Two defects found in review, both of which made checks PASS more easily, so
neither ever went red.
GATE: is_covered() hardcoded its jail flags and never read the jail_args
marker that ci_mirror.sh and shell-tests.yml both consume. The features/lib
suite needs /usr/local/share and /etc/pki and aborts under set -e without
them -- but the coverage number still printed, because kcov had already
recorded whatever the dead run reached. The gate would have graded 44 libs on
a suite that never finished. It now reads the marker, keeps the historical
defaults for suites without one, fails closed on an empty marker, and passes
--fail-on-case-error.
Negative control: stripping the binds makes the gate exit 1 and restoring
them returns exit 0. Before this commit both cases exited 0 -- the gate could
not fail on an aborting suite.
HASH CACHE: the _t_unstub helper written earlier today for the transcribe
harness was needed in features_harness.sh too. Two assertions were vacuous --
test_dwm_config's "verify still reports when dwm is absent", and
test_rpi_nc_ca's uname removal, where a cached uname left every later branch
running under a faked Darwin. All four `rm -f "$TEST_TMPDIR/bin/` sites in
the repo were audited; the other two are sound (one probes with [[ -f ]], the
other runs in a subshell).
No measured figure moved: dot_resolver_install.sh still 39/39 = 100.00% with
real absence enforced, so its off-allowlist clearance holds.

The gate was a presence check -- 'a run_all.sh exists beside this lib' --
which an empty suite that asserts nothing satisfies. It now measures.
100% is reachable with no suppressions and no production source changes:
run the suite inside a user+mount namespace and the sudo-writes, systemd
units and nftables rules execute for real against a throwaway /etc.
- meta/scripts/shell_coverage_jail.sh: the runner, promoted out of a
session scratchpad. Two fixes it needed on the way: bind targets mirror
the real directory tree (an empty bind makes writes fail with ENOENT,
which reads as unreachable code), and sudo gets a pass-through stub
because real sudo cannot setresuid inside a userns.
- It fingerprints git status before and after and fails the run if a
write escapes the jail. Verified with a deliberate escapee.
- dot_resolver_install.sh: 39/39 = 100.00%, 28 assertions. Picked by
scoring every allowlisted lib on root ops, system writes and
destructive calls -- it scored highest in the repo. Allowlist 106 -> 105.
- jscpd was already over its own threshold at 2.45% and would have
rejected every commit staging a .sh file. Excluding vendored .venv/
shell alone gives 1.67%; also excluding lib/tests/ gives 1.47%.
The gate is deliberately NOT wired into the hook chain yet.
