Census 36597762183: both mode-routing runs logged provenance and moved on
without the mandated handoff chat; the EXPANSION run asked an unauthorized
batch/narrow pacing menu instead of the first per-addition question; the
expansion-energy proposals led with the spec because v1.87.6.0 dropped
'lead with the felt experience'. The HOLD review detector also rejected a
decision whose grounding line named no plan file although the owned source
Read binds it.
design-review-fix drives the Aside browser and registers test.skip on Linux
runners, so its case shard executed zero cases and failed the exact-one-case
check in proof census 36597762183 (eval-slices 6). CASE_CI_EXCLUDE (reason +
tracking, beside PERIODIC_CI_EXCLUDE) now turns such cases into excluded
manifest entries that --list and the manifest surface; every planned case
shard still must execute exactly its case.
ship-docsync ran the same fixture and prompt as ship-docsync-completion and
asserted a subset of it. The file now runs one case per process, so its lane
wall is its longest case instead of half the sum of thirteen.
- Planner budget mode (--slice-budget S --jobs J): recorded per-tier wall
times pack into as many ~9-minute executors as the work needs; the plan
records per-slice estimates and the CI job timeout (supervised worst case
+ 20 min). evals.yml and evals-periodic.yml derive matrix size and
timeout-minutes from it; max-parallel covers every slice at once.
- Case shards: plan/design/review-army/shared-libs(-paths) run one registered
case per process (<file>#<case id>, exact name pattern, exactly one case).
- Retry rule: a timed-out attempt is a verdict. Only files whose every case
budget is CAPTURE tier or shorter keep one retry; walls shrink to match.
- Marathon tier: positive selection, excluded from gate/periodic planners,
run by the new evals-marathon.yml (weekly + dispatch, fresh, own report).
- PR-lane E2E reuse of verified first-attempt passes on identical inputs;
the report rejects reuse outside the fast PR profile.
- Duration seed from census run 36385945043, per tier and per case shard.
sourceDependencyClosure moves from the workflow-judge adapter into
scripts/eval-input-cache.ts unchanged, so judge keys stay byte-identical.
scripts/e2e-shard-reuse.ts builds the consumed-input identity of one PR-lane
E2E shard (test import closure, every registered case's touchfiles, globals,
runner/workflow/setup actions, child env pins, CI image, Claude CLI) and fails
closed on anything unknown. Marathon joins the always-fresh purposes.
Both census read-ready attempts spent turns reading the helper source to
resolve <user-args>, inspecting fixture internals kept inside the repo,
and reconciling 'Read + Edit' with the tmp+mv atomic write, then hit
max turns before the verdict.
Both census builder-wildness attempts answered a direct request for
adjacent unlocks without reading phase-2b-builder-brainstorm.md, whose
trigger read as applying only to the generative questions.
The census review workflow judge scored clarity/actionability 3 on both
attempts: smoke-clock limits appeared to forbid post-repair revalidation,
the caller deadline was undefined, 'ask for setup' conflicted with the
report-only browser rule, fallback-sourced HIGH discrepancies had no gate
decision, and the Step 5.8 record omitted adversarial findings.
* test: delete test-infrastructure dead code (G)
- exit-propagation drives the runner's real strict verdict
(BunTestOutputClassifier + strictTestExitCode); delete the unused
shardRunLooksTruncated predicate.
- delete skill-coverage-matrix registry + its gate (nothing reads it; the
floor already iterates skillCensus()).
- delete touchfiles-facade export-parity tests (Bun fails missing imports
at link time) and the duplicated E2E_TIERS tier-value test.
- delete brain-cache-spec TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_POLICY, SKILL_RUN_RETENTION_DAYS
and the now-unused BrainTrustPolicy type with their literal tests.
AUTOPLAN_PREFLIGHT_BUDGET_BYTES stays: skill-preflight-budget enforces it
against real resolver output.
- delete audit-compliance's JSDoc-comment grep.
* test: replace product tests that fake the product with real-boundary tests (F)
- design: serve.test.ts drove an inline mirror server; now two tests run the
real serve() on an ephemeral port (reload confinement, submit exit 0).
- setup-gbrain: rollback + voyage tests execute the template-extracted init
blocks (3 sites) instead of drifted local bash copies.
