Problem (#934)
The wake allocator's seq-integrity fault-injection tests build their injection on
unshare --mount --user --map-root-user+ a bind-mount to forceEBUSYon a target write:observed_seqcursor must NOT advance before the durable/pending write succeeds.observed_seq_atomic_writefail-loud +observed.setrollback (both-advance-or-neither).The real Woodpecker runner is NON-privileged and DENIES mount-in-userns (
unshare: ... Operation not permitted), so both injections SKIPPED in CI. The allocator's most safety-critical invariants were therefore NOT exercised by the pipeline that gates merges — the skipped-trust-layer condition the class #912 cured for the digest suite.Fix
Replace the mount-based mechanism with a MOUNT-FREE, PRIVILEGE-INVARIANT fault seam that RUNS UNPRIVILEGED, so T9 and T11 actually EXECUTE and ASSERT their failure paths in the real non-privileged runner.
The seam (
_wake-common.sh,_atomic_write)Prod-inertness (hard requirement):
WAKE_TEST_FAULT, marked with a one-line test-only comment.pending->pending.jsonl,cursor->observed_seq). With it unset the[ -n ... ]guard short-circuits and the write proceeds exactly as before.WAKE_TEST_FAULT(grep = 0).T9/T11 conversion
The
unshare --mount+ bind-mount injection AND its skip-when-unavailable guard/witness-marker are REMOVED. Each test now scopes the seam to a single enqueue via a command-prefix env assignment (WAKE_TEST_FAULT=pending/=cursor). The assertion sets are unchanged — they now RUN in every environment including non-priv CI.Acceptance — proof the injection RUNS (not skips)
Reproduced the real CI env:

Assertion text is byte-identical to pre-#934: T11's four assertions (fail-loud rc≠0; diagnostic
grep -qi cursor; cursor did-not-advance;observed.setstranded-seq/rollback consistency; consumed-prefix intact) are unchanged — only theif [ "$injected" -eq 1 ]skip-wrapper was removed, so they now run UNCONDITIONALLY. T9's arrow-1 assertions unchanged.Not tautological — red-first mutation. Neutering the seam (replace
return 1with a no-op so the injection does NOT fire) makes T9 and T11 both go RED —wake store/ack harness: FAILED (8 assertion(s)):must EXIT NON-ZERO,must NOT advance observed_seq got '2',diagnostic must name the observed_seq cursor [],CROSS-FILE INCONSISTENT, … The green result genuinely depends onstore.shhonoring the fail-loud + no-burn + observed.set-rollback invariants; the seam only simulates the I/O fault, it does not dictate the allocator's response.4. #908 allocator + #917 cursor-gate + on-disk format preserved — PASS

65692ccd49.Basis: verbatim RoR (comment 19333) — independent review APPROVE, all 6 criteria, with the two load-bearing properties proven adversarially: SEAM PROD-INERTNESS (repo-wide grep shows no production path can set WAKE_TEST_FAULT; unset-var write byte-identical; target-scoping exact; store.sh untouched) and NON-TAUTOLOGY (neutering the seam sends T9+T11 RED across 8 assertions — the greens depend on the store's real fail-loud/no-burn/rollback behavior, not the seam). The acceptance met in its strongest form: both seq-integrity injections FIRE and ASSERT in the real non-privileged runner, 0 SKIP lines in the merge-gating pipeline's own log — the skipped-trust-layer condition cured for the store suite as #912 cured it for the digest suite. Closes #934 — and with it the COMPLETE A-lane residual set (8/8): the wake canon, its pilot tail, the pre-vector set, and every residual are landed. Part of #892.
