Build Log
Fixing a Stale Test Fixture
August 24, 2026
Two Alloy tests hardcoded a real gap (Alloy missing from PROJECT_INDEX.md) that was since closed — updated the fixture to match reality, not the other way around.

Timeline
Start
Received frozen Charge via Remote Trigger
No access to originating Strategist conversation — file was the only context
5m
Verified current failure state matched the Charge's claim
npm test showed the same 2 failures the Charge described
10m
Read buildOrientSnapshot's real gap/readiness logic
Confirmed foundInIndex/product_map_conflict/readiness derivation is deterministic, not guessed
15m
Fixed the two stale assertions, verified, committed
All 506 tests pass, typecheck clean relative to pre-existing baseline
What shipped
Updated products/alloy/lib/orient-snapshot.test.ts — 2 test names and assertions corrected to match the real, current state of PROJECT_INDEX.md (Alloy is now documented there)
“The tests' hardcoded expectations were never updated to match — this is a stale-fixture bug in the test, not a regression in buildOrientSnapshot() itself.”
