Quickstart — verifying Silent-Write Hardening Residuals

How to confirm each finding is fixed. All commands from the repo root; PWHEADLESS=1 where a test touches UI-adjacent fixtures (none here, but the convention is harmless).

Finding A — repair preserves an unregistered authoritative row

Red-first (proves the test witnesses the bug), then green:

# 1. Extend the guard/repair tests with an authoritative-shaped row whose event_type
#    is deliberately NOT in AUTHORITATIVE_NON_LANE_EVENT_TYPES.
# 2. Confirm red against the pre-inversion repair, then green after:
uv run pytest tests/migration/test_mission_state_repair.py \
             tests/status/test_authoritative_non_lane_registry_4897.py \
             tests/integration/migration/test_lifecycle_events_preserved.py \
             tests/unit/migration/test_canonicalization_rules.py \
             tests/status/test_read_events_tolerates_decision_events.py -q

Expected after fix: the unregistered authoritative row survives --fix (AC-A1); a would-be quarantine of any event_type-bearing row surfaces a non-zero/error (AC-A2); legacy WPStatusChanged still canonicalizes into status.json (AC-A3, #3066); duplicate-event_id dedupe does not hard-error (AC-A4).

Finding B — one `catalog.mission` reader

# Parity + single-accessor tests:
uv run pytest tests/specify_cli/cli/commands/charter/test_recompile_preserves_mission_4908.py \
             tests/specify_cli/charter_runtime/test_references_parity_refresh.py -q

# SSOT proof — exactly one reader of catalog.mission remains:
grep -rnE "catalog.*\bmission\b|\[.?mission.?\]" src/specify_cli/charter_runtime src/specify_cli/cli/commands/charter src/charter/activation \
  | grep -iE "catalog" | grep -v "read_catalog_field\|read_catalog_mission"
# → expect: no direct catalog.mission reads outside the shared accessor

Finding C — traces merge survives unusual markdown

uv run pytest tests/merge/test_traces_driver_section_union_4894.py -q

Expected after fix: a ~~~-fenced heading-like line is not a boundary (AC-C1); duplicate-heading sections key distinctly and neither is dropped (AC-C2); a diverged single-heading section still stale-drops (AC-C3); whole-block dedup unchanged (AC-C4).
