#!/usr/bin/env node /* FNXC:WorkflowLifecycleColumns 2026-07-30-14:20 (Phase C convergence): CLI wrapper. The rules, the measured numbers that motivated them, and the reason the three classes are reported separately live in `scripts/lib/lifecycle-column-census.mjs`; the regression suite that pins each form this census must catch lives in `packages/engine/src/__tests__/lifecycle-column-census.test.ts`. Report-only by default: node scripts/lifecycle-column-census.mjs # human table node scripts/lifecycle-column-census.mjs --json # machine-readable node scripts/lifecycle-column-census.mjs --compare # cross-check AST vs text classifier node scripts/lifecycle-column-census.mjs --strict # fail if any file DIVERGES from baseline node scripts/lifecycle-column-census.mjs --strict --update-baseline # re-record after lowering it `--strict` fails on a RISE (a reintroduced guard) and equally on a DROP that was not recorded: a stale allowance is a hole through which the same guards can return while the check stays green. WIRED INTO THE MERGE GATE (`pnpm test:gate`) as of 2026-07-31. The original note here said the opposite — "NOT wired into the merge gate" — on the reasoning that a thousand-site backlog cannot be blocking on the day it is first measured. That reasoning was sound and its conclusion expired: the baseline is per-file, so gating costs nothing for files nobody touches, and while it was unwired the baseline drifted to 854 against a tree of 787. Sixty-seven guards of regression would have merged green (PR #2661). Consequence for conversion PRs, stated because it is a real cost: lowering a count now REQUIRES re-recording the baseline in the same PR (`--strict --update-baseline`). That is deliberate — it puts the new number in the diff, where a reviewer sees it, instead of in a hand-written claim. */ import { execSync } from "node:child_process"; import { existsSync, readFileSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs"; import { dirname, join } from "node:path"; import { fileURLToPath } from "node:url"; /* FNXC:WorkflowLifecycleColumns 2026-07-30-22:50: the AST classifier is the instrument.
