Summary

• Root cause. walkReportClosure (tools/vibe-workers/src/main-sync-report-closure.ts:59 on main) matched every committed reader's path references against reportOutputs. symphony-alpha's packages/control/src/vibe-shots/pixel-core/compare.mjs (#9744) reads back its own cache as readFileSync(join(outDir, RESULTS_FILE)), where outDir is the caller's parameter. The parser records that as {value: "/results.json", unknownPrefix: true}, and pathPossibility turns it into */results.json. That pattern matches apps/desktop/playwright-report-e2e/results.json, so line 61 threw. This happened whenever pnpm typecheck:affected selected @repo/control#typecheck, which made every build-purpose main-sync refuse.
• Fix: narrow the match. No output-only admission is added. compare.mjs never names a retained report location: its directory is unbound and its only known piece is the generic file name. New inputUnlocatedFileName in main-sync-input-references.ts (the owner of the unknown-path encoding) recognizes a path reference whose value and uncertain terms have no known directory segment. The closure walk returns early for such a reference. A fully unbound path was already no match, and this treats an unbound directory plus a bare file name the same way.
• What is still refused. A reader that names the report's full path, a literal or argv/cwd-bound path, or the report's directory under an unbound root (join(root, "playwright-report-e2e", "results.json")). symphony-alpha's real consumers (scripts/ci/desktop-e2e-attribution.ts, apps/desktop/test/e2e/helpers/desktop-e2e-coverage-finalize.ts) name the full path, so they stay refused.
• vibe 1.1.81. The committed dist/main-sync.mjs is rebuilt. The plugin manifests, the README line and the pin tests are bumped. vibe-core is unchanged.
• Changed source lines: main-sync-report-closure.ts line 8 (import) and new lines 53 and 54 (early return); main-sync-input-references.ts lines 735 to 745 (new function at the bottom). These auto-merge with ISS-13446's branch; only the version lines conflict.

Breaking changes

None. The change is internal to the vibe-workers closure check.

Test plan

• main-sync-report-closure.test.ts (14 pass): a new case reproduces the compare.mjs shape with a retained apps/desktop/playwright-report-e2e/results.json present and passes. Another new case, a reader naming playwright-report-e2e under an unbound root, is still refused. The existing literal, argv and cwd retained-reader refusals still pass.
• Mutation checks. Removing the early return fails the compare.mjs case. Making the helper admit every uncertain path fails the refusal case.
• main-sync-input-references.test.ts (184 pass) and tsc --noEmit are clean. The Python pin tests (22 and 8) and vibe-bench reply-checker.test.ts (4) pass.
• The dist rebuilt twice is byte-identical.
• Run on symphony-alpha origin/main 3d41b1c604: verifyReportExecution(fixed-check, pnpm typecheck:affected, tasks [@repo/control#typecheck]) REFUSED with the ISS-14015 message on unfixed code and PASSES with this change. The closure over compare.mjs and over all of packages/control passes too.
• Not run locally: the full vitest suite and a real main-sync-validate in a vibe session. CI runs the full suite.
