timothy 18b2a46beb feat(780): commit a ruff config and enforce it in CI
Python lint here was a property of the operator's laptop, not of the repo: the
global instructions say to run `ruff check`/`ruff format --check`/`pyright`, no
workflow or hook ran any of them, and with no committed config ruff fell back to
whichever `~/.config/ruff/ruff.toml` the machine happened to have. A second
machine lints this repo differently, or not at all — Family E in
docs/defect-shapes-773.md, in our own toolchain.

Option 1 from the issue:

- `ruff.toml` at the root (the operator's global settings, pinned here — that is
  what the tree was de-facto written against, so adopting it cost a mechanical
  reformat rather than a rewrite).
- The `script-tests` job installs a PINNED `ruff==0.12.11` and runs
  `ruff check .` + `ruff format --check .` before pytest, so a style red arrives
  in seconds instead of after the four-minute suite. The pin is the second half
  of the fix: an unpinned install re-introduces the same divergence one layer up.
  Renamed the job to `Script lint and tests (ruff + pytest)` so a lint red is not
  triaged under a name that says pytest.
- Tree made clean: 72 errors and 20 files needing reformatting. Everything fixed
  except two config-level exemptions with reasons in the config (`S101`, `S105`
  under `scripts/tests/**` — the stub credentials that fire `S105` have no true
  positive anywhere in the tree) and two per-site `# noqa`s that carry their
  reason inline.

`pyright` stays ungated: its only findings are `reportMissingImports` for
`etv_client` in scripts/scripted-schedules/entrypoint.py, resolvable only in that
script's deploy environment, and gating it would put a node toolchain on the
git-only `small` lane to find nothing.

Population is what `ruff check .` discovers from the root, so a new `.py`
anywhere is covered without the job enumerating anything.

Docs: new record `ci.python-lint-ruff-config-committed`, cross-ref from
`ci.script-tests-job`, `docs/ci-cd.md` script-tests section, and
`docs/defect-shapes-773.md` §5.2 marked resolved with the measured numbers.

"""docs/guard-inventory.md covers exactly the guards that exist (ersatztv#774, #775).
THIS FILE IS THE ANSWER TO BOTH ISSUES' "is a mechanical check possible?" QUESTION, and the shape of
the answer matters more than the code.
What is NOT possible, and must not be attempted: a lint that flags filter-shaped guards by matching
`.filter(` / `.Where(` / `grep` inside guard code. #774 asks for this explicitly and the honest
answer is no. The token is not the defect — `ToolCatalogTests.Every_Query_Parameter_Should_Be_A_
Declared_Property` filters correctly eight lines from a completeness assertion that must not. A
matcher would flag both, and a matcher that is wrong half the time is waved through until it is
never read, which is the symptom-keyed-guard mistake this repo has now paid for at #644 and #650.
Worse, it is a string predicate over source, and this repo's own record is that a string predicate
takes three or more rounds to get right (#629, #633, #698). Building it would be #774 violating
#774.
What IS possible, and is what this file does: you cannot mechanically detect that a guard reasons
about a sample, but you CAN mechanically guarantee that every guard has been *classified by someone*
and that its claimed proof exists. That converts both rules from "remember to do this" into "the
suite goes red until you have". Specifically:
* the guard population is DERIVED — globbed from `.claude/hooks/` and `.husky/`, plus every
`scripts/*.sh|py` referenced by a workflow or a hook — and compared for SET EQUALITY against the
inventory's rows, in both directions;
* every row's `Proof ref` is resolved to a real file and a real `def` in it;
* every row's `Kind` and `Proof` come from a closed vocabulary, so a typo cannot invent a state.
The residue this leaves, named rather than papered over: nothing here checks that a row's
`MUTATION` claim is TRUE. A test named in the table might merely exercise the guard. That judgement
stays with review, and the table is the thing review reads.
