Phase 1.0BK: bounded real-facade host-fixture gate

Status: EXACT_HOST_FIXTURES_AUTHORIZED_NO_MATERIALIZER

Date: 2026-07-29

Phase 1.0BJ installed and bound the exact host tools and added a dormant real process/filesystem facade. This gate permits one local WSL test suite against four exact Python fixtures: success, nonzero exit, output overflow and timeout. Each fixture may be started once. They have no filesystem, network, SDL, RetroArch or device operation. The timeout fixture exists solely to prove the process-group termination path.

This permission does not accept arbitrary commands and does not activate the eight materializer requests. It does not authorize an SDL build, a RetroArch target build, an artifact, a PS5 connection, transfer or execution. The suite result must be recorded separately before any materializer gate is considered.
