+# DI seams plan — replace `mock.module` with swap-and-restore module seams
+
+Branch: `refactor/di-seams`
+
+> **Implementation note (added later):** this plan has landed — the seam
+> pattern (`_set…ForTests` delegators, `tests/_helpers/seams.ts`,
+> `overrideSeam`/`withSeam`) is in production use (e.g.
+> `_setChatCompletionForTests` in `src/llm/client.ts`, consumed by multiple
+> test files), `mock.module(` no longer appears as live code anywhere under
+> `tests/` (only two historical comments reference the retired pattern), and
+> `src/indexer/db/db.ts` — flagged below as needing its stale mock deleted —
+> no longer exists at all; its functionality (`openIndexDatabase`) now lives
+> in `src/storage/repositories/index-connection.ts`. Several of the specific
+> test file paths named per-module below were renamed or consolidated by a
+> later, unrelated test reorganization; those are annotated in place rather
+> than silently repointed, since this document's per-module breakdown is
+> itself the historical record of how the migration was planned.
+
+## Guardrails (binding, non-negotiable)
+
+This workstream was previously done wrong (~900 dependency-injection parameter
+threads, reverted). The rules for THIS attempt:
+
+- **Swap-and-restore, not parameter threading.** Model: `withMockedFetch` in
+  `tests/_helpers/sandbox.ts` (swap `globalThis.fetch` → run → finally-restore)
+  and `src/storage/database.ts`'s "plain module, not an adapter layer" stance.
+- Each seamed module keeps its normal exports. Internally the exported function
+  delegates through one module-level binding. The module gains exactly ONE small
+  test-only override function (`_set…ForTests(fake | undefined)`); passing
+  `undefined` restores the real implementation.
+- **Zero changes to production call sites.** No context objects, no new
+  parameters on existing functions, no interfaces/ports/adapters, no factories,
+  no new wrapper modules. If a module seems to need call-site changes, STOP.
+- Net diff per module: tens of lines in `src`, offset by deleted `mock.module`
+  boilerplate in tests.
+- The override function is inert unless a test calls it. Production behavior is
+  byte-identical.
+
+## The seam pattern (canonical shape)
+
+For a module exporting `foo(a, b)`:
+
+```ts
+// ── Test seam ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+// Swap-and-restore override. Inert in production; only tests call the setter.
+let fooOverride: typeof fooReal | undefined;
+
+/** TEST-ONLY. Swap the implementation of `foo`; pass undefined to restore. */
+export function _setFooForTests(fake?: typeof fooReal): void {
+  fooOverride = fake;
+}
+
+export function foo(a: A, b: B): R {
+  if (fooOverride) return fooOverride(a, b);
+  return fooReal(a, b);
+}
+
+function fooReal(a: A, b: B): R {
+  // …existing body, renamed, NOT exported…
+}
+```
+
+Notes on the shape:
+
+- The existing exported function body is renamed to a private `…Real` function;
+  the export becomes a 2-line delegator. Importers see the identical signature.
+- Intra-module calls to the exported name (e.g. `client.ts` calls its own
+  `chatCompletion` from `probeCapabilities`) go through the delegator too.
+  This is a *superset* of what `mock.module` guarantees for internal callers
+  and matches the tests' intent (no network, ever).
+- One setter per module. When a module has several overridable exports, the
+  setter takes a partial overrides object (see per-module specs) — still ONE
+  test-only export, one internal binding.
+- Naming convention: `_set<Thing>ForTests`, prefixed `_` so the
+  it's self-evidently not public API. Never call it from `src`.
+
+## Shared test helper — `tests/_helpers/seams.ts` (new file, ~40 lines)
+
+```ts
+// tests/_helpers/seams.ts
+type SeamSetter<T> = (fake: T | undefined) => void;
+
+/** Setters that currently hold a fake; drained by resetAllSeams(). */
+const active = new Set<SeamSetter<unknown>>();
+
+/**
+ * Install a fake for the current test. Restoration is automatic: the
+ * tests/_preload.ts afterEach calls resetAllSeams(). Use this for
+ * file-scoped or beforeEach-scoped fakes (the common case, mirroring
+ * today's top-of-file mock.module blocks).
