Summary

Follow-up to PR #423's audit (CLAUDE.md Active Backlog Item 31) and PR #424's first fix. This PR
now closes out every remaining scenario the audit flagged, and moves Item 31 to
docs/agent-closed-backlog.md as fully resolved.

Scenario 23 / Scenario 36 (HP_PVW_KNOWN_IDEMPOTENT execute-mode discovery) each had only 3
real console quotes against the doc's 5-quote house-rule minimum. While sourcing additional real
quotes from the actual CI job log (run 30328748330, job 90179708109, uv lane), traced the
real call order in run_setup.bat and found a genuine, pre-existing factual bug in both scenarios'
own prose: they claimed the discovery run fires "right after entry selection returns... the very
next thing on screen after the entry is chosen." That's wrong. :determine_entry is actually
called twice -- an early, silent pass right after the Python provider is selected (the one
:pvw_known_idempotent_run's own gate depends on), and a later pass, reached only after the
entire dependency-install phase completes, that's the one which actually echoes "Chosen entry:
..." on screen. The real captured log confirms this directly. Both scenarios now quote the
provider-selection line before and the real "Chosen entry"/"Entry selected" pair after -- 6 quotes
each, both now factually correct about the ordering.

"Reactive-only failure hint" (Part VIII): its own section title promised coverage of "both
Tier A and requirement 9's real-build-failure paths" but only ever quoted requirement 9's. Added
the genuinely distinct Tier A (:try_nuitka_tier_a) failure messages from source
([Extrapolated Branch], since no CI run has exercised a real Nuitka compiler failure) -- the
section now actually covers what its own title claims. 5 quotes total (was 2).

Scenario 26 (Conda base periodic update): added the "last update < 30 days ago" skip branch --
a real, deterministic literal string from source, not previously documented at all, and in
practice more common than the "first install" skip already shown (it's what fires on every
ordinary repeat bootstrap within the 30-day window) -- plus the update-failure line, previously
only described in prose, not quoted. 5 quotes total (was 3).

Scenario 41 (Interactive verification: live-tee, activity-aware kill): added the PID-display
line and the live-teed program's own real stdout (hello-from-stub), cross-cited from an earlier
real capture already in the same doc (run 30328748330, job 90179708091) that already confirmed
both as genuine, working console output belonging to this exact mechanism. 5 quotes total (was 3).

Item 31 is now fully resolved -- moved from CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog to
docs/agent-closed-backlog.md's Closed Active Backlog Items section (keeping its original
number), consolidating the full resolution history across all three PRs (#423/#424/#425) in one
place.

No run_setup.bat changes; no code paths touched -- documentation-accuracy fixes only.

Test plan

  • tools/run_sanity_sweep.sh -- all clean, 515 passed / 3 skipped.
  • Ordering claim (Scenario 23/36) verified directly against run_setup.bat source (both
    :determine_entry call sites and the single :record_chosen_entry call site traced by
    hand) and against the real CI job log, not assumed.
  • All new quotes sourced from either a real, downloaded CI job log or run_setup.bat's own
    current literal source text (never fabricated), each labeled per the doc's own sourcing
    convention.
  • Markdown paren-balance checked on every edited section after editing.

Generated by Claude Code

While sourcing additional real quotes for Scenario 23/36 (both about
HP_PVW_KNOWN_IDEMPOTENT execute-mode discovery), traced the actual
call order in run_setup.bat and found the doc's own ordering claim was
wrong: it said the discovery run fires "right after entry selection
returns," but :determine_entry is genuinely called TWICE -- an early,
silent pass right after provider selection (which
:pvw_known_idempotent_run's own gate depends on), and a later one,
after the entire dependency-install phase, that's the one which
actually echoes "Chosen entry: ...". Confirmed directly against the
real captured job log (run 30328748330, job 90179708109, uv lane):
discovery fires right after "[BOOT] REQ-009: Selected Python provider:
UV.", well before any entry announcement.

Both scenarios now quote the provider-selection line before and the
real "Chosen entry"/"Entry selected" pair after, both past the 5-quote
minimum and both now factually correct about the ordering.

Updates CLAUDE.md Item 31's tracking (3 shortfalls remain, was 5).

Learning: In the documentation files describing the removed UNC warning check in `run_setup.bat`, state only verified behavior: the check emitted `[WARN] UNC paths not supported` for an ordinary local path and was removed because the separate UNC-prefix guard already handles UNC detection. Do not assert the exact `findstr` or cmd.exe backslash-parsing mechanism, since it was not independently verified.

No documentation update is required.

CodeRabbit finding on PR #425: Scenario 36's console block has 6
lines (4 in the discovery block + 2 in the Chosen entry block), same
as Scenario 23, not 5 as the tracking note said. Confirmed by direct
recount against the current file.

Closes out CLAUDE.md Active Backlog Item 31 entirely -- all 7 originally
flagged scenarios (2026-08-08 audit) now meet the 5-quote house-rule
minimum:

- "Reactive-only failure hint" (Part VIII): its own section title
  promised coverage of "both Tier A and requirement 9's real-build-
  failure paths" but only ever quoted requirement 9's. Added the
  distinct Tier A (:try_nuitka_tier_a) failure messages from source
  (both call sites, [Extrapolated Branch] since no CI run has hit a
  real Nuitka compiler failure) -- the section now actually covers
  what its title claims. 5 quotes total (was 2).

- Scenario 26 (Conda base periodic update): added the "last update <
  30 days ago" skip branch -- a real, deterministic literal string
  from source, not previously documented at all, and in practice more
  common than the "first install" skip already shown (it's what fires
  on every ordinary repeat bootstrap within the 30-day window) -- plus
  the update-failure line, previously only described in prose. 5
  quotes total (was 3).

- Scenario 41 (Interactive verification): added the PID-display line
  and the live-teed program's own real stdout (hello-from-stub),
  cross-cited from an earlier real capture in the same doc (run
  30328748330, job 90179708091) that already confirmed both as
  genuine console output belonging to this exact live-tee mechanism.
  5 quotes total (was 3).

Item 31 is now fully resolved -- moved from CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog
to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md's Closed Active Backlog Items section
(keeping its original number), consolidating the full three-PR
resolution history (#423/#424/#425) in one place.
