feat(trust): stale-manifest failures print drifted files and exact regen command (D7)

[hyperpolymath]

Closes debt item D7 from docs/sitrep-2026-09-01.adoc.

What

scripts/trust/verify-manifest.sh previously ran sha256sum -c with output discarded, so a red must-gates run told you which component failed but not which file drifted or what to do about it. Failure output now:

• lists the drifted/missing entries (the FAILED lines, OK noise filtered),
• prints the exact remediation — ./scripts/trust/generate-manifest.sh <component>, or just trust-generate for everything,
• reminds the committer to include the regenerated .trust/trust-manifest.sha256 in the same PR (the failure mode that painted main red historically),
• gives the missing-manifest branch the same hint.

This satisfies D7's done-condition: the CI step (must-gates runs this script) now "detects a stale manifest and prints the exact just trust-generate invocation in its failure message."

Verification

Both failure paths were induced live, not assumed:

• stale: appended to vexometer-efficacy/README.adoc → output named README.adoc: FAILED + the per-component command;
• missing: removed satellite-template/.trust/trust-manifest.sha256 → same hint with the right component;
• restored both; clean tree verifies all 7 components, exit 0. shellcheck clean.

No manifest-tracked files touched, so no regen needed in this PR.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Verification failures now clearly identify missing or changed files.
  • Added guidance for regenerating manifests when one is missing or out of date.
  • Verification output now includes relevant error details and reminds contributors to commit regenerated manifests.

Walkthrough

The manifest verification script now prints regeneration guidance when a manifest is missing. Checksum failures now show only drifted or missing entries, with instructions to regenerate and commit the manifest.

Changes

Manifest verification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Manifest failure diagnostics scripts/trust/verify-manifest.sh	The missing-manifest path prints component and all-component regeneration commands. The verification path captures checksum output, reports non-OK entries, and reminds contributors to commit the regenerated manifest.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 683bb

The PR improves stale-manifest failures, but the output may include extra checksum summary diagnostics alongside the drifted files. This is a bounded, non-blocking follow-up for the owner.

Poem

A rabbit checks each hash in line
Missing leaves get steps to find
Drifted paths hop into view
Regenerate what is due
Commit the manifest, neat and true

⚠️ Action not completed

Review rate limited.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

Addressed in bc48b5a: diagnostics filtered to drop OK-noise and the redundant sha256sum WARNING line while keeping FAILED entries and corrupt-manifest errors; all three failure shapes (stale/missing/corrupt) induced and verified. CodeRabbit re-review (21:53Z) posted no further actionable comments.
