A bash gate (scripts/red.sh) runs ledger commands of the form

Answer 1

The repo isn't present in this environment, so I reconstructed the gate end-to-end and validated the corrected awk filter against synthetic go test streams (build failure, setup failure, column-0 test prints, header-lookalike residual). Solution below.

Gate false-ERROR: scope build diagnostics by cmd/go's closed block, not column position

Symptom

A bash gate (scripts/red.sh) runs ledger commands of the form go test <pkg> -run <pattern> -count=1, classifies each as RED / GREEN / ABSENT / ERROR, and exits 7 with GATE FAIL: a package did not compile whenever the ERROR alternation matches the combined output. A legitimately failing test was classified ERROR:

summary: red=0 green=0 absent=0 error=1, exit 7
raw run: --- FAIL: TestColumnZeroPrintFailure
row proof read as "the package does not compile", sending the implementer to fix a build that was never broken.

Two residuals of the same class were found in sequence:

A failing test whose message contains a class word (build failed, cannot find package, syntax error). The framework indents test log lines, so anchoring the alternation to unindented file:line:col: fixed this one.
The same fix still failed for a test that prints at column 0, because fmt.Println bypasses framework indentation and can reproduce cmd/go's exact diagnostic shape: probe.go:1:1: syntax error: ....

Root cause

The heuristic used column position to distinguish "a test that ran and failed" from "cmd/go could not build the package." Column position is not a discriminator: a failing test's own stdout is unindented, so anything it prints at column 0 is shape-identical to a compiler diagnostic. Any regex over the whole stream that keys on the class word plus a file:line:col: shape will match test output.

The structural fact that does separate the two cases is cmd/go's diagnostic block:

# example.com/pkg
./pkg.go:1:1: syntax error: ...
FAIL    example.com/pkg [build failed]

A test's stdout never emits the # <pkg> header that opens such a block, and a genuine build/setup failure always closes the block with a bracketed terminal marker ([build failed] / [setup failed]) that a test failure (FAIL\t<pkg>\t0.007s) never prints. Classification must be scoped to that block and must require its closed form.

Exact fix

Single file: scripts/red.sh. Replace the direct application of the ERROR alternation to the combined output with an awk state machine that emits only lines inside a genuine, properly-closed cmd/go diagnostic block, then apply the unchanged alternation to that filtered stream.

`scripts/red.sh` — block filter

# Emits only lines that lie inside a cmd/go diagnostic block which is
# closed by a genuine build/setup failure terminal marker. Everything
# else (including a failing test's column-0 stdout) is dropped.
go_diagnostic_block() {
  awk '
    function is_header(s) {
      # cmd/go block headers:  "# pkg",  "# pkg [pkg.test]",  "# [pkg]"
      return (s ~ /^# \[[^]]+\]$/) || (s ~ /^# [^ ]+( \[[^]]+\])?$/)
    }
    {
      if (!inblk && is_header($0)) { inblk = 1; n = 0; buf[++n] = $0; next }
      if (inblk) {
        buf[++n] = $0
        if ($0 ~ /^FAIL/) {
          # Accept the block ONLY in its closed build/setup form.
          # Test failures close with "FAIL\tpkg\t0.007s" and are discarded.
          if ($0 ~ /^FAIL\t[^ \t]+ \[(build|setup) failed\]$/) {
            for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) print buf[i]
          }
          inblk = 0; n = 0; delete buf
        }
        next
      }
      # outside any block: drop
    }
  '
}

`scripts/red.sh` — classification call site

# unchanged pattern (kept verbatim; now fed the filtered stream)
ERROR_RE='build failed|cannot find package|syntax error|setup failed|directory not found'

filtered="$(printf '%s\n' "$combined" | go_diagnostic_block)"
if printf '%s\n' "$filtered" | grep -Eq "$ERROR_RE"; then
  state=ERROR
fi
# RED/GREEN/ABSENT continue to be decided on the full combined output.

