x logs') assertion ✓ not flagged

One fix applied to A4's own work before landing: errorFactoriesIn(source).sort() mutated a readonly string[]. bun test passed and the tests program does not cover scripts/*.test.ts, so only the repo-wide tsc -b caught it — the same defect class three other slices found this sweep.

…eady broken

Axiom 3: a convention that is not a build error does not exist. Four documented rules had nothing
enforcing them. Two of the four gates were **red the moment they were written**, which is the
strongest evidence they were needed.

**`AGENTS.md` claimed 27 packages, 28 publishing, at version 1.0.0** — two majors stale, and the
first file an agent reads. `wiki/Tutorial-02` claimed `x g resource` writes 25 files; it writes 27.
`docs/architecture/README.md` said 28 packages. All corrected, and now derived.

**`scripts/generator-counts.ts`** — derives counts from `planNewApp()`/`generate()`, the pure
planners `--dry-run` calls: ~330ms in-process against ~4.5s for five subprocesses. Two rules:
*membership* (a documented `N files` must be a count the generator emits) and *association*
(`N with --flag` must be that variant's count). `x g action` is deliberately unmodelled — `writeFiles`
skips existing slice modules, so its count runs 3 for a finished slice to 9 for a bare one, and two
pages are correct about different states.

**`scripts/release-facts.ts`** — package counts checked against the tree, not against each other.
Two exact counts (29 scoped, 30 total) plus a membership phrasing, because "all 30 packages" means
the total on one page and the scoped set on another and both are correct English. Does **not** check
registry state, provenance or publisher attachment: those need a network, and `version-stamps.ts`
draws the same line.

**`scripts/test-fix-citations.ts`** — every `fix:` a test asserts, run against the live command
catalogue. The exemption for deliberate negative fixtures is **a property of the code, not a
filename allowlist**: a citation counts only when the code *evaluates* it, so a command inside
another string is a fixture's source text and falls out for free — which is exactly what
`error-contract.test.ts` writes to disk seven times.

It found **8 unrunnable citations across 4 packages**, including `x logs tail` — the command this
repo has already shipped a broken `fix:` for — still present twice in `packages/http`. A previous
census of `packages/cli` alone had found zero and concluded the rule had been absorbed; repo-wide it
had not. Pinned rather than fixed, because those files belong to other slices.

**`scripts/to-throw-returns.ts`** — `expect(() => new Boom('x')).toThrow(Boom)` **passes**, because
bun's `toThrow` accepts an error that was *returned*. Confirmed by executing it, and the check is
itself a test, so if bun fixes this the rule goes red and can be deleted. `rejects.toThrow` is NOT
vulnerable — a resolved promise is caught — so the rule excludes it rather than flagging correct
assertions. 370 call sites and 196 exported error factories are the live surface; zero are broken
today, which is what makes this preventive rather than a cleanup.

Eight codes, all in the gate-scripts exception list that already holds `X_COVERAGE_*` and
`X_TEST_TYPECHECK_*` — they never ship, so no package may own them. Each gate follows the house
shape: a hazard code, a ratchet-hygiene code, and an unscanned code for the false green.

~1.4s added to `x verify` on a 300s budget, measured per gate. Two of them glob the test corpus and
sharing that read would save ~0.3s; not done, because 1.4s did not justify the coupling.

46 tests, 0 fail. Six mutations confirmed, including two negative cases that matter more than the
positives: the checker's own fixture strings are not flagged, and neither is a
`.not.toContain('x logs')` assertion — three tests enforce this very rule and a naive scanner
reports them as breaking it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds repository gates for generator counts, release facts, test-fix citations, and invalid synchronous toThrow assertions. It wires these gates into x verify, registers their error codes, adds tests, and updates related repository facts.

