What

Removes test/unit/port/oracle/mutation-e2e.test.ts — the end-to-end mutation pipeline suite that patches built dist/server/**, boots mutated servers, asserts the oracle goes red, and rebuilds dist from pristine source.

Why

Per user direction: the suite is time-consuming (it rebuilds dist mid-run, in the unit suite) and its safety-net value doesn't justify the maintenance cost. It has additionally been red since the buildinfo relocation in 1de2258d8 broke its pristine-rebuild step — it hasn't caught anything in a while, it has just been failing.

The lighter data-level mutation-validation.test.ts this suite was built on top of is kept — it checks mutation detection without booting servers or rebuilding dist.

No other references to mutation-e2e exist in configs, CI, or scripts (verified by grep).

Verification

  • npm run test:oracle — 5 passed / 3 skipped files, all 109+ tests green, on the branch (the one mid-run failure under parallel machine load, t1-batch-equivalence-rust, was rerun green on a quiet machine).
  • Base-gate context: origin/main's two red gates during this session were shared-machine timing flakes (amplifier-session-locator jitter test; passes 19/19 rerun solo, also seedable for the existing ep0f deflake kata).

Closes kata 140h.

The end-to-end mutation pipeline suite (patch built dist/server → boot
mutated servers → prove the oracle goes red → rebuild pristine) is removed
per user direction: it is time-consuming (rebuilds dist inside the test
suite) and its safety-net value does not justify the maintenance cost. Its
pristine-rebuild step has been broken anyway (red) since the buildinfo
relocation in 1de2258, so it was no longer catching anything — just
failing.

The lighter data-level mutation-validation suite stays: it checks mutation
detection at the data layer without booting servers or rebuilding dist.

Closes kata 140h.
