Measured 2026-09-02: the session's first `install:local` died inside `cargo build --release` on ENOSPC with 0MB free, over a `target/debug` a previous session had left at ~24GB. The failure named neither the disk nor the floor, and the recovery an agent reaches for from there is `rm -rf target/…` by hand — the journal-poisoning route CLOUD-1218 measured three times. `target-prune` exists for exactly that input; its own header says it runs when the disk is SHORT. `verify` calls it and every `land` lap calls it. The one build that runs before any of them did not, so every build the repository owns sat behind the precondition except the first. A `depends` rather than a guarded body call, and §5 is the reason: the refusal a reader should see is the prune's own pointer-only line naming free space and the floor. A body guard prints a second message over the first, which is a second authority for a verdict already rendered. `install:local` resolves it transitively and so gains the precondition without naming it. Three properties checked rather than assumed, each written where the next reader will be. `target-prune` declares no `depends` and tries the installed binary before `cargo run`, so the edge cannot cycle. This task is reached by `install:local` and the two benches while `verify` and `land` reach the engine through `cargo run -p batten`, so the prune pair bracketing a lap keeps its order. And `prune::Phase` is derived from the lap journal rather than declared, so a build outside a `verify` toggles a boundary — which cannot move the floor, a high-water mark, but can emit one `lap-close` describing no real lap. Shown able to fail by hand, because no sweep can carry it: `mutate::sources_for` resolves a gate to a shell task, a rego module, an engine module or a preset directory, and this subject is `mise.toml`, which is none of them. A `//MUTANT` row would read as coverage and apply nothing. With the `depends` line deleted and nothing else changed, both new cases went red and the anti-vacuity mirror stayed green; restoring it returned the suite to green. The demonstration is recorded on the case. Refs: CLOUD-1329

Assert dependency entries separately from task bodies. task_surface concatenates the run and depends values, so these checks do not prove that target-prune is in build:release's depends field or that build:release is in install:local's depends field. Comments and documentation are excluded, but a run value containing target-prune or build:release can still satisfy the assertions. For example, removing the dependency and changing the build body to echo target-prune && cargo build ... would leave the first test green without running the precondition. Extract the dependency value separately and assert the exact dependency entry for each task.

Make the release-build precondition build-free. install:local reaches build:release, whose target-prune dependency runs before the release build. When batten is unavailable or its invocation fails, target-prune falls back to cargo run --quiet -p batten -- target prune -y. Cargo can compile and write to target/ before the prune command validates or reclaims disk space. On a low-disk fresh checkout, that compilation can fail with ENOSPC, so the prune never runs and install:local remains blocked. Fix the build:release/target-prune task path to provide a no-build disk precondition; changing only test expectations does not correct this entrypoint.

Verified, and not changing it here — the residual gap is real, but the prescribed fix reverses a landed decision this row may not touch.
The task already argues this, at mise.toml:1601-1609:
the install is still tried first and still needs no build, so the disk-short case this task exists for reaches the reclaim exactly as before. Only a first attempt that already failed pays for a build, and where that failure really was the disk the build fails too — the same refusal today gives, with the build's own cause rather than a borrowed one.
So the fallback is deliberate, and it exists for a reason the comment above it gives: a released binary cannot know a config key the branch just added, and three laps were killed that way in one session. Removing the cargo run arm would reintroduce that.
Why the entry point is still fixed for the case this row measured. deps-install puts the released binary on PATH at provisioning, before Claude launches — so in the measured incident, and in every session that reaches install:local normally, command -v batten succeeds, the first arm runs, and no build happens before the disk is checked. The precondition is build-free on the path that had the defect.
The case you name is the one where batten is absent and the disk is short. There the fallback compiles and can ENOSPC before the prune speaks. That is a genuine residual, and it is worth saying plainly that it is not fixed by this change. Two reasons it is not fixed here:
- CLOUD-1329's §1 scopes the authority: "
target-pruneitself,[prune]'s floors and the escalation's reach are untouched." Editing the fallback is exactly that file's decision, not this row's. - The fix you propose — a no-build reclaim path — is a design change to the reclaim, which is the subject of CLOUD-1240 and CLOUD-1293 (reach) and CLOUD-1030 (the escalation's cold-build guarantee). It belongs on one of those or on a new row, with the measurement to justify it.
On the narrower claim that "changing only test expectations does not correct this entrypoint": the change is not test-only. build:release gains depends = ["target-prune"], which is the ordering defect — the first build ran with no disk precondition at all, where every other build in the repository had one.
Your second finding is correct and I am pushing a fix for it.
