A contract verdict is only meaningful if it came from the merged copy. The fleet has been bitten three times on 2026-09-25 (a clone parked on a merged feature branch while executing from another clone; a script copied into the runner clone by hand; a stale local origin/master making an ancestry check report unlanded work). The control for this existed as an untracked draft and protected nobody, because it was entirely fail-open. Defect in the draft, preserved verbatim as tests/fixtures/revision-preflight.prefix.sh: git -C "$CLONE" show "origin/master:$(basename "$SCRIPT")" basename drops the scripts/ prefix, so for any script under scripts/ it queried the repo root, failed, took the "warn but don't block" branch and exited 0 - passing a script that exists in no revision at all. Reproduced: pre-fix + scripts/demo.sh under scripts/ -> 'could not resolve', EXIT=0 pre-fix + a script in no revision -> EXIT=0 Fixed guard (scripts/revision-preflight.sh): * resolves the repo-relative path inside the clone, so scripts/ paths resolve; * FAILS CLOSED - a path absent from the ref, an unresolvable ref, or a failed fetch is a failure, never a warning; * fetches the remote by default, because a stale local ref would otherwise pass a stale script as current; --no-fetch states the assumption instead of hiding it. Wiring (scripts/contract-run.sh): before executing, the wrapper runs the guard against the clone it lives in. Default CONTRACT_REVISION_PREFLIGHT=enforce withholds the verdict, alerts and exits 2 on mismatch; =warn logs and continues; =off skips. Verified live: match -> contract proceeds and PASSes; mismatch -> 'VERDICT WITHHELD', exit 2; =warn -> continues. Pinning (docs/contract-execution-pinning.md): every contract pins the clone contract-run.sh lives in - the deployed runner being /opt/contract-runner on CT 100. Documented that daily-health-digest has no contract file at all, which is why its execution copy was silently operator-chosen. Tests: tests/test_revision_preflight.sh, 15 assertions over a throwaway clone with a real bare remote. It runs the pre-fix draft against the same cases and shows it passing a ghost script, so the tests provably bite. shellcheck: scripts/revision-preflight.sh and the new test are clean. The three findings remaining in contract-run.sh (SC2086 x2, SC2034) are pre-existing and byte-identical on master.
