Instruction-file drift, filed for the maintenance lane. brainlayer/AGENTS.md:34-35 says:
"Run pytest before claiming behavior changed safely. Current suite size: 929 tests."
The gate ran 3,693 selected unit tests (plus a 40-test isolated gate, Bun, and an FTS5 shell regression). The instruction file is stale by ~4x — and it is the file every agent reads to decide whether a test run was complete. An agent trusting 929 would conclude a partial run was a full one.
Independently reproduced (line 9896): python3 -m pytest --collect-only -q → 3610 tests collected. 3.9x stale, in a file that passes shape validation today.
