make tools-health audits DATA integrity (corpus/cdecl/binaries/digest/text) and
nothing audited TOOL BEHAVIOUR -- the gap all four S70 defects fell through. Each
reported success while doing nothing or doing harm, and none would have been found
by reading the source: a wrong instrument returns a plausible NUMBER, not an error.
tools/work_evidence.py, three assertions on OBSERVABLE CONSEQUENCE:
assert_inputs zero readable inputs is a DEFECT, not a zero-yield result. "0 of 0"
is a fact about the harness; "0 of 57" is a fact about the subject.
assert_floor work claiming a compile/gate cannot beat physics -- the ONLY tell on
the pgate defect was a 1-2s wall clock (§402).
assert_effect N claimed successes must show a persistent effect; verification is
not banking (§404).
Self-test is a negative control both directions (11/11): each assertion PASSES the
already-succeeded case and FAILS the known-bad one, and non-strict warns instead of
raising. Wired into `make tools-health` so it cannot rot (R54).
Wiring on the wave critical path:
* parallel_gate: per-worker wall-clock floor; a sub-floor worker is flagged
"BLIND SUSPECT" in the summary line instead of passing as a clean zero.
* gate_stage: the silent `if not draft_fns: return {...}` -- the exact point the
pgate defect flowed through -- is now loud and marks the result `refused`.
* harvest_verify: says at the point of confusion that "verified" is not "banked"
and names gate_stage as the entrypoint that persists.
Negative control: empty drafts dir -> loud + refused. Positive control: a real
2-draft dir still gates normally (drafts:2, no false refusal).
