Mission Run:

Contracts

This is a test-suite hygiene + security-hardening mission; it ships no new API/wire contracts.

The mission's "contracts" are the standing test guards it consolidates and the validator it hardens:

src/specify_cli/mission.py::validate_deliverables_path — hardened to reject every malicious-path class (FR-001). Function-only; runtime wiring deferred to #2539/#2536.
tests/runtime/test_bridge_compat_surface.py — the runtime-bridge family compat-surface guard (coverage authority for WP02's retirements).
tests/merge/test_merge_compat_surface.py (new, WP04) — merge-family {symbol→residual} compat guard (54 symbols).
tests/specify_cli/cli/commands/agent/test_tasks_compat_surface.py (new, WP05) — tasks-family compat guard (129 symbols, all 6 seams).

No contracts/*.md API specs apply.
