Summary

CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog Item 39: the EXE fast path's freshness check (HP_FAST_CHECK) was mtime-only over *.py files, exposing two gaps:

  • (a) A timestamp-preserving delivery method (a ZIP, xcopy, robocopy) could carry a genuinely changed file whose mtime still predates the built EXE, silently reusing stale logic with no signal to the user (the item's own "colleague emails a fixed analysis.py inside a ZIP" scenario).

  • (b) requirements.txt/pyproject.toml/runtime.txt changes were invisible to the scan entirely, mtime or not.

  • HP_FAST_CHECK now compares a content hash, not mtime -- a composite SHA256 over the same non-infra *.py file set already scanned, extended to those three dependency files when present. This closes both exposures at once rather than picking one of the item's two suggested fix directions.

  • Gave this payload a canonical source, tools/fast_check.ps1 (it previously had none -- only an inline base64 blob). Two modes via a second positional arg: check (default, unchanged :try_fast_exe call site) compares against a stored ~fast_check.hash.txt; write (new subroutine :write_fast_hash, called from :success) (re)writes it after a genuine fresh build attempt -- gated on HP_FASTPATH_USED so the already-fast reuse case never pays a redundant second hash pass.

  • Uses [System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256] directly, not Get-FileHash, per this repo's own "Prefer raw .NET types over Utility-module cmdlets" lesson (docs/agent-lessons-learned.md) -- Get-FileHash is not guaranteed to auto-load in the -File invocation shape this repo's embedded helpers run under on real Windows PowerShell 5.1.

  • A missing stored hash (first run under this fix, or an EXE built by an older run_setup.bat) is a safe "not fresh" default -- forces exactly one rebuild, never a false "fresh."

Coverage

  • tests/selfapps_fastpath_hash.ps1 (uv lane, non-gating for first landing) is the exact scenario Item 39 itself asked for: run 1 builds the EXE printing a V1 token; entry.py is rewritten to print V2 and its mtime backdated to 2001-09-09 (well before the EXE's own mtime) before run 2; asserts run 2's captured EXE stdout shows V2 (not V1) and the "Fast path: reusing" line is absent -- direct evidence a genuine rebuild happened, not just a log-text coincidence.
  • tests/test_fast_check.py unit-tests the isolated script directly via real pwsh (6 scenarios: no stored hash, write-then-fresh, backdated-mtime content change, dependency-file-only change, rewrite-after-change, missing EXE), plus a PayloadSync byte-equality check against tools/fast_check.ps1.
  • tests/harness.ps1's new batch.fastpath.hash_write statically guards the :write_fast_hash wiring.
  • Docs updated in the same commit: CLAUDE.md's Item 39 entry, docs/agent-ndjson.md's row registry, docs/agent-interconnect.md's "EXE fast path" section (the read/write call-site pairing that must stay in sync).

Non-gating for its first landing (uv lane) since this touches the highest-traffic path in the whole file (every run reaches :try_fast_exe) and could not be verified end-to-end on real Windows locally -- promote once proven stable across several real CI runs, matching this repo's established graduation pattern.

Verification

  • tools/run_sanity_sweep.sh run_setup.bat tests/harness.ps1 tests/test_fast_check.py tools/fast_check.ps1 tests/selfapps_fastpath_hash.ps1 .github/workflows/batch-check.yml docs/agent-ndjson.md docs/agent-interconnect.md CLAUDE.md -- all checks pass (compileall, pyflakes, delimiter check, CRLF check, markdownlint, yamllint, actionlint, ASCII sweep, PowerShell AST parse sweep, full pytest: 560 passed / 3 skipped).
  • tools/fast_check.ps1's logic manually verified end-to-end via real pwsh before wiring into run_setup.bat (all 6 scenarios behave correctly, including the core backdated-mtime case).

… 39)

The freshness check was mtime-only over *.py files, so a timestamp-preserving
delivery method (a ZIP, xcopy, robocopy) could carry a genuinely changed file
whose mtime still predated the built EXE, silently reusing stale logic with
no signal to the user -- and requirements.txt/pyproject.toml/runtime.txt
changes were invisible to the scan entirely, mtime or not.

