(a) import-resolve: 9 OUTSIDE_REPO faults -> 0 over 138 graded files. The eight
lanes' test files now insert str(Path(__file__).resolve().parent) and resolve
their data paths from __file__; test_hermes.py is rewritten as the host probe it
always was (skills root from HERMES_SKILLS_DIR/HERMES_HOME/~/.hermes/skills, rc 0
found / 77 SKIP / 1 FAIL) instead of binding a module that does not exist.
Falsified: poisoning the repo copy reds the rebound test (rc 1) and leaves HEAD's
host-bound copy green (rc 0), both restored.
(b) path-claims: 225 new -> 0. All 225 came from sol's untracked-file census; each
was measured (0 add-commits on any ref, present on disk untracked, listed verbatim
in the census) and is a NOT_ADDED row under a batch note. One CLEARED row dropped
(spark/lwc_counter.py, resurrected at 3e667eb after Q125 retired it).
Carried in, not authored here: tools/verify.py's ninth leg and the two-line Q98
record (Sentinel's Q98 artifact), so HEAD agrees with Q98's own text.
verify --repo .: 9 legs, 9 pass, 0 fault -- gate OK. Report:
/root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/volt/2026-10-30-q126.md
The eight test files Q98 leaves open (plus test_bfs.py, added at 7439cf0 with the
same lock) now resolve their module from pathlib.Path(__file__).resolve().parent
instead of /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/<lane>.
tools/import_resolve_check.py --repo . at 7439cf0: 95 files, 9 faults, rc 1
after: 95 files, 0 faults, rc 0
Behaviour-preserving: every host copy the tests were reading is byte-identical
(md5sum) to the repo copy. Three absolute literals in spark/test_validator.py
that the static leg does not grade (load_json(...) argument strings at pre-fix
lines 12/16/25) are re-pointed too.
ledger/test_scratch_manifest.py was red before any edit (str ROOT vs
gen_manifest ROOT.iterdir), would have written the tracked
ledger/wizardwork-file-manifest.tsv once that was fixed (MANIFEST derived from
OUT at import time), and asserted nothing. It now re-points ROOT/OUT/MANIFEST,
guards MANIFEST inside a tempfile.mkdtemp(), and asserts the exact manifest row.
Non-vacuity: scratch/q98b/poison_probe.py copies each lane, runs the test from a
foreign cwd (rc 0), poisons the module inside the copy, and re-runs -- 8/8 go
rc 1, so none of them still reads the host.
Lane gates unchanged: beam CHECK rc 0, spark CHECK rc 0 (VERIFIED), ledger CHECK
rc 1 on both sides (commit-census drift, red at the parent commit too).
