Phase 1.0BX: changed-files timeout and read-only fixture gate

Status: BW_CONSUMED_CHANGED_FILES_TIMEOUT_WINDOWS_GIT_STAGE_FIXTURE_ALLOWED

Date: 2026-07-30

The single BW attempt completed both source checks, detached stage creation and both patch check/apply pairs. It then timed out in WSL Git verify_changed_files after ten seconds. The process group was terminated. The stage exists; the build directory and archive do not. CMake and the SDL build were not invoked.

BX permits one exact read-only Windows Git diff --name-only fixture against the existing stage. It permits no cleanup, output reuse, patching, CMake, build, retry or device action.
