tegwick 1b9860a8ee T10: gate review and first compression pass 
All four gate criteria met. False Adaptation Rate 0/7 with 12 of 13 mechanical
mutations absorbed. 178 tests pass. TD-WP-0002 finished.

Fitness loop closed via F-0003: actor isolation was a property of scenarios
written to expose it, not of runs. Actors now carry an automatic private
marker and the runner examines all of them on every scenario, with two
permanent regressions behind it.

Compression - six abstractions removed, each declared and never used:
Verdict.SUSPICIOUS (a verdict no oracle could emit), Step.expect_refusal,
ActorIsolationError, World.seed, EvidencePack.latest, Trajectory.method.

F-0008: Temperature may be redundant. Crystallization was built without it
ever being consulted; measured stability of realization did the work, and is
observed rather than declared. Gated for removal alongside energy.py.

INTENT_CHANGED and REALIZATION_FAILED had never run. Both now have
purpose-built cases and a test that fails if a seventh outcome is added
without one.

test-driver

Agentic framework for integration, end-to-end, multi-user interaction and security testing, driven by use cases.

Tests mature alongside the software they protect: fluid and agentic while behaviour is changing, deterministic once it settles. See INTENT.md for the thesis and SCOPE.md for boundaries.

Status: research prototype. The deterministic kernel runs; agentic realization, adaptation classification and crystallization are not built yet. Current work: workplans/TD-WP-0002-vertical-spike-crystallization.md.

Run

python3 -m pytest -q          # the whole suite
python3 -m pytest -q tests/test_reference_scenario.py

No third-party dependencies. Python ≥ 3.11, pytest for the suite.
