+3. Why does existing coverage not already catch that? Prefer adding a row to an existing table-driven test or shared fixture over a near-duplicate.
+4. Does it need a production seam (export, flag, wrapper, injection hook) that no production caller needs? If yes, test at the real boundary instead.
+
+Value card: `Value: protects=<...>; fails_when=<...>; why_new=<...>; seam=none` (seam: `none` or its name); each field at most 160 UTF-8 bytes here (clamp to 157 plus `...`; JSON keeps full values). Put it in the 8e.5 record (/qa) or under each proposed test (/qa-only). A missing upstream card never blocks: derive it; ignore unknown fields.

+Example: Value: protects=refundPayment rejects an empty reason; fails_when=the reason guard is removed or inverted; why_new=billing.test.ts covers processPayment only; seam=none
+Rejected (covered_elsewhere): "checkout renders"; checkout.e2e.ts:15 covers it, so extend that test.