HP_FAST_CHECK (now with a canonical tools/fast_check.ps1 source) hashes the
same *.py file set already scanned, extended to those three dependency
files, and compares against a stored ~fast_check.hash.txt via a new
:write_fast_hash subroutine called from :success (gated on HP_FASTPATH_USED
so the fast-reuse case never pays a redundant second hash pass). Uses
[System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256] directly, not Get-FileHash, per this
repo's own Utility-module-cmdlet-autoload lesson.

Adds tests/selfapps_fastpath_hash.ps1 (uv lane, non-gating for first
landing) -- the exact backdated-mtime coverage gap the item asked for --
plus tests/test_fast_check.py unit-testing the isolated script via real
pwsh, and a static wiring guard in harness.ps1.

  • Batch special characters: &, %, ^, !, ~ in variable values require quoting
    or escaping. % in particular must be doubled (%%) inside for loops.
  1. Bootstrap reliability > API correctness. A feature depending on "maybe PATH is set" or
    "activation might work" is invalid for bootstrap paths -- determinism is non-negotiable.
  2. Never depend on console scripts during bootstrap (pipreqs, pytest, etc. all require
    Scripts/ on PATH and activation state neither is guaranteed) -- use explicit interpreter
    paths or direct Python APIs instead.
  3. All execution must be interpreter-anchored: every tool invocation roots in an explicit
    Python executable path (%HP_PY% or %CONDA_PREFIX%\python.exe), never PATH/activation.
  4. Bootstrap must fail fast and explicitly -- no silent fallbacks unless explicitly logged.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved executable freshness detection using content hashes instead of file timestamps.
    • Detects changes to source, dependency, and configuration files, including backdated files and missing hash data.
    • Prevents stale executable reuse and records freshness data only after successful builds.
  • Documentation

    • Documented content-hash freshness tracking, build safeguards, and validation scenarios.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for source and dependency changes, missing hashes, payload synchronization, and Windows executable rebuild behavior.

Walkthrough

The EXE fast path now uses deterministic SHA-256 hashes over eligible Python and dependency files. Fresh builds persist hashes only after confirmed build success. Tests cover source and dependency changes, missing hashes, payload synchronization, and backdated timestamps.

Changes

EXE fast-path freshness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Content-hash checker and synchronized payload
tools/fast_check.ps1, tests/test_fast_check.py, run_setup.bat
The checker supports check and write modes. It hashes eligible Python and dependency files and validates the stored hash and executable. Tests cover freshness behavior and embedded-payload synchronization.
Setup hash-write integration
run_setup.bat, tests/harness.ps1
Setup resets HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK for each fresh build attempt and writes the hash only after successful PyInstaller or Nuitka output. Static checks validate the subroutine, gate, and write-mode invocation.
End-to-end regression coverage and records
tests/selfapps_fastpath_hash.ps1, .github/workflows/batch-check.yml, docs/agent-ndjson.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/agent-interconnect.md
The Windows scenario verifies that backdated source changes trigger a rebuild. CI runs the non-gating test, and documentation records the hash behavior and test coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to df2d7

The new freshness mechanism can still record a source hash for an executable that was not successfully rebuilt, allowing a later run to silently reuse stale application code. This core state-transition issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge; otherwise the change is not yet merge-ready.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/batch-check.yml:
- Around line 638-643: Update the “Upload test logs” configuration to include
both slash- and backslash-style artifact paths for
tests/~selftest_fastpath_hash, covering both run logs, ~setup.log, and
~run.out.txt; also add the corresponding NDJSON row for these newly uploaded
scenario logs.

In `@run_setup.bat`:
- Around line 2189-2192: Replace the HP_FASTPATH_USED-based gate around
:write_fast_hash with an explicit successful fresh-build flag: clear it before
packaging, set it only after the current build creates dist\%ENVNAME%.exe, and
invoke :write_fast_hash only when that flag is set. Add a regression case
covering a stale existing EXE with a skipped or failed rebuild, ensuring the
stored hash is not updated.

In `@tests/harness.ps1`:
- Around line 415-419: Update the assertions near $hasWriteFastHashLabel,
$hasWriteFastHashCall, and $hasWriteModeArg to first extract the :success and
:write_fast_hash subroutine bodies. Match the HP_FASTPATH_USED-gated call only
within :success, and match the payload write invocation only within
:write_fast_hash, while preserving the existing label check and result
reporting.