- terminal-agent: internalHandler source greps replaced by a behavioral
/internal/grant + /internal/revoke auth matrix (no/wrong/valid token).
- /health: server-security-surface and the server-auth / security-audit-r2 /
sidebar-tabs source greps fold into one liveness-only check on the real
body; the L4 sidecar wiring gets a behavioral /pty-inject-scan test.
- delete tautologies (browser-manager onDisconnect, memory-command #12),
ios swiftui tap fixture self-check, memory-ingest put_page grep, detach
source greps, sidebar-agent absence pins, dead-CSS pins + the dead CSS,
security-audit-r2 Task 1 + the test-only meta-commands re-export,
duplicate generated-SKILL.md checks.
- make-pdf coverage-gaps cases move into their owner test files.
* test: delete tests of dead eval code (A)
- A1: the retired Eng lexical oracle (evaluateEngSeedCoverage,
isEngSeedDecisionAUQ), the completion-handoff detector and the retained
corpus had no paid caller since v1.87.6; delete their 26 replay files,
~2.6k helper LOC and fixtures, and the dead blocks in 8 mixed files
(live hasNativePlanTerminal / batching assertions stay).
- A2: dead viewport approvers in autoplan-artifact-permission and their 11
replay files + fixtures; recorder/launcher cases stay.
- A3: never-wired oracles and seeders (autoplan-phase-order,
eng-finding-fixture, ceo-paired-fixture, design-ui-scope,
plan-skill-completion, pty-current-screen, required-reads,
transcript-section-logger); plan-seed-submission now decodes through the
production createPtyScreen; section manifests name their actual guard.
- A4: zero-reference helper exports, plus execGit and invokeAndObserve
found by the reachability pass.
- 52 fixtures orphaned by the deletions; touchfile and selection-table
entries for every deleted path.
* test: clean up the paid eval lane (B1-B4, B6, B7)
- B1: delete paid files that assert nothing or cannot pass meaningfully:
skill-llm-eval-spec and skill-e2e-spec-execute (test.todo), gemini-e2e
(+ gemini-session-runner; no gemini CLI in CI), ship-idempotency (red
since v1.63), the two opus-4-7 *-sonnet overlay wrappers, conductor-prose
(+ its source-evaluation replay), codex-e2e-plan-format; drop their keys,
scripts and census rows.
- B2: skill-llm-eval grades browse/sections/command-list.md with one union
judge that also carries the baseline score pin; regression-vs-baseline
deleted (paid run: pass, c4/c4/a4).
- B3: memory-pipeline, ios-qa, ios-qa-swift-build and plan-tune-cathedral
make no model calls; renamed out of the paid glob so they run on every
PR. Swift builds need GSTACK_TEST_SWIFT=1; device stub deleted.
- B4: codex-e2e*, outside-voice, aside and ios-device cannot run in the CI
image; excluded from the weekly lane with a tracked re-entry condition.
- B6: fold opus-47's negative routing controls into skill-routing-e2e
journey-negatives (paid run: 3/3 unrouted) and delete the file.
- B7: delete the never-green brain-privacy-gate eval; a free
gstack-skill-start test now proves consent precedes artifacts egress.
* test: retire the finding-count cluster and trim its helpers (C)
- C0/C1: the five never-green evals (skill-e2e-autoplan-chain and
skill-e2e-plan-{ceo,eng,design,devex}-finding-count) failed on harness and
budget, never on skill behavior; delete them, their touchfile/tier ids,
AUTOPLAN_CHAIN_BUDGET and the dedicated eighth periodic slice (--slices 7).
- C2: delete the helper groups whose only paid consumers were those files
(11 modules), trim claude-pty-runner and eng-seeded-coverage to the paid
closure, and delete the free replay tests whose assertions exercised only
that dead code (89 files, 135 orphaned fixtures). Blocks that used dead code
only as input for a live subject keep their assertions: the multiSelect
default moved to plan-review-decisions, runner PTY tests use inline caller
policies, and the timer-safe budget checks moved to eng-finding-retry-budget.
- The eight production-touching files stay except ceo-current-decision-record
(its template read only feeds the retired counter).
