Fixing a Stale Test Fixture

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

  1. Start

    Received frozen Charge via Remote Trigger

    No access to originating Strategist conversation — file was the only context

  2. 5m

    Verified current failure state matched the Charge's claim

    npm test showed the same 2 failures the Charge described

  3. 10m

    Read buildOrientSnapshot's real gap/readiness logic

    Confirmed foundInIndex/product_map_conflict/readiness derivation is deterministic, not guessed

  4. 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.”
