+/**
+ * harness.js — automated end-to-end validation of Occasio's governance
+ * claims against a REAL Claude Code session.
+ *
+ * Spawns `occasio claude --print "<prompt>"` against a scratch workspace
+ * with a scratch policy.yml and a scratch audit-chain file, then asserts
+ * the resulting audit chain shape matches the scenario's expectations.
+ *
+ * Three v1 scenarios:
+ *   deny-read           — direct path denial
+ *   deny-shell-bypass   — shell-mediated read attempt (regression of the
+ *                         critical bypass closed in v0.7.1)
+ *   budget-distill      — per-tool context-budget clip end-to-end
+ *
+ * Requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in the environment. Each scenario costs roughly
+ * $0.10–$0.40 of model time; the harness caps the child with --max-turns 6
+ * and a 60s timeout.
+ *
+ * Tests cover the orchestration and assertions; the actual subprocess spawn
+ * is exercised manually by the user. spawn() is injected via `opts.spawnFn`
+ * to keep unit tests fast and deterministic.