In `@tests/selfapps_fastpath_hash.ps1`:
- Around line 94-110: After the successful first Invoke-Bootstrap call, assert
that the stored-hash artifact created by the fast-path build exists before
rewriting entry.py; use the existing hash artifact path or helper rather than
introducing a separate location, and ensure the assertion verifies run 1
actually persisted the hash.
- Around line 46-57: Update the non-Windows guard in the
self.fastpath.hash.backdated_mtime test to determine the platform via
[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Platform instead of $IsWindows, while preserving
the existing skip output and early exit for non-Windows hosts.

In `@tools/fast_check.ps1`:
- Line 1: Prepend the TLS 1.2 SecurityProtocol assignment to the PowerShell
script before the existing comment, ensuring it appears before any PowerShell
5.1 Invoke-WebRequest call.

HP_FASTPATH_USED being unset does not prove a build succeeded this run --
a skipped or genuinely failed rebuild also leaves it unset, and if a stale
dist\<env>.exe from an earlier successful run was still sitting there
untouched, the original gate would write the CURRENT (changed) sources'
hash paired against that OLD binary. The next run would then wrongly trust
the stale EXE as "fresh", reintroducing Item 39's own bug one layer down.

Fixed with a new, more precise flag, HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK: reset once per
fresh build attempt, set ONLY in the 4 genuine build-success branches
inside :run_entry_smoke's PyInstaller/Tier-A build block, never on a
warn_build_incomplete path. Since a build can only be attempted after the
fast path declines to fire, this is a strictly more precise replacement
for the old gate, not an additional condition -- :success now checks
HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK alone.

Also fixes two smaller review findings: harness.ps1's static wiring check
now scopes its assertions to :success/:write_fast_hash's own bodies
(bounded by the next label) instead of whole-file matches that could pass
on unrelated text; the new selfapps test now asserts run 1 genuinely wrote
the stored hash before proceeding, closing a gap where a completely broken
write side would have been indistinguishable from a working one (a missing
hash file also safely forces a rebuild). Uploads the new test's scenario
logs as CI artifacts, matching every sibling scenario's convention.

Two other CodeRabbit findings investigated and NOT applied, with reasoning
left in a PR reply: the $IsWindows Windows-PowerShell-5.1 concern doesn't
apply here since this script (like 47 others in the repo) runs via
`shell: pwsh` in CI, not classic powershell.exe; the suggested TLS 1.2
SecurityProtocol assignment doesn't apply since fast_check.ps1 makes no
network calls at all.

3603-3605: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Report hash-write failures explicitly.

If the PowerShell helper cannot write ~fast_check.hash.txt, this subroutine deletes the helper and returns success. The bootstrap then reports success without recording that the cache was not updated. The safe fallback is a rebuild on the next run, but the failure can repeat silently.

Capture the exit code immediately and log a warning.

Proposed fix
 powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "%HP_FAST_CHECK_PS%" "dist\%ENVNAME%.exe" write >> "%LOG%" 2>&1
+set "HP_FAST_HASH_RC=%ERRORLEVEL%"
+if not "%HP_FAST_HASH_RC%"=="0" call :log "[WARN] Fast-path hash write failed; the next run will rebuild."
 if exist "%HP_FAST_CHECK_PS%" del "%HP_FAST_CHECK_PS%" >nul 2>&1
+set "HP_FAST_HASH_RC="
 exit /b 0

As per coding guidelines, "Bootstrap must fail fast and explicitly -- no silent fallbacks unless explicitly logged."

run_setup.bat: run_setup.bat must function as a single bootstrapper when dropped beside the application, without requiring committed helper files.
Every branch added to run_setup.bat or its related helpers must have a CI test, including feature flags, fallbacks, recovery paths, and fast/full paths.
Keep bootstrapper log messages synchronized with CI parsers; update workflow checks whenever messages or status summaries change.
All embedded helpers must remain base64-encoded under :define_helper_payloads; changing one requires synchronizing the matching HP_* line and rerunning delimiter checks.
Do not remove tilde prefixes from runtime artifact paths such as ~bootstrap.status.json, ~setup.log, ~environment.lock.txt, and ~env.state.json.

