dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 50649c1f87 feat: expansion promotion gated on all three discontinuity signals
AR-019 — promotion may only borrow same-identity evidence from a span where
identity is certain, so every discontinuity signal now clears the buffers rather
than just the histogram cut.

is_scene_boundary was already named in the gate but never set by anything, so
that half of it was dead until AR-010 gave it a producer. It now does what the
spec always said. The third signal, an identity contradiction, needs no code
here: AR-015 closes a track whose belief swapped, so it can no longer promote.

Ownership now comes from the registry rather than a second tally. TrackGallery
was computing its own plurality vote over accepted frames, which meant two
different answers to "who is this track" could coexist in one run — and the
expansion one ignored the Bayesian accumulation entirely, weighting thirty
near-identical looks the same as thirty distinct ones. The local tally survives
only as a fallback for callers with no registry attached, which is the unit
tests and the replay harness.

Suite: 92 cases, 6133 assertions.

Denominators are read from requirements.md at run time, never hardcoded. Coverage counts a requirement only when it is tagged in source and has a verification tier this repo's CI host can execute (T1, T2, T3, static).

Not executable in CI

These requirements have no verification tier this repo's CI host can run, so a tag on them is evidence of intent, not of verification. They are never counted as covered.

Tagged but unexecuted: AR-027, VR-001, VR-002, VR-003 — a test exists and is tagged, but this CI host cannot run it. Report those runs separately.

Orphan tags

A tag naming an ID requirements.md does not define. This is what renumbering produces, and what a typo produces.

None.

Requirements tracing up to nothing

A register row whose Traces to cell names no parent. Work serving no stated goal is how scope creeps in, and it is invisible unless something looks.

None.

Recorded exceptions

Deliberate, documented departures from an invariant (EXCEPTION: XX-nnn <reason>). Reported separately and never counted as coverage — an exception is a decision to be reviewed, not evidence a requirement is met.

None.
