 | `scripts/run-engine-caps-ledger-test.mjs` | A per-key disposition ledger for `GET /v1/capabilities`. The SDK's `Capabilities` grew from 74 keys to 93 in one release and nothing on the board could see it: this package consumes that table through four synchronous readers, and *nineteen new positions arriving while the package does not move* is exactly the disease shape this repo keeps logging on other axes — the fact is already on the wire, the package boundary is the cell that swallows it, and no client can read it however they write their side. So the ledger is reconciled **element-wise against the SDK interface in both directions**: a key the SDK added with no ledger row is red (someone must classify it), and a row for a key the SDK removed is red too (a registration that no longer does anything). Each row then has to survive its own claim — a `read` row names the source file, and the **code** there (comments stripped) must really mention the key, because prose asserting an alignment is the classic way these guards go hollow; a `not_read` row must have **zero** read sites in the tree, so wiring one up while the ledger still says the package ignores it is red rather than invisible. The census behind those two directions recognises five call shapes, each of which really occurs here — a reader whose base argument carries its own parentheses, a direct `caps.<key>`, a narrowing cast, an own-property read helper, and a `*_CAP` constant — and proves it on fabricated samples first, since a census that recognises one shape reports "nothing here" for the other four. What the guard deliberately does **not** judge is whether a position *ought* to be read: that is a design call, and the ledger only pins that every capability was looked at once by a person and that what they wrote down does not contradict the code |
 | `scripts/run-sql-engine-capability-test.mjs` | The SQL-posture read face and the four-state capability reader underneath it. One capability cell here carries **four different things**, and each one points an operator somewhere else: nothing has been observed yet in this process (a one-shot doctor run is always in that state), the response arrived but carries no such key (an older engine), the engine explicitly answered `null` — *this deployment has no SQL backend*, which is a **positive fact** rather than an absence — and a full reading. Fold any two together and the screen states something flatly, confidently, and wrongly, so every positive control here is paired with a control pointing the opposite way, and the four sentences the doctor row can print are checked to be pairwise distinct and non-implying. The reading itself is narrowed no tighter than the mint: `txnMode: null` is a **legal value** — two of the three engines always report it that way, and the upstream type note names reading it as "optimistic" as the error — so treating it as malformed would throw away the entire reading for ordinary deployments, which is the same disease this repo logged when a consumer's domain was narrower than the producer's. A response that cannot be parsed **clears** the cell rather than leaving the previous engine's answer in place, and a separate invalidation port exists for the case the generation latch cannot catch — a same-port respawn whose new probe never succeeded, where the stale reading would otherwise be answered as current fact. Untrusted values (the isolation string is read back from a database server variable) are sanitised and bounded before display, and the bound is applied **before** escaping so a visible escape never gets cut in half. Finally the export names are themselves a guard: the shell still carries a copy that is meant to go red on the package's same-named export and be swapped out, so renaming anything here would silently disarm that lock. Current engines (≥7.106.0) moved the SQL posture under the always-present store posture (`store.sql`) and dropped the top-level key, so the reader reads two generations: a response that carries the store posture is read from `store.sql` alone (absent there means the engine reports no SQL posture, exactly as the older `sql: null` did), and an older response is read as before — only when neither place has it is the position "not reported"; the engine's own projection is replayed to prove every form it mints reads back |
 | `scripts/run-web-search-backend-capability-test.mjs` | The deployment-default WebSearch backend read face (`capabilities.webSearch.backend`, engine ≥7.82.1). Same four-state discipline as the SQL and write-protection cells, with two things that are specific here and therefore guarded: a **missing key** (an older engine) and an explicit **`"none"`** (the engine says this deployment has no default search backend) point an operator in opposite directions — "cannot tell" versus "not configured" — and must never be folded; and the `none` sentence has to say both halves of the contract at once: the default scenario mounts no WebSearch tool, **and** a caller-supplied `webSearch` setting can still mount it on a single-user lane, because the capability advertises the deployment default, not whether this request has search. The backend word is read as an **open set** — the engine's closed set is typed from its own provider tuple and grows with it, so hand-copying three words here would turn a newly configured backend into "unreadable" (the narrower-than-the-mint disease this repo already logged once). `webSearch: null` is malformed rather than `none` (the mint never emits `null`), extra members never cross, an unparseable response clears the cell, a stale probe generation is dropped, the invalidation port clears to "not observed", and the open-set word is sanitised and bounded before display |
-| `scripts/run-terminal-cause-projection-test.mjs` | The `7.64.0` wire reshape, projected. A run's ending stopped being eight parallel flat keys and became **one tagged cause** (`completed \| failed \| blocked \| paused`), and a tool call's gate stopped being four orthogonal words and became **one record** (`disposition` / `settlement?` / `origin?`). Both are read in exactly one place in this package, and this guard pins them at **two levels**, because the dangerous seam is "the reader was updated, the consumer was not": each terminal arm is checked on the reader *and* on the `subtype` / `is_error` / `errors[]` the projector actually emits. Two properties carry most of the weight. First, a terminal word this reader does not know is **never** laundered into an empty success — it lands on an `unknown` arm carrying the word verbatim, while a payload with no terminal word at all (the mock lane) keeps the success arm exactly as before, which is the one and only case the reader answers `null`. Second, the three window words (`approval_window_expired`, `denial_limit_window_expired`, `park_sla_expired`) must each be told apart by a different predicate: the previous generation collapsed all three onto one `timeout`, and re-merging them would throw away the discrimination this reshape just restored. Two byte generations are read by one reader, keyed on the discriminator upstream nailed (`"terminal" in result`): the current cause form, and the **flat** form that a current engine still emits on two lanes — replayed persisted bytes, which the service passes through verbatim rather than back-filling, and the service's own rejection envelope. A cause-form payload that also carries stale flat keys must ignore them entirely: keeping one compatibility read is what gives a single fact two sources. The same file also pins the MCP delivery verdict and HTTP status riding the wiring manifest, the four-state write-protection reading (where three of the four states mean *cannot tell*, and none of them may be printed as "there is no table"), and the park-reopen fetch identity: that predicate is asserted through the **real entry point**, since the defect being fixed was precisely a call site wired to a different predicate than the one that routed the row there. From 0.80.0 one of those three boundaries flips: the key naming **who settled a refusal** stopped being a dead byte and became part of the wire, so the check stopped scanning the build output for the word and started reading the request bodies the two decision legs actually send. A refusal attributed to the deployment's own policy carries the word; one attributed to a person, one with no attribution at all, and one carrying a word the vocabulary does not hold carry nothing — the wire has no slot for “a person decided this” other than the key's absence, so inventing one would be minting a word upstream does not have. The allow family never carries it on any of its routes, because that combination is refused before the approval is judged while the side effects of allowing have already landed, and the three refusals nobody was asked about (a card that failed, a user who walked away, an interruption) carry nothing either. A deployment that signs the bodies it accepts does not sign that word, and there is no capability bit to ask beforehand, so a refusal on exactly that ground is answered by re-sending the same decision once with that one key removed — byte-for-byte the same otherwise — rather than letting an optional note take the whole denial down with it. The guard measures that along three axes: the decision still lands and is reported as decided with the attribution handed back and a separate flag saying it never reached the wire; a caller who aborted in between gets no second request; every other refusal code, and every decision that never carried the key, send exactly once. The classification of a second failure is made from what the second body actually carried, not from what the card asked for. From engine `7.104` a synchronous submit that stops at a gate returns the engine result itself plus a three-key receipt: it now carries the tagged cause, so it reads as `paused` on the cause generation (older engines still send the flat three-key body, which keeps reading as before), and the top-level park word is looked at first, the same order the SDK documents for all three generations, so a body the server says is parked is never read as finished. A parked run row now carries its result too, and the headless reconnect path turns it into the parked terminal frame on the first attempt instead of spending its whole retry budget — both generations are pinned, including an end-to-end drive through the public reconnect entry point. |

When the caller passes the failure's error carrier and it is a session-history tool_use mismatch, the edit-and-resend reading yields to the recovery sentence that line already carries; the carrier is handed to the same mismatch classifier, so the reading and the classifier never disagree on a carrier, whatever its shape; without a carrier the reading is compared byte for byte with the previous release's package. |
 | `scripts/run-auto-mode-unavailable-test.mjs` | The fact behind "you are being asked because the auto-mode classifier could not run", and the one place its sentence is minted. The cause table is a **copy**, reconciled word for word in both directions against the installed engine's own bytes — it narrowed upstream, and the guard follows rather than keeping the old shape: a table checked against something nobody ships any more is the oldest way for a guard to be green and wrong. The retirement is held from both sides — the removed table must really be gone upstream, and the removed reader and word must really be gone here — while the word that left keeps arriving cleanly from an older engine, because the reader takes the cause as an **open set**: the vocabulary belongs upstream, so a copied list here would discard a legal value the day one is added, and the value discarded is precisely "this outage is a NEW kind". The reader's one exclusion is the word the engine says it never stamps here — the classifier did run and did answer, just outside its contract, so reading it as a failure would invent an event the engine denies. That exclusion used to be derived from a second table which no longer exists; the reason for it never lived in that table, so it is now stated where it actually comes from, pinned as a **named** set (a magic literal scattered through the reader reds) and cross-checked against the engine's own verdict declaration and against the reader having exactly one such comparison. One reader serves both the live ask and its durable parked twin, since the two carry the same key path and a second copy is how two ledgers drift apart. Absence is pinned as absence — most asks never consulted a classifier at all — and the sentences are checked mutually distinct, prototype-safe, and walked end to end: an unknown word reaches the sentence a person reads (the fallback that names it verbatim) and the status reading (unavailable for this round, never a fallback to "available"), with counter-controls proving neither assertion is vacuous |
-| `scripts/run-engine-notice-catalog-test.mjs` | The engine-notice catalog and its audience table. Whether a notice deserves a person's attention is not decided by whether this end happens to have a phrasing for it — that drifts with each client's build order — but by whether the engine minted the code into its own written catalog; the audience row answers the separate question of *who* the fact is for, since an operations fact pushed at an end user is noise and a user-facing fact buried in an operator log is something withheld from the person who could act on it. Both tables are reconciled against the installed engine's own artefacts in both directions and pinned in lockstep with each other, unknown codes fall back to the conservative operator side, and catalog membership is tested on the raw value so a code carrying control characters cannot impersonate a registered one after sanitizing. The reader for a dropped MCP injection keys on its own code alone and treats a missing session, server or reason as absence rather than throwing at a read site. A reverse pin enforces the upstream's single-mint contract: the engine composes those sentences from the host's facts, so a copy of them appearing in this package's source or build is a second source that would drift, and fails. From 0.84.0 it also covers the reader for the two read-directory grant notices: it recognises only those two codes, needs the tool call id to match a card, passes the rejection reason through as written, and treats only the granted notice as evidence that a directory was added; a granted notice without both the directory and the spelling the engine now holds, or with a scope other than `exact`, is not read at all, and the scope word is pinned to the engine's type at compile time. The server also mints a few notices of its own through the same channel; those codes live in a second table with their own audiences, kept apart from the engine mirror (which must stay equal to the engine's catalog) and reconciled against the server's published package when one is supplied, so a user-facing server notice is no longer filed under operations. One dispatcher returns the typed facts for every code that has a reader, discriminated by code and tagged with its audience — only the user-audience codes belong on a user surface — and the guard ties the dispatch table to the module's own exported readers in both directions, so a reader cannot be exported without a row and a row cannot be dropped without the guard failing. From 0.85.0 it also covers a third server-minted notice, the one saying that part of a session's saved history could not be read when the session was reopened: it is a user-audience notice, its two counts are read one by one and anything that is not a non-negative integer reads as `unknown` rather than zero (neither "nothing was skipped" nor "nothing is left" may be invented), and one extra sentence — the context is empty but the turn runs — is given only when the count of entries left is exactly zero. When the server package is supplied, the guard drives the server's own emitter for that notice and reads what it emits back through the dispatcher. From 0.86.0 the catalog grows by six engine notices — a personal rule store that could not be read and was skipped, an auto-mode classification that could not decide and where the call went, a requested permission mode that did not take effect, a permission mode answering a question on the person's behalf, a mode release past a read-deny table, and a legacy checkpoint's mode keys being migrated — each with its own typed reader: branching words (the classifier's cause and destination, the reason a mode did not take effect) are read as closed sets, descriptive words pass through as written, and a malformed notice reads as absent; two of them are checked against notices produced by the engine's own emitters. The unresolvable-ask notice's optional remedy sentence is carried verbatim when it is a non-empty string — never trimmed, rewritten or filtered by cause — and its absence (older engines, other causes, an empty or non-string value) leaves the rest of the view unchanged; a notice without it reads byte-for-byte as before, and the engine's own mint function drives three cases through the dispatcher. A fourth server-minted code, the user-facing notice that a model endpoint could not be connected to, is registered with its audience and has its own reader: the failure code, the endpoint, the remedy sentence and the session are required, the name of the proxy variable is optional, the code and remedy pass through as written, and the server's sentences are never copied into the package. With server fixtures, the server's own decorator mints the notice for a direct and a proxied connection and for every connect-failure code it knows, and stays silent when a response arrived or the call did not end in error; the audience table is reconciled against both fixture generations, a row newer than the older fixture being required to be absent there. From 0.88.0 the catalog grows by one operator notice — a provider request whose tool turn broke the pairing rules was repaired on its way out — with a typed reader: each repair's form word passes through as written (the engine does not publish that word list from its entry point and has announced more words), the call ids are read as a non-empty list, any malformed entry makes the whole notice read as absent, and notices produced by the engine's own repair law and emitter read back field for field. The model-unreachable reader reads only the notice detail's own properties, like the other server-minted readers. From 0.89.0 the engine's own catalog registers those server-minted codes as well — each code carries an audience and a record of who mints it — so the package's separate table for them is retired and both the membership check and the audience lookup answer from the engine's tables alone, the four codes keeping the audiences they had; the guard reconciles the engine's record of server-minted codes against the published server's stream allow-list on the newer server generation and against the older server's own table on the older one, and the generator refuses an engine whose minter table is not in lockstep with its catalog. Two user-facing notices gain typed readers: an incomplete tool turn (cause, count, session and run are required, the call ids are optional and copied, and a cause word the package does not know passes through as written) and user input a run may not have used — one reader for the steer and follow-up codes, the kind decided by the code, the count required, the cause passed through as written and never filled in when absent — plus one user-facing sentence that names only the count, does not claim the input went unused when the server could not tell, and falls back to a cautious sentence for any cause it does not recognise. Notices produced by the engine's and the server's own emitters read back field for field, and every reader answers the same for frozen and unfrozen input. Every reader and the by-code entry point read a notice's code and detail as own properties only: a notice whose code or detail sits on its prototype, or on a polluted global prototype, reads as nothing through all three doors alike. |

From 0.84.0 it also covers the reader for the two read-directory grant notices: it recognises only those two codes, needs the tool call id to match a card, passes the rejection reason through as written, and treats only the granted notice as evidence that a directory was added; a granted notice without both the directory and the spelling the engine now holds, or with a scope other than `exact`, is not read at all, and the scope word is pinned to the engine's type at compile time.

