Audit of every /wiki/POST "Summary of invocation patterns" bullet crossed with 5 target states (absent, at-tip, ahead, behind, diverged) against be/test/. 5 parallel workers read every relevant run.sh. Verdicts: 14 cells covered, 30 uncovered, 0 MISMATCH (no test asserts an outcome contradicting the spec). Two spec-code gaps surfaced (bare remote-track post, ssh://host#msg).
Only 4 call sites in all of be/test/ run a truly bare jab post; most states are pinned via explicit ?branch///X/ssh:// slots or not at all. Happy-path FF cells are green, the refusal ladders are mostly unasserted.
//X/branch arms, a schemed track row falls into advanceBranch.ssh://host#msg commit-then-push is unimplemented — parseSlots drops a host-slot fragment, a ?-less ssh://host#msg dies POSTNOREF.
Cover every cell below with a minimal repro-first test in be/test/ (post/, sub/, wire/ house style); the two spec-code gaps need an implementation ruling first.
No test edits beyond adding the missing cells; POST-025 owns the wire verdict recode — crosslink, do not duplicate its cells here.
Cells 1b-i/ii/iii/v and 4-i/ii/iii/v share advanceWorktree — one suite parameterised over bare-track vs explicit //X entry covers both rows.
