The pre-push prettier hook rejected the table and list formatting introduced
by the two preceding commits. Formatting only -- no content, number or claim
is changed.

The report printed a COUNT of traced lines that kcov never listed as
instrumentable. A count cannot be acted on: deciding whether such a line is a
real statement or a function declaration needs the line number. It now lists
them, the way it already lists uncovered lines.
Reading them across every lib with a harness splits them cleanly:
benign dwm_config.sh:27 (`heal_config() {`), transcribe_deps.sh:9
(one-line function declaration), clean_audio_filters.sh:197,200
(`((running++))`) -- correctly not statements
real aw_autostart.sh 68,70,73,79-81,83-84,87-88,94 -- plain echo, local,
if, `sudo -u ... mkdir`, `cat >` heredoc. kcov lists nothing after
the `{ ... } >>"$file"` command group at lines 61-65.
So kcov's LINE SET is incomplete too, not just its hit counts. This does NOT
inflate anything: a line reaches that list only because the TRACE SAW IT RUN,
so folding all 11 into both halves moves aw_autostart from 80/82 = 97.56% to
91/93 = 97.85% -- up. An off-set line is by construction an executed line, so
it can only ever be a missing COVERED line, never a missing uncovered one.
What it does mean is that such a subject is measured over a subset of its
statements. The percentage is honest about the subset, not the whole file,
which is why the lines are now printed rather than tallied.
Separately: nc_php.sh reports "kcov instrumented no lines" on the PRE-FIX
instrument too -- checked at 078d3463 in a throwaway worktree -- so it is not
a regression from the two-pass change. The 84/85 = 98.82% in earlier notes
does not reproduce and is recorded as unverified.

The instrument, not the tests, was the bottleneck. Coverage is now
(PS4-traced lines | kcov hits) & (kcov line set - continuation lines).
The trace deliberately does NOT supply the denominator. A trace reports only
lines that RAN, so using it for both halves would make every subject 100.00%
and arm a repo-wide gate that checks nothing.
Three measured findings, each of which yields a silently wrong trace:
1. kcov's ptrace and bash's xtrace cannot share a process. Under
SHELLOPTS=xtrace every line kcov recorded as hits="1" comes back hits="0"
-- reproduced A/B on one subject. Hence two passes, two namespaces.
2. SHELLOPTS is readonly inside bash, so `export SHELLOPTS=xtrace` fails and
tracing never turns on; and `set -x` does not reach child processes.
3. Decisive: bash under `unshare --map-root-user` runs PRIVILEGED and
DISCARDS an inherited PS4, falling back to "+ " while still honouring
xtrace. The trace loses its file:line prefix and every subject reads 0%.
Fixed by delivering PS4 and `set -x` through a BASH_ENV file, which also
solves child-process propagation.
A fourth trap, in the report: kcov records filename="dwm_config.sh", a bare
basename. The source path comes from the trace's ${BASH_SOURCE} or a unique
repo search; an ambiguous basename yields no exclusion rather than a guess.
Measured through run_all.sh, nothing down:
dot_resolver_install.sh 39/39 = 100.00% (acceptance, unchanged)
rpi_nc_ca.sh 73/73 = 100.00% (was 72/73 = 98.63%)
dwm_config.sh 65/66 = 98.48% (was 35/73 = 47.95%)
rpi_nc_install.sh 85/88 = 96.59% (was 10/88 = 11.36%)
rpi_nc_ca reaching 100% is the load-bearing check: its missing line 141 was
cross-process contagion, and the trace pass has no kcov in it to contaminate.
dwm_config's remaining line 39 is a `done < <(...)`. Left in the denominator
on purpose -- removing lines inflates coverage, the fail-open direction, so a
second exclusion rule needs per-line justification, not a pattern from one lib.
Both new Python modules hold 100% branch coverage (29 tests).

Settles a question the campaign has worked around for three sessions:
rpi_nc_install.sh's 11.36% is an instrument failure, not a testing gap.
Measured against an independent instrument. Driving the lib under
PS4='+PS4:${BASH_SOURCE##*/}:${LINENO} ' with set -x traces 55 distinct lines
as executed, and 45 of them are lines kcov reports as UNCOVERED -- including
61, 62, 63, 66, 68, 102, 118 and 146. The lines run; kcov does not record
them.
That splits the problem in two, and they need different fixes:
(a) WRONG DENOMINATOR -- continuation lines of a multi-line quoted argument
counted as statements, which bash -x never calls executable at all.
Fixable in shell_coverage_report.py. Holds dwm_config.sh down.
(b) WRONG NUMERATOR -- ordinary statements executing unrecorded. Caps
rpi_nc_install.sh, and no test can move it.
The distinction is the point. A denominator filter is the obvious fix and I
nearly built one last session; it would have done nothing for (b).
Also confirmed no test can raise rpi_nc_install.sh: the file is one 227-line
function called twice, an `exit 88` sentinel proves the suite runs to
completion, and its assertions on save_config (line 219) and the password
message (line 227) PASS while kcov calls both lines uncovered.
kcov 43 is the current release, so upgrading is not an available fix.
The kcov material moved to docs/kcov-under-report.md (the 250-line cap), and
NEXT_SESSION_PROMPT.md now leads with the instrument work rather than the
next lib -- 201 in-scope libs, 98 passing, 103 exempt, and the instrument is
the bottleneck.
