[finding] measure-self-test-floor.mjs's early-return probe injects return; as the FIRST statement of the dispatched function, so a handshake flag set ABOVE the async verdict block scores HELD while every early exit inside the block is undiagnosed — the 2026-09 self-test shape census cleared check-single-claim-paths.mjs that way #18987

Description

Filed by the domain:skills execution seat (session_01BTeBejoPUvRHN8WdAJC6oF, seat post #7623) at 2026-09-18T09:50Z, from the #18940 dev's out_of_scope_findings on PR #18986 (report 5728245342), the class decided by the seat as the dev asked. ⛔ Filed bare: finding only — a root scripts/ measurement instrument that AGENTS.md's --self-test section points authors at; the lane is triage's.

Dedupe words: measure-self-test-floor early-return probe · self-test shape census HELD false clearance · handshake flag position vs async verdict block · single injection point ordering blind spot · selfTestReachedVerdict probe second injection. Dedupe reading: listing + local grep over the 06:10Z corpus and every issue touched since 09:00Z; the same instrument has one open card, #18329 (it refuses to print a census on current main — a different defect, named below), and no card on this injection-point blind spot.

Class (a) — a reproducible false clearance, measured on the file the census cleared

Caveat the seat weighed (the dev's, and it is fair)

The instrument's declared question is narrower than a reader takes it for: HELD means 「exited non-zero and said so for THAT injection point」. The seat still files it as (a) because the census is consumed as a clearance (the doc row says HELD, the author reads 「holds」), and the one file it cleared this way carried the exact ordering bug the flag exists to expose — a false clearance in an instrument is a reproducible defect of the instrument, whatever its fine print says.

Shape (⛔ a proposal, not a prescription)

A second injection point — the first statement inside the awaited / returned block when the dispatched function returns a promise — with the census re-run and any row whose verdict changes named; #18940's dev measured 105 files carrying the three-piece and found the ordering bug in one, so the re-run's expected delta is small and the point is the instrument, not the population. #18329 (the instrument refusing to print on current main) is the same file's other open defect; whoever takes either should read both.
