One conflict, in CHANGELOG.md's `## Unreleased` block, exactly as expected from two branches landing beside each other: both `_this branch_` table rows and both sections are kept, FCST-06's first. Nothing else conflicted - FCST-06's `test_price_history.py` section 5d and this branch's columnar `feed_body()` merged cleanly - and all 29 test files are green on the result.

@@ -142,6 +142,28 @@ red on 15 named checks. Same shape as TEST-16 and the same fix: **grade the
|
||||
reason, not the verdict**, and when two rungs answer one stimulus, mutate them
|
||||
together.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **AND FCST-06 FOUND THE COUNT ITSELF LYING — LOW, NOT SILENT.** A mutation
|
||||
whose red is a **traceback** does not report one red; it reports however many
|
||||
checks ran before the traceback, and grades **none** of the ones after it. The
|
||||
new section drove M4 (`self._days = before` → `self._days = {}`) and the run
|
||||
printed **1 FAIL**. The true figure is **3**: an f-string in the next check read
|
||||
`len(read.points)`, and `.points` on a `no_data` **raises `Absence` by design**,
|
||||
so the harness died mid-section with the remaining checks ungraded. That is
|
||||
`why()`'s and `derived()`'s rule — *"it answered nothing" and "it broke on the
|
||||
way to answering" must not grade the same* — arriving in the **printed operand**
|
||||
of a check rather than in its condition, which is the half that is easy to miss
|
||||
because it looks like formatting. Two things follow:
|
||||
|
||||
* **a mutation report's red COUNT is only a lower bound until the run is seen to
|
||||
have reached the end of its section.** Read the output, not the count;
|
||||
* **the total accessor has to cover what a check PRINTS, not only what it
|
||||
asserts.** `test_price_history.py` 5d added `npts()` beside `why()` for
|
||||
exactly this, and re-driving M4 against it moved 1 FAIL to 3.
|
||||
|
||||
Worse, had the traceback landed one check earlier the mutation would have
|
||||
produced **no named red at all** — a result that reads like a broken harness and
|
||||
gets retried rather than read.
|
||||
|
||||
## The third way a check lies: its DATA cannot reach the failure it names

Stale bytecode manufactures survivors from a mutation that never ran. Masking
