Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki 23baf9d63f shell splits: add a verbatim-move harness and triage all 29 targets
The five Python splits this session were made safe by a throwaway ast
identity check. There is no ast for bash, so meta/scripts/verify_shell_split.sh
does the same job with shfmt -mn (minify: strips comments and indentation,
keeps logic), hashing each top-level function and naming the one that differs.
shfmt is already a REQUIRED_TOOLS binary, so this adds no dependency.

Validated in all three directions before trusting it: an unchanged copy is
IDENTICAL, a copy with blank lines inserted is IDENTICAL, and a one-character
logic change ($1 -> $2) is caught and named. The first mutation attempt used
sed 's/exit 1/exit 2/' on a file with no 'exit 1' and reported IDENTICAL - the
harness was fine, the test was vacuous. That trap is now documented, because a
normalizer that silently passes everything is worse than none.

Also triaged all 29 over-cap shell scripts for deployed copies, which the
trace harness cannot see. The finding that changes the plan: deploy.sh copies
a hardcoded per-file list into /data/local/tmp/focus_mode and never deploys
lib/, so an entry+lib seam would break focus mode on the phone at its first
source - for 8 of the 29, not the 2 the brief named. Those scripts source only
config.sh, which is on the copy list, so a sibling-file seam works provided
deploy.sh's list grows in the same commit.

16 scripts have no deployed copy and are safe to split conventionally.

"intent": "Build and validate the shell equivalent of the Python ast identity check, and record the deployment triage of all 29 over-cap shell scripts, so the splits that follow can be verified rather than assumed.",

"New: meta/scripts/verify_shell_split.sh",
"docs/shell-split-verification.md - the harness usage, its self-test contract, and the triage table",
"Non-goal: any split; this commit only builds the tooling"

"verify_shell_split.sh extracts each top-level function from a git rev and from the post-split files, normalises through shfmt -mn, and compares a hash per function. shfmt is already a REQUIRED_TOOLS binary here, so this adds no dependency.",
"It names the function that changed rather than reporting a whole-file diff, so a failure points at the seam.",
"Documented the triage: deploy.sh copies a hardcoded per-file list into /data/local/tmp/focus_mode and never deploys lib/, which decides the seam shape for 8 of the 29 scripts."

{
"command": "verify_shell_split.sh against a copy with blank lines inserted every 7th line",

"evidence": "DIFFERENCE FOUND, naming process_packages and printing both hashes, exit 1. The first attempt at this test used sed 's/exit 1/exit 2/' on a file containing no 'exit 1' and reported IDENTICAL; diffing the mutation showed it had never applied. The harness was fine, the test was vacuous - which is exactly the failure mode a normalizer self-test exists to catch, and it is now written down."

The other 16 are safe to give an entry+lib shape. Confirmed the phone scripts source only config.sh, which is on deploy.sh's copy list - so a sibling-file seam works there but an entry+lib seam would not."

"The function extractor is a brace-counting awk pass, so a function whose body contains an unbalanced brace inside a string or heredoc could be mis-delimited. Mitigated by the control test on a real repo script and by the harness reporting the function count, which would drop visibly if extraction went wrong.",
"The check covers top-level functions only. Code outside any function - the argument parsing and main flow most of these scripts end with - is not compared, so a split must still be verified by running the script."
