Ten rules that read the tool's own output or the document's own text, so that 42 lines the 2026-11-01 sweep reported as FAIL land on the verdict their evidence supports. A mid-line traceback header and a prompt on closed stdin are read by the crash rule. A numbered brace slot is a placeholder only as a whole shell word. A reader-named operand of cd, ls, tree and cat is a placeholder. A skipped cd loses the directory for the rest of its section. A tool pointing at the reader's configuration, or asking for a path where the document wrote a name, is a missing fixture, and the configuration-load verbs widen. The registered-noun family learns three wordings, and a name the command never passed is BLOCKED rather than FAIL. A failing line whose file operand an earlier unpassed line also named is blocked on that line. Output the document shows under a command, which the tool then printed, is documented behavior. A subcommand the page introduces as a linter is check mode for that document, and a crash on a check-mode line stays a failure. DESIGN.md records each rule.

Offline reclassification of the sweep's session dumps goes from 64 FAIL lines to the 22 true ones. The plan A/B over the 42 pinned clones moves only the lines each rule names. Local CI mirror green including TestDocker.
