jakman85andClaude Opus 5 b389566641 fix(conformance): L1 rendering never ran on a requirement-scoped gate
All three L1 tests now declare `conformance.home.k3s/scope: "whole-repo"`.

ci/l1.sh has passed --include-scope whole-repo since it was written, with a
comment saying no L1 test declared the scope yet and it was wired ahead of time
so the next whole-repo invariant "at any layer" would be picked up by annotation
alone. Nothing ever declared it. The consequence is that the entire L1 rendering
layer only ran when a touched path happened to attribute R-PLAT-02, R-NET-01 or
R-NET-05/06/07 — a fail-open hole for every other change in the repo.

The coupling requirement-scoped selection cannot see is that all three tests
exercise ONE code path: catalog/render.py against
schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json. Anything that changes rendered output
invalidates these goldens no matter which requirement the touched path maps to.

The 2026-09-04 external-dns merge is the proof, measured rather than asserted.
ci/touched-requirements.sh attributes platform/externaldns/helmrelease.yaml to
R-ENV-02, R-OBS-01/02/04, R-STATE-03 and R-TEST-01/02/03/04 — none of the
rendering requirements — yet that change added

    external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller: none

to the rendered output of all three goldens. Via --print-selection:

  requirement-scoped only (the 2026-09-04 behaviour):  0 L1 tests selected
  with --include-scope whole-repo (how ci/l1.sh runs): 3 L1 tests selected

So the merge gated GREEN while leaving every rendering golden stale, and the
staleness surfaced only on a later full run.

Also corrects the now-false comment in ci/l1.sh that said no L1 test declares the
scope, and records why the annotation is load-bearing there.

Verified: offline l0,l1,meta --include-scope whole-repo in the pinned toolbox —
25 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors, exit 0.

# =============================================================================
# L1 RENDERING SCAFFOLD — every namespace renders a default-deny baseline
# (R-NET-01)
# Catalog: docs/14 L0/L1 "Every namespace has a default-deny baseline"
#
# GIVEN any onboarded service (any namespace),
# WHEN its resources are rendered,
# THEN the render includes the namespaced default-deny baseline policy.
#
# This is the RENDER-TIME partner of the L2 behavioral default-deny test and of
# the L0 Kyverno gate (T-0.5). Rendering the baseline is necessary but NOT
# sufficient — enforcement is proven behaviorally at L2 (R-TEST-01).
#
# STATUS: IMPLEMENTED (T-0.3). render-check.sh renders a service and asserts the
# namespaced default-deny baseline is present + shaped (deny-all, both directions) —
# a pure offline check (renderer + golden diff, no cluster). conformance/run.sh --layer
# l1 and ci/l1.sh run it directly; this Chainsaw Test wraps the SAME script so an
# in-cluster run executes the identical assertion. Rendering != enforcement (proven L2).

# WHY SCOPE, NOT REQUIREMENTS ALONE: every L1 test exercises ONE shared code path —
