pre-commit 4.7.0, pylint 4.1.3 and ruff 0.17.2 across crdt-sync,
earned_time, freedays, gatelock, music_theory and sickdays; numpy 2.5.4 in
music_theory (requirements, pyproject and the mypy/pylint hook deps). The
ruff-pre-commit rev follows to v0.17.2 in those configs and vmbox's, so the
hook lints with the version requirements.txt pins. No Python lockfiles exist.
All six suites at 100% coverage; every package's pre-commit config green.

Much of testsAndMisc/linux_configuration cannot be tested on the host: 15
files use `chattr +i` (so a bad test is not simply revertable), the shutdown
installers write units that power the machine off, and boot_recovery installs
pacman hooks. The repo's own CI says as much -- its Ubuntu job runs only the
side-effect-free tests, noting the rest "drive pacman, /etc, systemd or adb".
vmbox runs them in a throwaway Arch guest and verifies the result from the
HOST, which is the part that is not obvious: a successful shutdown kills the
connection carrying the report, and ssh returns 255 for a clean poweroff, a
crash and a dropped link alike. So the verdict comes from two artefacts that
outlive the VM -- a QMP event log written by a recorder attached at launch
(attach later and qemu has already exited), and the serial console log.
Five outcomes are distinguished: clean poweroff (SHUTDOWN guest:true plus a
serial tail reaching "reboot: Power down"), dirty stop, guest-reset (rebooted
instead of powering off), GUEST_PANICKED, and hung. A POWERDOWN event proves
nothing -- it means the request was delivered, not that anything acted on it.
Reset is a qcow2 backing-file trick: the golden image is built once and sealed
(chmod 444 plus a sha256 sidecar verified on every launch, since booting the
base would silently invalidate every overlay), and each sandbox is a thin
overlay, so reset is rm + recreate. No root anywhere -- user-mode networking
with per-VM forwarded ssh ports, and a socket multicast segment for VM-to-VM.
The guest clock is pinned and re-applied on every launch, because the shutdown
installers gate on a 21:00-05:00 window; NTP is masked in the image or it
silently undoes the pin. Repos are cloned from a read-only share scoped to an
explicit directory, never $HOME, and credentials are sentinel values.
`vm build` ends by booting a throwaway sandbox off the sealed image and
refusing to ship if ssh does not answer. Several distinct faults produced an
identical "boots fine, connection reset" symptom; checks inside the build VM
only prove state at seal time, so the gate has to be an end-to-end boot.
Tests: 8 bats cases over the verdict table and name/meta/serial handling;
shellcheck and ruff clean; every file within the 250-line cap.