One dispatcher returns the typed facts for every code that has a reader, discriminated by code and tagged with its audience — only the user-audience codes belong on a user surface — and the guard ties the dispatch table to the module's own exported readers in both directions, so a reader cannot be exported without a row and a row cannot be dropped without the guard failing. From 0.85.0 it also covers a third server-minted notice, the one saying that part of a session's saved history could not be read when the session was reopened: it is a user-audience notice, its two counts are read one by one and anything that is not a non-negative integer reads as `unknown` rather than zero (neither "nothing was skipped" nor "nothing is left" may be invented), and one extra sentence — the context is empty but the turn runs — is given only when the count of entries left is exactly zero. When the server package is supplied, the guard drives the server's own emitter for that notice and reads what it emits back through the dispatcher. From 0.86.0 the catalog grows by six engine notices — a personal rule store that could not be read and was skipped, an auto-mode classification that could not decide and where the call went, a requested permission mode that did not take effect, a permission mode answering a question on the person's behalf, a mode release past a read-deny table, and a legacy checkpoint's mode keys being migrated — each with its own typed reader: branching words (the classifier's cause and destination, the reason a mode did not take effect) are read as closed sets, descriptive words pass through as written, and a malformed notice reads as absent; two of them are checked against notices produced by the engine's own emitters. The unresolvable-ask notice's optional remedy sentence is carried verbatim when it is a non-empty string — never trimmed, rewritten or filtered by cause — and its absence (older engines, other causes, an empty or non-string value) leaves the rest of the view unchanged; a notice without it reads byte-for-byte as before, and the engine's own mint function drives three cases through the dispatcher. A fourth server-minted code, the user-facing notice that a model endpoint could not be connected to, is registered with its audience and has its own reader: the failure code, the endpoint, the remedy sentence and the session are required, the name of the proxy variable is optional, the code and remedy pass through as written, and the server's sentences are never copied into the package. With server fixtures, the server's own decorator mints the notice for a direct and a proxied connection and for every connect-failure code it knows, and stays silent when a response arrived or the call did not end in error; the audience table is reconciled against both fixture generations, a row newer than the older fixture being required to be absent there. From 0.88.0 the catalog grows by one operator notice — a provider request whose tool turn broke the pairing rules was repaired on its way out — with a typed reader: each repair's form word passes through as written (the engine does not publish that word list from its entry point and has announced more words), the call ids are read as a non-empty list, any malformed entry makes the whole notice read as absent, and notices produced by the engine's own repair law and emitter read back field for field. The model-unreachable reader reads only the notice detail's own properties, like the other server-minted readers. From 0.89.0 the engine's own catalog registers those server-minted codes as well — each code carries an audience and a record of who mints it — so the package's separate table for them is retired and both the membership check and the audience lookup answer from the engine's tables alone, the four codes keeping the audiences they had; the guard reconciles the engine's record of server-minted codes against the published server's stream allow-list on the newer server generation and against the older server's own table on the older one, and the generator refuses an engine whose minter table is not in lockstep with its catalog. Two user-facing notices gain typed readers: an incomplete tool turn (cause, count, session and run are required, the call ids are optional and copied, and a cause word the package does not know passes through as written) and user input a run may not have used — one reader for the steer and follow-up codes, the kind decided by the code, the count required, the cause passed through as written and never filled in when absent — plus one user-facing sentence that names only the count, does not claim the input went unused when the server could not tell, and falls back to a cautious sentence for any cause it does not recognise. Notices produced by the engine's and the server's own emitters read back field for field, and every reader answers the same for frozen and unfrozen input. Every reader and the by-code entry point read a notice's code and detail as own properties only: a notice whose code or detail sits on its prototype, or on a polluted global prototype, reads as nothing through all three doors alike. From 0.90.0 the catalog is eighty-five notices: the engine retired the notice for the one-off migration of old parked rows, so the catalog, audience and minter tables lose a row, its fact reader and named type are gone from the public surface, and the code is treated like any code outside the catalog (the dispatcher answers nothing, the catalog check answers false, the audience stays the conservative default). The unused-input reader also reads the child-session field carried by the copy a parent session receives when a sub-agent ends with inputs unused — taken from the engine's real minting site — and the user-facing sentence says so for the two definite shapes, with no identifier in it; every malformed form of the field drops only that field. |
 | `scripts/run-tool-roster-projection-test.mjs` | The leg's tool roster — what the engine says it actually mounted and what face each tool wears — replacing three word lists that were only ever an estimate taken from one traffic capture against one pinned engine. The reader copies the engine's own all-or-nothing discipline: a roster whose row cannot be read, or whose declared count disagrees with the rows, is dropped whole rather than handed over short, because a consumer reading a short roster concludes the missing tools are not mounted — the upstream says in as many words that this is worse than sending nothing. A malformed *face* on a row (path target, render hints) drops only that face, since a face is not an identity. Shims are built strictly from roster rows and never guessed from a tool's name, and an axis that cannot be read stays absent rather than defaulting to `false` or `never`, which would render "unknown" as "safe". For run-time changes the guard pins the one hard rule in the contract: a digest that does not match is **not** a rejection — the carried roster is the new state regardless and only the summary becomes unusable, because refusing the swap would leave the consumer holding a stale roster forever. One reading here answers a question that the terminal state structurally cannot: whether this run was assembled with any file-and-shell tools at all. The engine's terminal vocabulary says a run finished, not whether the work got done, so an orchestrator that waits for the end and then guesses has nothing to guess from — while the assembly manifest already said it at the start, one row per mounted instance with the single condition that mounted it. The reading is three-state and both folds are refused: a roster that is readable and carries no such row is the engine stating a fact, while no roster at all is not that fact — the static half of a manifest never carries one, and an older engine reports rosters without naming the mount condition at all, where an empty count would be a statement about the reader rather than about the run. Those two are kept apart in the reason the reading carries, and the wording for every unknown case is checked never to claim the run had no tools. The same roster now decides the tool list on the first line of a non-interactive run: the host holds that line until the roster arrives and lists exactly what the engine mounted at the start of the run, in mount order. The guard runs a real assembly frame through the projection into the decision, and pins that the host falls back to the estimate only once the roster is known not to be coming — a manifest without one, an unreadable one, model output or the run's end arriving first — rather than on a timer alone (model activity counts, including a model call that is still waiting or retrying; an error line the stream synthesizes when a run fails before assembly counts as the run ending), that a sub-run's manifest is never mistaken for the run's own, that an empty roster is taken as the engine's answer rather than as silence, and that the wait bound covers both sequential default budgets the engine gives an external tool server to connect and list its tools. The holding logic itself lives in the package as a small per-run gate — buffer, decide once, release the held messages in arrival order, then pass through — and the guard drives real stream output through it to pin that the release happens exactly once, at the manifest, releasing exactly the held prefix. The ordering itself also lives in the package as a stream wrapper, and the guard checks the final output a consumer reads: the first line is always the tool-list line, a message that arrives while that line is still being built comes after it, a timer firing races nothing out of order, a source that ends or fails before the decision still gets its first line and held messages out before the error, and an early exit closes the source. From 0.84.0 the roster-derived sentence source no longer throws on a value it does not recognise, including a reading of the manifest's `hands` section passed by mistake: it answers the same "not stated" sentence as the `hands` reader, from one shared source, and its six known sentences do not change. From 0.86.0 that first line also says where its tool list came from, in two added keys the wrapper writes onto the host's own line object in place: a source of `engine-roster`, `estimate` or `host-static`, and, only for an estimate, which of the four reasons made the roster known not to be coming. The guard checks every decision path end to end, that the host's object keeps its identity and every other key byte for byte, that stale values of the same two keys left by the host are replaced (a stale reason is removed rather than left behind), and that a host line that cannot be written is passed through untouched instead of failing the first line. |
 | `scripts/run-permission-rule-issue-codes-test.mjs` | The rule-lint refusal codes an engine reports when it will not compile a permission rule. The SDK publishes neither a schema nor a type for them, so the package mints the table from the engine's own bytes and the guard pays the cost of that copy instead of leaving it to somebody remembering: it parses the codes the engine actually mints and reconciles them against the table in both directions, so a code added upstream (the user would see a bare code) and a code only the package believes in (a branch that can never fire) both fail. It also reconciles the table plus a small retired ledger against the engine's declared union, which is deliberately not the same set — one member was renamed and its old name is still declared — so reviving a code the engine will never mint again is impossible and a future stale member shows up immediately. Sentences are pinned one per code, mutually distinct, and split by family: a rule that is wrong and a rule that is legal but unsupported on this lane are different next steps and may not share a sentence. The engine's own message rides along as prose — sanitized and capped after escaping, never matched on |

The tables are copies, not opinions: the asker table is reconciled in both directions against the lists the installed SDK and engine packages publish, and the denier table is the installed engine's own list followed by the one word only older engines still send, checked so that every word the SDK declares is present, the retired word really was a word of an earlier generation, and every word ahead of the SDK comes from the engine — a word added upstream (nobody renders it, the user sees a bare code) and a word only the package believes in (a branch that can never fire) both fail. Every word must carry its own literal sentence and no two may collide, including the sibling pairs the upstream deliberately split apart — an organization store and a personal rule store being unreadable send you to different people, and the two tighten origins exist precisely to name which layer of engine logic asked. The two fallbacks are pinned distinct because an unknown word means different things in each: a denial layer this build does not know may have been added by a newer engine or may come from a damaged record, so its sentence says it cannot tell which instead of asserting damage; the asker vocabulary is genuinely open (the server only checks for a non-empty string, so an unknown word just means the client is older than the engine). Alongside them sits an **uplift anchor** rather than a third table: the reason a call was decided the way it was is a distinct semantic face from who denied it and who asked, one upstream has not mirrored into the SDK at all, and one whose newest member — a shell command allowed because it only reads — has no sentence anywhere yet. Minting the union here would create the second drifting source the day upstream publishes it, so the guard instead asserts the **absence** from both ends: the SDK declarations carry no such union near that word, and the installed engine’s own list does not carry the word either. The engine end fires first, on the batch that raises the dependency, which is exactly when the ownership question should be answered; the SDK end fires when the mirror lands. Either red is the work order to mint the sentence, never a reason to delete the anchor. A fourth mint now sits beside the three tables and is not a table at all: a single presence-only fact — that no saved rule and no standing posture can retire this question — earns one sentence, taking no argument precisely so a caller cannot mistake it for a second kind of mandate, pinned distinct from every sentence the tables mint, pinned never to point at rule-writing, and pinned not to overclaim the stronger neighbouring demand that a person rather than a configuration must answer; it must not say the question is asked every time — an answer for this one call may come from the person, a hook or an automatic check the deployment runs — and its wording is checked against the engine package's own description of the mandate. A fifth table joins them from 0.80.0: the thirteen words for **how a wait ended**, mirrored in both directions from the engine's own declarations — the table's owner — with the wire SDK's copy held alongside as a second witness that must match it word for word and in order, so the day the SDK falls a generation behind, that is what turns red rather than the mirror silently following the wrong source. The newest of them says a deployment's own policy answered the card — not a person, and not “nobody could be asked” — so the guard pins it apart from both neighbours by behaviour, feeding every one of the thirteen words through all five named predicates and checking which word makes which one speak, rather than what any predicate returns. Two of the thirteen also decide how a refusal is filed in the session transcript; that mapping is minted once and reused by both of the package's own entry points, and anything outside those two words yields nothing rather than a guess. Since 0.83.2 a sixth list covers the word a mandated question stands on (`APPROVAL_MANDATE_WORDS`, six words): it must equal the engine's own list word for word and in order, membership is exact, the card reader `readApprovalMandate` answers only for an own key holding one of the six words, and each word has one fixed sentence explaining why the question must be confirmed — six distinct sentences that never point the reader at writing a rule, never promise a question every time, never claim only a person may answer, and repeat no other sentence the package mints. The list is also pinned against the engine's type at compile time in both directions, while the published build references no engine package at all: every `.js` and `.d.ts` file in the build is scanned, and the same scan is first shown to fire on references planted in a scratch directory. |