Changes

Validation gates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation fact gates
scripts/generator-counts.ts, scripts/generator-counts.test.ts, scripts/release-facts.ts, scripts/release-facts.test.ts, framework.manifest.json, wiki/Tutorial-02-First-Feature.md
Generator planners now validate documented file counts. Workspace-derived package counts now validate Markdown release facts. Stale and unscanned claims produce findings.
Test contract gates
scripts/lib/source-strings.ts, scripts/lib/test-fix-pins.ts, scripts/test-fix-citations.ts, scripts/test-fix-citations.test.ts, scripts/to-throw-returns.ts, scripts/to-throw-returns.test.ts, framework.manifest.json
Test sources are scanned for unrunnable fix: citations and synchronous toThrow callbacks that return errors. Pin updates, diagnostics, CLI output, and tests are included.
Verification wiring and repository facts
scripts/verify.ts, framework.manifest.json, AGENTS.md, docs/architecture/README.md, wiki/Error-Codes.md, wiki/Tutorial-02-First-Feature.md
The new findings are added to manifest and error-contract checks. Repository metadata, error-code documentation, and generator counts now state the current values.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6be3a

The PR adds verification gates, but the current implementation can miss invalid documentation citations, misclassify valid async assertions, and emit findings without executable remediation; it also leaves a package-publication claim unsupported by the check. These bounded correctness and maintenance issues should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

Do not claim that every package publishes to npm.

@ultimat3/flags has never been published. The statement that all 30 packages publish in lockstep is false. Remove it or replace it with a registry-verified statement. scripts/release-facts.ts only validates workspace facts.

Based on learnings, @ultimat3/flags has never been published to npm.

Use syntax-aware parsing for source literals.

This scanner cannot distinguish regex literals from strings. For example, /\'/ can consume a later
fix: 'x db nope' literal and hide an unrunnable citation.

It also loses multiline assertion context. Biome can format
expect(error.fix).toBe(\n 'x db nope',\n), but literal.prefix then contains only indentation.

Track AST string nodes and their source ranges. Do not calculate a source end offset from decoded
value.length. Add regression cases for regex quotes, escaped delimiters, and multiline assertions.

Bun 1.3.0 Bun.exit API Bun.exitCode documentation

💡 Result:

In the Bun runtime, Bun.exit is not a standard top-level function, and Bun.exitCode is not a globally exposed property. Instead, Bun uses the standard Node.js process API (process.exit and process.exitCode) for managing process termination [1][2][3]. For managing process exits, you should use the following standard APIs: 1. process.exit(code?: number): Exits the current process with the given exit code. If omitted, it defaults to 0 [1]. 2. process.exitCode: Allows you to set the exit code that will be used when the process exits naturally without an explicit call to process.exit [1]. When working with subprocesses created via Bun.spawn or Bun.shell, the exit code is accessed through the Subprocess object [4][5]: - Subprocess.exitCode: A readonly property that returns the exit code of the process as a number, or null if the process has not yet exited [4][5]. - Bun Shell: When using the Bun shell ($), non-zero exit codes are handled via ShellError. You can access the exit code of a failed command through the.exitCode property of the error or the resulting object when using.nothrow [6]. There were no changes to process exit management in the Bun 1.3.0 release; that release focused on features like improved support for frontend development and performance enhancements for N-API [7][8].

Bun test expect async function toThrow returned Promise synchronous toThrow behavior

💡 Result:

In Bun's test runner, the behavior of toThrow depends entirely on whether you are using it synchronously or asynchronously with .rejects [1][2]. 1. Synchronous .toThrow() If you pass a function directly to expect(), it must be a synchronous function that throws immediately when called [2][3]. typescript expect(() => { throw new Error("Oops!"); }).toThrow("Oops!"); If you pass an async function (or a function returning a Promise) to a plain .toThrow(), it will typically fail because the matcher expects the throw to occur synchronously during the execution of the function callback [2][3]. 2. Asynchronous .rejects.toThrow() To test that an asynchronous function (or a Promise) rejects with a specific error, you must use the .rejects modifier [1][2]. This must be awaited [1]. typescript test("should handle async errors", async () => { await expect(async () => { await fetchUser("invalid-id"); }).rejects.toThrow("User not found"); }); When using .rejects, Bun awaits the provided Promise or the result of the provided function and asserts that it rejects [1][4]. Recent updates to Bun have improved compatibility, allowing .rejects to accept both Promise instances and functions that return Promises [4]. Important Caveat: Do not use expect(async () => ...).toThrow() if you intend to test an asynchronous rejection. This will not behave as a Promise-based assertion and will not wait for the asynchronous error to occur [1][2]. Always use the await expect(...).rejects.toThrow() pattern for asynchronous operations [1].

