Defame1297 52bbd62286 test: stop the runners reporting green on suites that never ran
run_bats() was an if with no else, so a missing or non-executable run-bats.sh
made all 166 bats tests disappear with no diagnostic while the run printed a
green summary and exited 0. --bats-only became a total no-op. This is the same
defect the PR fixed one level down, left open in the dispatcher that pre-push
actually invokes -- and nothing tested run-tests.sh at all.

run-bats.sh's aggregation was asserted by nothing. Three separate mutations to
its failure-detection line all survived the existing suite, because real bats
emits both a nonzero exit and "not ok" lines, so each signal masked the other.
The new cases produce each signal without the other; all three mutants now die.

Also in this pass:
- zero discovered .bats files exited 0, so a widened path exclusion retired the
  suite silently. Replaced with a file-count floor: a collapse to one or two
  files is the same failure as a collapse to zero
- an existing-but-empty status file counted as a pass, because [[ "" -eq 0 ]]
  is arithmetic-true and the || echo 1 fallback only covered a missing file.
  The repro is deterministic: the stub truncates its own status file, then
  kill -9s its parent so the real exit-code write never happens

Adds tests/test-run-tests.sh, 9 cases pinning the exit 0 / 1 / 77 three-way
split against a single summary line.

# Regression test for tests/run-bats.sh's TAP-result accounting.
#
# run-bats.sh runs each .bats file in its own process and aggregates the TAP
# streams. It used to derive its test count from that text without ever asserting
# the count was non-zero, so a `bats` that produced no output and exited 0 was
# reported as "0 tests, 0 failures" with exit 0 -- a total harness failure
# rendered as a clean pass. The guard added for that distinguishes two causes,
# because `1..0` is itself valid TAP: no plan lines at all means bats emitted
# nothing to parse, while plans present with zero results means bats ran fine and
# the files genuinely declare no tests.
#
# Both branches were code-only and asserted by nothing, which is the same
# "green either way" hole the guard itself closes. This file covers them.
#
# It also covers the aggregation those counts feed, which the parallelization
# rewrite left unasserted: three separate mutations of the `if [[ "$file_not_ok"
# -gt 0 || "$status" != "0" ]]` line -- dropping either half, or deleting the
# whole branch -- all survived this file. They survived because every stub here
# exited 0 and emitted no `not ok`, so neither signal was ever exercised, and
# because real bats emits both at once each half masks the other. The cases
# below produce each signal *without* the other, so each mutation dies alone.