run_setup.bat: This is the deliverable. Treat changes carefully.
2. Delimiter-check after every edit:
3. Three code paths exist (cache / real / conda-full lanes) -- test all three after
significant changes by checking CI results across all lanes.
4. Bootstrap status contract: every run writes ~bootstrap.status.json:

Four fixes from a second CodeRabbit review round on PR #460 (all against
commit 8eaa271, the HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK fix): defensively reset
HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK at the very top of the file (before the first
:try_fast_exe call), not just inside :run_entry_smoke, so a
provider-cascade re-entry hitting the preflight-failure early-return can
never leave a stale value behind; :write_fast_hash now captures and logs
a nonzero hash-write exit code instead of silently swallowing it;
selfapps_fastpath_hash.ps1 now validates the persisted hash's actual
content (not just existence) and asserts the backdated-mtime precondition
the whole scenario depends on genuinely held; and the new
~fast_check.hash.txt artifact is now included in the CI log upload step.

Pushed df2d766 fixing all 4 actionable findings from the latest review round:

  1. Defensive HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK reset at the top of the file (alongside the existing HP_FASTPATH_USED= reset, before the first :try_fast_exe call) — closes the theoretical gap where a provider-cascade re-entry hitting :run_entry_smoke's preflight-failure early-return (HP_PREFLIGHT_FAILED) would skip the in-subroutine reset.
  2. :write_fast_hash now captures and logs a nonzero hash-write exit code ([WARN] Fast-path hash write failed; the next run will rebuild.) instead of silently swallowing it — matches this repo's "no silent fallbacks unless explicitly logged" principle.
  3. selfapps_fastpath_hash.ps1 now validates the persisted hash's actual content, not just its existence — reads ~fast_check.hash.txt and checks it matches tools/fast_check.ps1's own canonical format (64-char lowercase hex SHA256), folded into $pass.
  4. Same test now asserts the backdated-mtime precondition actually held (entry.py's mtime is genuinely older than the built EXE's) before trusting run 2's outcome as evidence the hash path did the detecting, not a coincidental mtime-check trigger — also folded into $pass.

Also added the new ~fast_check.hash.txt artifact to the CI log upload step (both path-style variants), per the coding guideline for new observable artifacts.

Full local sanity sweep re-verified green (compileall, pyflakes, delimiter check, CRLF check, markdownlint, yamllint, actionlint, ASCII sweep, PowerShell AST parse sweep, 560 passed / 3 skipped).

Two real findings, both fixed:

1. ECHO_LINE_RE missed the command-echo-suppressed "@echo" form, so a
   same-line nested paren pair on an "@echo" line would go untracked the
   same way the redirected-echo gap did before it was fixed. Now matches
   an optional leading "@". New regression test
   test_paren_pair_on_at_echo_line_nested_is_flagged.

2. Real pre-existing bug (not introduced by this PR, but in the diff's
   review scope): the warnfix-triggered PyInstaller rebuild's two failure
   branches set HP_BOOTSTRAP_STATE=error but never cleared
   HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK, so :write_fast_hash would still pair the CURRENT
   sources with whatever stale, warnfix-incomplete EXE is left in dist\
   from before the failed rebuild -- the next run's fast path would then
   wrongly trust it as fresh and skip retrying the repair. Mirrors the
   identical PR #460 fix already applied to the ORIGINAL build's own
   failure branches. Unlike a DLL-bundle/hidden-import repair loop
   failure (bundling-only, does not need this per
   docs/agent-interconnect.md), a failed warnfix rebuild means the
   current EXE genuinely lacks a needed dependency, so the flag must be
   cleared here too. New static harness check
   batch.warnfix.fresh_build_ok_clear guards both branches, scoped to
   :run_entry_smoke's own body so it cannot pass on unrelated text
   elsewhere.

Deliberately did NOT also delete the stored fast-check hash file (as
CodeRabbit's own suggested diff did) -- the content-hash comparison
already handles the "sources changed" case correctly regardless, and
unconditionally deleting it would force an unnecessary rebuild on the
next run even when the existing dist\ EXE is still genuinely fine (a
transient warnfix-rebuild failure with unchanged sources). Clearing
HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK alone is the precise fix.

