Summary

Pins the recursive behavior of the declared-conflict check at depth ≥3 in the
committed suite. The shipped depth-2 agreement area
(tests/checks/85-conflict-guards.sh, token AC23) capped its target resolver at
one nested segment and built its event stream from a top-level node to its
immediate child only; this change widens the resolver, makes the event build
recurse into a decomposing child, and adds the additive fixture root
tests/fixtures/recursive-conflicts/.

Work item: 0015-recursive-workflow-guards/0003-recursive-conflicts-guard.

Changes

• tests/checks/85-conflict-guards.sh — widen guard_resolve to the recursive
  grammar NNNN-slug(/MMMM-slug)*; replace the two hardcoded top-level loops with
  guard_walk_node (recurses into a child holding a manifest) and a parameterized
  guard_collect; add the generic fixture_entities analyzer; add the
  AC23 recursive-* assertion blocks. Existing constants, analyzers, and the
  depth-2 AC23 blocks are unchanged.
• tests/fixtures/recursive-conflicts/ — new committed, read-only fixture tree
  three levels deep with a decomposing child, a legacy 5-column manifest at depth
  2, a shipped child, and malformed/unresolved declarations. Ids stay in the
  non-allocating 92xx fixture space and reference no live work/ path.

Testing

• bash tests/run.sh → TOTAL: 551 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
• FRAMEWORK_TEST_AREAS=85-conflict-guards bash tests/run.sh → TOTAL: 97 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped; all 11 AC23 recursive-* labels ok.
• bash tests/run.sh <fresh clone with no work/**> → 551 passed, 0 failed (proves the area reads no live work/ path).
• Acceptance criteria covered: AC1–AC12 (see verify.md).

Conflict detection

• No conflicts detected.
  • Merge base: 8d1a35e (item branch HEAD); git merge-tree --write-tree over HEAD/origin/main reported no conflicted paths.
  • Framework-integrity: no duplicate top-level NNNN; no duplicate per-parent MMMM at any decomposing node; every manifest Depends on resolves within its own Children table and the stored graphs are acyclic.
  • Duplicated inventory/count facts agree and the full suite agreement areas pass.

Reconcile

• Result: no-op (already up to date) — the item branch was a strict ancestor of origin/main; git merge --no-edit origin/main fast-forwarded to 43382b1, adding only the sibling plan artifacts under work/0015-recursive-workflow-guards/{0001,0002,0004}/.
• Resolved paths: none (fast-forward, no conflict).
• Re-verification: bash tests/run.sh → 551 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped; item checks (area 85) → 97 passed, 0 failed.

Risks

• The area runs only fixture assertions; the live /conflicts, /status, and /build-gate model runs remain a documented manual residual (unchanged from the shipped depth-2 area).
• tests/mutation.sh registration for the new fixture root and labels is owned by the sibling 0005-guard-registration-sweep; bash tests/run.sh (the CI command) is unaffected.
