The managed proof pack behind `npm run dev:verify` still named
tests/17-recovery-layout.spec.ts, which 1c38d79937 replaced with
tests/17-proxmox-backups-layout.spec.ts in July. The registered proof for
scripts/hot-dev-bg.sh pinned the stale path, so nothing flagged it.
The stale path did not fail the pack. Playwright treats each spec path as
a filter, so `test --list` with main's arguments reports 10 tests in 2
files and exits 0: the Proxmox backups layout guard had silently dropped
out of dev:verify.
The replacement spec reads the mock-mode estate, while dev:verify attaches
to the managed runtime in whatever mode it was left in. Under the managed
runtime it now skips with a `npm run mock:on` hint when mock mode is off,
instead of flipping modes in place: Monitor.SetMockMode clears the
runtime's active alerts and in-memory history on every switch. The Core
E2E harness runs mock mode and is unaffected.
test-hot-dev-bg.sh now pins the new spec and checks that every spec the
default verify command names exists under tests/integration; against
main's hot-dev-bg.sh that check fails on the retired path. The integration
README and its pin, the deployment-installability contract clause, and two
unused RECOVERY_PRODUCT_SURFACE_EXACT_FILES lists naming deleted files are
brought in line.