Citations:


Exclude async callbacks from SYNC_TO_THROW. An async callback returns a Promise, so expect(async () => new MailError()).toThrow(...) is not a returned-Error case. Remove (?:async\s*)? and add a regression test. Use .rejects.toThrow(...) for async assertions.

…does not declare

`bun run scripts/release.ts --help` stamped every package, the helm chart and both tracked apps to
3.0.1. There is no `--help`: the parser shrugged at the token, `readReleaseVersion` fell through to
"no --version, no --bump", and that **defaulted to a patch bump**. A release is the most expensive
thing in this repo to undo, and it was the one script that acted on a typo.

Two refusals, both before a manifest is touched:

- `X_RELEASE_FLAG_UNKNOWN` — a `--flag` this script does not declare. The known set is now an
  exported constant, so the refusal names it.
- `X_RELEASE_VERSION_UNSTATED` — neither `--version` nor `--bump`. The version to publish is
  always somebody's decision, so it is always stated. `--check` is unaffected.

**The test suite pinned the defect as a feature.** `release.test.ts` asserted
`readReleaseVersion({ explicit: undefined, bump: undefined })` returns `{ version: '1.2.1' }` — it
encoded "acting on no instruction" as correct behaviour, which is why nothing caught this. That
assertion is inverted, and two more cover the unknown-flag path.

Verified by running all four shapes: `--help` refuses, a bare invocation refuses, `--check 3.0.0`
still answers, and `--bump major --dry-run` still previews 4.0.0 — with zero manifests written in
any of them.

Also in this commit, the README's economy section re-derived (`tokei 14.0.0`, `As of 2026-08-20`)
and led with the multiplier it had never actually stated: **8.8×** production code the app author
does not own, 11.1 : 1 counting everything hand-written against all framework source. Stated with
the caveat that matters — that is code you never own, test or fix, **not** a claim that a DIY build
of the same app would be nine times bigger, because a DIY build reaches for libraries too. The
sharper per-feature figure is the ~16 code lines that buy a fully projected endpoint.

Framework source moved 106,939 → 107,809 across this sweep, its tests 142,922 → 144,046, the 17
runtime packages 63,754 → 63,949, and the app 9,707 → 9,709.

…lure is isolated

The gate scripts, their tests and their codes all stay. Only the four lines in `scripts/verify.ts`
that call them are reverted, because `x verify` on this branch dies in CI at ~166 seconds — inside
the `live` step, which this branch does not touch — producing **no output at all**. `--json`
buffers the whole report, so a process that dies mid-run prints nothing, and three re-runs said
exactly as much.

What is established, so the follow-up does not re-derive it: the four gates return zero findings in
1.4s when called in one process the way `verify.ts` calls them; each is green standalone; `main`
with the same 18 steps is green; and the failure is not a timeout (12 minutes configured, 3m31s
used). The leading hypothesis is memory — two of the gates each glob the whole test corpus, and the
death is inside the step that opens replication slots — which is why the follow-up will share that
read rather than just re-wiring.

