veronica f0d2dd9920 docs(W4): stamp kind and status front matter on 104 live documents
Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.

Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:

  127 live docs   = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
  104 stamped     here
   19 held        operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
    3 held        the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
    1 untouched   docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1

Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.

Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:

1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
   (title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
   It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
   current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
   The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
   `status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
   legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
   outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
   convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.

2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
   (docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
   contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
   That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
   itself. Raised in the worklist.

A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.

Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.

# #1099 — pipefail + early-exit sweep
## Scope and decisions
- Baseline `df4c591ab42aa1ae62c12935fdc0e772684864a0`, after #1100 removed its 35 sites.
- Split into review-sized non-closing tranches: runtime/general; tmux/git/quality tests; wake validation/tests.
- Do not equate class membership with demonstrated risk. Do not use payload size or pipeline stage count as a safety proxy.
- Preserve the issue's withdrawn findings for `qa-hook-stdin.sh` and the two fresh-directory `pnpm pack` lookups. Fix `install.sh:312` because malformed multi-root input must reach its named handler.
## Tranche 1 TDD
RED-first control: `node --test scripts/pipefail-early-exit.test.mjs` reported exactly 26 non-accepted runtime/general sites, including `install.sh:312`, and exited 1. A checked-in fixture generated from immutable baseline `df4c591a` records all 26 normalized sites; the control passes every fixture entry through the same scanner, asserts exact identity/count/uniqueness, and separately requires zero findings in the current tree. It also inventories accepted sites rather than silently excluding whole files.
Construction choices:
- here-string/file redirection for scalar grep assertions;
- full capture then parameter expansion for first-line selection;
- arrays/`mapfile` for complete populations;
- direct jq/awk/grep selection where one tool can express the property;
- no `|| true` added to a load-bearing assertion.
Site-by-site verdicts: `docs/reports/quality/1099-pipefail-sweep.md`.
## Tranche 2 TDD
Expanded the unconditional scanner over 11 non-wake test harnesses. RED named exactly 22 source lines; a second immutable-baseline fixture now asserts those 22 entries through the same scanner. Rewrites preserve command status by capturing producers before redirected assertions, use parameter expansion for line selection, and use complete `mapfile` populations where ordering matters. Current-tree finding count is zero for tranches 1 and 2.
## Tranche 3 TDD
Expanded the shared scanner over four wake validation harnesses. RED named 26 occurrences. The wake fixture asserts 26 occurrences / 25 normalized identities through the same scanner; all scalar assertions now use redirection, direct jq selection, complete capture, or consuming diagnostic ranges. Current-tree finding count is zero across the full scoped population.
## Verification so far
- `bash -n` on every changed shell script: pass.
- structural Node control: pass.
- `test-mutate-push-guard.sh`: 8/8 pass.
- `test-send-message-verdict.sh`: 3/3 pass.
- `test-send-message-socket.sh`: pass.
- Independent review 143 found two semantic regressions: a help-probe `|| true` changed the failure truth table, and an unguarded Git capture changed non-Git data-dir behavior from rc 0 + JSON to silent rc 128. Both received RED-first regressions before correction; help status is now separate and required, and Git status remains condition-guarded.
- Wake static inventory remains aligned at 261/261 after line-neutral rewrites; no static-set mismatch. Wake detector/reconcile/digest/preimage suites terminate at their existing fail-closed #973 `BASH_LINENO` environment probe (exit 97, observed `[3 5]`, expected `[3 4]`) before subject tests. No bypass or skip was used; canonical CI remains required.
- ShellCheck reports only pre-existing source-following, unused-variable, and untouched `ls | head` findings; no new diagnostic was introduced.
