Every section banner dies (103 -> 0) across test/lang, the observer
suites, the C carriers, and the five comment-heavy corpus fixtures;
banner provenance (#N cites, carrier numbers, repair-cluster labels)
folded into headers or adjacent WHY comments. Narration deleted; row
provenance, ref cites, divergence pins, and layout contracts kept
(fwd-ref decl-order guards and bootstrap-gate corpus rationale
restored where the sweep over-cut). Comment-only proven: all 3742
wwbuild workdir .s byte-identical before/after; test-commit and
test-byteid (161 lang + 1399 data, 0 pinned-divergent) green.
Every surviving carrier now owns its artifacts: checked mkdir/mkdtemp/
fopen acquisition, one all-exit cleanup funnel per carrier, ENOENT-
tolerant checked unlinks, exact-path deletion (rm -rf only for an
owned pid-keyed dir or a .sepwork beneath one), and cleanup failure
fails a passing carrier without overwriting its diagnostic. In the
same pass the carriers adapt to the driver contract this branch lands:
--sep and WW_PKGCACHE are gone, -S and the /tmp/ww_run_<pid> scratch
contract are asserted, and rows whose runtime or reject coverage moved
to test/wcc/data fixtures or test/lang @test owners are trimmed to the
byte/artifact/diagnostic observations only they can make.
Repair and adaptation ride together because most files interleave both
in the same hunks; splitting would manufacture intermediate carrier
states that never existed and cannot run against either driver.
When the dynamic section pushed the header past the first page, the
entry point kept its first-page address — every sufficiently large
dynamic binary SIGSEGV'd into the headers. Recompute e_entry as
entry - 0x1000 + text_off in both stages (ELF: the entry must point
into .text wherever it lands). Both stages move in one commit: one
ELF contract; the 989_dynentry gate pins the field and the run.