Run them by hand meanwhile; all four are executable and all four are green:

    bun run scripts/generator-counts.ts
    bun run scripts/release-facts.ts
    bun run scripts/test-fix-citations.ts
    bun run scripts/to-throw-returns.ts

A gate that is written and not mounted is the defect this sweep spent all week closing, so this is
a deliberate one-PR debt with its own follow-up, not a quiet drop.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…s the CI failure

Two of the four new gates shipped a `fix:` built from a template literal —
`` `check TEST_GLOBS in scripts/${SCRIPT}.ts …` ``. The fix-line contract reads these **statically**,
so the interpolation renders as `scripts/<value>.ts`, which names no file and no command:

    X_ERROR_FIX_INVALID  fix "check FACT_GLOBS and the patterns in scripts/<value>.ts still match
                         how the pages write it" says "check" and names no command, call or file

`generator-counts.ts` passed the same contract because it writes its path as a literal. Both
offenders now do too, each with a comment saying why the interpolation cannot come back.

That is the failure the previous commit unwired the gates to isolate, so the wiring is restored in
the same change — the gates are mounted again, which is where a gate belongs.

The defect is the one this sweep keeps finding in a new place: a value hidden inside a template
literal that a static reader cannot see. `bun run error-render` exists for exactly that shape on
`cause:`; this is its sibling on `fix:`, and axiom 4 is the reason both matter — an instruction the
reader cannot run is not an instruction.

`bun test packages/cli/src/error-contract.test.ts` — 6 pass, 0 fail.

…gaps backlog

Ten issues, four slices, and three of them were worse than filed.

**#171 — a gated ISR route served one actor's HTML to the next.** The actor axis was already
closed (`modes.ts:134` refuses `render: 'isr'` with a `policy`); the **query** axis was live, and
proving it took two attempts. The first failing test *passed* — `dev-render.test.ts`'s helper built
a fresh `IsrController` per call, so no request could observe a cache hit and the test would have
passed against the leak and against the fix alike. Reusing one server produced the real thing: the
second visitor was served `?page=2`'s document for `?page=3`.

The obvious fix trades a leak for a wrong TTL. `descriptorFor` resolves against the route *table*,
and `/blog?page=2` matches no route pattern — so keying on the full URL would silently fall back to
`ttlMs: null` and turn a declared `revalidate: { ttl: '5m' }` into tag-only. Split instead:
`isrKey(url)` is the store key (path + sorted query), `routePathOf(key)` is what the route table is
asked. `isrKey` takes a **`URL`, not a `string`**, so the regression is a compile error — reverting
the caller to `url.pathname` gives TS2345.

**#168 — 400 published, 422 answered, on every malformed body.** One line: `action/src/http.ts` set
`meta.input`, handing the schema to the pipeline's body stage so `bodyInvalid` fired and the
action's own `validateInput` never ran. `@ultimat3/query` had already solved this and written down
why. The split is now honest — `X_INPUT_INVALID` (400) is "parsed, failed this action's schema", on
every surface; `X_BODY_INVALID` (422) is "the bytes never became a body", HTTP only.

**#213 — three casts, not one, and worse than filed.** `steps.ts:263` returns a memoized output only
when `status === 'completed'`; every other value **re-executes the step**. So a laundered status
turned "this step already ran" into a second `step.run('charge', …)`, in a file whose header
promises the welcome email is not sent twice. `isBackfillStatus` already existed with the doc
"Never a cast — the list decides", and one decoder two files over ignored it.

**#125 — the premise was stale and the real hole was next door.** `registerJobs` silently skipped
anything that was not a job handle, so `registerJobs({ publishPost: publishPost.job() })` registered
nothing, returned `[]`, and the job never ran with nothing failing anywhere.

**#145 — the seam was exactly one member wide.** `StorageDriver` had hoisted `signedUrlBase` so "the
minting half and the verifying half cannot state it twice"; the secret was the other half of that
pair and was never hoisted, which is why `acceptSignedUpload`'s required `secret:` had no value a
route could supply. `verifySigned` exposes **verification, never the key** — a member returning the
secret would let any driver-holder mint a URL for any key and would put it in every
`JSON.stringify(disk)` a log performs.

