Copilot was right that the previous test proved only that `removeSafe` can
delete a directory — it never drove `stop()`, so deleting the cleanup call
would have left the unit suite AND all three smokes green. That is exactly the
regression these tests exist to catch, and they did not catch it.
Extract the teardown into an exported `teardownWebServer({ child, catalogDir,
label })`, which `stop()` now delegates to, and drive it against a stand-in
child process (a real `node -e setInterval` that stays alive until signalled)
rather than a mock. Three cases:
- it removes the catalog dir it was given (asserted on the dir itself, not a
spy, so the assertion cannot drift from the behavior);
- it awaits the child's exit before removing — the #1801 race in one
assertion, since losing the await is otherwise invisible;
- an already-dead child is not an error, which is the failure path a smoke
takes when it calls fail() after the launcher has crashed.
Mutation-checked: with the `removeSafe` call deleted, 2 of the 3 now fail
(previously: 0). AGENTS.md updated to match.
Signed-off-by is now on every commit (#1978 DCO); the requirement itself is
undocumented and tracked in #1979.