…-line-paren question (#464)

* Close Item 42's tag-classification precondition (lever 1)

Classifies the 6 remaining :log tags lever 1's own INFO/BOOT/WARN/ERROR
wording never named: STATUS, REPAIR, and HINT are visible-by-default
(each is directly actionable or the run's own success/failure readout);
INSTALL joins DEBUG/TRACE as suppressed-by-default (it sits strictly
beneath the INFO-tier dependency-install progress line already shipped,
and the file's own header comment at that call site already anticipated
this classification).

Also audits every test for a live-console-echo dependency on DEBUG/TRACE/
INSTALL before any tiering mechanism gets built: selfapps_pipgap.ps1 reads
~setup.log (untouched by tiering, not a blocker); selfapps_pvw_overrides.ps1
reads the console-redirected bootstrap log for a [DEBUG] line and would
break the moment console suppression ships -- flagged as the one thing that
must be fixed in the same change that implements lever 1's actual mechanism.

Deliberately scoped to classification + audit only, not the tiering
mechanism itself -- :log has 425 call sites, and this repo's own established
discipline for a change at that blast radius is one careful slice at a time
(see the DLL-bundling and hidden-import repair loops' own multi-slice
history elsewhere in this backlog).

* Close Item 61: same-line nested paren pairs are unsafe at any depth

Real cmd.exe evidence (the paren-nesting hazard probe, PR #461, run
manually by the maintainer after this session's GitHub integration hit a
403 trying to dispatch it itself) settles Item 61's last open question:
a same-line, self-contained (/) pair nested inside a real if/for block
corrupts cmd.exe's parsing at ANY nesting depth, with or without a >>
redirection prefix -- even the shallowest case (one level, no redirect)
failed identically to the known-broken control.

check_delimiters.py's pop() no longer exempts a same-line close from the
prose-paren hazard check -- only whether the pair is nested at all matters
now, not whether it closes on the same or a later line. A related gap
found while verifying against a real regression fixture: the echo-line
detector never recognized a redirected form like '>> "%LOG%" echo ...'
(the exact shape that broke in PR #445) as an echo line at all, so its
own paren pair went untracked regardless of the same-line fix -- closed
via a new ECHO_LINE_RE that matches an optional redirection clause before
"echo". Two existing tests flipped from asserting "not flagged" to
asserting "flagged" (their own comments already said this would happen
once the checker caught up); one new test locks in the one shape that
remains genuinely safe -- a plain top-level echo/rem with no enclosing
block at all.

Running the fixed checker against run_setup.bat surfaced 63 genuine,
previously-invisible findings -- individually read in context and
reworded to remove the literal parens, in batches, following this repo's
established one-slice-at-a-time discipline for a change at this blast
radius. Every changed line is a rem/echo line; no functional code or
log-message content changed except one user-facing echo line reworded
for clarity.

docs/open-questions.md item 5 removed (fully answered). CLAUDE.md's Item
61 entry closed and moved to docs/agent-closed-backlog.md.
docs/agent-lessons-learned.md's corresponding entry updated with the
confirmed, final rule.

   same-line nested paren pair on an "@echo" line would go untracked the
   same way the redirected-echo gap did before it was fixed. Now matches
   an optional leading "@". New regression test
   test_paren_pair_on_at_echo_line_nested_is_flagged.

2. Real pre-existing bug (not introduced by this PR, but in the diff's
   review scope): the warnfix-triggered PyInstaller rebuild's two failure
   branches set HP_BOOTSTRAP_STATE=error but never cleared
   HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK, so :write_fast_hash would still pair the CURRENT
   sources with whatever stale, warnfix-incomplete EXE is left in dist\
   from before the failed rebuild -- the next run's fast path would then
   wrongly trust it as fresh and skip retrying the repair. Mirrors the
   identical PR #460 fix already applied to the ORIGINAL build's own
   failure branches. Unlike a DLL-bundle/hidden-import repair loop
   failure (bundling-only, does not need this per
   docs/agent-interconnect.md), a failed warnfix rebuild means the
   current EXE genuinely lacks a needed dependency, so the flag must be
   cleared here too. New static harness check
   batch.warnfix.fresh_build_ok_clear guards both branches, scoped to
   :run_entry_smoke's own body so it cannot pass on unrelated text
   elsewhere.

