    "detail": "WHY THIS EXISTS.\n\nThree acceptance tests written in one batch could never pass, and each failed for a different\nreason that the author could have predicted:\n\n  WT-0110  needle \"properties\" with quotes, against /api/directory/CAP_MINT. input_schema is a JSON\n           STRING inside the response, so the raw body carries it escaped and the literal never\n           appears. The work was correct; 831 of 1068 rows passed the coverage test beside it.\n  WT-0111  matched trigger='event' when the stored value is 'event:NAME'.\n  WT-0114  called /api/dispatch?invoke=NOW. The acceptance runner holds no credentials, so it got\n           401. Every ?invoke= URL needs a share token, and a token must never be written into a\n           task object.\n\nWF-0001 is the same class, already in the record: a contains test matched the whole HTTP response,\nso a needle appearing in the shared stylesheet failed every article page regardless of the article.\n\nTHE INVARIANT THAT SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED IT.\n\nAn acceptance test is executed by unauthenticated infrastructure. A test that the runner cannot\nreach is not a strict test — it is an unrunnable one, and it fails work that is correct. The runner\nalready refuses unknown test types on exactly this reasoning: \"a test the runner cannot execute is\nnot a test that passed.\" The same standard has to apply to a test whose URL the runner cannot open\nand to a needle that cannot appear.\n\nWHAT TO BUILD.\n\nValidate acceptance tests at CREATE time, in createTask, and refuse the task rather than accept one\nthat can never close:\n\n  1. For every test of type http_ok/contains/not_contains, fetch the url unauthenticated at create\n     time. A non-200 refuses the create and names the status. This is one request per test on a\n     route that already refuses unknown fields.\n  2. For contains/not_contains, run the needle against that fetched body immediately. If a contains\n     needle is already absent AND the task is being created as evidence of finished work, that is\n     allowed — but the response must report it, so the author sees the test is red before leaving.\n  3. For sql_count_at_least, prepare the statement against DB and refuse a syntax error. Do not run\n     the count; the number is expected to change.\n  4. Refuse any test whose url contains `share=`, `token=`, `key=` or `invoke=`. The first three\n     would put a credential in the canonical object; the fourth cannot work unauthenticated.\n\nWHY AT CREATE AND NOT AT SUBMIT.\n\nAt submit, the author has already done the work and the refusal reads as a rejection of the work.\nAt create, it reads as what it is: this test cannot measure anything. That is the difference\nbetween a gate that teaches and a gate that punishes.",