The list is also pinned against the engine's type at compile time in both directions, while the published build references no engine package at all: every `.js` and `.d.ts` file in the build is scanned, and the same scan is first shown to fire on references planted in a scratch directory. From 0.90.0 the settlement table carries `policy_allowed` (a machine allow, listed before `policy_refused`) and the mirror is checked against the installed engine byte for byte, in order; the installed SDK (12.x) predates the word, so its list is compared as "the engine's list minus one registered lagging word", and every SDK witness at 16.0.0 or later must carry exactly the engine's set of words. The party that settled is the engine's five-word set, read open (any word, including an unknown one, comes back as written); a policy allow is no person's approval and no refusal (all five named predicates stay silent on it, and it files no denial class in the transcript), and the refusal word reads the same under both party spellings of the two server generations. The one lagging word that loosens the compile-time check against the installed SDK is itself guarded: it must stay a non-empty union of string literals (widening it to `string` compiles cleanly, so only this check catches it), the check's declared type must stay exactly as written, the word list must equal the list this check registers, and every lagging word must be absent from the SDK at the peer floor yet present in the newest witness SDK and in the installed engine's list. |
 | `scripts/run-engine-identity-test.mjs` | The engine generation anchors on `/health` (`pid`, `instanceId`, `startedAt`; engine >=7.67.0). `/health` is the one unauthenticated door and its heartbeat is always green, so "another host restarted the shared engine" used to be discoverable only by having some authenticated request hit a 401 first — a path that misreads a restart as a network fault. The reader narrows each anchor independently (one malformed field never hides the other two) and always hands back a reading object rather than an absence, because the caller is asking which anchors answered, not whether there was a response. The comparison is a three-word verdict, not a boolean: `unknown` when the two readings share no comparable anchor at all — an empty intersection means nothing could be compared, never that nothing changed — and the boolean convenience is pinned so that only `true` is an assertion. Any comparable anchor differing decides `changed`, so a reading whose `startedAt` matches while its `instanceId` does not cannot be waved through as the same life; precedence only decides which anchor gets named in the diagnosis |
 | `scripts/run-posture-knob-projection-test.mjs` | The three deployment knobs on the operator face (`serverGates.durableApproval` / `streamAskWindowMs` / `sessionAutoTitle`, engine >=7.67.0), each read as a value **plus who set it plus one operator-facing pointer** rather than a bare value — a bare boolean cannot answer why this particular machine is on this setting or how to pin it back, and a default that flips with the deployment shape is invisible without that. A worker too old to report readings still sends a bare boolean; the reader folds it into the same shell so consumers keep one branch, but raises a `legacy` bit, answers `undefined` from the machine-readable source accessor, and mints a sentence that contains no source word at all — claiming a source nobody reported is worse than admitting the worker cannot say. The other two knobs are honestly absent on such a worker rather than defaulted, a malformed side knob drops only itself while the anchor knob drops the whole reading, and the four sentences are pinned literally distinct so an operator can tell "not observed" from "not reported" from a real value. The last leg reads the installed SDK's `openapi.yaml` and `types.d.ts` directly, including a pin that exactly one knob on this face is numeric — the premise the millisecond-to-prose rendering rests on |
 | `scripts/run-terminal-facts-projection-test.mjs` | The four unconsumed terminal-receipt facts: `TaskResult.effectiveReasoning` / `effectiveMemoryScopes` are narrowed into `_sema_effective_reasoning` / `_sema_effective_memory_scopes` on the CC-shaped `result` (success and error envelopes alike; a malformed value mints nothing, never a default tier), the resume **reopen** family (`resume.env_failed` / `tool_unavailable` / `tool_contract_mismatch`) is a frozen closed set with a reader and three-sentence copy that is disjoint from the refusal and retry-later sets, and `routePairingVerdict` reads `ModelInfo.routePairing` as ok / broken / unknown without policing the open set. A fifth section pins the structured-output key on the success result: the CC-spelled `structured_output` is the only home for the value the wire calls `structuredOutput`. The camelCase spelling this package used to mint on its own — a misspelling of the CC field, not an additive field of our own — rode alongside it for exactly one release (0.79.1) and is **absent from 0.80.0 on**, pinned both by own-key and by `in`, so a consumer still reading the old name sees `undefined` rather than a stale copy. The wire position is read exactly once, so a value-changing accessor is only ever asked for its first answer; absence stays absence; a wire key that is present but `undefined` mints nothing, since a key whose value is `undefined` makes a consumer that tests presence read "the engine produced nothing" as "the engine produced an empty result"; falsy-but-present values such as `null`, `0`, `""` and `false` are still minted, and so are shapes that are not records at all — an empty array, a populated array, a string, a number, a boolean — each carried through by the same reference, because the shape of that value is decided by the caller's own schema and the package does not get to filter it; and the error envelope carries no such key, because the CC error arm has no such field. Which spelling CC itself declares is witnessed from the mirror's own syntax tree rather than a constant copied into the guard, so the day that field is renamed upstream the guard says so. |

Since 0.73.4 a push-side fetch that did not get a readable body (thrown, or an unreadable `livePending` section) is owed a look: it is retried with doubling back-off until one fetch succeeds (never abandoned by count), cancelled by any successful fetch, cleared on stop, and switchable off. |
 | `scripts/run-leader-conflict-test.mjs` | The leader-run terminal `needs_human` + `result.conflict` (engine ≥7.83.0), read once for all three shells. A `result` without a `conflict` key is reported as `none` and worded as "no conflict details" rather than "no conflict": on the wire it is indistinguishable from an older engine that never reports one, and the reader does not pick a side. A `conflict` that is present but unreadable is a third word, never folded into `none`, because a tree that carries conflict markers must not be rendered as clean. `filesTruncated` is honoured only as `true` (absent means the list is complete; any other value makes the section unreadable), `workers[].applied` is passed through as the boolean fact it is, `salvaged[].patch` is handed to the save path byte-for-byte (an artifact, not screen text; a malformed row is dropped alone, and a salvage list that is present but cannot be fully read is flagged rather than rendered as "no patches"), and `rejHead` — the one on-screen diagnostic — is escaped and bounded before display. The record never throws on hostile input, extra members do not cross, arrays are fresh copies, and the single sentence minted here names the base, the files, which branches landed and which did not, and how many patches can be saved, without ever suggesting a retry: `needs_human` is a run waiting for a person, and the no-details sentence says plainly that it is not proof of a merge |

The single discriminant is `outcome` and all three answers are HTTP 200, so the reader branches on the word and never on the status; the `unsupported` answer carries exactly five keys and the reader refuses to invent a zero or an empty list for the four fields the engine did not produce, while `accepted` / `refused` treat those four as required and go malformed when one is missing. The tool roster follows the **presence** of `toolNames` (absent = untouched, empty = withdrawn), the connection record passes `errorCode` through as an open set, and every remote-authored string is sanitised and bounded before display. Failures are classified by `errorCode` alone, a missing code is reported as unknown rather than guessed, the verb never throws, and the request-side guard (non-empty name, ≤190 chars) stops a call that the contract would reject anyway.

 | `scripts/run-read-face-posture-projection-test.mjs` | The operator-face `readFace: ReadFacePosture` reader (server >=7.65.0). Three ways of "can't say" are pinned to three different, literal sentences, and none of them may read as "nothing is pinned" — that statement belongs to exactly one case, `face: null`, which is a positive fact reported by the engine, not an absence: not having read an operator response yet, having read one from an engine too old to report the key, and the engine actually saying nothing is pinned are three different next steps for an operator and must not collapse into each other. `source` is read as an open set (the server's closed four words plus an escape hatch) rather than narrowed to an enum, so a new word added upstream is not silently turned into a bad reading. The free-text `note` is sanitized and length-capped before it is ever rendered. A companion pure function flags disagreement between this face and the tenant-facing `capabilities.readFace` — silent only when the two actually agree, honest-absent when either side cannot be read at all, never asserting agreement as a fact. The gate's last leg reads the installed SDK's own `openapi.yaml` directly rather than restating the schema in prose, so the package's leniency cannot quietly drift from the real contract |
 | `scripts/run-display-body-test.mjs` | The engine wraps text it hands a model in a fence — an opening marker naming the payload, the payload itself, and a closing marker — so the model reads it as data and not as instructions. That fence is minted and read in one place here, which makes stripping it for a human reader this package's job rather than each shell's: a shell that renders the envelope verbatim is showing a person a defence that was written for a model. The reader answers with a discriminated union — fenced, with the label and the payload, or not fenced, with the text as it came in — and it reaches that answer through the **same** matcher the mint side registers, never a second copy of it; the guard proves that by walking the syntax tree of every source file and requiring exactly one literal carrying the marker text, and by requiring the reader's own body to contain no matcher of its own. Eighteen shapes are run through both entry points and required to agree line for line. Anything the package does not recognise — a near-miss in the wording, a hyphen where the marker has a dash, a different case, an opening marker with no close, a close before an open, a truncated close, or any non-whitespace byte outside the pair — comes back unfenced with the input returned **verbatim**: no guessing, no trimming, no repair, because a half-stripped envelope puts a sentence on screen that nobody wrote. Only the outermost layer is removed, so a nested fence, or one forged inside the payload, survives byte-for-byte in the body — those bytes are part of what the engine said, not part of this protocol. Nothing else is washed: control characters, leading and trailing whitespace and a twenty-thousand-character payload all pass through untouched, and so does the label, because sanitising and length-capping belong to the mint point that puts a string on a screen and a passage of text must not have two launderers. A value that is not text is answered with **nothing at all** rather than with an empty payload: the reader never stringifies it, never calls its `toString`, and never emits `[object Object]`, and it does not hand back a body of zero length either — an empty payload is a real reading (a fence can legitimately wrap nothing, and an empty string is an empty string), so folding "there was no readable text" into it would leave a caller unable to show a degraded line at all. Those three stay apart: no text yields nothing, an empty string yields an unfenced empty payload, and an empty fenced payload yields a fenced one with its label. The `fenced` discriminator is always present on a reading, and the label key exists only on the fenced arm, so a missing label is never rendered as an empty one. One shape needed more than the whole-string match this started with. When the engine reports back from a delegated run, the fence is only **one section** of the report: ahead of it sit a frame header, a handful of optional field lines and a section label, behind it a closing instruction addressed to the model, an optional internal identifier and a usage block. A matcher anchored to both ends of the input answers *not fenced* on that, and the whole scaffold - written for a model - goes on screen. The reader therefore also locates the fence **inside** a recognised report frame, using four anchors that are always present and always byte-for-byte fixed, and hands the located slice back to the same single matcher rather than a second one; the guard assembles its corpus from the engine package actually installed (the fence from that package's own constructor, the frame lines read structurally out of the minting file and then compared byte-for-byte with what this package registers), so a rewording or a reordering upstream turns the guard red the day it lands. Three readings are pinned one cell each: a fenced result section yields the payload the delegate actually wrote; a partial-findings section yields that text and says which of the two it is, with the prefix line kept out of the payload; and a section the engine filled with its own no-text sentinel yields an empty payload with a reason, which stays distinguishable from an input that was simply an empty string. Whatever surrounded the fence is returned alongside rather than dropped - the bytes before it, the slice itself and the bytes after it reassemble into the input exactly - and the payload never contains a line of the frame. The criterion deliberately does **not** enumerate the lines outside the fence: several of those field lines carry interpolated untrusted text and cannot be told apart from prose, so requiring every one of them to be recognised would mean that a single new field line upstream sends every failed report back to being unreadable, and a failed report is exactly when a person most needs to read what the delegate said. Fourteen negative shapes hold the line against the easy widening, strip anything that looks like a fence: a fence sitting in ordinary text, a missing frame header, a different sentence where the closing instruction belongs, a report with no closing instruction at all while the fence sits at the very end, a header and label in the wrong order, mismatched open and close tags, an open with no close, a bare unfenced section, a stray line between the label and the fence or between the fence and the closing instruction, an entirely absent section, a no-text sentinel with another line after it, a partial-findings prefix followed by something that is not a fence, and the whole report in carriage-return line endings all come back unfenced with the input verbatim and no frame at all. Above all, **provenance is not in the text**: locating a fence inside a frame happens only when the caller states where the bytes came from, because four anchors can only recognise a shape and never prove an origin. The default reading is byte-for-byte what it was before, so a passage of ordinary prose that happens to quote a report - with real warnings on either side of the quoted part - is returned untouched and those warnings stay on screen; a caller that does state the origin gets the located reading, and even then every surrounding byte comes back alongside. Twenty-three malformed origin values fall back to the narrower default without throwing: a near-miss in case, a camel-cased spelling, the right word padded with spaces or tabs or a newline or a zero-width character, a string wrapper object, an object whose `toString` or `valueOf` reports the right word, and an object whose converters both throw. The guard compares the caller’s argument for **exact equality** and nothing else — no trimming, no stringifying, no calling the value’s own converters, because that would let a value of unknown provenance choose its own lane — and a source-level cell requires that the argument reach the comparison unreassigned and unnormalised, with its own two-way check that those patterns speak. The two accepted words are read off the published type rather than copied into the guard; adding a third word later is a type-compatibility change for any caller that switches exhaustively on them. Each of the three anchors must also be **unique** in the text, and ambiguity means the reader declines. The reason is not hypothetical: the frame header interpolates the task's own description verbatim, and the engine only requires that description to be a string, so it can carry newlines and a complete set of protocol lines. Any rule that picks one candidate out of several can therefore be made to pick the planted one, hiding the real result among the surrounding bytes - a guard cell reproduces exactly that, with a planted section and a real one, and requires the reader to decline and the real text to stay on screen. Two reports back to back are the same ambiguity and are declined the same way, with both payloads left visible; a delegate that quotes any one of the three anchor lines inside its own answer also falls back to the input verbatim, which is the registered cost of the rule, and a discrimination cell shows the same corpus reads cleanly once the quoted line is gone. The two legs are not the same shape either: the forked one ends at its closing instruction with no trailing bytes at all, and that real shape has its own cell. The witness arm reads each leg only inside its own array of lines, decodes every extracted literal to its **runtime** value rather than trusting the spelling in the source, and fails loudly if it cannot - an escape rewrite upstream leaves the runtime label unchanged while the spelling diverges, and since that same extracted value builds the corpus and serves as the expectation, trusting the spelling would close a self-proving loop. The two payload labels are therefore also pinned in the guard and compared against what was extracted, so an equivalent rewrite stays green while a real rename turns red the day it lands. A delegate that quotes the frame lines inside its own answer does not move the location, and those quoted lines survive in the payload byte-for-byte |
 | `scripts/run-display-cap-order-test.mjs` | The order in which untrusted text is sanitised and length-capped, across every mint point that puts an engine- or database-supplied string on a screen. The sanitiser rewrites each invisible character as a six-character escape, so capping the **raw** string first and escaping afterwards hands the screen six times the width that was budgeted — a forty-character allowance becomes two hundred and forty. The guard does not hardcode that allowance, because each mint point wraps its field in different fixed prose and the prose moves: it anchors on the deciding quantity instead, feeding one benign and one control-character input of the same length through the same mint and requiring the second not to come out longer. That criterion is immune to wording changes and stays sensitive to the expansion, and it is `<=` rather than `==` on purpose — a correct escape-then-cap backs the cut off a partially-consumed escape token, so the control-character line is legitimately the shorter of the two, and demanding equality would score that avoidance as a regression. Each mint is bracketed by two positive controls (the input really reaches the screen; the cap really engages) and the expansion predicate is shown to turn red against a deliberately cap-then-escape reference, so an all-green run cannot mean the guard simply measured nothing. The shared mint point is checked directly for the two avoidances it owes — never splitting an escape token in half, which would leave something on screen that looks like the beginning of a complete answer, and never splitting a legal surrogate pair, which would manufacture the very lone surrogate the sanitiser exists to catch |

