#3078 merged its conversion of the orphaned-pending-step-results sweep
**before this test landed**, so that sweep is on main with no coverage.
This closes the gap.
## The gap was measured, not assumed
With all three of #3078's conversions reverted, **all 204 self-healing
tests still passed**. I had cited that number as verification when I
opened it. It was meaningless for that change: every existing test in
the file uses `in-review` / `in-progress`, where the literal is correct,
so none of them could see the defect.
This is the same "a green suite is not coverage" failure I flagged in
other PRs today — in my own work, twice. The only reason I caught it is
that I finally ran the revert check on myself.
## Two cases
- **An executor-owned card in a renamed wip lane is SKIPPED.** Against
the pre-#3078 sweep this fails: the sweep reaches a card an executor is
actively running and rewrites its `pending` step results to `failed` —
the one thing that file's header says it must never do. The liveness
triple does not cover it; those legs prove an *in-process* session, and
an executor on another node or between session handles is exactly what
the column skip is for.
- **A genuine orphan on that same renamed board is still recovered** —
the skip must narrow, not disable. Passes either way, deliberately.
## What it pins, precisely
The **invariant**, not a line. Reverting either single guard still
passes, because the page-snapshot check and the fresh-row re-read
protect independently. What fails is reverting the sweep's column
handling as a whole — which is the condition worth pinning, and matches
the project's "fix the invariant, not the repro" rule.
## Still uncovered, said plainly
#3078's other two sweeps — worktree-metadata liveness and agent-link
drift — have no dedicated case. The orphaned-step-results sweep got the
test first because it is the one that can corrupt a live executor's
state. The other two remain honest debt rather than implied coverage.
## Verification
`self-healing-orphaned-pending-step-results` **10 passed** on current
main · full self-healing suites 204 · `pnpm test:gate` 161 + 13 + 487 +
71 · lint — green.
