* 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
Move command and retained resource lifetimes into a shared verifier owner, keeping package workspace release as a separate dependency. Migrate Pi and Hermes verification to that owner while preserving open pipes, explicit EOF, diagnostics, and retained labs.
Require positive writable finalization before accepting EOF delivery. Cover premature close, opaque failures, late ownership delivery, mixed cleanup outcomes, exact retry, and real descendant cleanup with authored process boundaries.