**#211, #212 — two port members deleted.** `CaptureOptions.timeoutMs` was honoured by no driver, and
a generic deadline would have to race `ScrapeClock.sleep`, which under `testClock` resolves on the
first microtask — so every capture in every test would have timed out. `ScrapeTarget.click`'s
`index` was unreachable from the public vocabulary entirely. A three-driver parity test now covers
the click, over a fixture the old CDP fake structurally could not express: it routes clicks by
selector, not by element, so no parity test written against it could ever have caught the drift.

**#154 — `expect.maxDrop` without `history:` was silently inert** and now refuses at declaration
time. `expect.minRows` is an absolute floor checked before the history gate and stays legal alone.

**#127 — the generators are formatter-clean today and nothing kept them so.** Formatting at runtime
costs 239ms per file — 5.7s for one `x g resource` — and puts a formatter inside `x g`, where a
biome version skew turns "write eight files" into a failure the author cannot act on. A build error
instead: one subprocess, once, where the defect is introduced. Its first version passed while biome
reported `checked: 0`, so it now asserts biome actually read the files.

**`adminResource` no longer pluralises.** Every entity in both apps is already named plural, so
`entity('orgs')` was served at `/admin/orgses`. Deleted rather than improved: which plural a name
takes is an app's convention, not a mechanism the framework can own.

**A test that passed for a wrong reason, corrected.** `examples/dummy`'s admin test asserted nav
hrefs and route paths are disjoint — but hrefs are base-relative and `layout.tsx:82` composes them,
so they are disjoint by construction and the assertion could never fail. Replaced with the
invariant that matters: every nav href must resolve to a real route *after* composition.

A cross-suite leak fixed on the way: `render-isr.test.ts` cleared the process-global route registry
only in `beforeEach`, so it left routes behind for whatever ran next. Invisible to the sharded gate.

BREAKING — an action route answers 400 `X_INPUT_INVALID` where it answered 422 for a body that
parses and fails the schema; `RouteMeta.input` is no longer set by `toRoute`; `CaptureRequest.timeout`,
`CaptureOptions.timeoutMs` and `ScrapeTarget.click`'s `index` are removed; `adminResource` serves
`/admin/orgs` where it served `/admin/orgses`; the seven `Backfill*Error` classes moved file
(re-exported unchanged).

3115 pass / 15 skip / 0 fail across the eight framework packages, 6 pass in the dummy admin suite.
boundaries 3987 files clean; the status table is closed at 309 codes.

`contract-diff` regressed in both tracked apps, and the regression is the point of the change: an
action route now publishes **both** `400 X_INPUT_INVALID` and `422 X_BODY_INVALID`, because they
name different failures — a body that parsed and failed the action's schema, and bytes that never
became a body at all.

The diff is purely additive: every action operation gains a `422` response referencing the shared
`Problem` schema. Nothing was removed, so a client generated from the old contract is still valid;
it simply did not know one of the two statuses it could receive.

`X_ERROR_CODE_UNDOCUMENTED` × 2 — `X_JOB_ROW_STATUS_UNKNOWN` and `X_ACTION_JOB_UNBRIDGED` were
declared and had no row, so both the `errors` step and `scripts/verify.test.ts` refused. Axiom 3
holding a code to the same standard as the code it guards.

Each row carries the half that is easy to miss:

- **`X_JOB_ROW_STATUS_UNKNOWN`** — the decoders used to `as`-cast the column, and `steps.ts:263`
  returns a step's memoized output only when the status reads `completed`. So a laundered value
  turned "this step already ran" into **run it again**. The row also records that only one
  direction can fire: a release that merely adds a status still knows every older one, so N+1
  reading N's rows is safe and N reading N+1's is the case that refuses.
- **`X_ACTION_JOB_UNBRIDGED`** — `.job()` returns a handle, not a job, because `action` and `jobs`
  are both tier 3 and neither may import the other. `registerJobs` used to skip it in silence
  alongside the helpers a module namespace carries, so the job never ran and nothing failed. The
  fix line names `agentJob()` as the working bridge rather than describing one.

Manifest regenerated: 30 packages, 477 error codes.
