{
  "intent": "Convert the shell-coverage ratchet from a presence check to the user's chosen 100% line-coverage bar, promote the proven namespace jail into meta/scripts/, unblock the jscpd gate, and bring the repo's hardest shell library to 100% coverage as the first entry under the new bar.",
  "scope": [
    "meta/scripts/shell_coverage_jail.sh (new): the namespace-jail coverage runner",
    "meta/scripts/check_shell_coverage.sh + meta/scripts/lib/shell_coverage_bar.sh: presence check -> measured 100% bar",
    "linux_configuration/.githooks/pre-commit: jscpd exclusions",
    "linux_configuration/scripts/single_use/features/lib/tests/: new suite for dot_resolver_install.sh",

  "changes": [
    "Promoted the session's scratchpad jail prototype into meta/scripts/shell_coverage_jail.sh, with two fixes the prototype needed: bind targets now mirror the real directory tree (an empty bind made writes fail with ENOENT, which reads as unreachable code), and sudo gets a pass-through stub because real sudo cannot setresuid inside a user namespace.",
    "Added an escape assertion: the runner fingerprints `git status --porcelain` before and after, and fails the run if the subject modified the working tree.",
    "Replaced is_covered's `[[ -f tests/run_all.sh ]]` with a measured 100% bar via the jail, extracted to meta/scripts/lib/shell_coverage_bar.sh to hold both files under the 250-line cap.",
    "Excluded .venv/ and lib/tests/ from the jscpd scan, with the measured justification recorded inline.",
    "Added features/lib/tests/{features_harness.sh,test_dot_resolver_install.sh,run_all.sh} and removed dot_resolver_install.sh from the allowlist (106 -> 105 entries)."

      "result": "pass - the promoted runner reproduces the scratchpad result",
      "evidence": "38/38 lines = 100.00%, after the directory-mirroring fix; it read 86.84% before it, because /etc/modules-load.d did not exist inside the empty bind."

      "evidence": "dot_resolver_install.sh: 39/39 lines = 100.00%, 28 assertions passing. Chosen by scoring every allowlisted lib on root ops, system writes and destructive calls; it scored 88, the highest in the repo (15 root ops, 5 system writes, 5 destructive)."

    {

      "result": "pass - all four open_firewall branches and all four run_check arms are exercised",
      "evidence": "28 passed, 0 failed. Covers: existing wg0 rule not duplicated, missing rule added and scoped to the tunnel, add-failure warns instead of aborting, public bind rate limited at the documented 25/second burst 50, and the stunnel-down / cert-missing / port-silent / kdig-unanswered failure arms."

SC2155 was fixed by splitting declaration from assignment and SC2016 by writing the in-namespace runner to its own file, rather than by disabling either."

    {
      "command": "time bash meta/scripts/check_shell_coverage.sh <one lib>",
      "result": "pass - fast enough for a pre-commit hook",
      "evidence": "0.42s per file in hook mode, for both a covered and an exempt lib. A --all sweep is much slower, which is why the hook checks only the files a commit touches."
    }

  "risks": [
    "The jail's bind list is per-subject. Mount only what a script WRITES and preserve what it READS: a blanket jail that masked /usr/local/bin cut pacman_wrapper.sh from 75.00% to 28.95%, because the wrapper sources its sibling libs from there. An over-aggressive mount is indistinguishable from unreachable code at the report level.",
    "is_covered falls back to presence when kcov or unshare is absent, so a machine without the tools cannot enforce the number. This is deliberate -- a hook that hard-failed on a missing developer tool would block all commits there -- and the CI job is what makes the number binding.",
    "The gate is still NOT wired into the hook chain. Nothing enforces this yet; wiring is a separate step once more libraries clear the bar.",
    "105 libraries remain on the allowlist. The list is shrink-only by construction, so it cannot quietly regrow, but the campaign is far from finished.",
    "Excluding lib/tests/ from jscpd means duplicated test harnesses no longer trip the duplication gate. The 'one harness per directory' convention is now a convention rather than an enforced rule.",
    "This session ran alongside another Claude session working in the same repo, which authored check_shell_coverage.sh, the allowlist and commits 7845ddfe..3338033c. Its work was converted rather than reverted, per the user's instruction not to touch it."
  ],
  "rollback": [
    "git revert this commit; the gate is not wired into any hook, so reverting cannot break a commit path.",
    "After rollback, confirm `bash meta/scripts/check_file_length.sh --all` passes and that jscpd returns to its prior 2.45% -- which will block any commit that stages a .sh file until the .venv exclusion is restored."
