Add failing tests for two bugs in the write-evidence detection subsystem:
- T-ZW-GIT-FP: git_writes_detected false positive on pre-diverged branch
- T-WE-FS-FN: fs_writes_detected false negative on late-created watch directory
- T-WE-FS-SENTINEL: sentinel disambiguation (None/OSError vs {}/missing-dir)
Also updates TestGitWritesClonePath docstring to clarify it tests
_detect_branch_divergence in isolation (not the production call path).

Bug 1 fix (git_writes_detected false positive):
- Add _detect_session_git_writes(cwd, pre_session_sha) to _headless_git.py.
Compares pre/post HEAD SHAs — a session-scoped delta. A branch that was
already ahead of origin before the session returns False correctly.
- Replace _detect_branch_divergence call site in _headless_execute.py.
- Update __init__.py facade re-export (_detect_branch_divergence remains
in _headless_git.py for existing tests that import it directly).
Bug 2 fix (fs_writes_detected false negative on late-created dirs):
- Pre-scan loop now stores {} for watch dirs that don't exist at session
start, distinct from None (OSError). The post-scan guard (pre is not None)
passes for {}, so session-created directories with files are detected.
Test 1D: add unit tests for _detect_session_git_writes (all four code paths).

… else branch The session-scoped git detection and FS sentinel disambiguation fix added 4 lines to _headless_execute.py (else branch for missing watch dirs). Update the arch budget from 595 to 600. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ndex Replace fragile call_count index with a `raised` flag that fires OSError on the first _stat_snapshot call matching the target watch_dir. More robust if call ordering or number of watch_dirs changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Two complementary false-signal bugs in the write-evidence detection subsystem share a root cause pattern: pre/post comparisons without proper baseline handling. Bug 1 (
git_writes_detectedfalse positive) uses a global git state check instead of a session-scoped delta. Bug 2 (fs_writes_detectedfalse negative) silently skips directories created mid-session because the pre-scan omits them and the post-scan conflates "missing key" with "scan error" via a sharedNonesentinel.This is the 5th+ fix to this subsystem. The architectural solution introduces session-scoped baselines and sentinel disambiguation, following the
CloneSnapshot/detect_contaminationpattern already proven inclone_guard.py.Part B will cover broader regression test hardening and the discriminated union for
DirSnapshot— implement as a separate task.Requirements
Two complementary false-signal bugs in the write-evidence detection subsystem:
git_writes_detectedfalse positive:_detect_branch_divergence()reportsTruefor every session on any branch already ahead oforigin/HEAD, regardless of whether the session committed anything. On a branch 977 commits ahead, every session getsgit_writes_detected=trueunconditionally.fs_writes_detectedfalse negative: When a skill creates its output directory mid-session (e.g.,mkdir -p .autoskillit/temp/review-approach/), the pre-session_stat_snapshotscan skips it (directory doesn't exist yet), and the post-session comparison short-circuits on the missing key.fs_writes_detectedremainsfalsedespite confirmed file writes.Both bugs share a root cause pattern: the pre/post comparison model lacks proper baseline handling for pre-existing state.
