The compatibility oracle that consumed these baselines was removed: its driver
script scripts/check-go-cli-compatibility.sh (926 lines) was deleted in
482307762. Re-verified reachability repo-wide (scripts/, .github/workflows/,
Makefiles, Go tree): nothing references compatibility-baseline/{profiles,v2}.
The live archcheck loaders (internal/archcheck/family.go, inventory.go) read
only families/<f>/{ownership,lineage}.json, which is left intact. v3/ is also
left intact.
Also delete tests/go_cli_clean_architecture.bats: it is dead (CI runs only
tests/scripts/*.bats plus named files; this top-level bats file is invoked by
no runner, no scenario linkage references its @test names) and three of its
@test blocks (S5, S2) call the already-deleted check-go-cli-compatibility.sh.
Removed bats @test blocks: S5, S1 (x2), S4 (x2), S2, S3, S6.
Completes the Go CLI migration: one composition model, no tombstones, no
dead packages, hermetic tests, and a cross-language verdict contract
corpus. Net −88k lines.
## What
- **Tombstones + prune deleted**: the 21 registered 'Removed in the
Cathedral Cut' stubs, `zzz_default_spine.go`'s runtime prune, and the
~30 registered-but-pruned legacy command families are gone. The
registered tree IS the production tree; retired verbs fail with exit 1 +
a data-driven replacement hint pointing at docs/MIGRATION.md (now
covering nested verbs). Non-runnable parents reject unknown subcommands
instead of printing help with exit 0.
- **~35 unreachable packages deleted** (cliapp, canon, pawl-era verdict
parser, pool, harvest, knowledge, wiki engine, vibecheck, cli/embedded,
…) after import analysis + script/CI consumer verification. Retained
with named consumers: archcheck (arch gate scripts), eval island (rubric
schema drift guards), drwitness/drrebuild (witness-crosscheck).
- **Composition decision recorded**: single cmd/ao root +
internal/commands/<family> modules + clicontract; the never-adopted
cliapp.BuildRoot is removed. New overview: docs/architecture/go-cli.md
(repairs two broken links).
- **Hermetic tests**: flag_matrix_test.go builds the exec'd binary from
package source — the stale cli/bin/ao failure class is closed;
TestHermeticBinaryMatchesSourceSurface pins source↔binary
correspondence.
- **Verdict contract consolidated**: verification extracted from
status.go into cli/internal/verdictcheck; 19-case golden corpus
(tests/fixtures/verdict-contract) runs through Go + Python + JSON schema
via blocking gate `contract.verdict-corpus`. One divergence closed
(empty-string context ids now rejected by all three).
- **Fossil guard chains retired**: embedded-sync (mirror had zero
importers), retired-family compat baselines, dead
go_cli_compatibility.bats, stale gate globs/grandfather entries.
## Evidence
- Full-tier deterministic gate: **66/66 PASS** on the rebased tip (fresh
source-built binary)
- cli suite 2,795 tests green; race suite green on touched packages; vet
+ pinned golangci-lint clean
- Cathedral Cut conformance PASS; CLI reference/surface projections
regenerated and checked
- Independent cross-family validation (fresh Codex context, frozen SHA):
5/6 claims CONFIRMED; 6th NOT_PROVEN only due to sandbox networking (its
cached rerun of the same suite passed)
- Test-count decrease is deliberate and carried by a Test-Removal-Reason
