Reverts the bidirectional half of the smoke parity pin added earlier today,
and records why at the assertion site so it is not "completed" again.
I read the suite list's comment ("so the local-first pre-push gate equals the
CI gate") as promising equality, made the assertion symmetric, and reported
tests/test_pack_draft_serve_boundary.py as drift because it sits in the local
gate and not in .github/workflows/smoke.yml.
That was wrong, and AGENTS.md says so in a line I had already read: GitHub
Actions are billing-locked and produce dead signals, never chase them. The
Forgejo host (e2-micro) cannot run workflows either. CI here is run MANUALLY
in-worktree — usually faster anyway on UMA hardware with real RAM — which is
what scripts/ci/local-ci.sh now front-ends. smoke.yml is secondary
observability, not a gate.
So the local suite is the SOURCE and is free to be broader. Asserting the
reverse converts a file nobody executes into a maintenance obligation, and one
agents cannot discharge at that — pushing workflow changes needs an OAuth scope
the push credential lacks. The three "owed" lines were never owed.
The surviving direction (CI subset-of local) still protects something real: if
smoke.yml ever names a path the local gate lacks, the local gate is narrower
than a published claim about it.
Arc-close brief updated to match: the "three files owed to smoke.yml" open item
is replaced by a recorded non-finding, so the next reader does not re-derive it.
Its shipped-work table now lists what actually landed in its place — the local
CI runner, the lane-roster fix, and the proposal-sink test-isolation fix.
[Verification]: 21 passed across test_cli_test_suites, test_lane_sha_verifier,
test_adr_index; ruff clean on the changed test.
NON-CANONICAL: Python 3.12.11, not the pinned 3.12.13 (unavailable for
linux-x86_64). Hash-pinned tests reproduce committed values regardless.

CORE Documentation Index
This is the central index for all documentation in the CORE project.
Canonical Root Documents
- Whitepaper.md - The CORE architectural and philosophical whitepaper.
- Yellowpaper.md - Technical specifications and mathematical formulation of the CORE engine.
- PROGRESS.md - High-level project progress tracking.
- specs/runtime_contracts.md - Critical invariants and bounds for the runtime execution flow.
Directories
Architecture & Design
- adr/ - Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). The canonical history of all ratified engineering choices.
- architecture/ - High-level architectural documents (e.g., pipelines, schemas).
- analysis/ - Deep dives and master plans for structural changes.
- specs/ - Detailed technical specifications and invariants.
Planning & Progress
- plans/ - Capability roadmaps and implementation plans.
- briefs/ - Project briefs and scoping documents for upcoming work.
- issues/ - Detailed issue analyses and technical reproductions (not standard trackers).
- audit/ - Audit reports and claims ledgers.