- CARVE_GUARDS.autoplan is behavioral 'none'; TODOS records the lost chain
and per-finding cadence coverage with their re-entry tests.
* test: fold per-incident replay series into their detector owners (D)
Twelve detector families move into one owner test each: 73 incident files
become describe blocks in ceo-section-loading-fixture (stale-fill race),
model-overlays, coverage-audit-evidence, autoplan-phase-observer,
native-auto-decide, outside-voice-evidence, eng-first-review,
plan-count-completion, plan-count-file-permission, ceo-mode-option,
plan-scope-selection and plan-count-prerequisite. Each block keeps its original
code and fixture, so every case still runs; only tests asserting the incident
file's own touchfile registration are dropped (41). Touchfile lists that named
an incident now name its owner.
* test: start the plan-count history PTY on its readiness marker (H)
The fake CLI prints a startup marker and the runner waits for it instead of the
fixed 8 s startup sleep (8.6 s -> 0.9 s locally). eng-semantic-terminal's
sleeping registration cases went with C; plan-count-timeout keeps the fixed wait
because it asserts deadline behavior.
* test: derive paid touchfiles from each eval's static closure (E)
touchfiles.test.ts now checks, per key, that the paid file's static
test/helpers and test/fixtures closure (plus fixture paths it names in string
literals) is covered, and names the file, path, chain and key to fix when it is
not. Free *.test.ts files are no longer touchfiles, so editing a free replay
test stops selecting paid evals: 950 entries removed, 653 real closure paths
added. The hand-copied inventories go: periodic-fixture-selection,
fake-impeccable-touchfiles and 45 per-file selection examples. Selection for
the sample edits (plan-eng-review template, claude-pty-runner,
plan-count-fixture, gstack-config) loses no case under either profile.
CONTRIBUTING documents the rule and its lower bound.
* test: skip hollow tier shards and census judges in the paid planner (B5)
A paid file is now skipped for a tier lane only when every E2E id it registers
is known statically and none has that tier; ids come from the touchfile
registrations and literal testName/*IfSelected arguments, so a comment or
skill path that quotes another id cannot unschedule it, and computed names
keep today's scheduling. --list and the manifest show each skip as
"skipped: no E2E_TIERS id has tier <tier>". The weekly gate census drops the
LLM judges (--skip-judges); they still run in the periodic census and PR gate
lanes. Gate lane 52 -> 42 files, census 41; periodic 77 -> 69.
* test: run seven paid evals on the current default capture model (B8)
skill-e2e-{auq-matrix,plan-format,qa-bugs,retro,workflow} pinned
claude-opus-4-7 and skill-e2e-office-hours plus -brain-writeback pinned
claude-sonnet-4-6; none tests a historical model, so they now capture with
resolveEvalModel('capture'), and the free harness tests that execute these
registrations receive the same resolver. The paid re-pin run passed all of
them. skill-e2e-{design,office-hours-phase4,plan-prosons,plan} keep
claude-opus-4-7: six of their cases failed on the default model (three
timeouts, a missing report file, a format miss and a posture score of 3), so
per the plan's fallback they keep their pins with a TODOS entry. The pre-spend
estimate and drop threshold are in docs/test-audit-2026-09.md.
* test: guard the reduced suite against new test-of-test files
- test/test-of-test-ratchet.test.ts records the 228 free tests that import only
test/ code and fails on a new one, naming the owner test to extend instead;
a stale baseline entry fails with the remove instruction.
- test/helpers/resolve-repo-path.ts is the one specifier/literal resolver for
the ratchet and the touchfile closure invariant, with its own unit tests.
- CONTRIBUTING "Test tiers" describes the paid-failure workflow (fix, then one
row in the detector's owner test) and the ratchet; TEST_PORTFOLIO gains the
detector -> owner-test table and no longer claims an Autoplan chain eval.
- TODOS: automatic exclusion policy for chronically red periodic files (P3),
the deferred native-completion table collapse, the unused CEO payment
seeder; the PTY readiness item is narrowed to the paid runner.
- docs/test-audit-2026-09.md collects the triage, security mapping, inventories,
selection proof, behavior-commit decisions and retained false positives.
