+/// the model acts, in plan mode too, and runs a goal that opens with /word as a command: an unknown word ends the
+/// run as a success with no turn. A goal carries text from pull requests, repositories and other models, so the harness
+/// hands it over as the first block of one stream-json message (ClaudeCodeHarness.PromptMessage), because the CLI
+/// parses mentions and commands out of the last block only. That is undocumented CLI behaviour, so it is pinned here.
+///
+/// Fidelity: 🟢 HIGH for everything but the model. The pinned CLI binary, the production harness argv and stdin
+/// (), the production durable launch (,
+/// bubblewrap where the host confines) and the production model-credential broker all run for real. The fake is the
+/// model behind the broker (), which never calls a tool: whatever a planted secret
+/// contributes to a request or the transcript was put there by the CLI itself, before any model decision.
+///
+/// Every arm runs its prompt on both channels: on the production one, and as a POSITIVE CONTROL on the old text
+/// channel — the same production spec with --input-format removed and the bare goal on stdin — which must read the
+/// planted secrets, or drop the slash-word goal. Without the control a fixture the CLI could not have read would pass
