# Every variable the LIFTED PAYLOAD reads must be one the DRIVER defines.

# ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# WHY THIS EXISTS — 2026-08-02
#
# Five of this repository's self-tests work by lifting one phase out of
# check.sh and running it standalone against a deliberately corrupted tree.
# That is the right design: the test then attacks the SHIPPING gate rather
# than a re-implementation of it. But a lifted phase is a fragment, and it
# reads variables its neighbours defined. Each self-test therefore carries a
# hand-written preamble supplying them.
#
# A hand-written preamble is a hand-kept list, and hand-kept lists drift. Twice
# in two days a phase grew a dependency and no preamble was told:
#
#   · Phase 2c grew an accounting block reading $KERNLOG, a file Phase 2b
#     creates. selftest-shapes.sh died on its first expansion under `set -u`.
#     It could not pass on any fork from the moment that block was added.
#
#   · Phase 2b changed from globbing Proofs/*.lean to reading the $PROOFS
#     membership manifest — the spelling-versus-ownership fix ScalarPackSpec
#     forced. selftest-axgate.sh's preamble was never told. Bash does NOT
#     error on an unset array expansion under `set -u`; it expands to nothing,
#     so `printf '"%s.olean", ' "${PROOFS[@]}"` silently produced
#         expected := [".olean"]
#     — one entry, empty name — and the gate's own fail-closed absence check
#     rejected it. The baseline went red and both attack cases were then
#     rejected for the WRONG REASON.
#
# Both failed loudly rather than passing vacuously, which is the only reason
# they were not false assurance. That is luck, not design: a missing variable
# that happens to make an ATTACK case die still looks like the attack being
# caught, and only the substring assertions in each `expect` helper stand
# between that and a green test measuring nothing.
#
# The fix for the CLASS is to stop maintaining the list by hand. This tool
# derives the requirement from the two artifacts themselves, so a phase that
# grows a new dependency fails AT LIFT TIME, naming it, instead of dying
# mid-run or — worse — passing for the wrong reason.
#
# WHAT IT IS NOT. This is a shell-text approximation, not a bash parser: it
# cannot see indirect expansion, `eval`, or a name built at runtime. It is a
# tripwire on the failure mode that actually occurred twice, not a proof of
# closure. Its answer is advisory in one direction only — it can miss a
# dependency, it does not invent one, and every name it reports is a name the
# payload genuinely mentions and the driver genuinely does not set.

FATAL: $LABEL reads variables this lift does not define: $UNBOUND
       Either lift their definitions too — VERBATIM from check.sh, with a
       sed range, so this test cannot drift away from the button's idea of
       them — or end the lift range before the block that uses them.
       Do NOT stub them: a stub makes the test measure something the button
       never runs, which is how a self-test becomes decoration.
