Problem

In implementation 35 (ticket #632, session 082c3e8b-5598-4c69-9ea6-b717e9c8afb2, 2026-09-24) the refactorer's gate went red because the test-writer's file plugins/os-sdlc/tests/hook/pipe_in_process_test.rb stubs Open3.capture3 and OsSdlc::Pipeline::CLI.start with define_singleton_method (process-global) while tests/test_helper.rb runs parallelize_me!. A SystemExit raised inside a stub on one thread aborts the whole run. The runner routed refactorer fail to programmer-repair three times (dispatches 382, 383, 384). Each round diagnosed the same test defect, could not edit tests, and returned fail, until bound_exhausted escalated. The map has no edge from a post-green repair fail to test-writer or to a node allowed to edit tests. No rule lets a programmer declare "test defect" to short-circuit the loop. Related earlier gap: #665 (red test-file diff has no repair route).

Options: (a) a programmer handoff verdict test_defect routes to test-writer with the diagnosis; (b) test-writer's gate rejects define_singleton_method / global stubs in test files when parallelize_me! is on (a lint cop). Do not decide.

Observed

Handoffs 380, 381, 382 all say "This is a test-file concurrency defect. I am not permitted to edit tests. No production changes were made." Escalation payload reason bound_exhausted:programmer-repair/fail.

Reproduce

n/a: needs the dispatch records for implementation 35 in .sdlc/pipeline.db (dispatches 381-384).
