test(diagnostics): salvage #43's pytest coverage, with both CodeRabbit findings fixed - #70

Conversation
…ointer Rebuilt on current main (PR #43's branch was CONFLICTING and #46/#60 have since reshaped both files). #43 and #46 built the entrypoint-absence diagnostic independently and in parallel; #46 merged first, so this lifts the three things #43 had that #46 lacked rather than losing them with the closed PR. 1. `test_an_absent_entrypoint_diagnoses_itself_differently_from_a_real_defect` — #46 put the equivalent checks in `capability_activation_audit --selftest`, and a selftest is NOT guarded by `.verify-floor.json`. Only a COLLECTED test is, so this is the half that makes the behaviour hold. 2. `test_the_capability_gates_all_consult_the_entrypoint_diagnosis` — the sharper idea, with no equivalent in #46 at all: nothing else notices if one of the three gates quietly stops calling the helper and reverts to a bare capability id. It matches the CALL, not the bare name, because all three files also MENTION the helper in a comment — a name-only grep would keep passing after someone deleted the call and left the comment behind. 3. The `git fetch --all && git log --all --oneline -- <module>` pointer, WITH its caveat. `git log --all` is the natural next probe and on 2026-08-22 it came back empty for a module that existed, because the branch holding it had never been fetched into that checkout. An empty result there means "not fetched", never "does not exist", so the command and its precondition travel together or the pointer reproduces the misreading it exists to prevent. Also adds `absent_entrypoint_report(..., ledger=)` / `absent_entrypoint_note(..., ledger=)` so both tests inject their rows instead of reading the running instance's ledger. That is why neither test skips anywhere: the interesting case is one row present and one absent, and no real ledger is reliably both. A machine-independent test is the preferred way to grow this suite — see the 24 -> 26 -> 24 ceiling episode in `.verify-floor.json`. FLOOR 402 -> 404, measured on the merge result, and it must be exact now that #56 made `collected` an EQUALITY. No ceiling moved and nothing new is skipped. Deliberate break -> revert, each caught then reverted byte-identically: * stripped one gate's call to the helper while leaving the comment behind — the drift guard fired and named the file; * dropped the fetch-first caveat from the pointer — the pointer assertion fired.

…uous guard Both from the review on PR #51, both real, and the second is embarrassing in a useful way. 1. THE FETCH COMMAND OMITTED THE MODULES THAT MATTERED MOST. The module list behind `git log --all` was `{sibling hits} or {missing candidates}`. `or` short-circuits, so as soon as ONE absent row was found in a sibling checkout, the candidates of every row found NOWHERE were dropped — and those are precisely the rows the pointer exists for, because a module in no sibling checkout is the one most likely to sit on an unfetched remote branch. The command said "to check every branch" while silently omitting the hardest cases. Now a union, with the truncation counted rather than silent (`+N more module(s) not shown`), because a cap that hides modules would put the same lie back in a smaller place. 2. THE DRIFT GUARD WAS VACUOUS FOR ITS OWN FILE. It searched each whole FILE for the substring `audit.absent_entrypoint_note(` — which appears SIX times in `test_capability_set_coverage.py` alone: in the docstring, in sibling tests, and inside the assertion itself. So deleting the real call from the recurrence-fixture gate left the guard passing. A guard written specifically to catch a check that cannot fail, that itself could not fail. That is this repo's founding defect wearing the uniform of its own countermeasure. It now walks the AST of ONE NAMED FUNCTION per file, from an explicit `GATE_CALL_SITES` mapping. A string literal or a comment cannot satisfy an AST call match at all, and a RENAMED gate asserts rather than passing quietly — "some call somewhere in the file" was the whole weakness. Deliberate break -> revert, each caught then reverted byte-identically: * union -> `or`: the new regression test failed naming the exact omission (`b_lane.py` absent from the command while `a_lane.py` was present); * deleted the real call from this file's gate, leaving all six literals in place: the AST guard failed where the substring version had passed — the specific hole CodeRabbit found; * renamed a gate function: caught, with a message saying to update `GATE_CALL_SITES` deliberately. FLOOR 404 -> 405: one new test, `test_the_fetch_command_names_every_absent_module_not_just_the_found_ones`. It needs BOTH kinds of absent row present at once, which is why it is its own test rather than more assertions on an existing one — with only one kind, `or` and `|` are indistinguishable. It injects its ledger rows, so it skips nowhere. No ceiling moved. Verified with `python3 verify.py`: 405 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 84/84 selftests, 43/43 can-fire, 5/5 gates. `ruff check .` and `black --check --line-length 100` both clean.

