-# maturity: test -> experimental (2026/08/05). `test` is the ALERT lane
-# (src/quality/rule-contract.ts laneAllows: alert = stable + test), i.e. the
-# analyst/correlation queue. This rule matches 51.2% of the benign gate corpus
-# (see wild_fp_rate below), which is not a detection — it is alarm fatigue, and a
-# lane whose alerts are wrong half the time trains the analyst to close the queue
-# unread. `experimental` keeps the rule loadable and measurable in the hunt
-# (advisory) lane while it is out of anyone's alert path. It is NOT deprecated:
-# it does carry signal (105 attack hits across the 1,657-sample attack corpora).
-# What it needs is a redesign, not retirement — see the per-condition breakdown
