name: Conformance Differential

# Layer 3 of the Maestro conformance oracle: run a small set of flows through
# BOTH real Maestro and agent-device on a live device and compare app-observable
# outcomes, plus assert engine-side timing invariants over agent-device's own
# replay trace. This is the only layer that can catch settle-loop ordering, which
# has no reflectable upstream constant.
#
# Scheduled: this path is proven end-to-end (run 29504440599 executed both
# engines against the real fixture app). Scenarios that currently diverge are
# DECLARED via `knownDivergence` in differential/scenarios.ts with a tracking
# issue, so the schedule stays green on known gaps and fails only on undeclared
# ones — the same contract layer 1 has. A declaration that stops reproducing also
# fails, so a fix cannot land while leaving the oracle blind.