* v1.91.8.0 test: smaller suite, derived paid selection, retired never-green evals
Release metadata for the test-reduction branch: VERSION 1.91.8.0 (1.91.7.0 is
claimed by #2983), CHANGELOG with the measured before/after table and a
contributor section, durations re-recorded on Ubicloud standard-16 (857 files,
0 failures), the agents digest, CONTRIBUTING's after-measurement row, the B8
fallback TODOS entry, and the after metrics, kept-vs-plan notes, B8 run and
census estimate in docs/test-audit-2026-09.md.
* fix(ubicloud): skip retrieval globs that match nothing instead of reporting a failed pull
* test: count issue-numbered Design findings in the UI-scope gate eval
The discovered paid-file census grows by one (skill-e2e-office-hours-design-draft).
Full-fallback PR selection defers every non-gate id; the shared-input pins now
expect periodic and marathon ids there.
Routing setup and cross-project learnings (D1/D2 in run 36385945043) are
never counted and are not what the case measures. The registration now uses
the runner's existing preconfiguredReviewActor so the attempt starts at the
review; engSetupAUQ still vetoes any late setup question. The registration
test pins the option.
The split actor always answered 0E's mode question with HOLD SCOPE. The
skill skips that question on an explicit choice, so the fixture now states
it and the attempt starts at the five candidate decisions (about 1.5 min
earlier in run 36385945043). Candidates, actor policy, floor and semantic
evaluation are unchanged; the fixture test pins the supplied choice.
The full startup workflow runs 1–3 real spec-review rounds (~280s each) and
hit its 1200s capture in run 36385945043 at finalize. Review depth is the
product's loop, so the case cannot fit a blocking lane without cutting
rounds. It is now marathon tier with every assertion unchanged.
skill-e2e-office-hours-design-draft.test.ts (periodic) runs the same fixed
interview only through the Write that creates the design (269s in that run)
and applies the full validator's design-draft checks, the required section
reads and the launch/foreign-skill-read guards. validateOfficeHoursDesignDraft
is extracted from validateOfficeHoursCompletion, which still applies it.
Selection: office-hours-design-draft is registered periodic; the marathon-only
file is already excluded from the gate and periodic plans by the B5 planner
rule. Tier-alignment regexes and the valid-tier check accept 'marathon'.
A type-only cast in plan-scope-selection.test.ts removes a diagnostic whose
union print order made the ratchet identity unstable; baseline tightened.
Full start-to-finish flows move out of the blocking lanes. E2E_TIERS and
E2ETier gain 'marathon'; describeE2ETier('marathon') is enabled only when
EVALS_TIER=marathon, so the gate/PR and periodic lanes (and the gate census)
never run those cases. The PR profile accepts marathon ids as scheduled
elsewhere and defers them with their own reason, even on full fallback.
The case's only verdict is reviewCount >= FLOOR (3). Run 36385945043 had
three distinct acknowledged review decisions at 6m41s but kept answering
until the ceiling (7) at 12m13s. The registration now passes the runner's
existing isCollectionComplete stop once FLOOR non-setup, non-administrative
review decisions are acknowledged; the floor check, ceiling, budget and
counter are unchanged. A child-process registration test proves the stop
predicate and that below-floor and timeout outcomes still fail.
Run 36385945043's split-overflow case asked all five candidate decisions by
8m55s, but the live candidate check required the question to open with
"E1:" and every option to be a known disposition. The skill cited ledger
row IDs ("D2.1 — R-E1: …") and offered "Hold, discuss first", so no
candidate was recognized and the attempt ran the whole review (1302s).
Identity now comes from the native header; the question must open with that
candidate's ledger reference, name only that candidate, and offer exactly one
include, defer and cut disposition. The selected answer must still be one of
those three. The semantic evaluator and every existing negative control are
unchanged; a trimmed capture from the run adds the positive case and four
row-ID negative controls.
#2994 deletes the plan-*-finding-count evals, ceo-payment-findings.ts and
design-count-review.ts. Drop the CEO throw diagnostics and Design boundary
work with them, and drop the structured completion predicate, stopReason,
review-log binding and plan/review-log evidence copy: no surviving
runPlanSkillCounting caller passes expectedPlanPath, so they would be dead
code. Keep idleFor in timeout summaries (every counting caller can time
out), asserted in the existing timeout test. W7 and W8 are unchanged.