+ */
+export function overrideSeam<T>(set: SeamSetter<T>, fake: T): void {
+  set(fake);
+  active.add(set as SeamSetter<unknown>);
+}
+
+/** Scoped swap → run → finally-restore, for fakes needed in one test only. */
+export async function withSeam<T, R>(
+  set: SeamSetter<T>,
+  fake: T,
+  run: () => R | Promise<R>,
+): Promise<R> {
+  set(fake);
+  active.add(set as SeamSetter<unknown>);
+  try {
+    return await run();
+  } finally {
+    set(undefined);
+    active.delete(set as SeamSetter<unknown>);
+  }
+}
+
+/** Safety net: restore every active seam. Called by tests/_preload.ts. */
+export function resetAllSeams(): void {
+  for (const set of active) set(undefined);
+  active.clear();
+}
+```
+
+### Wiring into `tests/_preload.ts`
+
+Two one-line additions to the existing harness (no new lifecycle machinery):
+
+1. `resetSingletons()` (tests/_preload.ts:294) gains `resetAllSeams();` — a
+   leaked seam from a previous file is cleared before every test, exactly like
+   `resetConfigCache()` / `resetLocalEmbedder()` today.
+2. The existing `afterEach` (tests/_preload.ts:329) gains `resetAllSeams();`
+   so a fake never survives past the test that installed it.
+
+Because tests always install fakes via `overrideSeam`/`withSeam`, the preload
+needs no knowledge of individual `_set…ForTests` functions — the registry is
+the reset list. A test that calls a `_set…ForTests` setter directly (bypassing
+the helper) is a review-reject; grep-able (`_set.*ForTests` outside
+`tests/_helpers/seams.ts` usage must go through the helper).
+
+Typical file migration shape (replaces a top-of-file `mock.module` block):
+
+```ts
+import { overrideSeam } from "../_helpers/seams";
+import { _setChatCompletionForTests } from "../../src/llm/client";
+
+let chatResponder: (userContent: string) => string | Promise<string> = () => "";
+
+beforeEach(() => {
+  overrideSeam(_setChatCompletionForTests, async (_conn, messages) => {
+    const user = messages.find((m) => m.role === "user");
+    return chatResponder(user?.content ?? "");
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Static imports of the module under test become safe again (no more
+"`mock.module` must run before the module under test is imported" ordering
+comments, no more dynamic-import contortions).
+
+---
+
+## Per-module seam designs
+
+Ordered for sequential implementation, most-used-by-tests first. Implement one
+module per commit: add seam → migrate its test files → delete the
+`mock.module` blocks → gate green → commit.
+
+### 0. Helper first: `tests/_helpers/seams.ts` + `tests/_preload.ts` wiring
+
+As specified above. Land with module 1 (the helper is exercised immediately).
+
+### 1. `src/llm/client` — 5 test files (easiest, highest fan-out)
+
+- **Binding**: `let chatCompletionOverride: ChatCompletionFn | undefined;` next
+  to `chatCompletion` (client.ts:263). Real body → private `chatCompletionReal`.
+- **Hook**:
+  ```ts
+  export function _setChatCompletionForTests(fake?: typeof chatCompletion): void;
+  ```
+- Internal callers at client.ts:445 (`isLlmAvailable`) and :463
+  (`probeCapabilities`-adjacent) route through the delegator — intended.
+- **Test migration** (all five spread the real module and override only
+  `chatCompletion`; the spread + `mock.module` block deletes, the responder
+  var + `overrideSeam` call replaces it):
+  - `tests/indexer/staleness-detect.test.ts` — deterministic validator fake →
+    `overrideSeam(_setChatCompletionForTests, fake)` in `beforeEach`. *(This
+    path no longer exists; no equivalently-named test was found by a later
+    search of `tests/indexer/` and `tests/integration/indexer/`.)*
+  - `tests/llm/memory-infer.test.ts` — `chatResponder` + `chatCalls` counter
+    pattern translates directly (see canonical migration above).
