Round 3, and it found that round 2's fix was a REGRESSION on the case that matters most. `raw=$(jq --version 2>&1 || true)` did two wrong things at once: folded stderr into the parse input and discarded the exit status. Combined with a pattern that matched the first <digits>.<digits> ANYWHERE, a jq broken by a glibc mismatch — which exits 127 and writes "version `GLIBC_2.34' not found" to stderr — parsed as version 2.34 and PASSED the floor. The strip-based parse this replaced failed CLOSED there. So the fix for a fail-open bug introduced a worse fail-open bug, in the one script whose entire purpose is to refuse to certify a version it did not parse. Same mechanism, second symptom: an unanchored match let a prefix outrank the real version. `2026.07.26 jq-1.6` parsed as 2026.07; a leading warning line carrying any number won too. Now: jq's exit status is captured explicitly (`$?` inside `if ! cmd` is the NEGATED status, so that needed care too), stderr is kept out of the parse, and the pattern is anchored to the leading `jq` token. Every legitimate form still parses — `jq-1.6`, `jq version 1.6`, `jq-1.7.1`, `jq-1.6-dirty`, `jq-1.6 (Debian 1.6-2.1)`, `jq-1.10` (numeric compare, so the two-digit minor is not read lexically). The tests could not have caught any of this: the shim always exited 0 and never wrote to stderr, so every case it could express was clean. It now takes stderr and an exit code, and the four new cases turn red under the exact mutation. Also: the drift guard now strips comment lines before matching. A future comment citing `pulls/$pr/files?limit=100` as an example of what not to do would otherwise have reddened script-tests — which, per this branch's own correction, blocks merges. And the record no longer over-corrects: the combined-status read is guarded by `if [ "$mwcs" != "true" ]`, so a red script-tests blocks the hook-mediated merge path, not literally every merge. Decisions-Edit: yes