 | `scripts/run-hitl-gate-honesty-test.mjs` | [2393] the four HITL disciplines that a passing type-check cannot see. (1) The park predicate and the `tool_end` predicate must cover the **same** set — the park side admits a first-class `kind:'tool_approval'` gate for *any* tool name, and a `tool_end` frame carries no `kind`, so the frame-level judge falls back to the engine's exact abort marker; otherwise the poison frame hits the transcript and `markEnded` swallows the real replayed result (the #110 disease, reopened on kind-only gates). (2) The already-decided identity criterion is **one-shot**: its two inputs are monotonic, so without consumption one successful decide makes every later park failure — including a real `approvals.list` outage — read as "already resolved" until the 24-hop budget runs out and reports a cause that has nothing to do with what happened. (3) A `plan_review` card dismissed without an answer must be re-presentable: the idempotent re-arm short-circuit re-publishes the still-armed card, and a stale armed id (responder gone) re-arms from scratch rather than presenting a card nobody can answer. (4) `HitlSafetyError` is a safety signal — the `remember` fallback arm must re-raise it instead of auto-retrying the decide, while a plain unknown-key 400 still falls back. (5) The polling leg reschedules after an escaping throw and flips `mode()` to `idle` once it consistently fails, so the honesty surface stops reporting a dead feed as live. (6) The live-frame leg carries the fact behind "you are being asked because the auto-mode classifier could not run" all the way to the card port. Transit narrows on SHAPE only — a non-empty cause string is taken verbatim, an open set, because the word table's owner is the engine and re-checking a closed table at the package boundary would drop a legal value the day a new cause word appears, which is exactly the information worth keeping. A malformed carrier degrades to absence rather than half-minting, and absence stays absence: it covers "the classifier answered", "this ask never qualified" and "this deployment has no classifier" at once, so nothing may render it as reassurance. The guard also pins the division of labour that makes the open set safe — the same word that transits is judged again by the public display reader, which narrows to the availability axis, so a word the engine says it never stamps on this fact renders no sentence while still being visible on the card for triage. A later section pins the split this release introduced on the deny close-out frame. Until now every denied tool call was stamped with the same sentence — the one that says *the user* does not want to proceed — including the calls denied automatically on a lane that has no approval surface at all, where nobody was ever asked. The guard drives all three shapes (a person pressed No, a rule settled it, nobody said which) through both close-out arms and the durable park leg, and pins that the third shape is byte-identical to the previous release: an attribution nobody supplied is not evidence for either answer. The rule-settled shape carries the shell's own reason on a second line when there is one and stands alone when there is not, because a blank line where a reason should be reads worse than no line at all. The attribution is read from own data properties only, so neither a polluted prototype nor a getter can make an automatic denial claim a person made it — and the getter case is pinned to never run at all. The transcript classification word is minted only on the two paths where the upstream transcript format really carries one; the three classifier words and the two abort words are left absent, with the abort words pinned against the strings this package actually normalises interruptions to, which are different strings. A final section pins the decide-operation observer: one `start` in the same tick as the first request and exactly one `end` after the last attempt has settled, across success, retried timeouts, exhausted transient failures, semantic refusal, binding mismatch and both kinds of caller abort, with nothing between retries; an observer that throws or rejects — even when logging that fault fails — never changes what is sent or returned, and the stream-level dependency reaches both durable park legs. A package-internal re-delivery of the same decision (plain approve after an older server rejects the session-scope flag, or a re-send without the attribution key) is reported as one operation with a single start and end. An operation handle only groups sends for the same session and bound call — a send for another gate through the same handle is its own operation — and closing a handle while a send is still in flight defers the end until that send settles. When a person picks "allow for this session" on a parked card and the grant is known not to have been stored — the server answers so, which newer servers do for the gates they can recognise from the parked row as needing a person each time, or the server refuses the session-wide grant with one of the refusal codes that are fixed by the row or the deployment and the package falls back to a plain approval — the parked path now says so with the same line the live path uses, and the receipt carries the server's bit for hosts that call that path directly; an answer without the bit, or any other failure — including a conflict that an internal retry can hit after an earlier send already stored the grant — is treated as unknown and says nothing, a plain approval that never asked for the grant says nothing, and a host logger that throws after a successful decision, on either card path or in the bridge's retry step, can no longer turn it into a second send or a failure. From 0.83.0 it also pins approval cards whose arguments are not the tool's real input: a live frame whose arguments were omitted over the size cap or never sent (the card holds at most a path recovered from the question), and a parked approval whose stored input is missing or replaced by the upstream size marker. On every such card an edited approval sends nothing at all — no respond, no decide, no session-grant attempt — ends as edit-refused, raises the same notice once and flags the card so hosts do not offer editing; both production entry points are driven end to end, and the parked path neither mistakes it for an already-decided gate nor reconnects. The explanatory line is pinned word for word in its four forms: a recovered path is the only thing it claims to have recovered, an unrecoverable one says nothing was recovered, neither claims a reconstructed diff, and the parked forms each say which of the two gaps it is, with near-miss shapes of the size marker still rendered as ordinary input. Real input on the stream, the frame or the record keeps edits flowing, and plain approvals and denials are untouched. Since 0.83.2 the live frame's `mandate` word reaches the card only when it is one of the six known words, read back identically by `readApprovalMandate`; it never adds the separate mandated key to the card, but a known word on its own makes `approvalIsMandated` answer true, because the engine only sends the word as the whole reason for that bit. The frame's `origin` is read from its own keys only, so a value inherited through the prototype chain never reaches the card. |
 | `scripts/run-park-hop-progress-test.mjs` | L-80: the park re-attach loop budgets **stalled** rounds, not parks. A turn where the model keeps hitting gates and every one of them is really decided (a card was answered, the engine really moved on) must never be cut off by the hop budget — the budget counts consecutive rounds that produced no progress, and "the engine revived and immediately parked again on the same coordinates" is not progress. The three non-progress arms (already-resolved, decide-transport-exhausted, and a re-scan that was adopted but led nowhere) share one same-cause limit instead of one arm having a limit and the others having none, and every non-progress re-attach is announced once through the host callback rather than only to the debug log. When the limit is spent the resolver reads the approval queue once more and puts whatever is decidable in front of the user before it gives up; only when there is genuinely nothing to show does it fail soft, and the terminal message then carries the real cause and a real way out instead of a sentence about a budget. On the self-heal side, a reopen verdict that reports `decidedWithoutCard` — the chain settled the gate by rule, so there was no card to present — is progress, not a reopen failure, and the user is not told their message was NOT sent. Negative control: a genuinely empty queue with a run that never moves still fails soft |
 | `scripts/run-notif-fleet-honesty-test.mjs` | [2393] the five notification/fleet disciplines a green type-check cannot see, each proven by reverting the fix. (1) The workflow-side dedup `return` keeps a count and a trace — without it "suppressed by design" and "a real completion swallowed because the runId minting changed" are the same observation. (2) `seq` normalisation has exactly one mint point, so a 0-based or fractional wire `seq` cannot make the watcher lane and the frame lane key the same completion differently (which would feed the model twice). (3) The TTL sweep defers to a probe arm that is still inside its own deadline — an entry recorded as "abandoned" must not be delivered a moment later — while an arm that has outlived its deadline never blocks the sweep, so the headless exit gate keeps its liveness. (4) The reset hook really clears every ledger it claims to (the sticky `prompt` ledger leaked across cases). (5) The fleet ledger counts all three drop paths (malformed / unknown frame type / isolation drop), and the panel projection's settled recycling is anchored on the settle instant and skips still-present rows, so the dedup token is never carried off with the entry (which would re-emit `end`) |

Every suite that reads it is checked to read it: no ratchet name may sit next to a numeric literal in their own source (an AST check, so an accounting comment or a test string mentioning the number is fine), each names the cell it reads, and each keeps the step-down channel — when a measurement comes in *under* a ceiling the suite prints one `RATCHET-SLACK` line instead of passing in silence, so slack cannot quietly accumulate under a ceiling nobody lowered. Negative control: a cell rewritten as a string, a fractional or negative cell, a missing cell, a cell with no ledger entry, a ledger entry missing a field, and a ledger tail that disagrees with the number in force each have to make the check speak.

Projection: both sections ride as `_sema_`-prefixed superset keys, verbatim, and no SDK-named key is minted; a frame where neither section is well-formed projects to `none/not_in_slice` (no empty arm); `modelGate` needs all three keys and treats `removed: []` as a bad value rather than a reading; `autoMode` needs a boolean plus a non-empty reason that agrees with it, and the reason word is never mapped onto the capabilities vocabulary; the frame is flat (a nested `manifest:{}` wrapper is not a supply); `eventId` rides like every other arm. Adapter: exactly one chrome event on the main lane, a sub-flow frame (any `parentToolCallId`, `null` included) yields nothing, and an absent `eventId` leaves the key absent. Added at receiving time because the shell-side gate could not see this package's behaviour: two mutations (empty `removed` accepted, sub-flow gate removed) had passed the package suite untouched 0.71.0 adds sections F–I: the fourth/fifth/sixth manifest sections (`tools` via the roster reader, `hooks[]` rows dropped one by one when malformed, `lsp` absent unless `mounted` is a boolean), the `tool_roster_delta` arm (narrowed `delta`, `malformed` when `fromDigest`/`roster` cannot be read, host applies it against its own digest), the `context_usage` arm (finite-gated scalars plus `sections[]` rows dropped one by one), and the `WiringManifestMcpEntryView` rename with `MAX_AGENT_SKILLS` gone from the surface From 0.84.0 the `hands` section (whether this leg was assembled with the engine's built-in file and shell tools) is projected as well: a strict boolean `mounted` plus the engine's reason word passed through as written, absence kept as "not reported" rather than folded to either answer; a three-state reader and one sentence source share their opening and closing with the roster-derived sentence, whose bytes do not change. The sentence source answers the not-reported sentence for anything it does not recognise, including a roster-derived reading, and never throws. From 0.88.0 the `fileHistory` section (whether this leg records file history; `on` / `disabled` today, passed through as written for unknown words) is projected as well: present only as a non-empty own string, absence kept as "not reported" rather than folded to `disabled`, malformed values dropped like the server drops them, the same view on the non-streaming submit receipt, and a leg built and published by an installed server package checked end to end when one is available. A `fileHistory` value that throws when read leaves only that section absent; the other sections of the same frame are still delivered on both the streaming and the submit-receipt paths. The server-minted `instructions` section (which instruction file the leg loaded) is projected verbatim as a frozen copy, an explicit empty selection stays an empty list, absence stays absent, a malformed section is dropped without touching its siblings, and a frame carrying only this section still becomes an event. |
 | `scripts/run-submit-wiring-manifest-test.mjs` | The non-streaming submit receipt can carry the run's opening wiring manifest (`TaskResult.wiringManifest`, additive on newer servers). `readSubmitWiringManifest` answers one of three: the key is absent on the receipt itself (older server, or a deployment whose engine never produced that frame) — not the same as unreadable; the key is present but cannot be read (not an object, or none of the twelve sections survive); or a manifest view. The view is the same shape the streaming lane's chrome event carries (minus its two envelope keys) and is assembled by the same code path, so both lanes agree byte for byte on the same object. Liveness fields ride through untouched — this reader never mints a liveness verdict — and an operator-shaped receipt with extra governance sections reads to the same view as a tenant-shaped one. A zero-tool roster is a real reading, not an absence. A receipt carrying only the `instructions` section reads as a manifest, an explicit empty selection is kept, and absence or a malformed section leaves the key out. |
 | `scripts/run-rule-offers-reader-test.mjs` | The narrowing reader behind the "don't ask again" options, now a public entry point rather than a card-port-only one. Hosts that render the frame themselves (a browser has no three-way terminal card) previously had to rebuild this reader on their side, and what it carries is a **redemption-safety** judgement, not a convenience: the batch arm is redeemed by **index**, so a reader that compacts the array after dropping a malformed entry makes the k-th option a person clicked and the k-th rule the server writes two different rules. So: a bad entry is dropped **on its own** (one bad option must not make a real one disappear) while every surviving entry keeps its **original wire index** — pinned from both ends, with the bad entries leading and trailing. A batch's *members* are the opposite: any malformed member drops the whole batch, because a conjunctive batch is one "yes" to all of them and a batch missing a member is a different grant; its honest-remainder count is a reading, not decoration, so a non-integer or negative value drops the batch rather than rendering a fabricated zero. An empty array, a non-array, an over-cap array and an all-bad array all read as **absence** rather than an empty list, because an empty list renders as "there is an option lane with nothing in it". The two wire generations are ordered by a rule, not a preference: the newer key wins outright, a newer key that is **present but unreadable** does not fall back to the retired key (borrowing the older material would pass someone else's options off as this request's), and a `null` newer key reads as absence so a relaying layer that serialises "missing" as null cannot delete the whole lane on older engines. The public entry is finally reconciled against **both** card-port legs on the same material, byte for byte, so the exported reader and the one the card sees can never become two. Two upstream vocabularies used to be **hand-copied** here, and both had fallen behind: a match word outside the copied pair dropped an otherwise valid option outright, and a batch carrying a directory-read member — a member kind the copy did not know — dropped the whole batch. Both tables now come from one place upstream and are re-exported verbatim, pinned in both directions: every word in the table must be accepted (a narrower copy reds on the words it never learned) and a word constructed to be outside it must still be refused (a reader widened to "any string" reds too), with the retired-key normalising leg sharing the same narrowing so the fix cannot land on one leg only. A member whose kind is genuinely unknown still drops **the whole batch and only that batch** — never one member, because a conjunctive batch one member short renders "yes to N" as "yes to N−1", and never the card, because the honest single beside it is intact — while a member from before the discriminant existed normalises to the historical kind rather than being refused. The additive per-segment reasons ride through verbatim, drop only the row that is malformed, and stay **absent rather than empty** when nothing survives, since an empty list would read as "confirmed nothing uncovered" while the count remains the only source of truth |

The wait is narrowed to the domain the server mints it in, which is **stricter than the shell's own copy was** — a zero now reads as no window rather than as "retry now", and the wake-up it would retry is an at-most-once action with real side effects.