+  - `tests/llm/metadata-enhance.test.ts` — same shape.
+  - `tests/integration/commands/reflect-response-schema.test.ts` — same shape.
+    (Landed under `tests/integration/commands/`, not `tests/commands/`.)
+  - `tests/commands/consolidate/consolidate-judged-cache.test.ts` — same shape
+    (`chatCalls` recording preserved by the fake closure). *(This path no
+    longer exists; `tests/commands/consolidate/goldens-consolidate-journal.test.ts`
+    and `tests/commands/consolidate/goldens-consolidate-ops.test.ts` both use
+    `_setChatCompletionForTests` today and are the closest surviving
+    candidates, but neither is confirmed as this file's direct successor.)*
+- No module state, no extra reset needed beyond the registry.
+
+### 2. `src/core/warn` — 3 test files
+
+The module already has real hooks for all its *state*
+(`setQuiet/resetQuiet/setVerbose/resetVerbose/setLogFile/clearLogFile`). Tests
+mock it only to **capture output**. So the seam is a single sink intercept,
+not 13 overridable functions:
+
+- **Binding** (warn.ts, next to `quiet`/`verbose`/`logFilePath` at :20-22):
+  ```ts
+  export type WarnSinkForTests = (
+    level: "info" | "warn" | "error" | "warnVerbose",
+    args: unknown[],
+  ) => void;
+  let sinkOverride: WarnSinkForTests | undefined;
+  ```
+- **Hook**:
+  ```ts
+  export function _setWarnSinkForTests(fake?: WarnSinkForTests): void;
+  ```
+- Each of `info`/`warn`/`error`/`warnVerbose` gets a first line:
+  `if (sinkOverride) { sinkOverride("<level>", args); return; }`
+  Interception happens **before** the quiet/verbose gates — deliberately
+  matching today's `mock.module` full-replacement semantics (the existing
+  fakes capture every call regardless of flags). All other exports
+  (`setQuiet`, `isVerbose`, `getLogFile`, …) stay untouched — the real hooks
+  already serve tests.
+- **Test migration**:
+  - `tests/llm/memory-infer.test.ts` — spread + override of `warn` →
+    `overrideSeam(_setWarnSinkForTests, (level, args) => { if (level === "warn") warnCalls.push(join(args)); })`.
+  - `tests/llm/metadata-enhance.test.ts` — same, also captures `warnVerbose`
+    level.
+  - `tests/agent/agent-builders.test.ts` — currently reimplements ALL 13
+    exports with parallel `mockedQuiet`/`mockedVerbose`/`mockedLogFile` state.
+    Migration = delete the whole reimplementation; use the REAL module's
+    `setQuiet`/`setVerbose` hooks for flag control plus the sink to capture
+    `warnings`. Assertions about gating move from "did console.warn fire" to
+    "what the sink captured + real `isQuiet()`/`isVerbose()`". Largest test
+    rewrite in this group but pure subtraction (~60 lines of fake module
+    deleted).
+
+### 3. `src/llm/embedder` — 3 test files
+
+Facade module; several mocked names are re-exports of pure constants/math
+that need **no seam** (`DEFAULT_LOCAL_MODEL` constant, `cosineSimilarity`
+math — the real ones satisfy every test).
+
+- **Binding** (embedder.ts, after the `_localEmbedder` singleton at :50):
+  ```ts
+  interface EmbedderOverridesForTests {
+    embed?: typeof embed;
+    embedBatch?: typeof embedBatch;
+    resolveEmbeddingModelId?: typeof resolveEmbeddingModelId;
+    checkEmbeddingAvailability?: typeof checkEmbeddingAvailability;
+    isTransformersAvailable?: () => boolean;
+  }
+  let embedderOverrides: EmbedderOverridesForTests | undefined;
+  ```
+- **Hook**:
+  ```ts
+  export function _setEmbedderForTests(fakes?: EmbedderOverridesForTests): void;
+  ```
+- Delegation: each listed export gains
+  `if (embedderOverrides?.embedBatch) return embedderOverrides.embedBatch(...)`
+  as its first line (bodies are already thin dispatchers; no `…Real` rename
+  needed except `isTransformersAvailable`, which is currently a re-export from
+  `./embedders/local` (embedder.ts:39) and must become a 3-line delegating
+  wrapper in the facade — importers unchanged).