Replaying run 36385945043's FAN-1 and ERR-1 throws (ledger rows
reconstructed from rendered diffs) through ceoPaymentFinding: the email
obligation's row, subject, option and proposal predicates pass and the
ELI10 explanation-defect predicate fails first ('lets that exception fly
out', 'the error bubbles up').
Binding the defect to the named ledger row instead (the planned fix) was
tried and reverted: scoped to the email seed it flips 30+ existing cf74
still-rejects replays, which require a vocabulary-free, ledger-bound email
question to earn credit only through a complete saved comparison. With
FAN-1's rendered currentDecision payload reconstructed, the recorded-
decision path counts it, so the real saved plan (not uploaded) must have
differed; failure artifacts now retain it.
The classifier stays fail-closed and unchanged. Its throw now prints the
header, the first 200 question characters and each obligation's predicate
results. Free regressions with provenance and negative controls: an
unrelated question, an email question whose row says it is already
rescued, and a ledger ID whose row belongs to another seed.
Replaying run 36385945043 through the Design count predicates: routing,
focus and learnings setup was not recognized as setup, Issue 1 was counted
pre-review in both attempts (the boundary fired on it), and attempt 2
counted the Font TODO proposal as a finding (review=4 and review=5 for five
issues). The paid caller now starts review at the first answered native
decision that is not setup (recognized packet, or setup header/question ID),
a completion handoff, artifact rendering or a TODO proposal (the review's
Add to TODOS.md / Skip / Build it now menu). TODO proposals are recorded as
administrative extra decisions. The replay asserts each counted call: both
attempts review=5 (Issues 1-5). isDesignCountFirstReview and its controls
are unchanged.
Replaying run 36385945043's two Design attempts showed the existing routes
rejected correct endings: attempt 1 at the typed-completion path field
('- Reviewed plan written to …' is not a 'Plan written to' line), attempt 2
at the leading-fence veto (its final message opens with the dashboard).
nativePlanTerminalPreconditions is the structural prefix of
hasNativePlanTerminal (behavior unchanged). structuredPlanCompletion adds,
inside the existing nativeSummary branch: a complete report (Design
binding for Design), a completed review-log row for the expected skill
appended during this attempt under the child's GSTACK_HOME/project slug
(resolved with bin/gstack-slug) and stamped with the fixture commit, timed
between the report/last answer (second resolution) and the final native
message, a final message with stop_reason end_turn (now carried on public
transcript messages), and no visible question or permission prompt.
Timeout summaries add idleFor and lastTerminalCandidate. Terminal and throw
captures copy the plan file and review-log rows into the artifact
directory; copies are best-effort and recorded in evidence-copy.json.
Free regressions: both captured Design endings (trimmed fixture with
provenance; report, row and end_turn reconstructed and labelled), the
negative controls, and real-PTY completion/timeout runs through the real
review logger.
computePaidCaseSelection read the version-only exemption from git even when
changed files were injected, so the shared-input test failed on main and on
version-only branches. The exemption is now an optional input; the test pins
a real package.json change and covers the version-only case.
Adds tsconfig.json (strict) over product code, fixes its remaining 90
diagnostics (type-only, interface corrections, and explicit narrowing),
and adds a typecheck job to the required free-tests aggregate running
bun run typecheck, the test-code ratchet (identity -> count baseline, fails
on new, repeated, or unlocked fixed diagnostics), and the lib/cso format
check. Reuses fixes from #2447 where they still applied.
The shared-libs shim served 2 PRs for pulls?state=all and endless full pages
for state=open. gh pr list, pulls?state=open|all|closed (per_page/page,
short last page, direction) and search/issues now page one deterministic
table: PR 7, 600 older open PRs, PR 42 and 3 closed PRs, so five 100-item
open-metadata pages still leave older open PRs unchecked. The Contents API
lists pinned directories (the captured attempt got 404 for contents/ and
contents/src while files resolved, then fell back to a raw host), unknown
endpoints return 404 instead of repo metadata, and the read-only detector
is unchanged. Free tests cover view agreement, the budget bound, gh/curl
agreement and the empty world.
