GodopuandClaude Fable 5.1 4805fd4511 test(issue-5): the G9 no-frozen-helper guard reads code, not comments or docstrings
The full suite on 1667fda showed exactly one failure beyond this host's
baseline: test_g9_phase2a_spawns_no_daemon_and_calls_no_frozen_helper. Its
`\blib\.sh\b` pattern matched a docstring in watcher.py that points at the
shell twin of caller_server ("Same convention as lib.sh's
_herdr_caller_server") - a mention written so the two implementations stay in
sync, not a call.

The guard's own docstring states its claim: no frozen lib.sh helper is
*invoked* from lib_py/loop. Its one prior change (803ba43) added the word
boundary after `hashlib.sha256` tripped it - the same class of false positive,
handled by narrowing the matcher rather than by contorting innocent code.
This continues that: the three patterns and the word boundary are unchanged,
but they now run over the source with comments and docstrings blanked. Every
way Python could actually reach a lib.sh helper - a path or `source` in a
subprocess argv, an identifier - lives in code text, which is still scanned in
full, so the guard keeps its reach. test_g9b pins both sides: an
invocation-shaped string in code still trips it (lib.sh and
ensure_subscriber_daemon both reported), a bare lib.sh path in a list literal
still trips it, and the same words in a module docstring, a function
docstring and a comment do not - with hashlib.sha256 present as the original
regression.

Rephrasing the docstring to dodge the literal was the other option and was
not taken: it would hide a useful cross-reference to satisfy a matcher, which
is the evasion shape this guard should not encourage, and it would leave the
next honest comment to trip the same wire.

"""Issue #5 Phase 2a — lib_py/loop core and shadow watcher.
Written in the order the plan fixes: characterize the current writers BEFORE
routing them through a CAS boundary, so the refactor has an oracle rather than a
promise. Phase 1 proved the value of that ordering; it also proved that a fake
which cannot express a failure hides it, so every double here models the real
contract (herdr's exit/stream split, the registry lock, the record on disk).
Sections
1. X-01..X-04 current writer behaviour (must hold before and after P2A-01).
2. engine the single CAS transition boundary and its lock discipline.
3. watcher herdr agent wait wrapping, stream split, reconnect backoff.
4. policy decisions checked against the phase-0 scenario contracts.
5. shadow the runner that cannot write, proven by hashing the registry.
