Summary

  • Adds five write-capable MCP tools gated behind --write: create_lead, dismiss_lead, apply_record, cv_run, cv_signoff — the operations an agent actually performs every session, built on Sluice.create_lead()/Sluice.dismiss_lead() and the existing apply/cv write paths.
  • Adds an isolation sweep hardening the write-tool surface, a shared UNTRUSTED_DERIVED_CONTENT_WARNING/out_of_scope_verdict for content agents shouldn't blindly trust, and frontmatter-injection guards on vault/apply writes (_render_new, ats, record()).
  • Fixes a genuine pre-existing TOCTOU race in Vault._cas_write by serializing per-path via threading.Lock, reachable now that mcp serve dispatches sync tool calls to separate AnyIO worker threads within one process.
  • Widens Store.upsert to return UpsertResult(outcome, slug) (breaking change to the write contract, ~157 call/assertion sites across 13 test files) so create_lead reads back which note it actually wrote instead of guessing via location/url heuristics after the fact — three narrower guess-after-the-fact strategies were tried and each was shown wrong by review before landing on this fix.
  • Widens sign_off_cv into a SignOffResult with a require_pending/staleness CAS guard.
  • Documents the five tools and the --write flag in docs/USAGE.md.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The change adds five opt-in MCP write tools, a leads dismiss CLI command, structured store results, CAS freshness checks, input sanitisation, per-path write locking, and validation for safety, dispatch, and concurrency.

Write operations and storage contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Storage result and concurrency contracts
sluice/core/protocols.py, sluice/core/vault.py, sluice/ingest/sink.py
UpsertResult reports outcomes and resolved slugs. Sign-off uses fresh pending-CV checks. Vault rendering sanitises fields and serialises same-path CAS writes.
Sluice write methods and safety guards
sluice/core/app.py, sluice/core/leads.py, sluice/apply/record.py, sluice/apply/select.py
Sluice adds structured dismissal, sign-off, and lead-creation results. Application recording rejects stale status changes and reports dropped ATS values. URL eligibility requires an HTTP URL.
MCP registration and CLI entry points
sluice/mcpserver.py, sluice/cli.py
Write tools register only with --write. The CLI adds lead dismissal and reports structured stale, refusal, conflict, and sanitisation outcomes.
Validation and regression coverage
tests/conformance/*, tests/functional/*, tests/test_mcpserver.py, tests/test_leads_*.py, tests/test_apply_record*.py, tests/test_vault*.py
Tests cover tool schemas, dispatch, CAS freshness, dismissal idempotency, lead creation, sanitised writes, URL validation, structured results, and concurrent operations.
Operational documentation and design records
README.md, docs/USAGE.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/superpowers/specs/*, .rulesync/rules/CLAUDE.md
Documentation describes the dismissal command, gated MCP writes, tool routing, and delivered design scope.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ae4b4

The new write-capable workflows can still save malformed URLs and produce lead notes whose body disagrees with sanitized metadata, while some rejection paths provide misleading or brittle diagnostics. These are bounded but concrete correctness risks in newly enabled writes, so the PR should not merge without fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

1939-1986: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The sanitised values are used for the frontmatter only. The body still interpolates the raw fields.

_safe_or_blank blanks location, salary and url for the frontmatter block, but lines 1981-1986 build the body from lead.location, lead.salary and lead.url directly. An unsafe value is therefore still written to disk verbatim, one block lower, and the note then shows a blank frontmatter field beside the raw value in the body. This is not a frontmatter-injection route (_split_frontmatter only reads the leading block), so the impact is a contradictory note rather than a forged key, but it does defeat the "blanked instead of written verbatim" statement in the comment above.

Reuse the already-computed safe values in the body.

Proposed fix
         body = (
             f"# {lead.company} - {lead.title}\n\n"
             f"**Status:** new\n"

238-252: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use hmac for the keyed token instead of a hand-rolled sha256(key + message).

The construction sha256(secret + message) is a home-made MAC. hmac is the standard library primitive for exactly this and removes the whole class of prefix/length-extension concerns from review scope. The change is one line and keeps the token format (hex digest) identical.

Pair it with hmac.compare_digest at the comparison site (line 345), so token validation does not leak byte-position information through timing. The transport is local stdio, so this is hardening rather than an active exploit.

Proposed change
+import hmac
...
-    canonical = json.dumps([slug, pending, claims], sort_keys=True)
-    return hashlib.sha256(_CONFIRM_TOKEN_SECRET + canonical.encode("utf-8")).hexdigest()
+    canonical = json.dumps([slug, pending, claims], sort_keys=True)
+    return hmac.new(_CONFIRM_TOKEN_SECRET, canonical.encode("utf-8"),
+                    hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()

At line 345:

-        return confirm_token == _confirm_token(slug, pending, claims)
+        return hmac.compare_digest(confirm_token, _confirm_token(slug, pending, claims))

Note: tests/test_mcpserver.py's test_confirm_token_is_keyed_and_not_forgeable_from_a_bare_sha256 still passes, since it only asserts the forged unkeyed digest differs from the real token.