Dual-voice outside-voice failures now report probeToolUseId, probeMode and
the canonical-match result with the reason the probe output was rejected.
The supervisor respawned with a block-scoped env that no longer existed, so
every attempt threw and the loop gave up after five tries. The headed env is
now one pure helper used by connect and respawn, the loop is an injectable
runHeadedSupervisor with behavioral tests, failures name the daemon log and
relaunch command, and connect's usage advertises --supervise.
Compiled installs always take the non-Bun branch, which called an unimported
join and threw before any runtime-tested assertion could be witnessed. The
child command selection is now a pure, platform-aware function; a missing
sibling launcher fails with its expected path.
Mechanical reformat only. Minified transpile output is byte-identical for
21 of 22 files; witness.ts differs only in three regex flag orders
(/mi -> /im), which JavaScript canonicalizes. Source-text assertions over
lib/cso now compare whitespace-insensitively with the same tokens.
Both EVALS_HERMETIC branches of buildHermeticEnv now carry
DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1 (the allowlist scrubbed the workflow's copy, so every
PTY screen showed the updater's npm-prefix failure). Per-test overrides
still win. The corrupt durations-seed test now captures its expected
warning and restores the console spy.
Keep both intents: v1.91.7.0's functional QA, docsync and exploratory
paid cases and their free owners stay; this branch's deletions stay
deleted. main's new paid keys follow the derived-closure touchfile rule
(free *.test.ts paths dropped, static helper/fixture closure added), its
new helper-only tests join the ratchet baseline, and its free selection
examples that named free test files now assert the derived selection.
Periodic CI keeps seven slices without the retired Autoplan slice; the
gate census keeps seven single-worker slices with --skip-judges. Wall
and census literals are recomputed from the merged planner, durations
are re-recorded on Ubicloud, and VERSION stays 1.91.8.0 above 1.91.7.0.
Release metadata for the test-reduction branch: VERSION 1.91.8.0 (1.91.7.0 is
claimed by #2983), CHANGELOG with the measured before/after table and a
contributor section, durations re-recorded on Ubicloud standard-16 (857 files,
0 failures), the agents digest, CONTRIBUTING's after-measurement row, the B8
fallback TODOS entry, and the after metrics, kept-vs-plan notes, B8 run and
census estimate in docs/test-audit-2026-09.md.
- test/test-of-test-ratchet.test.ts records the 228 free tests that import only
test/ code and fails on a new one, naming the owner test to extend instead;
a stale baseline entry fails with the remove instruction.
- test/helpers/resolve-repo-path.ts is the one specifier/literal resolver for
the ratchet and the touchfile closure invariant, with its own unit tests.
- CONTRIBUTING "Test tiers" describes the paid-failure workflow (fix, then one
row in the detector's owner test) and the ratchet; TEST_PORTFOLIO gains the
detector -> owner-test table and no longer claims an Autoplan chain eval.
- TODOS: automatic exclusion policy for chronically red periodic files (P3),
the deferred native-completion table collapse, the unused CEO payment
seeder; the PTY readiness item is narrowed to the paid runner.
- docs/test-audit-2026-09.md collects the triage, security mapping, inventories,
selection proof, behavior-commit decisions and retained false positives.
skill-e2e-{auq-matrix,plan-format,qa-bugs,retro,workflow} pinned
claude-opus-4-7 and skill-e2e-office-hours plus -brain-writeback pinned
claude-sonnet-4-6; none tests a historical model, so they now capture with
resolveEvalModel('capture'), and the free harness tests that execute these
registrations receive the same resolver. The paid re-pin run passed all of
them. skill-e2e-{design,office-hours-phase4,plan-prosons,plan} keep
claude-opus-4-7: six of their cases failed on the default model (three
timeouts, a missing report file, a format miss and a posture score of 3), so
per the plan's fallback they keep their pins with a TODOS entry. The pre-spend
estimate and drop threshold are in docs/test-audit-2026-09.md.