+- **Implementation-time check**: grep that consumers under these tests import
+  from the facade (`src/llm/embedder`), not `./embedders/local` directly; a
+  direct submodule import bypasses the facade seam. (indexer and setup do use
+  the facade per the facade's own doc comment.)
+- **Test migration**:
+  - `tests/integration/indexer.test.ts` — spreads real via specifier
+    `'../../src/llm/embedder.js'` with a mutable `embedBatch` impl var →
+    `overrideSeam(_setEmbedderForTests, { embedBatch: (...) => impl(...) })`.
+    Kills the `.js`-specifier fragility entirely. *(This flat path no longer
+    exists; indexer tests now live under `tests/indexer/` and
+    `tests/integration/indexer/` as multiple smaller files.)*
+  - `tests/commands/improve/dedup-cache-wiring.test.ts` — mocks
+    `{embedBatch, resolveEmbeddingModelId, cosineSimilarity}` WITHOUT
+    spreading → seam `{embedBatch, resolveEmbeddingModelId}`; real
+    `cosineSimilarity` is used as-is. Deletes the "mock.module must run before
+    import" dance; `dedup` can be statically imported. *(This path no longer
+    exists; `tests/integration/commands/consolidate/consolidate-promote-dedup.test.ts`
+    is the closest surviving dedup-focused test but is not confirmed as this
+    file's direct successor.)*
+  - `tests/integration/setup-run.test.ts` — replaces with only
+    `{DEFAULT_LOCAL_MODEL, isTransformersAvailable, checkEmbeddingAvailability}`
+    → seam `{isTransformersAvailable, checkEmbeddingAvailability}`; real
+    `DEFAULT_LOCAL_MODEL`.
+- Existing state hooks (`resetLocalEmbedder`, `clearEmbeddingCache`) already
+  run in `_preload.ts:resetSingletons` — unchanged.
+
+### 4. `@huggingface/transformers` — 2 test files (seam lives in src, NOT the package)
+
+Third-party, but the ONLY consumer is the dynamic
+`await import("@huggingface/transformers")` inside
+`LocalEmbedder.getPipeline` (src/llm/embedders/local.ts:220). That import is a
+perfect internal binding:
+
+- **Binding** (embedders/local.ts, module level):
+  ```ts
+  type TransformersLoader = () => Promise<{ pipeline: unknown }>;
+  const realTransformersLoader: TransformersLoader = () =>
+    import("@huggingface/transformers") as Promise<{ pipeline: unknown }>;
+  let transformersLoader: TransformersLoader = realTransformersLoader;
+  ```
+- **Hook**:
+  ```ts
+  export function _setTransformersLoaderForTests(fake?: TransformersLoader): void {
+    transformersLoader = fake ?? realTransformersLoader;
+  }
+  ```
+  Re-export from the facade `src/llm/embedder.ts` so tests import one module.
+- `getPipeline` replaces the inline `await import(...)` with
+  `await transformersLoader()`. The MODULE_NOT_FOUND error-shaping branch
+  (local.ts:222-241) is untouched — a fake loader that throws a
+  `Cannot find module` error still exercises the binary-hint path.
+- **Test migration**: `tests/integration/embedder.test.ts` and
+  `tests/integration/embedding-model-config.test.ts` both mock
+  `{pipeline}` today and already call `resetLocalEmbedder()` in `beforeEach`
+  (required — the cached `pipelinePromise` must not carry a previous loader's
+  result; the preload also resets it). Their fake `pipeline` factory moves
+  verbatim into `overrideSeam(_setTransformersLoaderForTests, async () => ({ pipeline: fakePipeline }))`.
