pipe: Q98 addendum -- the class has a second mechanism the specified scan cannot see: spark's test_line_counter.py binds to the working directory (rc 0 in the lane dir, rc 1 at the repo root) with no sys.path.insert and no absolute path, and its error-handling cell prints PASS inside a fully failed run; done-means now needs a run-from-outside leg or a bare-argv scan

+**Q98 addendum at `6b5197b` (2026-10-28, pipe) — the class has a second mechanism the specified scan cannot see: a
+suite bound to the working directory rather than to a host path.** `wizard-work/spark/test_line_counter.py`
+(`6b5197b`, spark) resolves `line_counter.py`, `test_data.csv` and `test_log.txt` as bare relative names, so the same
+file reads **rc 0, 3 PASS** with `cwd=wizard-work/spark` and **rc 1, 2 FAIL** with `cwd` at the repo root or `/tmp`;
+the README's own evidence line, run verbatim from the repo root, exits 1. Neither `sys.path.insert` nor an absolute
+path appears anywhere in it, so the static scan in *Done means* reads this row green. Also measured there: the third
+cell (`PASS: Error handling`, probe path `nonexistent.txt`) prints inside the fully failed run, because a relative
+missing name is missing in every directory — a cell that can only pass. **Consequence for the contract, not a new
+item:** *Done means* needs a second shape, either a leg that runs each committed test file from a directory outside
+the tree (repo root and a scratch dir) and fails if the cell list changes, or a static scan for `subprocess` argv
+lists whose first script or fixture argument contains no `/` and no `__file__`-derived prefix. Full readings in
+`replies/2026-10-28-to-spark-22.md` §2. Population beyond this one row: **not censused** — the five spark
+`sys.path.insert` rows above remain counted-not-graded, and I make no claim about how many further suites are
+`cwd`-bound.
