What Problem This Solves

Owner-purge tests could report success when assertion queries failed and left zero counts or equal empty evidence strings.

User Impact

Test-only change. Purge behavior and archived data handling are unchanged.

Why This Change Was Made

Check all 20 previously ignored assertion-query results before comparing values. Preserve every fixture, SQL literal, mutation and expected value, including the outer purge errors used by refusal tests. Record the repair in the test cleanup ledger.

Evidence

• Fourteen race-enabled Go overlay runs: baseline and fixed healthy suites each pass all 24 parent/subtest cases. Five broken-read scenarios pass before the repair and fail on SQL errors afterward; a positive-count control fails in both versions.
• Verified that unwinding the 20 error guards reproduces the original test file byte for byte.
• Module tidiness, formatting, vet, vulnerability scan and deadcode checks pass.
• Independent P0–P3 review: scoped-clean.
• Platform CI is required before landing. All local SQLite archives and overlays are disposable test fixtures. No releases.
