Two hand-remedy lines for hw-cargo in hw-run-policy may not earn their cost on every dispatch
Context
The build of #849 (PR #1062) in run 20260924-0411 asked whether two lines of .claude/skills/hw-run-policy/SKILL.md still earn their cost. Every build-order stage loads that skill, so each line costs every dispatch. The product owner ruled the finding Record.
Obligation
The skill carries two hand remedies for tools/hw-cargo: the slot probe with flock -n and the workaround for a wait on slot 1 alone. The line itself says to delete it when tools/hw-cargo is fixed. #1047 and the link suite of #849 may have fixed it.
The same build found a reusable test method. A suite finds its script through $(dirname "$0")/.., so a mutant script in a scratch tools/ directory shows that a fixture goes red without a broken commit.
Discharge
This record discharges when a measurement on main shows whether tools/hw-cargo still needs each remedy, and each line that tools/hw-cargo does not need leaves the skill.
