Deletes 101 test files and trims 112 more, all matching documented junk patterns: exact source/import/string greps, copied inventories and export lists, duplicate invocations of a contract another test already owns, typeof-shape checks TypeScript already enforces, and self-comparisons. The largest group read a production `.ts` file and asserted on its text — for example a TaskPage test that required the source to contain `selectedRepos.find((r) => r.id === newIssueRepoId) ?? selectedRepos[0] ?? null`. Any behavior-preserving rename broke it; no behavior change ever did. Production-side follow-through: exports that only these tests imported are de-exported or deleted, stale comments pointing at removed censuses are dropped, and the reliability-gate registry, `cloud/package.json` test lists, and orphaned source-reading helpers are updated so nothing references a deleted file. Two files kept their real coverage and lost only the census scaffolding: `agent-status-producer-census.test.ts` now drives all five producers end to end instead of grepping the source tree, and `config-toml-trust-stale-writes` replaces an export-list parity check.
Packaged Windows PTY native capability smoke
This narrow harness runs the packaged Orca.exe with ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 and loads its bundled node-pty. Checkout Node processes provide the target/canary shell fixtures, so the smoke proves the packaged native addon without putting a GUI-subsystem Electron executable under ConPTY. A 256-bit fixture token binds the target shell, a grandchild that remains live after its intermediate launcher exits, and an unrelated canary to one unique named-pipe channel; the oracle checks the patched exports, job PIDs, exact job-handle termination, PTY/socket exit events, and canary survival.
Run it against an unpacked Windows package:
pnpm run smoke:windows-pty-native-capability -- --exe=dist/win-unpacked/Orca.exe
The official v1.4.158 package is the causal red artifact: it fails immediately because its
packaged node-pty lacks assignCurrentProcessToJob. Candidate green evidence comes from the
required Windows packaging job, which runs this smoke without retries. The one-shot probe flushes
its evidence and exits explicitly because direct native job termination intentionally bypasses
node-pty's ConPTY-worker disposal path; a 45-second outer ceiling reports bounded stdout, stderr,
and native-stage breadcrumbs if any boundary stops progressing.
