Mechanical conversion driven by the frozen denominator artifact
(validate-973/convert-973.py, committed for auditability): every row is
byte-verified against the worktree BEFORE any edit — a conversion applied to
a line the denominator did not measure would be the umbrella defect wearing
the converter's clothes — then 233 sites become has_match and 28 grep -c
sites become count_lines, and each suite gains three header lines (source
_wake-common.sh + wake_assert_init) directly after its SCRIPT_DIR line, a
uniform +3 shift for every site coordinate.
Env prefixes are kept (LC_ALL=C has_match — the prefix reaches the grep
child, microtest C8). The two multi-grep pipeline sites
(digest-quarantine:560, install:420) convert BOTH greps: each element is
measurement-bearing, and under pipefail an rc=2 on the left is masked by an
rc=1 on the right — the same defect one pipe deeper. Call-site 2>/dev/null
redirects (the preimage canaries) are kept: ordinary grep noise stays
suppressed, while an abort writes to the wake_assert_init-saved real stderr.
Diff arithmetic: +291/-261 = 261 one-for-one line replacements + 30 header
lines (10 suites x 3). Nothing in this commit is not the conversion.
All ten suites run green after conversion. Per the review pre-registration
(A9) that green is NON-EVIDENCE for this change: a suite that was green
before conversion and green after witnesses nothing about whether the sites
were converted — the counted-ledger equality in the validation harness is
the evidence.
