Research direction

Locate the workflow containing the Base Registry Engine tutorial from source job and inspect the Verify retained example recovery after process exit step. Run rg native_create_and_apply and the referenced cargo test command to identify whether a replacement test exists. Done means the step targets a real test or is removed, and zero-test filters cause the job to fail rather than pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

agent-ready area:breg bug criticality:p3 triage:needs-implementation

The Verify retained example recovery after process exit step in the Base Registry Engine tutorial from source job runs:

cargo test --locked -p registry-bregctl --lib \
  dev::examples::tests::native_create_and_apply_recover_after_process_exit_without_duplicate_revisions \
  -- --ignored --exact

That test no longer exists anywhere in the tree (rg native_create_and_apply finds only the workflow). With --exact the filter matches nothing, so the step reports 0 passed; ... 415 filtered out and succeeds. This is true on main (for example run 36021883150, job 107709175818) as well as on PR branches.

The step therefore gives no assurance and costs one extra registry-bregctl lib test compile per run (about 13 s).

To decide: either point the step at the test that now covers "native create and apply recover after process exit without duplicate revisions", if one was renamed or moved, or delete the step. Either way, a step that names a single test should fail when the filter matches zero tests, for example by checking the running N tests count.
