mrwulf a6e5e89120 verification: lifted phases run under the buttons shell options, enforced in lift-guard
A lift is evidence about the shipping gate only if it executes the way the
shipping gate executes. Every button here runs `set -euo pipefail`. Eighteen
lift sites prefixed their driver with `set -uo pipefail` and no -e — four per
fork (selftest-harness, selftest-scalar-statements, selftest-statements twice)
and both accumulator lifts — while sixteen other sites got it right. The estate
did it both ways, which is what made this a defect and not a convention.

Without -e a failing command does not abort: execution continues and the driver
returns the LAST command status. A lifted phase can therefore reach a verdict
the shipping phase would never reach while the self-test reports the gate
"works". selftest_statements.sh:27 claims the tested logic IS the shipping
logic; in this respect it was not.

NO VERDICT CHANGED. Every self-test that passed before passes now, at the same
timings, so -e was not masking a false green at these commits. The defect was
fidelity and the claim is no larger than that.

The durable part is not the 18 edits. lift-guard.sh already inspects every
driver, so it now REFUSES any lift whose driver does not enable errexit and
prints the drivers actual shell options. Negative-tested four ways: no -e
rejects, `set -euo` passes, bare `set -e` passes, no set line at all rejects.
Byte-identical across the four forks. The nineteenth lift someone writes fails
closed rather than silently testing a more permissive shell.

Certified by the round-15 sweep: 50/50 GREEN, six repositories, both buttons
and every self-test, exit 0.

Registered and NOT fixed here: ltl-accumulator-verified has no lift-guard.sh
at all and calls it zero times, so its two lifts remain unguarded — the one
place this class can still recur silently.

# selftest-harness.sh — adversarial self-test for check.sh Phase 0c.
#
# Phase 0c pins the scripts and policy files the button itself runs on. The
# attack it exists to stop is the cheapest one in the estate: don't touch the
# proofs at all, edit the checker. Round-5 review of the companion SLH-DSA
# repository stubbed the compiler wrapper alone and got ALL GREEN in 3.6
# seconds over deliberately destroyed proofs.
#
# Cases, each asserting a SPECIFIC diagnostic:
# 0 positive control: untouched tree passes
# 1 a pinned harness file edited by one byte → does not match its pin
# 2 a NEW executable appears, unpinned → set mismatch
# 3 an entry DELETED from HARNESS.sha256 → set mismatch, NOT a
# silent un-pin (this is the shape of the defect SLH-DSA round-6 found:
# dropping a key un-pinned two files with no diagnostic at all)
# 4 HARNESS.sha256 itself removed → fail-closed
#
# Phase 0c is lifted out of check.sh at run time, so the tested logic IS the
# shipping logic. Cheap: no Lean, runs in about a second.
