Development record

TestStatuslineCreatesNoDirectory (internal/surface/cli/statusline_readonly_test.go) fails on a loaded machine: its subtest 'an abcd home with no fill directory' takes the status line's 'DROPPED the merging element — facilitator.mode could not be read (git did not answer in time ...: context deadline exceeded)' stderr line for 'a skipped write was said', so a git read that times out under load fails a test about directories. It failed a landing preflight on 2026-11-02 at about 07:15 UTC.
