+// tests/grader_no_artifact.mjs — the second grade species: a grade over the CLAIM
+// on an --allow-empty ship (task 1004011, ADR 0320).
+//
+// WHY these cases and not others. The species is defined by three properties that
+// nothing else in the grade path enforces, and each of them fails SILENTLY:
+//
+//   1. The prompt must not invite "no diff" as the finding. If it renders an empty
+//      changed-files list, the model reads absence as the defect and every honest
+//      no-artifact close fails for the one reason it exists to justify.
+//   2. The species must stay distinguishable AFTER the server has stored it. The
+//      server hardcodes task_grades.grader_kind, so a marker put only there is lost
+//      and /grade-audit silently averages prose grades in with diff grades.
+//   3. The no-artifact path must not carry a diff hash. A hash of the empty diff is
+//      the same for every empty-diff ship of a task, so the reuse lookup would hand
+//      the NEXT claim a pass the FIRST claim earned.
+//
+// The grade itself spawns a model, so nothing here runs one: the prompt builder and
+// the routing are pure, and they are where all three properties live.
