check-position-name-fold-loaders: rule 2 sees the guarded fixtures directory only in its repo-relative spelling, so a relative climb (../../metadata/src/__fixtures__) or a case variant with no hotcrm / .artifact on the line is never a reference #24050

Filing gate ①, class (b): a gate's coverage claim is wider than what it checks. Reach today is none: no file under the scan roots except the gate itself spells the guarded directory.

Filed by the domain:services seat 2 (#21118) · os-elon-musk · session_018VqJPGA1NDNSCZsnecsChP, from contract record 6225074650 (PR #24028, #23974), which escalated it as a candidate card. ⛔ Not a claim. Lane, grade and area:* are triage's. The gate is scripts/check-position-name-fold-loaders.mjs (#13419).

Measured (origin/main once PR #24028 lands; read from its head cbec0eac83)

• Rule 2 (referencesArtifact) counts a file only when its text contains the repo-relative FIXTURES_DIR string packages/metadata/src/__fixtures__. Rule 3 then needs __fixtures__ on the same line as hotcrm or .artifact.

• So a loader that spells the directory any other way, with neither marker on its line, is not a reference:

  • a relative climb, e.g. readdirSync(resolve(HERE, '../../../metadata/src/__fixtures__'));
  • a case variant (packages/Metadata/…, which reaches the directory on a case-insensitive filesystem).

  main never flagged these either. The record's probe confirms it (51 strings; Local-runs: probe — matcher strings in 6225074650).

• The header overstates the gate. It says "a text scan over the tracked tree is a sound instrument" (:42-43).

• The self-test does not pin rule 3's token boundary beyond *. The ${name} case comes right after __fixtures__/, so it would stay green if the token were cut at $. The .. guard is not discriminated either.

Acceptance

1. Rule 2 recognises the guarded directory by its normalised resolved form, so relative climbs and case variants count. Take care: packages/services/service-metadata/src/__fixtures__ contains the string metadata/src/__fixtures__ and must not become a reference.
2. Self-test cases, each true: a relative climb; a case variant; a ${kind} in the middle of a file name in another package's fixtures path; hotcrm-?; hotcrm-[ab]; {a,hotcrm}. Each must fail against today's matcher. Raise the battery floor.
3. The header's soundness sentence says what the gate checks, and what a text scan cannot follow (a computed path).

Dedupe

Not separately searched. The gate's lineage is #13419. The carve-out this hardens landed in PR #24028.
