Commit builds have no update channel, even when installed through dpkg. Read the installed stamp before checking the refusal message and require exit code 2 for both artifact kinds.
Verified real CLI refusal paths, negative controls, and related tests: 15 passed. Ruff and type checks passed. Full deb validation was not rerun.
Real CLI, ffmpeg, pm, APT refusal and TUI startup passed. A detached gateway child still wrote pycache after SIGTERM; use the existing tree terminator and wait for all descendants before deleting the test home.
Stage npm, ffmpeg and its bionic runtime libraries, and static ARM ripgrep. Bind caches to actual build inputs. Generate entrypoints from the project manifest and verify real CLI/TUI startup and media conversion offline. Keep versions unchanged. Windows service work remains out of scope.
