"""Every hook reports that it fired, and the reporting changes nothing else (ersatztv#776).
Two separable claims, and conflating them is how instrumentation ships as a regression:
1. COVERAGE — every hook script records its own execution. The population is DERIVED from the
tracked `.claude/hooks/*.sh`, never listed, per `testing.guard-derives-population-from-source`,
so a hook staged tomorrow is uninstrumented-and-red rather than silently unobserved. From
the git index rather than a filesystem walk since ersatztv#806 — an untracked file on one
machine is not part of the repo, and a guard whose population differs per checkout is one
nobody trusts.
2. TRANSPARENCY — the wrapper is invisible to the harness. It slurps stdin and replays it, and it
diverts stdout and replays it, which puts it directly in the path of the most load-bearing
guards in this repo. If it drops a byte of a `deny` payload or swallows an exit code, it
disables a guard while reporting that the guard fired. That is strictly worse than the
blindness #776 set out to fix, so the differential test below drives EVERY hook, with and
without the instrumentation, over a payload matrix and demands byte-equal stdout and equal
exit status.
The mutation proof for claim 1 is the contrapositive form allowed by
`testing.guard-ships-with-mutation-proof` for a checker-guard: the defect the guard exists to catch
(an uninstrumented hook) is introduced into an isolated copy of the guarded artifact, and the named
check must go red. See `test_a_hook_that_LOSES_its_instrumentation_is_DETECTED`.
Claim 2's proof is not a mutation of an assertion but a real A/B over the real scripts, which is the
only thing that can establish it — a unit test of the wrapper in isolation would pass on a wrapper
that is fine alone and lethal in context.

left the differential green for four hooks, two of which issue `deny`.
So each hook must have at least one case where the CONTROL side actually says something —
non-empty stdout, or a non-zero exit. The population is the hook glob, so a new hook arrives
here uncovered-and-red rather than quietly riding on a matrix that never reaches it.

directory is the production log EVERY live Claude Code session on the machine writes to, so the
oracle was global mutable state: an unrelated session firing a hook inside the window failed
this test with `a test run modified the production hook-fire log` — an accusation about the
suite when the writer was another process. Observed on three separate branches, green on an
immediate re-run each time, and corroborated by an independent reviewer who found a file in that
directory written 13 seconds earlier by someone else (ersatztv#822). The misattribution was the
expensive part: it points the next reader at the suite, and the honest diagnosis costs a re-run
plus a directory listing.
WHAT IT ASSERTS NOW. The same invariant, structurally, reading nothing under `$HOME`.
`_IMPORT_TIME_ENV` is the #785 defect's own shape — the environment as a module sees it at
COLLECTION, before any fixture has run — and a real hook driven with it must land its records in
the isolated directory that snapshot carries. That is the cross-suite claim: isolation has to be
in place before a module is IMPORTED, not merely before a test runs, and the same ordering is

perfectly correct while a call site passes something else.

Both arms are a real nested pytest over an identical sandbox with a FAKE `HOME`, so nothing here
touches the machine's own log. The specimen module is the #785 shape verbatim: `{**os.environ}`
at module level, handed to a hook subprocess.
ONE clause differs between the arms — `os.environ[ENV_VAR] = _SESSION_LOG_DIR` in
`pytest_configure`. Remove it and the specimen's records land in the fake production directory;
restore it and they do not. That is what makes the pre-collection assignment load-bearing rather
than decorative, and it is the red #809 asks to witness.
WHAT IT NO LONGER TRAVERSES, since the fake directory is handed over explicitly: the sink's
`${ETV_HOOK_FIRE_LOG_DIR:-${HOME:-/tmp}/…}` fallback. The mutant arm now leaks by INHERITANCE
rather than by fallback, so deleting that expansion outright leaves both arms unchanged —
measured. That is covered instead by
`test_the_resolver_agrees_with_the_SINKS_OWN_expansion`, which reddens on the same deletion.
The proof remains sensitive to the weakening that matters here: replacing the assignment with
`os.environ.setdefault(...)` makes the control arm leak.
THE MEASUREMENT ARRANGEMENT, stated because it is a deliberate weakening: the launch guard is
disabled in BOTH arms. Left on, it would reject the specimen's launch in the mutant arm and the
comparison would be about the guard rather than about the clause under test. Both arms are
otherwise byte-identical, so the difference measured is the clause's alone.
