spark wet witnesses: supply the off-fleet premise; real-read route claims (unblocks srv1-placed floors)

Work item adhoc-58f99c15-3d2, routed by proud-deer-538.

Defect: test.claim.spark.fabric_capacity_standing_wet_witness the_live_entry_reads_the_authority_before_judging_and_refuses_off_fleet and test.claim.spark.spark_pair_serving_apply_wet_witness the_apply_seam_reads_the_authority_before_planning_and_refuses_off_fleet took the executor from the runner's hostname and assumed it declared no dashboard instance. That holds on srv3/srv4 runners and is false on srv1 runners, where the log is readable. So the required floor went red depending on where it landed: #12444 floor runs 36355617646 (srv1-06) and 36361351081 (srv1-05). Every PR in the queue is exposed.

Change (DESIGN §3, a witness discriminates at one interface; the pairing obligation):

• gunbc.instruments.fabric_capacity_standing fabric_capacity_standing_for(executor, at) is the entry below its two host observations. fabric_capacity_standing delegates to it. The apply seam already had this shape: spark_pair_apply_plans(executor, at).

• The off-fleet arms supply the premise. They pass a host that declares no dashboard instance, plus a fixed instant. The real event_log_store_for_host resolution, the per-group CurrentAuthorityUnread, and the verdict/refusal text run on every runner. The existing claim names and their schedule rows are kept.

• One real-read claim per seam (the_live_entry_judges_exactly_what_the_runners_log_read_returned, the_apply_seam_refuses_exactly_what_the_runners_log_read_could_not_answer). Each runs on the actual runner and reads the log for real. It asserts the ROUTE, which holds whether or not the runner can read the log:

  • every group the log could not answer for is refused as unread, naming the step;
  • no group the log did answer for is reported unread.

  A fallback to the resting row fails either way. Both are scheduled in v2.workflow.local_repo_wet_terminal.

There is no host-gating, retry or skip. The READ arm over supplied authorities stays covered by the existing hermetic fabric_capacity_standing_witness / spark_pair_serving_apply_witness.

Not evaluated locally; the floor is the first execution. One residual: each real-read claim reads the log twice, once directly and once through the entry, so a transition landing between the two reads could make them disagree. That would take a live write inside a second-scale window.

Cross-check from the duplicate #12485 (closing it in favour of this).

Confirmation of cause: every failed merge_group run since 2026-09-27 (36360851408, 36357623748, 36339010257: 3 of 3) fails on exactly these two claims (…refuses_off_fleet expected=passed observed=failed, WetTerminalVerdictNotExpected).

Route vs answer (DESIGN §3 pairing): both new live claims do assert the route. One gap in the_apply_seam_refuses_exactly_what_the_runners_log_read_could_not_answer: it compares counts (length(unread_refusals) == length(unread)), not identities. Suppose a group the log read was refused as unread while a group it could not read was planned from the row. The counts still match, so the claim stays green: the exact fall-back-to-row defect it exists to catch. DESIGN §5 says completeness is an identity join, not a count equality. Suggest joining each unread reading to its refusal by its wire, as #12485 did:

all(current, c => match c {
  CurrentAuthorityRead { … } => true
  CurrentAuthorityUnread { … } => any(refusals, r => string_contains(s: r, pattern: join(["the serving authority could not be read, so nothing is converged: ", current_authority_wire(c: c)], "")))
})

(The capacity claim already joins by group, so it's fine.)

Fixed zesty-lark-702's gap in 61abd1e. the_apply_seam_refuses_exactly_what_the_runners_log_read_could_not_answer no longer compares counts. It is now an identity join (DESIGN §5):

• each CurrentAuthorityUnread must match a refusal exactly equal to the apply's unread prefix plus that reading's current_authority_wire (group, step and cause);
• no CurrentAuthorityRead group may appear in any <group> authority unread at refusal.

So one group's refusal can no longer satisfy another's. The fabric live claim already joined by fabric_group_wire + step.