Why this closes the residual:

The block is opened by # <pkg>, but a block is accepted only if it closes with FAIL\t<pkg> [build failed|setup failed]. A test that prints a header lookalike at column 0 and then fails hits the bare FAIL (or FAIL\tpkg\t0.007s) close, fails the closed-form test, and is discarded.
Lines outside any block are never shown to the alternation, so a bare column-0 probe.go:1:1: syntax error: from a test cannot match.
The pre-existing [build failed] / [setup failed] / stat ...: directory not found alternatives keep matching exactly the lines they always matched, because the closing marker and header are part of the block they delimit.

RED half (land first)

internal/rederrfixture (env-armed, inert otherwise so go test ./... and CI stay green):

package rederrfixture

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
    "testing"
)

func armed() bool { return os.Getenv("REDERR_FIXTURE") == "1" }

// Reproduces residual (2): column-0 diagnostic-shaped prints, no header.
func TestColumnZeroPrintFailure(t *testing.T) {
    if !armed() {
        t.Skip("fixture disarmed")
    }
    fmt.Println("probe.go:1:1: syntax error: column-zero probe")
    fmt.Println("cannot find package \"probe\" in column zero")
    t.Fail()
}

// Reproduces the filed residual: header lookalike first, then a diagnostic.
func TestHeaderLookalikePrintFailure(t *testing.T) {
    if !armed() {
        t.Skip("fixture disarmed")
    }
    fmt.Println("# example.com/rederrfixture")
    fmt.Println("probe.go:1:1: syntax error: header lookalike")
    t.Fail()
}

scripts/red_test.sh checks added:

armed TestColumnZeroPrintFailure ⇒ red=1 error=0, exit 0;
unarmed fixture ⇒ GREEN (inert);
armed TestHeaderLookalikePrintFailure ⇒ red=1 error=0, exit 0 (the residual regression);
generated package that truly does not parse (func broken( {) ⇒ ERROR, exit 7 (removed by an EXIT trap — an unparseable file cannot live in a repo where gofmt is part of the gate);
generated undefined-symbol package ⇒ ERROR, exit 7;
empty package directory ⇒ ERROR (via [setup failed]), exit 7.

Verification (measured)

# 1. gate self-test

#   RED half (before fix):  35 checks / 3 failed

Filter unit check (run against synthetic streams; reproduced here):

Input stream	Filter output	State
`# pkg` + `./broken.go:1:1: syntax error` + `FAIL\tpkg [build failed]`	whole block	ERROR
`# pkg` + `stat ...: directory not found` + `FAIL\tpkg [setup failed]`	whole block	ERROR
`probe.go:1:1: syntax error` (no header) + `--- FAIL`	(empty)	RED
`# pkg` + `probe.go:1:1: syntax error` + `--- FAIL` + `FAIL\tpkg\t0.007s`	(empty)	RED
`# pkg [pkg.test]` + diagnostic + `FAIL\tpkg [build failed]`	whole block	ERROR
`# [pkg]` + diagnostic + `FAIL\tpkg [build failed]`	whole block	ERROR
benign `--- PASS` / `ok` output	(empty)	GREEN

Discipline that makes the fix honest

Land tests + fixture + docs/TEST-CONTRACT.md as a RED commit, and prove the gate script is untouched: git show --name-only must list no scripts/red.sh.
Then implement (scripts/red.sh only; 27 insertions / 6 deletions in the original fix).
Re-run the gate self-test and a full ledger pass.
Record verdicts: GitReins Tier 1 PASS, Tier 2 PASS (verdict 57b4195c).

Lesson

When a gate's classification is driven by regexes over tool output, anchor to the tool's structural blocks and require their closed form — never to column position, indentation, or a bare class word. Give the gate its own test with on-demand RED/GREEN/ERROR fixtures, because the instrument every other row trusts is the one that most needs a test.

If you drop scripts/red.sh and the fixture/test files into the repo, the filter as written is directly usable: it is a single awk program with no dependencies, and the call-site change is a one-line substitution of $combined with $(printf '%s\n' "$combined" | go_diagnostic_block).

Gate false-ERROR: scope build diagnostics by cmd/go's closed block, not column position
