Verification evidence: adoption precedes the spawn

issue-201 · every row of bugfix.md § Testing. Captured 2026-08-10 from the repository root.

T1 — the ordering, asserted from inside tmux.spawn

$ uv run --project cli python -m pytest cli/tests/test_harness_config_scaffold_integration.py -k before_the_harness -v --no-header
cli/tests/test_harness_config_scaffold_integration.py::test_the_repository_is_adopted_before_the_harness_is_started PASSED [100%]

======================= 1 passed, 9 deselected in 0.12s ========================

The same test, with the pre-spawn call removed

A test of an ordering has to fail when the ordering is wrong, so the fix was reverted in place and the test re-run before being kept:

FAILED tests/test_harness_config_scaffold_integration.py::test_the_repository_is_adopted_before_the_harness_is_started
AssertionError: the harness was started in a checkout with no harness config —
adoption must precede tmux.spawn, not follow it (issue-201)
assert False is True
  where False = SpawnObserver.config_present_at_spawn

T2 — the dispatcher call sequence