Those generic codes are not a specific check, so the sentence says the refusal did not name a more specific check (and shows the generic code in brackets) instead of presenting it as the check that refused the resume; the generic-code list is compared word for word, in both directions, with the server dispatcher that mints them. |

 | `scripts/run-resume-retry-later-test.mjs` | The two resume refusals that carry a **wait quantity** — the only members of that refusal family that do, which is the whole reason they form a closed set. Carrying a wait is not the same as being the only ones worth waiting on: a sibling refusal in the same family clears on its own and the engine says so in words, it just cannot put a number on it, so *not recognised here* must never be read as *waiting will not help*. One of the two also has a *terminal* upstream branch that arrives under the same code with the distinguishing detail only in prose, so recognition alone is not permission to say "try again": the disposition is decided by **positive evidence** and pinned from both directions — the quota-window code is evidence in itself, the preflight code counts only when the server really supplied a wait (an upstream fact, not a convention: the terminal branch throws with no detail at all, so a wait value cannot reach the client on that path), and a preflight refusal with no wait reads as *undecidable* (say what is true of both branches — nothing was consumed — and leave redeemability to the engine's own line) rather than being rendered as either a retry or an ending. Every other member means waiting will not help (change a setting, relaunch, the retained session is gone), so the recognition is a **closed set of two codes**: widening it to a family prefix would tell half the users to wait and the other half to keep waiting for something that will never arrive, and the negative controls drive exactly those codes through it, plus a same-named code on a different door (the submission-side quota refusal), the two underscore-form siblings, and a code merely quoted inside a message body. The wait value is narrowed to the same domain the server mints it in (a whole number of seconds, at least one): zero, a negative, a fraction and a non-number all read as **no window given** rather than as zero, because a zero tells the caller to retry immediately and the wake-up it would retry is an at-most-once action with real side effects. Reading is structural rather than `instanceof`, since the client is host-injected and the same class name across two bundles is two classes, and a null-prototype plain object must still be recognised. The failure classifier gains this one disposition without any existing one moving, an unknown code still falls to the honest open-set arm and its wait value is **not** believed, and an end-to-end call proves the disposition and the window reach the host while the call itself is still attempted exactly once. The recognised code set is a **frozen array**, not a type-level readonly set: the latter is a plain mutable collection at runtime and the decision reads the same instance, so one `.add` from any consumer would turn a refusal that waiting cannot fix into one that claims it can — the guard proves it by really trying to mutate the exported value and then checking the verdict did not drift |
 | `scripts/run-model-capability-probe-test.mjs` | Whether a model on the OpenAI-completions lane **thinks**, and whether that thinking can be **turned off** — a question nobody can answer by looking at a model name, and one whose wrong answer costs every later call. The probe is judgement only: the network half arrives as an injected port, so the package mints no URL, reads no credential and never calls `fetch` — pinned by a source-level assertion, because a package that reaches the network once has changed what every host must trust it with. The seven dialect words are a **copy**, reconciled element-wise against the installed engine’s own bytes in both directions, since the words belong upstream and a private table drifts the day a dialect is added; the settings package deliberately declines to restate them, so the table cannot be imported from there and this guard is what stands in for the import. The **order** the dialects are tried in is a public promise rather than an implementation detail — each extra attempt is real money and real latency against someone’s gateway — so the guard pins the exact call sequence a stub records, and reversing it reds on the wasted round trip; the template-parameter spelling leads because an observed gateway keeps thinking, and answers with an empty body, when handed the top-level switch instead. That observation is also why an empty answer is **not** accepted as *thinking is off*: a knob that deletes the reply is not a knob that disabled reasoning, and accepting it would write a spelling into the catalogue that the gateway does not honour. Two dialect words whose request bytes are identical to another’s do not each burn an attempt. The two verdicts that look alike are held apart from both directions: *tried everything, still thinking* requires at least one attempt to have **cleanly answered**, and when every attempt was refused the verdict is *could not tell* instead — and on the unanswerable path the result carries **no** thinking flag at all rather than a fabricated `false`, while the pure write-back returns the very same entry object untouched. A verdict that reasoning cannot be disabled **removes** a previously declared spelling rather than leaving it, since a refuted spelling keeps the engine sending bytes the gateway ignores while the catalogue still renders it as already off. Evidence is lengths, finish positions and status codes only — a planted secret in both the answer and the reasoning channel must appear nowhere in the result, so the record can go into a log or a ticket whole. One cross-package premise is checked by really running the other package’s parser rather than quoting its documentation: everything this probe writes eventually passes through the settings schema on its way into a catalogue, and that field is declared parse-transparent precisely so the vocabulary can live on the consuming side. If it ever narrows, the spelling is stripped **silently** — indistinguishable from the probe never having run — so the guard feeds the probe’s real output through the real parser, checks the compat object comes back key for key, and checks a dialect word this client has never heard of survives too. Two shapes that must be rejected really are rejected, since otherwise the survival checks would hold on a parser that accepts anything, and a bare entry is asserted valid first, because the first run of this section reddened on a space in a fixture’s name — a fixture that cannot pass would disguise the real alarm as already having fired |
 | `scripts/run-decide-receipt-test.mjs` | What a decision verb actually **answered** — and, more importantly, what it did not. A success response on the newest lane is only an acknowledgement that the decision was accepted for delivery: the approval is still pending, and a client that clears the card on it shows either a ghost card that was already approved or a card that vanished while the decision was lost. So the package deliberately has **no** "was it resolved" predicate — nothing in that body can answer it — only the opposite one, whose `false` is likewise not evidence of resolution; resolution is only ever the next running arm on the stream. The guard pins that inversion in the product source too: the success path must no longer clear the latched gate, while the stream-observing path that really clears it must still be there. The body has four shapes with **no** key common to all of them, so every position is read as honestly absent, and the handoff handle — which run to watch from here on — requires **two** facts together, since either one alone would either point the stream at the run it already had or mint an empty handle. The record of what finally happened to an already-decided action is read through the **same** reader as every other gate record rather than a second copy, and its absence means **unknown**, never *it was allowed* — the two can even contradict each other, so the card says nothing at all when it is missing. The three refusals on that lane each get one distinct sentence and a disposition taken from **why** each was refused rather than from severity: one cannot be helped by re-sending at all, one waits on the host, one just drops an option — and none of them carries a countdown, because the server never mints a wait for them. Recognition is a **closed set**: an unrecognised code on the same prefix returns nothing rather than a guess, since that prefix also houses a safety signal whose whole rule is never to retry automatically, and the recovery handle is read as absent when unreadable rather than substituted from a different identifier that no longer appears on that lane **0.68.3 (core 7.18.0):** `gate.disposition.classifier` is read key by key into a named view (requested model, model that answered, and the ladder fallback when one happened); a half-shaped record yields no classifier at all rather than a half view, and absence stays "unknown", never "the seat answered itself" |

 | `scripts/run-assistant-arm-identity-test.mjs` | The identity keys on an assistant row, and an explicit account of the two that are **deliberately not** there. What the renderer received was a bare role-and-content object, so a dozen consumer sites downstream were each estimating what the message envelope should have told them. The id is taken from the engine's own event id rather than minted locally, because it has to be **the same value** on the live leg and on a durable replay — a freshly minted one would make a replayed message look new to a host's dedup and to rewind — and when the wire carries none the key is simply absent rather than filled with a random stand-in wearing an identity it does not have; it is also kept distinct from the envelope's own local render key, which is a different identity. The model name comes from what the host pinned when it opened the stream (the request was the host's to build) and is never guessed, since a wrong model name is worse than none once a billing or capability face looks it up. Usage and stop reason are **not** minted on this arm, and the reason is frame order rather than effort: content arms arrive before the turn's closing frame, so at the moment the arm is emitted the engine has not yet said what the round cost — anything put there would be an estimate, which is the very thing this work exists to remove — and synthesising a follow-up assistant update when the real figure lands is also refused, because that shape does not exist upstream and would place a message in the transcript the engine never sent. Their real values leave through the turn's own neutral arm as two superset keys, the usage one reusing the **same single mint point** the footer rollup already folds so the two faces cannot diverge, and the stop reason passed through verbatim as an open set — the machine signal for *was this turn cut short*, previously blind on both the stream and the trace. The existing behaviours beside them are pinned too: no arm at all when usage is wholly absent, and the sub-flow cut-out that keeps a child's turn from driving the leader's face |
 | `scripts/run-text-segment-authority-test.mjs` | The **authoritative segment replacement** on `text_end` (server >=7.75.3). `text_end.content` now goes through the same redactor as `result` and the ledger while `text_delta` stays verbatim, so the two **may differ** — an answer that quoted a credential used to be committed to the local transcript in its unredacted form, because the arm only forwarded the boundary signal. Six timing shapes are pinned, two of which an adversarial review reproduced against the installed engine's real bytes and which the first design got wrong in both directions: a second boundary in the same turn (the per-block case on one provider lane) used to make the first segment's prose vanish, and a boundary that arrives *after* the tool card (the other lane emits it at finalize) used to be read as "this package never handled that segment" and reported nothing at all. Three additive keys, all never-false; the two shapes that look alike are told apart by the second one, because the host's action in them is the opposite. The end-to-end legs drive the real pipeline without hand-inserting a segment commit — doing so is exactly what hid the first defect. A second review round then found two combination timings on top of the first fix — a tool card followed by *more* deltas in the same segment, and a byte count that had been documented as a message count — and both are pinned here too. A third round caught a length that the prose called bytes while the code returned UTF-16 units — harmless in ASCII, and on CJK text enough to leave the credential on screen — plus a backfill ledger that had to be kept in step, so the terminal frame does not re-render the segment a second time — kept in step only where the whole stretch sits in one message, because those ledgers are per-message and a fourth round showed that writing across them charges one message's prose to another. A fifth round settled the whole class into one invariant the guard now checks against the previous release's behaviour: this package only rewrites bytes it is still holding in the current message — once a segment has crossed a package-side boundary it emits the three keys and changes nothing else **0.68.2 (CC-01):** the segment identity is now minted here, not by the host: every committed assistant text row carries a top-level `_sema_segment_id` (stamped once at the `adapt()` exit, so the durable whole-message leg and the streamed-segment leg are covered alike; thinking blocks, tool_use-tailed rows and chrome events are left byte-for-byte), `text_segment_end` carries the same value as `segmentId` before rotating, subagent boundaries never rotate, and a replayed stream yields the same identities. Three mutations (no rotation / no stamping / stamping tool_use rows) each turn the guard red **0.69.0 (CC-02):** the same authority replacement now covers the reasoning face (`reasoning_end`, server >=7.77.0): a thinking block still buffered is swapped whole and its live tail recomputed; one already committed at a boundary (the usual timing, since the first text delta commits it) is left untouched and the host is told the row to replace by its uuid, never re-emitted. Subagent boundaries are ignored and the text-segment identity does not rotate **0.69.1 (CC-09):** the run-stream replay guard still drops a frame whose event id was already seen, but it now reports the drop through the host's dropped-frame sink as `duplicate_seq` instead of vanishing silently (server 7.77.0 reuses the first reasoning delta's id for `reasoning_end`, so that authoritative segment is lost on the print lane until 7.78.1); the interactive adapter has no such guard and keeps receiving it **0.69.1 (CC-10/CC-11):** subagent segment-end frames are fenced on all three identity keys (a frame carrying only `sourceTaskId` no longer masquerades as the leader's), and a reasoning segment that spans tool cards now hands the host every committed row it covers (`committedUuids`) so nothing unredacted is left behind |
 | `scripts/run-gate-negative-controls-test.mjs` | Whether the registry-shaped guards among the suites above actually turn red when the material they check really breaks — a census found the ones clean enough to rehearse safely (closed sets, mirrors, baselines, floors, a type-shape ratchet) without touching any judgement code. Each is exercised by tampering a disk copy of the real material, spawning the guard's own unmodified script, asserting it exits non-zero and names the disease, then restoring the file byte-for-byte. The guards of the same shape that are too costly to rehearse, and the behaviour/projection suites that red on their own assertions, are catalogued rather than rehearsed — see `docs/GATE-NEGATIVE-CONTROLS.md` for the three tables (all generated from `gates-manifest.json`, which carries each suite's classification), the reasons, and a one-minute manual replay recipe for each blind one. The suite reconciles its case list against that classification by name in both directions, so a case quietly dropped from the array without the manifest following is itself an undeclared blind guard. The backup that makes the restore possible is taken by **exclusive create**: checking for it and then copying are otherwise two steps, and two instances can pass the check together — the later one overwrites the only clean copy with material the earlier one has already tampered, and the rehearsal that promises to leave no trace leaves a permanently corrupted file instead. That interleaving is rehearsed too, in a throwaway directory of its own. A run that is interrupted — by the suite runner's time limit, by Ctrl-C or by its terminal closing — restores what it was in the middle of tampering with before it exits: the rehearsed guard's whole process group is stopped first, so nothing that guard started can write the tampered state back afterwards; the file is restored byte-for-byte from its backup and the backup removed only once the bytes match; the build output is regenerated from the restored sources within the grace period the runner allows (a rebuild that would overrun it is cut short, its compiler stopped, and the run says the build output was not regenerated); and the run exits with 128 plus the signal number rather than passing. Before the first rehearsal the suite also looks for backups left behind by an earlier run that could not clean up — in the trees its targets live in, following a symlinked dependency directory — and if it finds one it refuses to start, names the file and how to check and restore it, and leaves the backup untouched rather than overwriting what may be the only clean copy. |

 | `scripts/run-mcp-liveness-test.mjs` | The engine's **liveness observation** about each MCP server it hosts (`wiring_manifest.mcp[].liveness`, engine-side from core 7.24.3 / server 7.91.2): one reader, one word list, one leg-level verdict. The cell answers *can this server still be reached* — it is not the connect-time verdict beside it, which the engine deliberately freezes (a server that died mid-run still reads `connected`), and it is not a re-dial's judgement either, so `status: "failed"` next to `liveness.state: "reachable"` is a **real row**: the server answered the handshake and answered with a protocol error — up, and misconfigured. The three words are read as a closed set (an exchange completed / it was lost in transport or the clock / what came back does not answer the question), and a word outside it is malformed rather than rendered, because a word nobody upstream has defined is not a sentence worth putting on screen. **Absence is the fourth reading and is not one of the words**: it means *no liveness record is available*, which on the wire covers a server this leg never reached, a declaration that could not be dialled, an older engine, and a record the projection ahead of us dropped — all indistinguishable, so it is never read as "we looked and could not tell" (a strictly stronger claim), never as healthy and never as off. The failure-class footnote rides the unreachable word only, and one that turns up anywhere else, or that is malformed, loses **just the footnote** while the word and its timestamp stay: the honest reading is then "cannot be reached, reason not given", not "this record is broken". Malformed never becomes healthy: a cell that is present but unreadable marks its row and pulls the leg-level verdict back to *cannot tell*, since letting it sit beside a reachable row would report a leg as reachable on the strength of a record that may well have said the opposite. The verdict takes the worst fact first rather than a majority or the newest reading, carries no server count — so there is no fabricated zero to be read as "no problems" — and its timestamp belongs to **that leg's** observation, not to now: the engine runs no probe and adds no traffic of its own, so this is a per-leg snapshot rather than a heartbeat. The replayed roster on the session panel and the live leg go through the same reader, and the panel's own deployment-side rows carry no liveness position today, so the verdict does not borrow a word from that face. The word list is bitten in both directions where an installed witness exists and the absence of one is itself asserted against the installed engine's version, so the day it ships the comparison starts on its own; since sdk 11.2.0 the wire types declare the cell, and the word list and the presence test are pinned to those types at compile time in both directions, so the two can never drift apart |
 | `scripts/run-peer-lane-rules-write-capability-test.mjs` | Two more engine self-descriptions read the same four-state way as their seven sibling capability readers (`capabilities.peerLane`, `capabilities.permissionRulesWrite`): an absent key is not reported (an older engine that predates the position, never folded into `false`), `true` is present, `false` is a positive absent (the cross-session lane not being mounted on this deployment, or this particular call not being able to reach the tightening-direction write entry), and anything else is unreadable and drops the cell. Each carries its own single-source verdict (`peerLaneAvailable` returns `yes`/`no`/`unknown`; `permissionRulesWriteAvailable` collapses to a plain boolean, present being the only `true`). The write-entry position pairs with a boolean convenience port in the persisted-rules module, and this guard pins that port to derive from nothing but this one reader's own reading — never a conjunction with the lane-reachable position, and never a second read of the deployment-level existence signal the revoke surface uses (the two are documented as reading differently on purpose): a deployment where the lane answers true but the write entry's key is simply absent (an older binary) must still come back `false`, a deployment where the write entry answers true while the lane key is entirely unseen must still come back `true` (proving no silent conjunction crept in), seeding only the general capabilities cache — never this reader's own feed — must still come back `false` (proving the convenience port cannot be satisfied by the wrong table), and passing an explicit `undefined` base URL must still come back `false` even while a different, already-installed engine target answers `true` for the same position (an adversarial pass found the naive forward of that parameter falls through to the reader's own convenience default, silently answering for whichever engine happens to be installed rather than the caller's absent target — the fix routes an explicit absence through the same empty-string path the reader treats as unobserved). |
 | `scripts/run-lane-proof-identity-test.mjs` | The **instance identity of a lane proof**: the main-lane proof is minted fresh on every emission. Previously a single module-level constant object was handed both to `laneOf(an unregistered task id)` and to some fifty main-lane emission points, so two unrelated consumers — across adapter instances, across streams, across turns — held the same object: writing a card id onto one of them was readable on the other, and the four opening main-lane events changed together. Nothing in this package writes to a lane proof and the known consumers only read it, so this is an **aliasing hazard on a published output surface** rather than an observed corruption — a consumer that uses the proof as an identity key, for dedup, or as a view-layer identity would conflate two unrelated rows without writing a single byte, which is precisely the half that freezing the object would not solve. The gate therefore anchors on instance identity: two independent adapter instances, two rows inside one instance, the same id read twice, and two arms in one beat are each distinct references; mutating one leaves the others byte-identical; and the subagent lane, which already minted fresh, is the control that proves the criterion discriminates. The main-lane **value** is unchanged — an unregistered id still answers `{lane:"main"}` with exactly one own key and still emits its events, so absence is not turned into a second kind of absence — with ordering pinned three ways (registered-then-read, read-then-registered with no retroactive edit of an already delivered proof, the same id twice) and the id failure classes pinned four ways (unregistered, empty string, absent, non-string, the last two emitting no panel event at all rather than an ownerless proof). Where one row emits **two** events — the terminal-tick and card-close legs, which each yield a lifecycle stop and a panel end — the attribution is decided once (a consumer binding a card between the two yields must not split one row across two lanes) while each event still gets its own proof, so a host consuming them one at a time cannot poison the second before it is even yielded. The run stream leg is covered as the same shape, and a syntax-tree check forbids reintroducing a module-level lane-proof object literal or a module-level `LaneProof`-annotated binding (judged on the type node, not on text, so a compile-time pin tuple that merely mentions the type is not miscaught), backed by a type-checker pass that also catches an un-annotated module-level cache such as `const x = mainLane()` while letting the callable factory itself through, while the module-private three-state sentinels of the untrusted read are frozen instead — only `Object.freeze` counts, never `Object.seal`, which still permits writes to existing keys — their exposure being confined to one module |