+- `isTransformersAvailable` (local.ts:289, `resolveModule` probe) is NOT
+  seamed here; the facade seam from module 3 covers the one test that fakes it.
+
+### 5. `src/setup/registry-stash-loader` — 1 test file
+
+- **Binding**: real body of `loadSetupStashes` (registry-stash-loader.ts:82)
+  → private `loadSetupStashesReal`; exported delegator.
+- **Hook**:
+  ```ts
+  export function _setLoadSetupStashesForTests(fake?: typeof loadSetupStashes): void;
+  ```
+- `DEFAULT_SELECTED_STASH_IDS` is a plain exported const — no seam; the test's
+  mocked copy is deleted and the real constant used.
+- **Test migration**: `tests/setup-wizard.test.ts:64` block →
+  `overrideSeam(_setLoadSetupStashesForTests, async () => fakeStashEntries)`.
+  (Alternative considered: `withMockedFetch` against the real fetch path —
+  rejected: couples the test to the registry JSON wire shape for no gain.)
+  NOTE: setup-wizard.test.ts also fakes `@clack/prompts` — originally deferred
+  as a kept `mock.module`, now migrated onto the `src/cli/clack` seam (see the
+  resolved deferred section at the bottom).
+
+### 6. `src/tasks/backends` — 1 test file
+
+`selectBackend(options)` already accepts injected backends
+(src/tasks/backends/index.ts:59-69) but production callers invoke it with no
+args — threading a fake backend through `akmTasksAdd` would be a call-site
+change (forbidden). Module seam instead:
+
+- **Binding** (index.ts):
+  ```ts
+  interface BackendsOverridesForTests {
+    selectBackend?: typeof selectBackend;
+    backendNameForPlatform?: typeof backendNameForPlatform;
+  }
+  let backendsOverrides: BackendsOverridesForTests | undefined;
+  ```
+- **Hook**:
+  ```ts
+  export function _setBackendsForTests(fakes?: BackendsOverridesForTests): void;
+  ```
+  Both exports gain a first-line delegation check (bodies are small switches;
+  no rename needed).
+- **Test migration**: `tests/integration/commands/tasks-write-target.test.ts` →
+  `overrideSeam(_setBackendsForTests, { selectBackend: () => fakeBackend, backendNameForPlatform: () => "cron" })`.
+  (Landed under `tests/integration/commands/`, not `tests/commands/`.)
+
+### 7-14. The `tests/integration/setup-run.test.ts` cluster (one file, 74 `mock.module` calls across 9 near-identical blocks)
+
+This file repeats the same ~10 mocks in every test block. Migrate it LAST, in
+one pass, after all seams below exist. Each block's mock stanza collapses to a
+single `installSetupSeams(overrides)` local helper (test-file-local function
+calling `overrideSeam` per seam) — deleting ~600 lines of repeated mock
+boilerplate. Per module:
+
+#### 7. `src/core/config/config` — NO SEAM (subtract the mock)
+
+`resetConfigCache()` exists (config.ts:124) and already runs in the preload.
+The module is XDG-env-driven and the sandbox helpers
+(`withIsolatedAkmStorage` / `sandboxXdgConfigHome` in tests/_helpers/sandbox.ts)
+already isolate it. Migration: delete the mock; let the wizard read/write the
+REAL config in the sandboxed XDG home. Assertions on "what was saved" read the
+config file (or `loadUserConfig()`) from the sandbox instead of spying on
+`saveConfig`. Fallback ONLY if an assertion truly needs call interception: a
+minimal `_setSaveConfigForTests` — decide during implementation, default is
+no seam.
+
+#### 8. `src/core/paths` — NO SEAM (subtract the mock)
+
+Pure functions of `process.env`; `getConfigDir`/`getDataDir` already take
+`(env, platform)`. With sandboxed XDG env vars the mock is dead weight.
+Migration: delete the mock block; assert against the sandbox paths.
