+  commands run through a quiet runner (no logging; stderr discarded) and `problem` keeps the exit code only
+  (`TestAUB_AFailingCommandLeaksNoOutput`, red-proofed).

   `internal/crashboot` (`TestDecided_*`), `internal/notify/app_repaired_after_crash_test.go`,
   `internal/web/lost_files_note_test.go`, one new parity fixture (`app_info_lost_files`, the new card only).
