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.
asmgate_test.ww absorbs 530_w6a_parsenum and 989_datargate_run: the
strtoll-semantics identity rows plus the bare-minus reject against
both assemblers with cross-stage .o byte-identity, and the undefined
DATAR-slot loud reject (no .o written) with the defined-slot
byte-identical ok path. The w6a_ww skip gates drop: the Make target
declares both assemblers.
archive_test.ww absorbs 610_arch and 632_w6l_manyflags: archive
member selectivity through a load-bearing undefined @symbol extern
(link exit 0, run exit 7), and the -L capacity table {1,64,65,100,
128} against both w6l and w6l_ww with an ET_EXEC check per leg. ar is
/usr/bin/ar via runcommand; the junk -L flags are real argv entries
instead of a 16KB shell string.
link_test.ww absorbs 600_w6l and 620_data_link: ET_EXEC on the
trivial pipeline, writable-global read/write runs, the exact
two-PT_LOAD R+X/R+W split, the single-PT_LOAD no-DATAW invariant 992
depends on, and the BSS filesz trim (filesz 1 < memsz 32, loader
zero-fill). Strengthened: the ldd staticness proxy is replaced by a
direct no-PT_INTERP phdr scan.
elfobj_test.ww (test/object, on testenv) absorbs 500_w6a, 510_dataw,
and 520_datar: ELF64 header magic/class over the 4 inline programs,
DATAW section/symbol layout plus the 6-section no-DATAW legacy
invariant 991 depends on, and the DATAR .rela.data reloc through
link and run. Strengthened: the reloc symbol is resolved to
'greeting' (declared but never implemented in the C carrier).
