Triage: 2 pre-existing red checks surfaced by the actions.lock cure (PR #66) #67

Summary

hyperpolymath/blocky-writer#66 carries the actions.lock desync cure from the estate campaign (hyperpolymath/standards#968). The lockfile change itself verifies clean. The checks listed below are pre-existing reds that only became visible once the cure revived the workflows that run them.

Per the standing stopping rule, a pre-existing red is an issue with acceptance criteria, not a merge blocker. This is that issue for this repo.

Failing checks (2)

core-fill-tests

• Determine whether core-fill-tests is fixed, retired, or accepted with a documented exemption. It may not stay undetermined.
• Record whether core-fill-tests is also red on main. If it is, it measures the estate, not this change, and nothing is required of this branch that its base does not satisfy.
• If fixed: the check is green on this PR head, and the fix is in the repo — not continue-on-error, not a demotion to a warning, not removal from the required set.

extension-build

• Determine whether extension-build is fixed, retired, or accepted with a documented exemption. It may not stay undetermined.
• Record whether extension-build is also red on main. If it is, it measures the estate, not this change, and nothing is required of this branch that its base does not satisfy.
• If fixed: the check is green on this PR head, and the fix is in the repo — not continue-on-error, not a demotion to a warning, not removal from the required set.

Acceptance criteria for closing this issue

• Every check above has a recorded determination (fix / retire / exempt).
• Any check determined fixed is green on a run of this repo's default branch.
• Any check determined retired is removed from the workflow and from the repo's required-check set in the same change.
• Any check determined exempt has the exemption written down with its reason and a review date.
• No check was closed by muting it. Repair or retire; never silence.

Context

• Campaign roll-up: actions.lock step-level desync: 39 repos with silently dead CI (startup_failure) standards#968
• Cross-cutting classes (this repo's reds are mostly instances of them): Cross-cutting governance reds surfaced by the actions.lock cure — 9 classes across 17 PRs (incl. a live gate for the retired A2ML) standards#994
• Lock policy + the pin bump that disarms the latent blocker: actions.lock policy: job-level reusable refs are reported, never required — and the pin bump that disarms the latent blocker standards#993
