Sweeps the triage-only backlog: 2,269 files that earlier waves saw and skipped for
size, reconstructed from the unread lists five waves of auditors disclosed. 35 case
declarations removed across 15 files, 2 test files deleted, 487 lines gone. No
production file touched.
These are large integration suites, so the junk here is individual cases buried among
real coverage rather than whole bad files. The dominant defect was again a case whose
input cannot reach the behavior its title names:
- `resume-sleeping-agent-session-remote-compat.test.ts` (deleted) — two cases titled
for "transport-level host authority on a capable host" and "host authority is not
known". `resume-sleeping-agent-session.ts` has no host-authority or capability
concept at all, and its only read of `origin` is
`if (!record.origin && record.state === 'done')`, unreachable for both rows. Both
executed one identical path. The surviving contract is owned by
`resume-sleeping-agent-session-execution-host-scope.test.ts`, which drives a real
host catalog.
- `project-group-header-drag.test.ts` (deleted) — four cases setting
`data-project-group-header-id`, which the predicate never reads. Its subject,
`isProjectGroupHeaderActionTarget`, is byte-identical to `isRepoHeaderActionTarget`
apart from the function name and imports the same `REPO_HEADER_ACTION_SELECTOR`, so
all four cases were a strict subset of `project-header-drag.test.ts` using identical
`data-repo-header-*` fixtures.
- `remote-worktree-history-cleanup.test.ts` — "repeats idempotent cleanup through the
PTY owner" against a six-line best-effort forward with zero dedupe state. The case
called it twice and asserted the mock recorded two calls, which is arithmetic over
the test's own loop; nothing about idempotence was established.
Also removed:
- Runtime assertions of type-level facts, where production already makes the check at
a stronger boundary: `const adapterSatisfiesPort: AdapterIsPort = true` followed by
`expect(...).toBe(true)` — unconditionally true, while
`createExpoGenerationFileSystem(): GenerationFileSystem` is explicitly annotated and
passed into `createGenerationStore` at a typed call site. And a case named "does not
typecheck" whose runtime assertion is a length check on its own literal, declaring
its own local annotation so it could never notice the production annotation
weakening.
- Private predicate tests duplicated at a real boundary: four `repo-slug-cache` cases
delivered by `repo-slug-index.test.ts`, which drives the same resolution through the
hook, the real store and the preload bridge, while the cache-level versions hand-seed
the internal map and break on a cache-key format change.
- Duplicate invocations owned at the shared boundary, including commit and push
recovery cases owned by `src/shared/source-control-recovery-agent-command.test.ts`.
Kept deliberately, verified rather than assumed: the production duplication behind the
deleted drag test was left alone, because `REPO_HEADER_ACTION_SELECTOR` ends in generic
`button, a, input, textarea, select`, so genuine action targets inside a group header
still match — it is an unspecialised copy-paste, not a live bug, and collapsing two
functions is a refactor. Reported instead.
Auditors' probes produced 20, 11 and 13 candidate hits for the signature-versus-title
shape across their chunks; every one was inspected and every one was genuine coverage.
No deletion in this wave rests on a probe alone.
Coverage is partial and stated as such: of 2,269 files, roughly 100 were read
case-by-case and the remainder reviewed at title-plus-import level. Each auditor listed
its own unread set. The largest remaining surfaces are `src/main/agent-hooks` (95),
`src/main/claude` (100), `src/renderer/src/lib/pane-manager` (62) and the 20 largest
sidebar suites.
Verified: 2,583 desktop test files / 25,636 cases pass, plus one pre-existing
`it.fails` marker; the two modified mobile files pass (57 cases);
`check-reliability-gates.mjs` 140 gates; `check:code-quality:changed` 0 new findings.
Both deleted files confirmed absent from the gate manifest, `cloud/package.json` and
`mobile/tests-typecheck-baseline.txt`.