+
+#### 9. `src/setup/detect` — seam for the two network/host probes
+
+- **Binding** (detect.ts):
+  ```ts
+  interface DetectOverridesForTests {
+    detectOllama?: typeof detectOllama;
+    detectAgentPlatforms?: typeof detectAgentPlatforms;
+  }
+  let detectOverrides: DetectOverridesForTests | undefined;
+  ```
+- **Hook**: `export function _setDetectForTests(fakes?: DetectOverridesForTests): void;`
+- `detectOllama` (detect.ts:44, network probe) and `detectAgentPlatforms`
+  (detect.ts:157, host scan) get first-line delegation. `detectLMStudio`,
+  `scanProviderEnvVars` (already env-injected), `pickDefaultModel` untouched.
+
+#### 10. `src/commands/sources/init` — seam for `akmInit`
+
+Single export, no state. Real body → `akmInitReal`; delegator +
+`export function _setAkmInitForTests(fake?: typeof akmInit): void;`.
+
+#### 11. `src/indexer/indexer` — seam for `akmIndex`
+
+Today's full-module replacement leaves every OTHER export (e.g.
+`buildFileBasenameMap`) `undefined` for the module under test — a latent bug
+the seam fixes for free. Real body → `akmIndexReal`; delegator +
+`export function _setAkmIndexForTests(fake?: typeof akmIndex): void;`. All
+other exports stay real.
+
+#### 12. `src/indexer/db/db` — DELETE THE STALE MOCK (no seam, decide fallback in-flight)
+
+The current mock is **broken**: it exports `openDatabase`, but the real module
+and setup.ts:41 use `openIndexDatabase` — under the mock, `openIndexDatabase`
+is `undefined` and the vec-probe try/catch (setup.ts:582-600) silently
+swallows the TypeError. The test has never exercised this path. Migration:
+delete the mock and let the vec probe open a REAL index DB inside the
+sandboxed tmp dirs (this is an integration test; that is the honest behavior
+and un-swallows the probe). Fallback only if a real open proves too slow or
+vec-extension-dependent in CI: minimal
+`_setIndexDbForTests({ openIndexDatabase?, isVecAvailable? })` delegators.
+Default is deletion. *(Landed as deletion, confirmed: `tests/integration/setup-run.test.ts`
+has zero `mock.module` calls today. `src/indexer/db/db.ts` no longer exists —
+`openIndexDatabase` now lives in `src/storage/repositories/index-connection.ts`
+— though `setup-run.test.ts` still has a stale comment naming the old path.)*
+
+#### 13. `src/integrations/agent` — seam in the DEFINING module
+
+The test spreads the real barrel and overrides `detectAgentCliProfiles` +
+`pickDefaultAgentProfile`. Both are defined in
+`src/integrations/agent/detect.ts` (:81, :106) and re-exported by the barrel
+(index.ts:33). **The seam must live in `detect.ts`** (a barrel re-export of a
+delegator carries the seam automatically; seaming the barrel itself would not
+affect direct `./detect` importers).
+
+- **Binding** (integrations/agent/detect.ts):
+  ```ts
+  interface AgentDetectOverridesForTests {
+    detectAgentCliProfiles?: typeof detectAgentCliProfiles;
+    pickDefaultAgentProfile?: typeof pickDefaultAgentProfile;
+  }
+  ```
+- **Hook**: `export function _setAgentDetectForTests(fakes?: AgentDetectOverridesForTests): void;`
+  (re-exported from the barrel so tests import one module).
+
+#### 14. `src/commands/tasks/default-tasks` — seam for the three mocked exports
+
+`registerDefaultTasks(deps)` and `isCiEnvironment(env = process.env)` already
+have DI params, but setup.ts:19 imports and calls them bare — using the DI
+params would be a call-site change (forbidden). Module seam:
+
+- **Binding** (default-tasks.ts):
+  ```ts
+  interface DefaultTasksOverridesForTests {
+    detectServerDefault?: typeof detectServerDefault;
+    isCiEnvironment?: typeof isCiEnvironment;
+    registerDefaultTasks?: typeof registerDefaultTasks;
+  }
+  ```
+- **Hook**: `export function _setDefaultTasksForTests(fakes?: DefaultTasksOverridesForTests): void;`
+- First-line delegation on all three (note default-tasks.ts:179/:184 call
+  `isCiEnvironment()`/`detectServerDefault()` internally — through the
+  delegators, so overriding `detectServerDefault` alone still steers a real
+  `registerDefaultTasks`, which today's all-or-nothing mock cannot do).
