+# (#290). Proves the issue's "GitHub impl round-trips claim -> status -> supersede -> release
+# against a fixture repo" acceptance line per Design Decision 1's fixture-JSON posture: every
+# input here is a static JSON fixture (shaped like `gh issue view --json
+# assignees,labels,comments` output), and every `render-*` subcommand is a pure function. NO
+# live or mocked `gh` process is invoked anywhere in this script (AC9) — `grep -n "gh " ...`
+# below is the eval's own self-check for that property, and only ever matches inside rendered
+# JSON string literals, never a shell process invocation.
+#
+# Fenced claim-record JSON validation choice (plan Unresolved Question 4): this eval validates
+# the fenced JSON via INLINE FIELD ASSERTIONS against the versioned schema fields (schema_version,
+# role, subject_id, actor, claimed_at, ttl_seconds, branch, artifact_dir, status), not a
+# standalone JSON Schema file — a full schema for one already-typed nested object was judged
+# unnecessary; the same shape is already covered structurally by
+# schemas/assignment-provider-settings.schema.json's sibling settings schema and by the
+# claim-record type in src/cli/assignment-provider.ts.
+#
+# Supports AC3 (render-claim emits a versioned claim-comment), AC4 (status parses
+# assignee/label/claim-comment fixture input and computes the join), AC9 (no live gh process),
+# AC11 (human_assignee_policy: human-held regardless of idle duration).
