+# Are there any regexes that grep will eat as options instead of matching?
+#
+# Why this exists. On 2026-09-20 two shipped guards were found to have never
+# fired once since they were written on 2026-03-29:
+#
+#   examples/bash-secret-output-detector.sh
+#     grep -qE '-----BEGIN (RSA |EC |OPENSSH )?PRIVATE KEY-----'
+#   examples/ci-workflow-guard.sh
+#     grep -qE '--no-verify|--skip-tests|--no-check|SKIP_CI|skip ci|\[ci skip\]'
+#
+# Both patterns start with a dash. grep reads them as options, exits non-zero
+# with "unrecognized option", and the surrounding `if` is false for every input
+# the guard will ever see. The rule is not weak - it is absent. The fix is two
+# characters: `--` before the pattern, or `-e`.
+#
+# This class is invisible from three directions at once, which is why it lived
+# for five and a half months:
+#   - the guard still exits 0, so anything asserting on exit codes stays green;
+#   - grep's complaint goes to the hook's stderr, which nobody reads on a hook
+#     that is behaving itself;
+#   - a neighbouring rule may share a token with the dead one, so a manual
+#     spot-check produces a warning and the operator stops looking.
+#
+# So this test does not check behaviour. It checks shape, across every shell
+# file we ship *and* the two JSON files that carry inline guard commands - the
+# JSON is what actually runs on an operator's machine, so leaving it out would
+# check the copy and not the original.
+#
+# A detector that finds nothing proves nothing until you have seen it find

+# --outdated was structurally blind to the guards it installs by default.
+#
+# Why this exists. `--install` writes the core guards from `scripts.json`.
+# `--outdated` compared the hooks directory against `examples/` only. The core
+# guards are not files under `examples/` — they are strings inside
+# `scripts.json` — so every one of them fell into the "not shipped by this
+# project — not checked" bucket. A user whose `destructive-guard.sh` was months
+# behind was told, in those words, that it was none of this project's business.
+#
+# Measured on one real machine on 2026-08-12, before this fix:
+#
+#   destructive-guard.sh   installed  8,319 B (2026-05-27)   shipped 33,895 B
+#   branch-guard.sh        installed  2,616 B (2026-05-27)   shipped  4,447 B
+#   secret-guard.sh        installed  2,964 B (2026-05-27)   shipped  4,795 B
+#
+# Feeding the same input to both copies, six dangerous shapes were blocked by
+# the shipped body and passed by the installed one, including `cd /tmp &&
+# git push --force origin main` and `cd /tmp && git add .env`. The controls —
+# the same commands on their own — were blocked by both, which is what makes it
+# a gap in coverage rather than a mistake in how the probe was fed.
+#
+# The tool whose entire job was to notice this could not see the files.
+#
+# The second half of this test pins `--show-core`. `--outdated` can now name a
+# stale core guard, but `--install-example` cannot fetch one, so naming it
+# without a way to read the shipped body would report a problem the reader
+# cannot act on.
