Item 46 Bucket A Batch 1: collapse the conda-acquisition-probe die-fallthrough chain - #468
Conversation
…nda-acquisition-probe chain) Full trace of all 20 remaining call :die sites, grouped into 6 batches by shape and risk (docs/plan-die-fatal-remediation.md's Finding 3 / Batch Roadmap). Records the maintainer's decision: continue targeted gotos as a deliberate stopgap, batched by proven shape; a durable close-the-class fix (:die itself halting the process) is deferred to a later, separately-scoped effort once the batch work shrinks the remaining inventory. Implements Batch 1: the conda-acquisition-probe chain (conda.bat not found / 'conda'/'python' not on PATH / 'python -V' failed / Conda not found at:) could previously stack up to 4-5 redundant [ERROR]/pause pairs for one root cause before reaching the real sink. Each of the 5 call :die sites now goto :after_env_mode_selection, mirroring the already-proven slice 1 pattern. Extends tests/selfapps_conda_bothfail.ps1 (which already reaches this exact fall-through chain via :tci_both_failed) with assertions proving the cascade collapses instead of adding a new test hook. Not pushed yet -- holding per instruction to avoid disrupting other in-flight CI from concurrent active-backlog work.
