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.
`ww test <file> <pattern>` runs only the @test fns whose names match the
fnmatch glob; no pattern runs all (byte-for-byte the pre-filter path);
zero matches prints "No tests run" and exits 0 (Hare ground truth
ref/hare/test/+test.ha:114-117). A pattern in directory mode is rejected
"ww test: pattern needs a single test file" (rc 2), identical wording in
both twins (cmd/ww/main.c do_test + selfhost/cmd/ww/main.ww dotest).
Mechanism (a): rt/start.s stashes argc/argv into rt_argc/rt_argv getters
(rt_envp twin shape, -T synth untouched so 990-997 byte-id holds);
lib/os.args() rebuilds the []str view, build-once-cached; lib/test/run.ww
imports fnmatch and filters av[1..] (argv[0] is the binary path). The
driver forwards the 2nd positional as argv[1] via fork/execv (cstage) /
procrun (wwstage) so glob metachars aren't shell-expanded.
os.args() is the first `alloc`-caller in the base os module, so os.ww now
imports rt — the `alloc` builtin's malloc lowers to rt_malloc only when
the rt binding is bundled (mirror lib/strings/strings.ww:30); without it a
plain `ww build` of any os-importing program links bare libc `malloc`
(undefined). os is bundled by ~every program, so this is load-bearing.
The lib/test floor rises os-only -> os+fnmatch+ascii+strings in every -T
build; the bundled `ascii` module vs a `@test fn ascii` collision that
exposed is closed by the preceding #30 promote commit. 989_test_filter
pins the full matrix on both twins byte-identically; 949 gains the
dir-mode reject row. (#17)
lib/test/run.ww: fork+wait4 runner; each @test runs in its own child,
abort/SEGV/FPE decoded from wait-status, failures recorded and the run
continues; exit = fail count. Tests are hermetic: module globals do not
persist test-to-test (fresh fork image; sanctioned divergence from
harec's shared-process __test_main, no setjmp/signal layer needed).
-T synth (both stages) emits a module-global (str,*fn() void) table +
return run(table) instead of straight-line calls. Driver twins bundle
lib/test under test mode and gain ww test -c/-o (go test -c) so the
byte-id gates diff the same artifact the real path builds. Gates
989/910/997 rewired onto it; new 911 pins record-and-continue across
all three fault classes; 949 +3 rows. (#17-team commit-2)
Lone -I/-L/-l/-o now error "ww <cmd>: -X needs an argument" (rc2),
matching selfhost main.ww. do_test rewritten to an -I-only loop that
loud-rejects -l/-L/-o/unknown instead of silently swallowing them.
949_driver_flagargs: table-driven, 10 rows, each run against both
twins asserting identical rc+stderr. (#15-team)