 | `scripts/run-registrar-tables-test.mjs` | The four registrar table bodies — this Guards table and the three census tables in the repository's negative-control record — are **generated** from `scripts/gates-manifest.json`, the one file that describes a suite. Every row's text must equal what the generator emits, the manifest's suite set must equal the suites on disk, each entry must declare how it is negative-controlled (rehearsed, blind, or behavioural, with the census taker itself declared as such since it does not appear in its own tables), and each row's outward prose is scanned against the published-surface word list — the same list the packaging-hygiene guard uses, shared rather than copied — before the generator may write it into this file. Adding a guard is therefore one manifest entry plus one generator run instead of six hand edits across three files, and a description that drifts in one place and not the others stops being expressible. The row count is no longer what is compared: the earlier arrangement checked the census tables by **length**, so rows naming the wrong suites reconciled green. Positive controls run entirely on in-memory copies — a changed description, a dropped entry, an added entry, a changed class and a hand-edited row on disk each have to make the same judgement speak — and the quieter halves are pinned too: nothing outside a table body may move, a line inside one that is not a recognisable row makes the generator refuse rather than drop it, byte equality is backed by a column-count check (a cell holding a bare pipe splits a row into extra columns, and a code span does not protect it), and the malformed rows kept byte-for-byte as they are found are registered individually, so the registration turns red the day it stops being needed rather than outliving its reason — audited in both directions, since a registration pointing at a row that is no longer malformed and one pointing at a guard that was reclassified or deleted are both exemptions nobody reads |
 | `scripts/run-mcp-probe-face-test.mjs` | The engine's **run-free MCP status face** (server ≥7.93.0, sdk 11.2.0): the `capabilities.mcpProbe` bit read the same four-state way as its eleven sibling capability readers, and two call ports on top of it — read the deployment's own declared servers, or probe a caller-supplied list. Presence of the bit is carried by the engine version, so an **absent key means an older engine** (that route answers a coded 404) and is read as *not reported*, never as *no*; an explicit `false` is the engine's own no and is reported without inventing a reason (whether caller-supplied declarations are accepted is a different bit's question); a non-boolean is malformed and is dropped rather than folded into a no. The availability verdict answers only *should this call go on the wire*: an explicit no means zero requests, and both kinds of *cannot tell* are sent anyway, so an older engine answers with its own coded refusal instead of being silently skipped. One failure judge serves both ports and asks **provenance before status**: a 4xx, 501 or 503 that carries no machine code proves nothing about who answered and is reported as *no verdict*; twelve coded refusals each get their own arm (three identity codes, one of which sits outside the `auth.` family so a prefix fallback would miss it; three different treatments ride the same 400), and a coded answer this version does not recognise lands in *cannot tell*, never in *this engine has no such face*. Retry-after seconds ride 429 and 503 and are absent rather than 0 when the engine gave none. The 200 body is narrowed through the **same per-row narrower** as the streaming `wiring_manifest.mcp[]` leg and the session panel's replay leg, liveness cell included; on this face rows are paired with the submitted declarations **by index**, so a dropped row makes the whole answer unreadable rather than a half table, a row count that differs from the submitted count is reported as misaligned, and an honest empty `servers: []` is kept apart from *non-empty but nothing readable*. `probedAt` and `ttlSec` pass through untouched — this package mints no freshness verdict — the declaration list is handed over as-is with its length snapshotted once, a list that serialises itself differently from what was counted is refused locally with zero requests, and no port ever retries a dial. |

Upstream publishes the same surface behind a subpath of its own, because the subject differs: the engine-wire surface speaks for one engine's service credential, this one for a person's rotating token, and their refresh and error semantics were deliberately never merged. Keeping it behind a second entry point means a client that never touches the control plane neither resolves nor type-checks it. Every value re-export is therefore read from the file the subpath entry actually resolves to, and must be the **same reference** as upstream's own (the control-plane client class, the three config reads, the health probe, the feedback call, the auth-path constant, the content-address helper, and the two typed error classes a host recognises with `instanceof`); every type re-export is compared with the emitted declaration file in both directions; the gate's list and the source file's export lists are likewise compared both ways; and the root entry is checked to carry none of these names, with the root barrel's own source checked to reference the entry file nowhere — a name leaking onto the root would put the cost of this surface back on clients that never asked for it. The subpath is then verified end to end: the installed SDK must really publish its own `./registry` entry and declare every transited name inside it, and this package's own `exports` must point that subpath at exactly the files the gate just judged. Portability is two checks rather than one, done with a parser rather than a text search: the upstream subpath's emitted JavaScript, walked recursively, must contain neither a `node:` specifier (static, side-effect, dynamic, `require` and re-export forms all exercised) nor a Node **global** — because the same package's third entry point is a Node-only surface that imports nothing at all and reaches for the `Buffer` global, so a specifier check alone would pass it as isomorphic, while a byte-level search of it reports two `node:` hits that live entirely inside a documentation example. A text scanner that merely strips comments first gets both directions wrong on ordinary JavaScript — a regular-expression literal containing a slash pair swallows the rest of its line, and the word in a string reads as a reference — so both scanners run off the syntax tree and are checked against fixtures for each failure direction as well as against that real material — including a dynamic import written with a template literal, which a check that accepts only quoted strings misses entirely, and a dynamic import whose target cannot be determined statically, which is refused rather than read as no edge at all. Zero-processing is likewise enforced with a syntax-tree allowlist rather than a keyword search: every top-level statement must be a named re-export carrying that one specifier, so an import followed by an in-place edit of the upstream prototype is refused with a file and line — that shape leaves the name lists untouched and even keeps the same-reference check green, since both sides are then the one object that was damaged. The last section measures, rather than merely notes, one declaration-level gap: two of the upstream subpath's declaration files reference a package the SDK lists only among its own dev dependencies. Moving such a check to a scratch directory is not isolation, because package resolution walks the ancestor directories, so the gate builds a sandbox served by a restricted compiler host and proves the isolation both ways — a decoy copy of the missing package placed one level above the sandbox must silence the errors for an unrestricted host and must not silence them for the restricted one. Then it installs this package into that same sandbox as a real consumer would, and pins the two readings that justify the entry-point split: a consumer that imports only from the root sees no unresolved-module errors at all, while a consumer that imports the subpath sees exactly the two, reported honestly rather than swallowed by this layer. The day upstream ships those declarations, that section turns red; the registered count is then updated and the section stays as a guard against a regression.

Since 0.84.0 the upstream subpath ships those declarations itself: the measured count is now zero, the section stays as a guard (a new missing declaration package turns it red again), the isolation proof uses a synthetic probe that imports only the decoy, and the gate also checks that no upstream subpath declaration references the missing package any more. |

The problem that once kept those five out lived in the type surface, and reference equality holds just as well for a function whose result type has silently collapsed to `any`, so the gate reads each of three upstream generations separately (the installed one plus two probe trees named by environment variables): the five names must be functions in the generation's emitted JavaScript and value-level named exports in its declaration entry; the closure of relative edges (imports, re-exports, import types and path references) from the declaration files that declare them, including a hop out of the registry directory, must contain no bare module specifier; the re-export file, loaded in a scratch directory where the package resolves to that generation, must expose the same function objects as upstream and exactly the gate's list of names, with the neighbours upstream really exports beside them (logout, the grant-type constant, the in-memory token store, the admin class and the like) absent; and a typed probe in the clean-install sandbox must see real return and parameter types, using suppression comments that stay valid only if there is a genuine error to suppress. A missing name in any generation fails the gate rather than skipping; only an unset probe tree is reported as a skipped section, and a set one that does not resolve stops the gate as broken material. The three generations must also be three distinct versions, each at least the major its slot is named for: one SDK filled into two slots, or an older one into a newer slot, stops the gate as broken material instead of counting as extra coverage. Synthetic fixtures (a generation missing a name, a bare specifier in the declaring file and one a hop away, a path reference that points at nothing or pulls in a file with a bare specifier, a wrapper function, one name too many, an export entry pointing at nothing, the generation registry itself) prove the reader answers each case. |
 | `scripts/run-rule-removal-consequence-test.mjs` | The one sentence a rule-removal confirmation surface shows for what removing the rule will actually do: one line per behaviour the rule could have been enforcing, plus a neutral line for when that behaviour cannot be read back, so a caller that hits an out-of-set or missing value never falls back to a specific claim it cannot support. The guard compares the actual output against frozen text rather than merely checking that some string came back, so a dropped word or a swapped clause is caught the day it lands, and the four sentences are pinned pairwise distinct. The line for a rule that was denying something is pinned to say the removal widens what can run rather than echoing the wording used for a rule that asks again — the two are opposite directions, and sharing a sentence between them would tell the person confirming the removal the opposite of what is about to happen. The neutral line is checked from the other side for the same reason: it must not contain a word that belongs to only one of the three behaviours, because that would answer on behalf of a state the caller was unable to determine. The lookup that turns a raw stored or transmitted value into one of the three behaviours reads by strict equality only, proven with a fully trapped proxy and a counting getter to show it never touches a property on whatever it is handed, so a value with a legitimate-looking word sitting on its prototype chain is rejected exactly like any other out-of-set value rather than being unwrapped. A closing self-check mutates one character out of each frozen sentence and asserts the exact-match comparison actually fails on it, so the guard cannot pass by checking only that a string of some kind came back |
 | `scripts/run-mcp-engine-leg-test.mjs` | The two legs behind one row on the MCP detail card. In a two-process setup the servers are hosted by the **engine**, while the Status cell on the card reports **this client's own** connection to them, and the two are independent truths: this client failing to connect does not mean the server's tools are unavailable, and the engine leg on the same screen may be saying it completed an exchange moments ago. Two mints share the work. The first reads one server's liveness off the engine leg as six readings, and its load-bearing distinctions are three. **No roster that could be read end to end** (`null`, `undefined`, anything that is not an array, a length that is not a non-negative integer, a length beyond the scan bound, or rows that could not be read at all with nothing matched) is **not** the same as an **empty** roster, which is the engine leg's positive statement that it declared no servers; the same narrower that feeds this reader answers `undefined` when a non-empty section yields no readable row, so *I could not read it* never turns into *I know it is zero*, and a roster that was not read to the end never produces *this server is not on it*. **Could not be read is not the same as absent**: absence means only that the row carries no liveness key of its own, while a record that is present but unintelligible — a cell that is not an object, a word that is not a non-empty string, or a read that fails outright — is reported as unreadable and is decided before the observation beside it, since a record that may well have said the opposite is no evidence of reachability. **An ambiguous name is answered as ambiguous**: when a roster that was read end to end matches a name more than once, the reader reports the match count instead of picking one, because the upstream contract for the sibling MCP face states that names are not guaranteed unique, and picking optimistically would contradict the worst-fact-first verdict shown on the same screen. When a row's identity could not be read at all the reader makes **no claim about that name whatsoever**, not even a count, since the row it could not read may well be a second one carrying the same name — a row that is plainly not a row, such as a hole in a sparse array, is a different matter and leaves the roster complete. The observed word is passed through **verbatim as an open set**, so a fourth word one day arrives at consumers untouched. The second mint is the one sentence that goes under Status, and it appears **only** when this client's own connection really did fail — the other Status values already tell the truth, and a sentence on top of them would only muddy the verbatim health vocabulary. **The liveness observation outranks the tool roster, and having heard from the engine includes hearing that it could not tell, and hearing something unreadable**: a word meaning *looked and could not tell*, a word this version does not recognise, and a record that arrived but could not be read each get their own sentence rather than falling back to the roster, because falling back would say this client holds nothing at all while the diagnostics page shows that very record. A value that is not a reading at all is a different case and does fall back, since nothing then establishes that the engine sent anything. Only when liveness genuinely cannot speak does the roster get a turn, and the roster itself has four answers — tools were listed, nothing was said, the engine reported zero, and the count could not be read — because **unreadable, absent and zero are three different facts**. No sentence claims that nothing at all has been seen about the server, because on two of the readings that reach the roster the engine has plainly listed it; the sentence for a silent roster states only what this client holds. The nine sentences are pairwise distinct, each one names the engine leg, and **none of them renders the liveness word itself**. Membership of the word list is decided by the one shared predicate rather than a second copy, and the branch over the known words is pinned so that a new word upstream fails the build instead of silently taking the *not recognised* sentence. Neither mint ever throws, whatever a host hands it: every value is taken through one reader that accepts **own properties only** — an inherited key is not a wire fact, and one on a shared prototype could otherwise manufacture an engine observation or suppress a real one — reads each key exactly once, and keeps a read that fails apart from a value that is absent. The roster is walked by index rather than through the array's own `find`, the array test is guarded because it can throw on its own, and a length that overstates itself would otherwise spin forever |
 | `scripts/run-cc-message-key-census-test.mjs` | The one rule behind CC-shaped messages this package emits: every top-level key on a `user` / `assistant` / `result` / `system` message must be a member the CC SDK mirror (`@sema-agent/agent-types`) declares for that same arm, or one of this package's `_sema_`-prefixed additive keys, or a row in a dated transition table that goes red the day its retire version arrives. Mint sites are found syntactically (identifier, quoted and computed `type` names alike) and their key sets are resolved syntactically too — inline literals, both branches of a conditional, the nullish-coalescing and logical or/and operators, `const` initializers and every `return` of a helper — so a type assertion, a `Partial<Pick<…>>` narrowing or a computed name cannot launder a key past the check, while a spread the tool cannot follow (a parameter, a `let`, a member access) fails the tool, never the product. Arms that carry a `subtype` discriminator are checked against that subtype's own member set, so a key declared only for another subtype does not pass on the strength of the arm-wide union. The runtime section drives the real adapter pipeline and pins the tool-result record's SDK-spelled `tool_use_result` (the transitional camelCase twin rides along by reference until 0.83.0). A second runtime section feeds the same tool-result frame to both the interactive adapter and the non-interactive frame builder and requires the structured-result key and the no-output marker to be present together, absent together and equal on the two outputs, while the transitional camelCase name stays on the transcript record only; a static section checks a per-key routing table for the internal tool-result frame against the key sets resolved at the three mint sites, in both directions, and requires the non-interactive frame's structured-result value to trace back to the very same syntax node the transcript record uses — so recomputing or copying that logic on the non-interactive path fails even when the values happen to agree. |

