Review finding on #13. `checksum_freshness_active()` returned non-zero for any reason — including its own `cargo build` failing — and the caller's `else` branch then announced "this nightly accepts -Z checksum-freshness but still resolves freshness by mtime" regardless. On a machine where content freshness IS live, breaking only the probe's build produced that sentence, which is false, and silently dropped the scenario, which is lost coverage. Reachable, not theoretical: it needs a half-installed toolchain, which is exactly the state a probe exists to notice. The whole point of the preceding commit was to settle this by experiment rather than by asking, and an experiment that cannot tell a negative result from a failed measurement is not settling it. "This toolchain resolves freshness by mtime" is a statement about Cargo; "a probe build failed" is a statement about this machine. They are not interchangeable. Three outcomes now, carried in an exit code: 0 measured ACTIVE both builds ran, the backdated rebuild recompiled 1 measured INACTIVE both builds ran, the backdated rebuild was Fresh 2 NOT MEASURED a probe step failed; nothing was learned Every step that could fail for a reason other than the experiment's own outcome exits 2 explicitly, so a `set -e` abort cannot be mistaken for the 1 that means "measured, and the answer is mtime". Outcome 2 emits a ::warning:: saying in those words that this is a failure to measure and not a finding about Cargo, and prints the tail of both probe logs. The scenario still skips for 1 and 2 alike — everything else the suite asserts is independent of freshness mode — but the reason is now carried to the skip line, so the two are distinguishable at a glance. Verified all three states on a machine where freshness is live: unmodified, mode `on` and 4 assertions; probe build broken with a bogus flag, mode `unmeasured` with the warning and 3 assertions, and no claim about mtime; CARGO_UNSTABLE_CHECKSUM_FRESHNESS stripped inside the probe — CI's condition — mode `off` naming mtime, and 3 assertions.
