 # `@openwop/openwop-conformance` Changelog
 
+## [2.44.9] — 2026-09-29 — a floor gated on a withheld fixture records `blocked`, not nothing
+
+- **Nine v1 floor files no longer skip at describe level** (#1686). Each of the following gated every test with `describe.skipIf(!isFixtureAdvertised(…))`: `eventOrdering`, `failure-path`, `idempotency`, `interrupt-clarification`, `replay-fork`, `runs-lifecycle`, `stream-modes`, `stream-modes-buffer` and `stream-modes-mixed`. When every test in a file is describe-skipped, vitest runs none of `setup.ts`'s hooks for it, so the file's floor requirement got no ledger row. `--certify` then counted the floor unclassified and rejected the whole certification, not just the profile. `byok-roundtrip` hit this on openwop-app's 2026-09-28 major-1 cut (`certified: none`) and was fixed in #1708. Each test in the nine files now opens with `if (SKIP) return softSkip('blocked', NO_FIXTURE_REASON)`, so a withheld fixture records `blocked` with the fixture named. That denies only the affected profile. It is `blocked`, not `inapplicable`: the host advertises the capability the floor witnesses, so the requirement applies to the captured discovery, and a withheld fixture is exactly RFC 0148 §A's `blocked` ("a required seam, fixture … was unavailable"). `byok-roundtrip`'s `blocked` (#1708) stands for the same reason. Measured against a stub host that advertises no fixtures, with the ledger on: before, `runs-lifecycle` wrote no ledger row; after, `openwop.floor.runs-lifecycle` is `blocked` with the reason. A test that passed before still passes: the gates are unchanged, only where they sit.
+- **New self-test, `describe-level-skip.test.ts`** (server-free, `test:self`). It fails when a v1 floor file (`PROFILE_FLOOR_SCENARIOS`, `required` plus every `conditional` branch) can skip every test at describe level. A gate on having no target (`!process.env.OPENWOP_BASE_URL`) is exempt, since with no host there is no bundle. A ratchet also holds the 56 non-floor files with the same shape at a ceiling of 56. Those rows resolve to a report-derived `blocked` that names no reason; that is the right disposition, and they certify nothing either way. Sabotage: reverting `runs-lifecycle` to its describe-level gate fails the floor rule, and adding a new all-gated file fails the ratchet.
+
 ## [2.44.8] — 2026-09-29 — every subscribed event of a run is delivered
 
 - **`0173.webhook-delivery-complete`: every matching event reaches a healthy receiver at least once** (#1781). A new leg in `v2-webhook-durable-delivery` (target major 2, gated on `webhooks` and `conformance-noop`) reads `webhooks.md` §Durability, "deliver each matching event at least once", across a whole run; no row did before. It registers one subscription to `run.started`, `node.started`, `node.completed` and `run.completed` with a receiver that answers `204` to everything, and runs the noop fixture. The expected set is every logged event of a subscribed type (`GET /runs/{runId}/events/poll`), keyed by `sequence`. Each must arrive at least once, deduplicated on `(webhookId, runId, sequence)`; duplicates are counted, never held against the host. The wait is `retryWaitFor`: the advertised `maxElapsedMs` plus the grace (RFC 0225), else the cap or the floor. The row convicts when some of the run's subscribed events arrived and others did not, or when nothing arrived and nothing reached the listener; nothing of this run arriving while other traffic did is `blocked`. A pass carries an `observed:` detail (counts, duplicates, slowest first arrival, wait path). The leg unregisters its subscription. Measured on the v2 reference host (openwop-examples `d0255b4b`): `executed-pass` in 255 ms; with its `run.started` fan-out removed, `executed-fail` naming `run.started (sequence 0)` after the 90 s window, and the file's other five legs stay green, which is the gap: myndhyve#560's lost `run.started` fan-out was convicted only incidentally, under the wrong MUST (#1780). Surveyed against the three hosts' code: each delivers every subscribed type and passes on its certified deployment (MyndHyve's window is its advertised 600000 ms plus the grace).