Deliberately did NOT also delete the stored fast-check hash file (as
CodeRabbit's own suggested diff did) -- the content-hash comparison
already handles the "sources changed" case correctly regardless, and
unconditionally deleting it would force an unnecessary rebuild on the
next run even when the existing dist\ EXE is still genuinely fine (a
transient warnfix-rebuild failure with unchanged sources). Clearing
HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK alone is the precise fix.

* Fix batch.req005.warn_gate regression from Item 61's pipreqs-WARN reword

The Item 61 paren-hazard fix reworded run_setup.bat's pipreqs auto-detect
WARN from "...auto-detected (pipreqs)" to "...auto-detected via pipreqs"
(the nested same-line parens were a real hazard per the newly-confirmed
cmd.exe rule). tests/harness.ps1's batch.req005.warn_gate check still
required the old literal string, so it failed on every CI lane -- caught
via 4 non-gating-lane CI failures on the same commit. Updated the check's
expected pattern, plus the doc/test references to the old wording that
were purely cosmetic (a demo-output sample and a comment/assertion string
in a negative-match test that would have passed either way).

* Register batch.warnfix.fresh_build_ok_clear in the NDJSON row registry

The CodeRabbit-requested HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK fix (commit 986e33f) added a
new static harness.ps1 check emitting this row id, but per CLAUDE.md's
AGENT DIRECTIVE it was never added to docs/agent-ndjson.md's registry --
caught by the ndjson-registry-check advisory CI job. python tools/
check_ndjson_registry.py now reports a clean PASS (328/328 IDs matched).

* Fix false positive: nested prose paren at top level wrongly flagged

CodeRabbit's review of PR #464 found a real bug in check_delimiters.py's
Item 61 fix: the "already nested" hazard test was bool(self.stack), true
the moment ANY bracket is open -- including a prior prose paren from the
SAME echo/rem line's own text, not just a genuine enclosing if/for block.
Reproduced directly: `echo outer (inner (detail))` at true top level (no
enclosing block anywhere) wrongly flagged its own second paren.

Fixed by adding a per-line `is_prose` fact to StackItem (independent of
stack state) and basing the hazard verdict on whether a genuine
structural (non-prose) bracket is already open, not on stack
non-emptiness. Verified against the reported false positive (now clean)
and both existing true-positive shapes (same-line and cross-line pairs
genuinely nested inside a real if(...) block -- still correctly flagged).

No live instance of this shape existed in run_setup.bat itself (clean
before and after), so this closes a latent risk for future edits.

Item 39 (EXE fast-path freshness check, mtime-only -> content-hash) was
fully implemented, CodeRabbit-reviewed, and tested as of PR #460
(2026-08-23) -- confirmed by re-reading its own text, which contains no
remaining "still open" work, unlike Items 38/42 which explicitly do.
It was left in CLAUDE.md's Active Backlog past its actual completion
date, past this file's own "1000+ tokens per session" cost for an item
with nothing left to implement. Moved verbatim to
docs/agent-closed-backlog.md per this repo's house rule, updated the two
auto-loaded cross-references in docs/agent-interconnect.md and
docs/agent-ndjson.md to the established "former Active Backlog Item N
(closed)" wording. In-code rem comments in run_setup.bat/tools/tests
keep their stable "Item 39" historical pointers unchanged, matching
existing precedent for other closed items (e.g. Item 45's own comments).

Pure documentation reorganization -- no functional or test change.

Pre-existing inaccuracy caught by CodeRabbit's review of the Item 39
archival: this description of :write_fast_hash's gate still said
"gated on HP_FASTPATH_USED being unset" -- but per Item 39's own
(newly-archived) closed-backlog text, HP_FASTPATH_USED was replaced by
the more precise HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK flag before that PR (#460) landed.
Confirmed against the real run_setup.bat source: the actual call site
is "if defined HP_FRESH_BUILD_OK call :write_fast_hash". Fixed the
wording to match shipped behavior.
