subscriber-up and stall-watch answered only by exit code, so a call that
could not run (module error rc 1, missing interpreter 127) read as "no":
with a subscriber that had ended 0, the error path mapped 0 to completed
and the submit ended with 0; a failed stall-watch silently skipped the
watcher.
Both now take --print: the answer is printed as yes/no and the exit code
is 0 for either. The wrapper asks with --print through _decided_yes, so a
nonzero exit, no answer or anything else is _decision_failed (ERROR line,
exit 1). Without --print the rc contract is unchanged (yes 0, no 1).
Tests: subscriber-up (direct and loop/discuss call sites) and stall-watch,
each failing by traceback, rc 127 or no answer with a subscriber that
ended 0, end the submit with 1 and the ERROR line - at 8241bd5 eight of the
nine ended with 0 (the loop/no-answer one ended with 1 through the loop's
own result and failed only on the ERROR line); yes and no keep their
branches in both paths; --print unit table; the static guard forbids an
rc-read yes/no decision.

Sourcing the wrapper sources lib.sh, which writes $WORKSPACE_ROOT/.mam/shim/
herdr; without WORKSPACE_ROOT that is the checkout. The new N2 wait-rc test
now runs with its tmp dir as WORKSPACE_ROOT, so the N2 tests leave the
checkout untouched. (The existing C tests in this file still write the
checkout's .mam/shim/herdr, as at 56d0bfd - not changed here.)

`exit "$(_decide exit-code ...)"` became `exit ""` when wrapper.py could
not answer (its module or $PY broken): rc 255 on bash 3.2. The other printed
decisions failed open in their own ways: a failed wait-rc returned "" (255),
a failed finalize-begin left finalize-end with an empty --final (argparse
rc 2), and a failed sub-status or finalize-end ended under set -e with the
interpreter's own code (1 for a traceback, 127 for one that cannot run).
Printed decisions now go through _decided <var> <subcommand>, and the
exits through _exit_for <status>: a failed call, an empty answer or a
non-numeric exit code / wait rc prints one ERROR line and exits 1. finalize-
end may legitimately answer nothing (its wrapper gone), so only its rc is
checked. The normal path is unchanged: same answers, exit codes and output.
Left as they are: subscriber-up and stall-watch are answered by rc, so a
failure reads as "no" - the subscriber is then treated as dead (the error
path, whose sub-status/exit-code are now fail-closed) and the notify-only
stall watcher is not started.
Tests (F): the real submit (human job, unreachable broker, 3 s budget) with
a $PY that fails one decision - exit-code, sub-status, finalize-begin,
finalize-end; traceback, rc 127 or no answer - ends with 1 and the ERROR
line; the same run without a failure still ends with 3. cmd_wait with a
failing wait-rc ends with 1. A static guard keeps printed decisions off
raw $(...). At 56d0bfd: exit-code 255/255, finalize-begin 2/2, wait-rc
255/255, sub-status and finalize-end 127 for "gone"; the traceback and
no-answer cases there already ended with 1 (by set -e or by the empty
status mapping to 1) and fail only on the missing ERROR line.

codex, PR #51 round 1. wrapper._sleep computed the span and the remainder
with time.time(). The broker re-observation (up to 3 s) and the disk-heartbeat
grace (1 s) use it, so a wall clock stepped back during the wait stretched it
by the step: on a mocked clock stepped back 10 s, an already completed job was
seen after 11 s / 13 s instead of 1 s / 3 s. The old bash ran `sleep 1` /
`sleep "$left"`, which do not follow the wall clock.
_sleep now measures on time.monotonic(). The deadline (START_TIME + TIMEOUT),
the evidence window and event timestamps stay on the wall clock (_now), as in
the bash.
test_u_a_wait_is_not_stretched_by_a_wall_clock_step_back (1 s, 3 s) swaps the
module's time for a clock stepped back 10 s during the first sleep; on the
previous code it measures 11.0 / 13.0 and fails. The comparison test and the
finalize-related behaviour tests (issue33, issue18, issue14) on macOS /
Python 3.9: 321 passed.

kill(pid, 0) succeeds for a zombie. A caller that captures the wrapper's
output and calls communicate() after TERM leaves the wrapper unreaped while
the finalizer holds its pipes, so the owner check passed until the deadline
and the job was still closed (codex, round 2; reproduced with the real
registry). _alive now asks `ps -o stat=` (POSIX, no /proc) once kill(0)
succeeds and treats state Z as gone, as tests/conftest.py::_pid_alive does;
no ps answer keeps kill(0)'s verdict. The owner is looked at every 0.5 s.
Tests: TERM + communicate() with no wait() for both graces (stand-ins) and
for the timeout grace with the real registry, old vs new; a zombie is not
alive. All four fail on c5cebe6.

finalize-end ran the disk grace and the broker re-observation as a child
of the wrapper; TERM to the wrapper left it running, and at the deadline it
still closed the job and published the error (codex R1, reproduced with the
real registry). The bash loops it replaced ended with the wrapper.
The wrapper now passes its own pid (--watch-pid "$$", as for the stall
watcher). finalize-end checks it every 0.2 s through both waits and before
the close and the event, and leaves without either once it is gone.
A comparison test sends TERM to the old and the new wrapper inside each
grace: both exit at once, leave no process behind and make no call.
Also: no blank line at the end of the old-decisions fixture, and the #42
inventory follows main() one line down.

The wrapper keeps spawn / wait / kill, key injection and the herdr
diagnostic probe; what it decided in bash is now lib_py/delegation/wrapper.py,
reached through one `_decide` helper:
- finalize_unfinished: the clock choice, the disk grace and broker
re-observation, the close request / label, the close and the event
(finalize-begin / finalize-end; bash runs only the busy probe between them)
- start_stall_watch: whether to watch (MAM_STALL_WATCH, remote, human)
- _map_sub_rc, _rc_for (+ MAM_DELEGATE_FAIL_CLOSED), the subscriber
early-exit check and cmd_wait's rc normalisation
- mam_int / mam_int_knob run lib_py/ints.py, which is also the runner's
_positive_int: one implementation of the Issue #26 rule
No behaviour change: tests/test_issue17_item4_decisions.py runs the old
bash functions (copied verbatim from 7209750) and the new wrapper on the
same inputs and compares output, FINAL_JOB_STATUS and the registry /
publish calls. Three static tests that pinned the old bash literals now
pin the Python entry points instead.
