* 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
Keep independent Objective-C class, metaclass, category and protocol records when an adopted-protocol list is unreadable. The shared list reader retains readable prefixes through tagged Result failures; consumers preserve partial/unknown semantics with unchanged limits. Advance the source-owned reader commitment to v3 and reject stale v2 snapshot bindings.
Validated with 232 focused tests, current-main and original-proposal RED checks, named provider-result/schema/identity controls, and a verified public GLFW Mach-O paired with independent LLVM/Python byte evidence. Ordinary binary results remain identical; a deliberately mutated count preserves ten rows instead of eight. The final head passes the real macOS CI lane, with twelve CLI tests including both new protocol-count cases over CLI and stdio MCP. Snapshot binding and same-version replay checks pass.
The original unchecked human declarations are preserved. The explicit maintainer readiness exception applies after technical CI and automated review, without adding a human-review attestation.
Fixes#8945
Full technical CI 42263548929 passes, including all eight shards and required aggregates. The Author readiness-only exception is explicitly authorized; no human-review attestation is added.
