* test: focus assertions on behavioral evidence
Prune redundant and wording-coupled checks while retaining diagnostic, parser, recovery, and cleanup coverage.
* refactor: remove test-only wrappers and duplicate checks
Exercise production operations through test fixtures, remove unused adapters, and keep managed-member uncertainty guidance under its existing owner.
* test: focus process validation on diagnostic facts
* refactor: remove test-only runtime helpers
Move semantic evidence fixture setup out of runtime and remove unused Windows settle recovery helpers while checking configured defaults independently.
* test: focus artifact diagnostics on format facts
* test: verify retained cleanup guidance delivery
Bind and recheck the digest-verified snapshot used by codesign, retaining cleanup ownership when its identity changes. Classify unsigned only from the exact operand-framed diagnostic so echoed caller paths cannot turn unrelated failures into signature facts.
Closes#5636
Give each signature snapshot a private child-resource scope. Its composite
root lease closes those children before removing the directory and retains
both stages across failed retries. Bind local cleanup failures to their
exact owner so child release cannot clear a failed root removal.
Replace the mixed-outcome regression that expected premature root removal.
Cover real descriptor denial, primary/cancellation preservation, MCP close
and same-connection recovery. Expose underlying real codesign test errors
before asserting result fields.
Fixes#5052
Bind signature inspection to its named domain result and retain completed facts in typed cancellation. Check cancellation after descriptor and root finalization, preserve exact caller reasons, and keep physical failures primary. Use explicit cancellation checkpoints instead of signal-state guesses.
Validate root and descriptor cleanup, retries, late root handoff, opaque reasons, provider projections, and existing real codesign/CLI controls. No real OS close-failure or Windows qualification.
Refs #4735
Retain roots and descriptors through shared cleanup leases and bind composed errors to their actual pending owners. Successful retries shrink live attribution and reveal the original typed failure.
Validate mixed root and descriptor failures, partial/final release, existing target binding, and real codesign and CLI controls. No real OS close-failure or Windows qualification.
Refs #4734
Use the shared resource scope and private runtime root for signature snapshots. Retain failed file-handle/root cleanup, preserve primary failures alongside cleanup diagnostics, and wait for binding operations during client close before retrying owned resources.
Validate root cleanup failure, blocked retry, repeated client close and in-flight acquisition. Existing provider/MCP/CLI tests and the real Darwin codesign ancestor-swap case pass. Dedicated native file-handle close-failure injection remains unverified.