A paid file is now skipped for a tier lane only when every E2E id it registers
is known statically and none has that tier; ids come from the touchfile
registrations and literal testName/*IfSelected arguments, so a comment or
skill path that quotes another id cannot unschedule it, and computed names
keep today's scheduling. --list and the manifest show each skip as
"skipped: no E2E_TIERS id has tier <tier>". The weekly gate census drops the
LLM judges (--skip-judges); they still run in the periodic census and PR gate
lanes. Gate lane 52 -> 42 files, census 41; periodic 77 -> 69.
touchfiles.test.ts now checks, per key, that the paid file's static
test/helpers and test/fixtures closure (plus fixture paths it names in string
literals) is covered, and names the file, path, chain and key to fix when it is
not. Free *.test.ts files are no longer touchfiles, so editing a free replay
test stops selecting paid evals: 950 entries removed, 653 real closure paths
added. The hand-copied inventories go: periodic-fixture-selection,
fake-impeccable-touchfiles and 45 per-file selection examples. Selection for
the sample edits (plan-eng-review template, claude-pty-runner,
plan-count-fixture, gstack-config) loses no case under either profile.
CONTRIBUTING documents the rule and its lower bound.
The fake CLI prints a startup marker and the runner waits for it instead of the
fixed 8 s startup sleep (8.6 s -> 0.9 s locally). eng-semantic-terminal's
sleeping registration cases went with C; plan-count-timeout keeps the fixed wait
because it asserts deadline behavior.
Twelve detector families move into one owner test each: 73 incident files
become describe blocks in ceo-section-loading-fixture (stale-fill race),
model-overlays, coverage-audit-evidence, autoplan-phase-observer,
native-auto-decide, outside-voice-evidence, eng-first-review,
plan-count-completion, plan-count-file-permission, ceo-mode-option,
plan-scope-selection and plan-count-prerequisite. Each block keeps its original
code and fixture, so every case still runs; only tests asserting the incident
file's own touchfile registration are dropped (41). Touchfile lists that named
an incident now name its owner.
- C0/C1: the five never-green evals (skill-e2e-autoplan-chain and
skill-e2e-plan-{ceo,eng,design,devex}-finding-count) failed on harness and
budget, never on skill behavior; delete them, their touchfile/tier ids,
AUTOPLAN_CHAIN_BUDGET and the dedicated eighth periodic slice (--slices 7).
- C2: delete the helper groups whose only paid consumers were those files
(11 modules), trim claude-pty-runner and eng-seeded-coverage to the paid
closure, and delete the free replay tests whose assertions exercised only
that dead code (89 files, 135 orphaned fixtures). Blocks that used dead code
only as input for a live subject keep their assertions: the multiSelect
default moved to plan-review-decisions, runner PTY tests use inline caller
policies, and the timer-safe budget checks moved to eng-finding-retry-budget.
- The eight production-touching files stay except ceo-current-decision-record
(its template read only feeds the retired counter).
- CARVE_GUARDS.autoplan is behavioral 'none'; TODOS records the lost chain
and per-finding cadence coverage with their re-entry tests.
- B1: delete paid files that assert nothing or cannot pass meaningfully:
skill-llm-eval-spec and skill-e2e-spec-execute (test.todo), gemini-e2e
(+ gemini-session-runner; no gemini CLI in CI), ship-idempotency (red
since v1.63), the two opus-4-7 *-sonnet overlay wrappers, conductor-prose
(+ its source-evaluation replay), codex-e2e-plan-format; drop their keys,
scripts and census rows.
- B2: skill-llm-eval grades browse/sections/command-list.md with one union
judge that also carries the baseline score pin; regression-vs-baseline
deleted (paid run: pass, c4/c4/a4).
- B3: memory-pipeline, ios-qa, ios-qa-swift-build and plan-tune-cathedral
make no model calls; renamed out of the paid glob so they run on every
PR. Swift builds need GSTACK_TEST_SWIFT=1; device stub deleted.
- B4: codex-e2e*, outside-voice, aside and ios-device cannot run in the CI
image; excluded from the weekly lane with a tracked re-entry condition.
- B6: fold opus-47's negative routing controls into skill-routing-e2e
journey-negatives (paid run: 3/3 unrouted) and delete the file.
- B7: delete the never-green brain-privacy-gate eval; a free
gstack-skill-start test now proves consent precedes artifacts egress.