 | `scripts/run-session-policy-refused-removal-test.mjs` | The way out for a session that already carries a tool name the engine refuses. The engine refuses to start a run when any rule applied to it names a retired tool, or a name containing "__" without a protocol prefix, so a session whose own rule record holds such a name fails at startup on every run. The guard pins three pieces. First, the refusal test itself: it is compared name by name, in both directions, with an independent reading of the installed engine's own tables (retired names and protocol prefixes) over a corpus that includes padded, wildcard and parenthesised forms, and it is shown to be wider than the verdict used before a write — a padded or wildcard form is withheld there for another reason yet still refuses the run, so a removal driven by that verdict would leave the session broken. Every corpus name is then written alone into the deny list and into the allow list of a real engine run: the test says "refused" exactly when the run fails at startup with the refusal code and the model is never called, while the same shapes in the command lists are not audited at all. Second, the removal verb: it takes only the refused entries out of those two lists and leaves every other entry, list and ordering byte-for-byte, keeping an emptied allow list as a present empty list; after it runs, the same session's next real engine run gets past startup, for every refused name in the corpus and in both lists. Against the installed engine as an ordinary caller, taking a deny entry out is refused as a loosening — reported as such, written exactly once, the record unchanged and the next run still refused, never a false success — while an allow-list-only removal, which narrows, succeeds; against a model of the newer contract the engine has announced, the removal succeeds, and the same model still refuses a removal of anything else. A concurrent writer causes exactly one re-read, judged again on the other writer's record, and a second collision is reported rather than retried; read failures, coded write refusals and unconfirmed writes (no verdict, a receipt that cannot be read, or a receipt that does not account for the removal, including one that still holds a removed entry) each land in their own arm, and running the verb again after an unconfirmed write reports nothing left to remove. Third, the wording: one sentence per outcome; the loosening refusal names operators and says the record is unchanged, the unconfirmed one says the change may already be in effect, and none carries a rule string or engine text. The startup-failure sentence answers to that one code only, lists every place the entry can be set without naming who may remove it, and a real run with the name in the caller's own policy rather than in the session record yields the same code — which is why the sentence may not claim the entry is in the session record. The verb also requires the tool roster reported by a run on the deployment: a name listed there, as a tool name or an alias and compared exactly as the engine compares it, is left in place even when it is a retired name, because the engine accepts that rule — with a real engine run that mounts a deployment tool under a retired name (or with that name as an alias), the removal keeps the deny rule and the next run still starts. Without a roster, or with one that cannot be read, nothing is read or written and the outcome says why; a readable empty roster is still a roster. The removal sentence speaks separately about names taken out of the deny list and out of the allow list. |
 | `scripts/run-fixture-flat-done-ratchet-test.mjs` | Test fixtures that feed the engine's terminal `done` frame are kept in the shape the live engine actually sends. Since the terminal record became a tagged cause (`result.terminal`), the older flat shape (`result.status` plus loose keys) reaches a client only in two ways: a stored row replayed verbatim from before the upgrade, and the server's own refusal envelope — so a fixture written in the flat shape tests the replay path while claiming to test the live one. The suite finds every `{ type: 'done', result }` literal under `scripts/`, follows `result` to the object literal it really comes from (in place, through a variable, through a helper's parameter at each of its call sites, through a spread, or through the rows of an iterated array) and counts the flat ones that carry no one-line note saying they model a replayed row or a refusal envelope. That count may only go down: it is a ceiling kept in the ratchet registry, and a count under the ceiling prints a step-down line instead of passing in silence. A planted corpus with a known number of flat, noted and cause-shaped frames in each of those forms must be counted exactly, and a note that sits inside a string or gives no reason does not count |
 | `scripts/run-authority-envelope-mirror-test.mjs` | The authority-envelope tags that a peer's message body is defused against before it is written into a transcript line. Tags the engine uses to speak with its own authority (reminders, completion notices and the like) must never survive inside a body a peer wrote, or a forged completion notice could be read back on resume as a real one and poison the dedup ledger. The package's list is generated at build time from the engine package's public entry point, and the guard checks that the source binds that generated list rather than a hand-written copy and that it matches the installed engine package in both directions: a tag the engine treats as authority and the package lacks is red, and so is a tag the package defuses that the engine does not, since that rewrites ordinary text in a peer's message. It also confirms the published list is the engine module's own value and is still derived from the engine's envelope registry, which it reads from the engine's module by path because the registry itself is not published. At the rendered output, every engine authority tag placed in a body (opening, closing, with attributes, upper case) comes out defused on all three peer lanes, and the engine's non-authority envelope tags come out untouched |

Those functions must agree name by name with the engine's own name resolution, leave every name outside the table untouched (empty strings and inherited object keys included), never fold case or whitespace, and never throw. The generator stops rather than writing an empty table when the catalog declares no alias at all, when a catalog row has an unexpected shape, when an alias collides with another row's canonical name, or when an alias is an integer-like string (object keys of that shape would be reordered), and a run of it against a catalog without aliases exits non-zero and leaves every generated file byte-identical; the generated table is built from key-value pairs and is executed in the check against the engine's own resolver, so an alias spelled like an inherited object key still lands as an own entry |

 | `scripts/run-plan-review-decision-ledger-test.mjs` | The plan-review reopen path refuses on one decision ledger shared by every delivery path, not only the package's own POST window: a decision the host reports as handed over (before the card's answer reaches the package, or on the host's own delivery path) counts as in flight until it settles; a pending-row read that started before a decision settled is a stale snapshot of the gate just answered, so a reopen carrying that read mark refuses; and a decision proven not to have taken effect (nothing sent, a refusal that by contract changed nothing, or the engine proven to still hold the very same gate instance — a status alone does not prove it, since a run that moved on to a new plan gate reports the same status) neither counts as in flight nor makes such a snapshot stale, so a failed decision does not consume a legitimate reopen. The ledger's capacity bound never evicts the package's own in-flight decisions, so a duplicate approval stays latched however many decisions are in flight. The package's own in-flight window now runs from the POST to the moment the outcome is emitted (settlement happens before the outcome is queued, so a read the host starts from the queue port is not stale), while the duplicate-delivery latch keeps its POST-only window. A handed-over decision the package's delivery path then sends is the same ledger entry (the host's early settle does not release it); two decisions on one run each settle on their own; positive evidence that the run left the gate settles what is open without releasing the latch; bad inputs neither throw nor record. The ledger is checked against the terminal's current implementation vector by vector when that tree is on disk. Positive evidence that the run left the gate can arrive after the host has handed a decision over and before the package's delivery path picks it up (while the host is still waiting on its gate snapshot, or in the microtasks between that wait ending and the delivery call); the delivery path then still picks up that same entry instead of minting a new one, so the latest decision mark the host keyed its snapshot and its not-applied notice on does not move, the duplicate-delivery latch and the capacity rule hold for it, and the three failure outcomes read byte for byte as they would without the hand-over.

 | `scripts/run-subagent-injected-wire-test.mjs` | The background-agent verbs — the child report read, the live tail, the task-handle output read and stop, steer, the resume assembly, manual compaction with its capability warm-up, and the delegated-prompt read — accept a host-supplied engine client, and the plan-review orchestration now resolves its client through the same single construction point, so a browser host behind a same-origin relay runs every one of these paths without an installed engine target. With a client injected, each entry sends only through it: proven against a real relay-form SDK client and a fake engine while the installed target (default and keyed slots alike) points at a different fake engine that must receive nothing, with the row's own session parameter carried, no `authorization` header on any request (checked beside a token-bearing client on the same spy), and a planted token never reaching a log line, a return value or a failure detail on the injected, installed-target and unreachable paths. The capability evidence behind the task-handle verbs and the row stop gate is read only under the key the host names, never from the installed target; the report, tail and compaction warm-up cache their own probe under that key and re-probe when it is absent. A malformed injected client or connection lands on each entry's existing cannot-send outcome (`null`, `no-wire`, `unavailable`, `offline`, `unreadable`) with zero requests, never a throw or an unhandled rejection. Every request through an injected client settles at the package's own deadline even while the client sleeps through a retry back-off and aborts the request underneath; the caller's own signal still applies, and the old signatures answer as before apart from the no-answer outcomes described next. A steer, resume or stop that may have reached the engine but got no answer — the package's own deadline on an injected client, the client's per-request limit on either path, or a transport failure that cannot be shown to have happened before anything was sent (the connection dropped after the request went out) — is reported with a machine-readable `unconfirmed: true` beside the unchanged `reason`, so a host can say it may have taken effect instead of calling it a failure; a cancellation by the caller after the request went out is reported the same way (only the wait was cancelled), while a real 4xx or 5xx answer, a connection that could not be made at all, a verb that threw before returning a promise, and a cancellation already in place before the call (nothing is sent) carry no such key. An installed target is copied by value when a call resolves it, so a delayed or retried compaction still goes to the engine and credentials it was resolved against even if the host's target object changes meanwhile, and a verb that throws synchronously is classified exactly like one that rejects. The resume failure classifier that hosts reuse for their own direct calls makes the same judgement from the same single source, so every client renders it the same way. A successful sub-agent steer carries the server's acceptance id (`messageId`) only when the receipt holds a non-empty string; older servers leave it out. |

It resolves its client through the same single construction point as the other engine verbs (a host-supplied client, or the installed engine target for the chosen session slot) and sends nothing unless the engine has declared the stop face (`background.exitFaces` strictly `true`) under the capability key that applies: evidence that is missing or unread, an older engine without the face, a malformed flag, a flag found only on the prototype chain, or evidence recorded for a different deployment all end in `unavailable` with zero requests. The request body on the wire is exactly `{"includeRetained": <boolean>}` whatever object the caller passes. A 200 answer returns the receipts verbatim (identifier and outcome word; a row whose word it does not recognise is kept with that word as it is, so the host can still name it and the companion below sorts it as may still be running), counts rows whose identifier or word it cannot read instead of inventing them, and leaves the receipt list absent rather than empty when the body cannot be read. Refusals are sorted by machine code before HTTP status (missing service credential, no ownership face, unknown session versus missing route on the same 404, request shape, not permitted, rate limited with the server's wait hint, anything else), a server failure is an `error`, and each call sends exactly one request even through a client configured to retry. A request that may have reached the engine but got no answer — a time limit, a connection that dropped after the request went out, or a cancellation by the caller after the request went out — carries `unconfirmed: true`, while a real answer, a connection that never opened, or a cancellation already in place before the call (nothing is sent) does not. Malformed arguments, options, connections, clients, capability records, answer bodies and error objects never throw and never leave an unhandled rejection, and a planted token never reaches a log line or a result. A pure companion (`engineSessionBackgroundReceiptReadingOf`, with the frozen state list `ENGINE_SESSION_BACKGROUND_RECEIPT_STATES` derived from its wording table) sorts each receipt word into stopped, still running (kept on purpose) or may still be running, with one fixed sentence per state so every client says the same thing: each of the four words lands in its state, while any word it does not recognise — a future word, a different letter case, stray whitespace, a near spelling, a prototype-chain name — lands in may still be running with the word carried back verbatim, and non-string input (boxed strings and objects with their own `toString` included) lands there too without being coerced and without throwing; it never reports stopped for anything it cannot confirm. The three sentences differ, the two that are not stopped never use the word stop, and the state list and the states actually produced match in both directions. |

 | `scripts/run-mandated-card-values-test.mjs` | Approval cards that newer servers mark as mandatory for four kinds of question (a deployment command policy, an operator's never-auto list, an exhausted durable budget, and supervisor routing) are built with the server's own code and fed through both card paths: the card carries the mandatory mark and the matching reason word, the shared check reports it as mandatory, no mandate word is invented, and a session-wide allow that the server declines to remember produces the single not-remembered notice. An ordinary approval-list card stays non-mandatory and remembered, and the older card shapes are shown to read the other way. This check needs an installed server package to run and reports itself as skipped otherwise. |
 | `scripts/run-park-failed-reason-projection-test.mjs` | The fail-soft true cause when a parked approval cannot be decided and the engine's own `done{suspended}` terminal is the one handed back: that terminal is still returned as-is (no second terminal), but it carries `_sema_park_failed_reason` — the same sentence, byte for byte, that the durable leg puts on its synthesized terminal — and the result frame carries it through with credentials washed the same way `errors[]` is (value only; same sentence as the durable leg after washing). The key is left off when this host has no decision surface at all (no approval card port, a port installed under another session key, or no question overlay): that sentence's way out is to decide on the card, which such a host never shows. Pinned with a policy-fold refusal on decide, both stall exits, a host-retracted card, credential samples through the full bridge on both legs, the no-decision-surface forms, and the absent forms (user interrupt, malformed values, ordinary terminals). |
-| `scripts/run-tool-history-mismatch-projection-test.mjs` | When a provider rejects every request of a session because a tool call in the conversation history no longer pairs up with its result, the terminal error row carries a machine-readable key naming the kind of mismatch and the first tool call id the provider named; a host that offers the rewind command gets the same recovery sentence CC shows (unless that host names the engine and the engine reports it cannot rewind the conversation), plus a count from the second time in a row, while the print and utility lanes, hosts without that command, and the result frame's error text stay unchanged. Only the run's own failure is read, never assistant text, and only when the provider sentence opens the provider's message: other statuses, other 400s and quoted copies do not match. The count is per session and per run, ignores replays, resets on any other outcome and never overstates when it cannot tell; the row-resolving helper that finds the prompt to go back before is checked for the target, the first-turn case and every undecidable case. The check also feeds outcomes built and published by an installed server package when one is available and reports that part as skipped otherwise. |

