The census listed 17 candidates in ecstore. Sixteen were false positives of three shapes, and reading them showed the heuristics rather than the tests were wrong:
- `#[should_panic(expected = "...")]` (5). `should_panic` was already in the verification signals, but the check only ever ran against the function body — the attribute block was collected and then ignored, so the expected panic message, which *is* the assertion, was invisible.
- Bodies that are a single call into a shared harness (9), like `run(DurabilityMode::Strict).await` and `aborting_encode_drops_blocked_producer(EncodePipeline::Vec).await`. The delegation rule keyed off callee names (`assert_`/`verify_`/`run_`/`_harness`), which these do not match, though a body that is nothing but one call delegates by construction whatever the callee is called.
- Compile-time contracts (2): a turbofish between the callee and its parens (`assert_replication_config_ext::<T>()`) broke the delegation regex, and a nested `fn` that is only bound and discarded is the same signature guard as the already-recognised `fn _name()` form.
The script now folds the attribute block into the verification text, allows a turbofish in the delegation patterns, and recognises both a single-call body and a discarded nested-fn binding. Tree-wide candidates drop from 53 to 33, ecstore from 17 to 1.
The one that survives was real: `test_error_conversions` performed two conversions and discarded both results. It now pins what each conversion must produce — a plain `io::Error` stays `DiskError::Io` rather than being guessed at from its `NotFound` kind, a typed error boxed through `io::Error` round-trips back to itself instead of degrading to `Io`, and a serde_json error folds into `other` with its message intact.

* test(io-metrics): assert lib.rs record helper emissions
The 29 assertion-less record_* smoke tests in io-metrics/src/lib.rs called
their helpers and checked nothing; because METRICS_ENABLED defaults to
false they did not even reach the emission bodies. Replace them with six
DebuggingRecorder tests that enable the gate, pin every metric name the
helpers own, and pin the derived values, branch selection and label
mapping (rustfs/backlog#1836).
* test(tooling): anchor assertless-census delegation tokens to name segments