+- The existing `installDefaultTasksMock` beforeEach helper in setup-run
+  becomes an `overrideSeam` call.
+
+---
+
+## Deferred — RESOLVED (deferral is over)
+
+### `@clack/prompts` — src seam SHIPPED (`src/cli/clack.ts`); `mock.module` is at ZERO
+
+Originally deferred because seaming a third-party package needs a src-side
+wrapper module and the guardrails forbid new wrappers. The deferral was
+overturned by an adversarial review that BLOCKED landing the branch on proof:
+
+- **The leak proof made zero-mock mandatory.** A two-file probe showed Bun
+  `mock.module` registrations ARE visible in later test files in the same
+  process, and the preload's `mock.restore()` does NOT clear them. `--isolate`
+  was deleted on this branch (63a58d4a), and that deletion is only sound at
+  ZERO `mock.module` — three clack mocks was three too many.
+- **A latent restore bug existed by construction:** setup-scheduled-tasks
+  captured `REAL_CLACK` via `await import("@clack/prompts")` AFTER its fake
+  was installed, so the `afterAll` "restore" re-registered the fake. The
+  mock/restore dance cannot be made safe; only a seam deletes the bug class.
+
+Resolution (same pattern as the `@huggingface/transformers` loader seam in
+`src/llm/embedders/local.ts` — a third-party module gets its seam in src):
+
+- `src/cli/clack.ts` re-exports the clack surface the codebase uses (`intro`,
+  `outro`, `cancel`, `confirm`, `select`, `multiselect`, `text`, `spinner`,
+  `note`, `isCancel`, `log`) through call-time delegators over ONE binding,
+  with the canonical single `_setClackForTests(fake | undefined)` hook.
+- The four src importers (setup.ts, cli/confirm.ts, sources/add-cli.ts,
+  sources/stash-cli.ts) switched their import specifier to the seam —
+  import-specifier changes only, zero signature/behavior changes.
+- The three test files migrated onto `overrideSeam(_setClackForTests, …)`;
+  the REAL_CLACK capture/restore blocks and cache-busting dynamic module
+  reloads were deleted (static imports are safe again).
+
+Standing rule: `mock.module(` must never reappear in `tests/` (grep-enforced
+at review; the preload comment documents why). New third-party dependencies
+that tests need to fake get a src-side seam module like this one.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation order (one commit per numbered step, gate green each time)
+
+1. `tests/_helpers/seams.ts` + `tests/_preload.ts` wiring **+** `src/llm/client`
+   seam, migrating its 5 test files (proves the whole pattern end-to-end on the
+   easiest group).
+2. `src/core/warn` sink seam — 3 files (includes the agent-builders rewrite).
+3. `src/llm/embedder` facade seam — indexer.test.ts + dedup-cache-wiring
+   migrations (setup-run's embedder block waits for step 7).
+4. `@huggingface/transformers` loader seam in `embedders/local.ts` — 2 files.
+5. `src/setup/registry-stash-loader` — setup-wizard partial migration
+   (clack mock stays).
+6. `src/tasks/backends` — tasks-write-target.
+7. setup-run cluster, one seam-module at a time inside the single file:
+   add seams for detect / init / indexer / agent-detect / default-tasks;
+   delete the config + paths + indexer-db mocks (sandbox/real replacements);
+   dedupe the clack mock; collapse the 9 stanzas into `installSetupSeams()`.
+
+Per-commit gate: `bun run check` (types + lint + unit/integration per repo
+release-gate rule) — 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 failures. Expected net effect:
+~15-20 added lines per seamed src module vs hundreds of deleted mock lines in
+tests (setup-run alone should shrink by roughly half).