) #43 -> #51 -> #70 is a salvage chain and #70 MERGED, so both predecessors read as "closed, work already landed". Checked file-by-file rather than trusting that: #70 carried `capability_activation_audit.py`, `test_capability_set_coverage.py` and `.verify-floor.json`, and `absent_entrypoint_note` / `entrypoint_presence` are on main in four files. Two pieces were NOT carried, and both are the kind of thing that reads as landed because its neighbours did. 1. #51's exp_id_template assertions (`exploration_backfill.py`). Main has `exp_id_template` in PRODUCTION code at two sites — built as `f"backfill-{_exp_id_slug(target)}"` and consumed as `f"{job.get('exp_id_template')}-{int(time.time())}"` — and ZERO selftest assertions pinning either. So the derivation `o/r#1` -> `backfill-o-r-1` and the link between the planned template and the DISPATCHED exp_id were both unasserted: a change to the slugging would silently rename every backfill experiment and surface much later as unjoinable experiment artifacts. Both halves are asserted, deliberately, because pinning the template alone would leave the two free to drift apart — the same shape as a gate whose measuring window differs from its draining window. 2. #43's FETCH-FIRST pointer (`CLAUDE.md`). #51's own title advertised it ("salvage PR #43's pytest coverage and fetch-first pointer") and #70 dropped `CLAUDE.md` entirely; main has no occurrence of "fetch" in that file. The trap is specific and cost a full session on 2026-08-22: `--all` searches the refs this checkout HAS, so `git log --all --oneline -- <file>` over an UNFETCHED sibling branch returns empty and reads as "no such file was ever committed anywhere". That false negative is what produced the wrong verdict the surrounding bullet exists to prevent, so the bullet was documenting the conclusion while omitting the step that got it wrong. DELIBERATE-BREAK -> REVERT, both reverted clean: * slug prefix `backfill-` -> `bf-`: assertion 1 fires, reporting `exp_id_template: 'bf-o-r-1'`. * dispatched id stops deriving from the template (`f"detached-{int(time.time())}"`): assertion 2 fires, reporting `exp_id: 'detached-1787524963'`. Assertion 1 still PASSES under this break, which is why both are needed rather than either alone. Verified with `python3 verify.py`: 427 passed, 0 failed, 0/26 skipped, 84/84 selftests, 43/43 can-fire, 5/5 gates. Floor untouched — both assertions live inside an existing `--selftest`, so nothing new is collected. ruff + black -l 100 clean.

Automated Status Summary
Scope
The capability ledger is shared machine-local state; code is branch-isolated. So any branch
that registers a capability turns every SIBLING branch's
verify.pyred on three gates, witha message that named only the capability id:
That is indistinguishable from the defect those gates exist to catch — a row registered with no
implementation at all — and on 2026-08-22 the ambiguity cost a full misdiagnosed session. The
proposed remedies for a LIVE capability were to retire its ledger row or mask it with a WAIVER;
the module was on an unmerged branch the whole time, carrying a hard dependency on a
capabilities.unblock()guard from that branch's parent, so the waiver would have hidden alatched-gate bug. The misdiagnosis rested on
git log --allreturning nothing for a branchwhose ref had never been fetched, and emptiness being read as proof.
DEDUP FINDING (CLAUDE.md §0), recorded before writing code. The DETECTION already existed here:
_entrypoint_files, theentrypoint_missing/entrypoint_externaldefect classes, andheartbeat_reachable'sno_local_entrypoint. Verified live — the audit already reportedevidence-acquisition -> ['entrypoint_missing']. What was absent was any route from that factinto the three failure messages, and any statement of the branch-isolation cause anywhere in the
tree (
grep -rn 'unmerged|git log --all|sibling branch|branch-isolat'over .py/.md: zerohits). So this WIRES and extends the existing detector; it does not add a second resolver, and
it is not a new capability — it is test diagnostics inside
capability-activation-audit, with nodispatch path, no outcome and no ledger row, exactly as