The error carrier the package mints for a terminal is the same one the failure line is judged on, so handing it to the edit-and-resend reading makes that reading yield exactly when the line carries the mismatch key, across thirty-one terminal shapes including accessor and inherited fields, governance and busy endings among them; the failure line and the carrier are derived from one reading of the frame, so a field whose answer changes between reads cannot make the line and its key disagree, and an empty error sentence yields neither a line nor a carrier. The check also feeds outcomes built and published by an installed server package when one is available and reports that part as skipped otherwise. |
 | `scripts/run-display-untrusted-baseline-diff-test.mjs` | The credential side of the display outlet (`displayUntrusted` and `washCredentials`), diffed byte for byte against the previous published release: five input pools (seeded random strings, exhaustive shapes around labels, quoted values, userinfo, schemes and invisible units, and URL parameters separated by `;` or `,`) run through fifteen outlets. A secret the previous release masked must stay masked wherever it sits in a credential position; the outlet with only the URL net enabled is judged within that net's own reach. Clean lines from the package's own documents pass through unchanged, and every outlet is idempotent (masking the output again changes nothing). The previous release tarball is supplied through `SEMA_DU_BASELINE_TGZ`; without it the diff sections report as skipped and the run counts as partial, not green. The minimal-shape pool also carries scheme-less userinfo whose password holds a quote or angle bracket after a credential label, and the shapes that once washed differently on a second pass. A full-product grammar pool of 64,512 strings joins the idempotence check, and every pool is also checked for the credential stage reaching its pass cap (it must never do so). The pools now include the bare `token` scheme-word forms and a full `token` grammar product, so the new wash is held to the same idempotence and no-regression bars against the previous release. They also include label and `bearer` / `basic` values that run into a `token` scheme word, a non-ASCII space and an address, with or without a leading character, and quoted values where `token` and an address follow `bearer`. |
 | `scripts/run-registry-conflict-projection-test.mjs` | How a client tells the two meanings of a registry write conflict apart. The registry answers the same 409 when a write merely lost an optimistic-lock race (re-read, re-base, write once more) and when the space being written was deleted, or deleted and re-created under the same name, while the write was in flight (nothing was written, and a re-read would return the replacement space, so a retry would put an old draft into a space nobody reviewed). The package ships the same three-word classification the newer SDK uses under the same name, plus a predicate for caught errors, because the SDK version this package supports does not have them yet. The guard checks every status and body combination against the newer SDK's own function when that SDK is available, checks the predicate against the newer SDK's own error classes, reads every 409 the registry service mints from its source when that tree is available and replays the resulting bodies, and checks that unreadable bodies never throw and never classify as the retryable kind. The parts that need the newer SDK or the registry source report as skipped when those are absent. |
-| `scripts/run-prompt-delivery-projection-test.mjs` | Whether a user message actually reached the engine, judged once for every client. A ledger records, per message id and per submitted batch, that a submission entered the submit path and whether the engine created a run for it: a stream frame from the new run counts, a later accepted steer into the running run counts, while the session-busy refusal does not, and neither do the frames a server writes before creating the run (the stream-head `meta` frame and replays of approval cards still pending from earlier runs), which arrive ahead of that refusal. Both sets only grow, so the answers do not depend on arrival order, replays or repeats; a message never seen on the submit path is reported as unknown rather than undelivered. Two row-level readers filter side-channel payloads (only messages known to be undelivered are removed, everything else is kept in order). Records serialize one per line in the shape hosts already persist. The check also replays the exact frames an installed server package writes for a busy session through the real SDK stream parser when one is available and reports that part as skipped otherwise. The idempotent-replay form of the busy-session refusal (the raw conflict body without a status, sent when a host reuses an idempotency key while the first submission is still in flight) does not count as delivered either. |

The idempotent-replay form of the busy-session refusal (the raw conflict body without a status, sent when a host reuses an idempotency key while the first submission is still in flight) does not count as delivered either. Since 0.90.0 the check also feeds the delivery frames a steer now produces (a queued frame and an applied frame on one input id, which equals the message id on the receipt): the first records delivery, the second changes nothing, replays and reversed order give the same records, and the answer does not depend on whether the input id equals the message id, differs from it, or is absent. The ledger object itself also carries the two row-level readers as methods bound to it, `knownUndeliveredMessage(message)` and `withoutUndelivered(messages)`, which answer exactly what the two free functions answer for that ledger on every input shape: a bare string is not a message row, so it is judged false, and that is why the row-level method does not reuse the name of the id-keyed `knownUndelivered(uuid)`. They keep answering when taken off the ledger, when the ledger is copied, and after it is frozen, they read the ledger as it is now, and a ledger rebuilt from stored records carries them too. The check also compiles the installed declaration file against positive and negative type examples, including a hand-written nine-member ledger stand-in that must still be accepted by the two free functions (their ledger parameter only needs the id-keyed reader). |
 | `scripts/run-session-memory-erase-projection-test.mjs` | The session owner's memory erase (`eraseSessionMemory`, with the pure judge `sessionMemoryEraseOutcome`): one call sends exactly one request to erase what a session contributed to memory, with a body of exactly the request id plus the unevidenced-erase consent only when the caller gives it as a boolean (never added when absent, and no other key the caller passes reaches the wire); a dot-segment session id is refused locally. The connection takes the same configuration as the engine client factory, and the outbound headers are compared byte for byte with a client that factory builds for every credential form (string, per-request value function, a value function that returns nothing or throws, empty, same-origin relay, loopback without a token, blank or missing principal); a token-bearing connection in a browser host sends nothing. Malformed arguments, options and connections never throw and send nothing. A request that may have reached the engine without a readable answer (time limit, a connection dropped after the request went out or while the body was read, a cancellation after sending, an unreadable response) is reported as no answer, while a connection that never opened, a cancellation before sending or a synchronous fetch failure is reported as not sent. The judge sorts each answer into erased, partly erased, refused (nothing was erased: not sent, or a named engine code issued before any change) or not confirmed (no answer, an unreadable receipt or one for a different request or session, a refusal with two possible meanings, an unrecognised code, or a non-success status without the engine's own error code; a code found only on the prototype chain does not count), by machine code before HTTP status, with one fixed sentence per outcome and a retry posture; a caller who gave the unevidenced consent always gets a person decides on the not confirmed outcomes. Receipts are read with the existing erase receipt reader. The closed lists are frozen, derived from the wording tables and equal to what the judge produces; sentences differ, refusals always say nothing was erased, and none copies a server sentence. The check also boots installed server packages of the current and the previous generation, when available, with their real dispatcher and handler and the engine's real file memory store, and drives the call against them: real receipts and replays, a request id reused on another session, a store without erase evidence with and without consent, unknown and foreign sessions, missing credentials, missing faces, malformed bodies and the coded refusals; the previous generation's untyped internal errors are judged not confirmed. The unevidenced-erase consent counts only when it is the caller's own property (an inherited one is never sent), a session id that cannot be encoded into the path is refused locally without a request and without a rejection, and a signal-shaped object that is not a real abort signal is refused as bad input. |
 | `scripts/run-disable-skills-wire-test.mjs` | The request field that turns off every skill for one request (the deployment's skills, skills the client sends and skills listed on agent definitions). It is carried on the two user lanes only as the literal true; false or an absent value sends nothing, and any other value is refused before anything is sent. A request that also carries a non-empty skill list, or an agent definition with skills, is refused by name both when it is built and again after agent definitions are added later, because the engine rejects that combination. The value reaches a request only through a helper that reads the engine's capability report: when the engine has not reported the capability, reports it as unavailable, has not been read yet, or reports it in a form that cannot be read, nothing is sent (an engine that does not know the field rejects the whole request) and the caller receives the reason plus one sentence saying skills stay on for this run. Requests that do not use the field are byte-identical to the previous release. |
+| `scripts/run-permissions-declaration-test.mjs` | The request-side assembly of permission rules (`permissionsDeclaration`): the deny, ask and allow lists the client resolved from its settings become the `settings.permissions` fragment of a request. Every list is ordered by where each rule came from (managed policy first, then command-line flags, the settings flag, the session, user, local and project settings, and rules of unknown origin last) and filtered by the same judges the engine uses, so a rule the engine would refuse does not turn a whole request into an error — the judges are the client's installed engine functions, so the server can still refuse the whole request when its engine version differs from the client's, when a judge fails on one rule and that deny or ask rule goes through unchecked, or when a list is longer than the engine's limit. A whole-server or whole-peer rule (`mcp__<server>`, `a2a__<peer>`; one rule for every protocol prefix the installed engine knows) is rewritten to the same name followed by `__*`, after checking, protocol by protocol, that the engine judges both forms alike and that every tested server generation accepts the rewritten form. A whole tool name that the engine's rule compiler refuses (for example one containing a closing parenthesis or a backslash) is kept on the client as well, whether or not the rule was rewritten, so every rule sent has passed the same judge; this is checked on generated rule strings and differs from the previous terminal's behaviour in exactly that one registered class. Allow rules are sent only when the engine reports, through one capability position read by `observedPermissionsAllowGrant`, that it reads allow rules as rules rather than as an exclusive list; an engine that does not say so may read an allow list as the only tools permitted, so nothing is sent and approvals keep being answered on the client side. A sent allow rule records that someone answered for the tool; it does not waive the prompts the engine raises on its own, and allow rules with a content pattern are never sent. An empty list is never sent, missing rule judges raise an error instead of sending unchecked rules (a judge that is present but fails on a rule is the exception above), the diagnostic sentence is derived from the same judgement as the sending decision and never throws, and inputs with inherited or malformed fields, or rule lists whose gaps are filled from a modified array prototype, are refused rather than silently losing a rule. |
+| `scripts/run-file-history-leg-notice-test.mjs` | What a client says after the engine reports, for one run, whether it is capturing file history. A five-way verdict combines the engine's capture capability, whether this run's submitted request actually carried the per-run opt-out, whether the user turned file checkpoints off, and the word reported for the run; only two outcomes produce a sentence (the run carried the opt-out and the engine still captures, or the engine says capture cannot be turned off per session), each with its conclusion first so a truncated status line still reads. The guard pins every one of the 72 cells of the verdict table, sweeps alternative spellings and malformed values for each input, checks that an unreadable capability never produces a sentence while a carried opt-out is judged without consulting the capability, and that inherited input properties are ignored. A process-local ledger records, per submission, whether the outbound request body carried the opt-out (only a plain own data property counts; a body with its own serialisation hook or an accessor for that key is read as unknown, so a fact is never recorded that the sent JSON could contradict) and binds the submission to its run only on a frame proving the run was created, using the same rule as the prompt-delivery ledger, so session-busy refusals and replayed approval cards carrying another run's id never attach this submission's fact to that run; answers do not depend on call order, conflicting records read as unknown, and runs this process never bound read as unknown. An end-to-end section sends real requests through the SDK stream parser to a local stub and drives the reported word through the projection and adapter layers to the verdict. A body whose property descriptor and property read disagree (a proxy), or that carries any enumerable getter, reads as unknown, because serialization runs those getters and may drop the field; a value that is a non-null object (a wrapped string, an object with its own serialisation hook) also reads as unknown, since what it serialises to cannot be proved. |
+| `scripts/run-support-floor-projection-test.mjs` | The package's machine-readable support floor: the oldest server, engine and SDK versions it still supports, kept in `scripts/support-floor.json` with the source of each value and exported at runtime as `SUPPORT_FLOOR` (with `supportFloorOf` and the engine version reading `engineVersionTier`). The check fails when the declaration cannot be read or is malformed, when the exported values differ from it, when the SDK value differs from the SDK peer range, and (when the full fixture set is required) when no server fixture in the list matches the declared server version or that server pins and installs a different engine than declared; every fixture in the list is printed with whether it sits below, at or above the floor. The version reading answers engine at and above the floor, legacy below it and unknown for anything that is not a plain release version (pre-releases, build metadata, a leading v, whitespace, wrong segment counts, leading zeros, the word unknown, non-strings); a caller-supplied threshold can only raise the floor, a malformed one is refused before any version is read, and hostile inputs never throw. |
+| `scripts/run-server-7113-fixture-test.mjs` | Adoption checks against the published server package, run once per server generation (the one that carries the change and the one just before it). Session reads, live steer and policy settlement are driven through the package's real routes and modules; the attachment checks read the package's shipped source text instead. Attachments: the keys the server's shipped shape description lists are exactly the keys this package knows, the server's shipped refusal for the retired plan-mode reminder key names its retirement, every value this package's attachment switch can produce stays inside the accepted set, and naming the retired key is refused locally instead of being sent. Session reads: a non-owner reading a session's detail, head or event stream gets a not-found whose code names the session (the previous generation named a run), and this package's session read answers the same way on both. Live steer: without an idempotency key the engine's input id equals the message id on the receipt, a queued frame and an applied frame on one input id each project as their own event with every field as written, and the delivery ledger records delivery once. Policy settlement: an unattended answer by class is recorded under the policy party as an allow settled by policy, read back verbatim, no longer read as a person's approval, and a tool-end frame carrying it still projects. |
+| `scripts/run-server-7114-fixture-test.mjs` | Adoption checks against the published server package's real task admission, run on every configured server package (the newest one and each older one in the list), each held to an exact expectation for its generation. From 7.114.0, a tool-event hook matcher that selects a tool's alias but not its current name is refused with a field-invalid error naming both names, in every spelling the server reads (literal, pattern, padded, comma list, pipe list, empty segment), and a matcher that also selects the current name is accepted; 7.113 refuses only the literal and the pipe-list spellings; 7.111 and older accept all nine. A server generation outside the table fails the check instead of being guessed, and with fixtures required each generation band must be covered. This package passes the matcher through byte for byte, the request it assembles gets the same answer from the server as the hand-written one, and its local skip check keys on the matcher as written. |
 
 Each suite carries a floor that only moves up — a refactor that stops executing a group of
