The four delegation scripts become a real package. Their old paths stay as
shims because those paths are a wire contract: agent instructions, the bash
wrapper, SKILL.md, BOOTSTRAP.md, deploy/install.sh and three test modules all
call them literally.
The shim binds the lib_py.delegation *package* to the tree beside it, once per
process, and never touches sys.path. Two cheaper designs were rejected with
evidence (the context matrix now lives in the test suite):
* inserting the sibling skills dir at sys.path[0] makes the first sandbox
copy imported under pytest shadow lib_py.agents/layout/state for the whole
session, and the identity assertion cannot see it -- `is` proves same
object, not same tree.
* loading only the named module by file path leaves a module that imports
siblings pulling them from whichever tree is on the path, so a frozen
publish_event ran against live dependencies and lost half of B-13.
Binding the package fixes both: one tree for all delegation modules, the parent
lib_py untouched, and a sys.path append only when no lib_py exists anywhere
(true standalone). Bind-once rather than nearest-wins, because rebinding would
split existing references and break monkeypatching.
Also moves the env-file load off import (_load_dotenv -> ensure_env_loaded,
called by each process entry point including reconcile.sh's embedded
subscriber), so importing the library no longer mutates os.environ.
Verified: PV-1 identity+provenance, PV-4's ten import scenarios plus K1/K3/K6
in fresh interpreters, PV-5 shim byte-identity, an AST check that the package
imports no sibling lib_py module, and --help output diffed against the
pre-move capture.

The three lib.sh delegation helpers (delegate_submit_job,
delegate_publish_event, start_watchdog) had zero direct test coverage, so a
"full suite green" gate would have been vacuous for the Phase 1 extraction.
Add the regression oracle before the move:
- C-01..C-09 golden tests for the shell helpers: the non-fatal contract (empty
job id, missing script, non-zero interpreter exit), exact argv forwarding,
stdout-is-the-job-id-alone, and the daemon's PID/dedup/log-path behaviour.
All are parametrized over MAM_DELEGATION_PY so the legacy and python bodies
must agree.
- CLI contract snapshots taken from the argparse parsers rather than --help
text, so wording stays free to change but option names, choices and defaults
do not.
- Auto-completion invariant guards for the three surfaces that decide job
status: EVENT_TO_STATUS, the wrapper's exit-code mapping, and reconcile.sh's
terminal mutation literals.
- conftest: PV-2/PV-3 session guards asserting that every non-delegation
lib_py.* module resolves to the real skills tree and that no temp-tree
sys.path entry contributes a lib_py package. MAM_ENV_FILE is pointed at an
absent file inside the sandbox so delegation code can never inject the real
.mam.env into a test process.
