What is being verified + +Commit `3ab0086` ("forge: harden probe_forge verifier against +`no_main_guard`/`SystemExit` mutant-escape; 12/12 checks") extracted a shared +`_safe_import()` that wraps `importlib.import_module` in +`try/except BaseException` with stdout/stderr redirection, so a guard-less +subject that reaches `sys.exit(...)` at module scope raises `SystemExit` which +is **caught and reported as FAIL** rather than propagating and killing the +verifier with `rc 0` before its final verdict. + +This scan is the missing proof that the hardening actually works: it mutates +the *subject* (not the verifier) with the exact escape the fix was built to +defeat and confirms the verifier now turns green-on-defect into red. + +## 2. Safety of the scan (never mutates real artifacts) + +`_mutant_scan.py` copies `verify_probe_forge_refactor.py`, `_probe_forge.py`, +`_probe_forge_refactored.py` and `chunker.py` into a fresh `tempfile.mkdtemp`, +applies each mutant string-rewrite to the **temp copy** of the subject, runs the +**temp copy** of the verifier with `cwd=tmp`, then wipes the temp dir. The real +files in `wizard-work/forge/` are untouched. + +The mutated patterns target the refactored subject's real, reproduced code: the +module guard is exactly +`if __name__ == "__main__":\n sys.exit(main())`, the first-diff search +loop body contains `return i`, the equality print is +`print("equal:", actual == expected)`, and the chunker call is +`chunker.reconstruct(cs, 8)` — each mutant's `str.replace` anchor matches the +source verbatim (an anchor that fails to match is reported `SKIP (no change)` +and never scored as green). + +## 3.

Full capture: `_mutant_scan_probe_forge.log`. + +## 4. The key mutant — `no_main_guard` (the escape this scan exists to prove) + +Before `3ab0086`, stripping the guard left `sys.exit(main())` at module scope; +importing the subject ran the probe, leaked 790 B of probe output to real stdout, +and raised `SystemExit(0)` which propagated out of the verifier, terminating it +with `rc 0` — i.e. a defective tree reported **green**. + +After the fix, the same mutant is **DIED**: `_safe_import` catches the +`SystemExit`, so `check_import_side_effect_free` and +`check_find_first_diff_correctness` both FAIL (10/12, exit 1). The verifier +reaches its verdict row and exits non-zero instead of dying at import. + +Contrast the surviving mutants for the other (triage) verifier, which never had +this class of escape: every `no_main_guard`-style mutant here dies the same way +the fix predicted. + +## 5. Determinism + +Run twice consecutively (run #1 in §3, run #2 identical): +both report `Survivors: none`, scan exit 0. Mutation-scan output is deterministic +(string rewrites + subprocess capture; no timing/state in the subject). + +## 6. Non-vacuity of the static checks + +Several mutants are behaviorally invisible because the chunker round-trip is +lossless for these inputs, so `check_identical_output` (byte-identical +stdout/stderr) passes: + +* `hardcode_equal` (`print("equal:", True)`) — output unchanged → passes + identical-output, but `check_no_hardcoded_equal` (static search for + `actual == expected`) FAILS. +* `reconstruct_overlap_zero` (`reconstruct(cs, 0)`) — output unchanged → passes + identical-output, but `check_overlap_consistency` (AST: reconstruct arg must + equal chunk_text `overlap_tokens`) FAILS. +* `ffd_extend_range` (loop +1) — `range` never exceeds the common prefix length + for equal inputs, so output is unchanged → identical-output passes, but + `check_find_first_diff_correctness` calls `_find_first_diff` directly on + crafted unequal strings and FAILS. + +These are exactly the "mutations invisible to output comparison" that +`3ab0086`/`496b3e0` added structural + direct-call checks to kill; this scan +confirms they all hold. + +## 7.