116-149: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider synthetic location tokens rather than real city names.

"London", "New York", "Berlin", and "Paris" are real places. The test only needs token-disjoint, non-remote strings so that Vault._reconcile returns "advance". Synthetic tokens (for example "Alpha City", "Beta Town") carry the same behaviour and keep the fixture family consistent with the rest of the suite, which uses a shared LOCATIONS constant in tests/conformance/test_store_contract.py.

Based on learnings, in the test suite fixture data and test witnesses should use purely synthetic names/placeholders, and illustrative place names intended for docstrings in sluice/ do not carry over to tests. As per path instructions, "Tests use synthetic fixtures only."

Expected-exception tests use try/except with assert False in both files. The shared root cause is one idiom: the expected ValueError is asserted by an assert False sentinel, which Python strips under -O, so the test can pass even when no exception is raised.

@coderabbitai addressing the outside-diff-range finding and the nitpicks from this review:

Outside diff — sluice/core/vault.py:1939-1986, _render_new's body interpolating raw fields. Confirmed and fixed in cd6e20b (fixup, squashed) — the body's **Location:**/**Salary:**/**URL:** line now uses the same sanitized location/salary/url locals as the frontmatter, instead of lead.location/lead.salary/lead.url directly. Added regression coverage in tests/test_vault_render_safety.py for all three fields, and mutation-verified it (reverted the fix, confirmed the new assertions go red, restored it).

Nitpick — sluice/mcpserver.py:238-252, hand-rolled MAC. Applied in 3d33448 (fixup, squashed). _confirm_token now uses hmac.new(...), and the comparison site uses hmac.compare_digest.

Nitpick — tests/test_leads_create.py:116-149, real city names. Applied in 0987d9f (fixup, squashed), and swept to the other two tests in the same file that shared the identical pattern (not just the one you named) — all now use the suite's own LOCATIONS fixture from tests/conftest.py, plus one extra synthetic token ("Delta") for the one test that needs a 4th distinct location.

Nitpick — assert False sentinel pattern. Applied in 0987d9f and 4351df3 (fixups, squashed) — all try/except ValueError: assert False blocks in tests/test_leads_create.py and tests/test_leads_dismiss.py now use pytest.raises(ValueError, match=...).

Full suite green (3145 passed, up from 3139 — the net new tests), ruff clean.

2304-2312: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Optional: state the non-reentrancy constraint in the docstring.

threading.Lock is not reentrant, and the lock is now held across the whole call. A transform that calls any Vault write method on the same path deadlocks the calling thread instead of raising. No shipped transform does this (all transforms in this module are pure text functions), so this is a constraint on future code, not a defect.

Lock is the correct choice here. An RLock would let a nested write pass its own freshness check inside an outer transaction and silently break the CAS invariant. So the fix is to name the rule, not to change the primitive.

Proposed docstring addition
     Serialized per-path via _lock_for (`#131`): held across the WHOLE call, not
     per-retry-attempt, so two IN-PROCESS threads can never both be inside the
     read-transform-recheck-write cycle for the same path at once -- see
     _lock_for's own docstring for why this is in-memory and per-path, and
-    what it does and does not protect against."""

Add the distinctness assertion the test name promises.

The test asserts full equality only. If someone made UNTRUSTED_DERIVED_CONTENT_WARNING identical to UNTRUSTED_SCRAPED_CONTENT_WARNING, this test and the other two would still pass, because the scraped test pins its own value and the tail test only checks a shared suffix. Add an explicit inequality so the "distinct subject clause" claim is actually witnessed.

@coderabbitai addressing the 3 nitpicks from this round:

sluice/core/vault.py:2304-2312 — non-reentrancy docstring. Applied verbatim (squashed into the _cas_write TOCTOU commit).

tests/test_mcpserver.py:871-878assert False sentinel. Applied, and swept the rest of the file: 3 more identical instances existed here that this round's own review didn't name (2 in list_leads tests predating #131, 1 already caught above) — all replaced with pytest.raises.

tests/test_core_leads_content_warning.py:23-26 — missing distinctness assertion. Applied verbatim.

Full suite green (3147 passed), ruff clean.

tests/test_leads_dismiss_cli.py (1)

34-43: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add CLI coverage for the ambiguous and refused_status branches.

The file docstring states that an app-level test alone cannot certify the command, because a mutant inside cmd_leads_dismiss keeps app-level tests green. Two branches of cmd_leads_dismiss still have no CLI test: ambiguous (sluice/cli.py lines 388-392) and refused_status (lines 398-401). The ambiguous message was corrected in an earlier review round, so its wording is exactly the kind of thing this file exists to pin.

The ambiguous fixture is a slug collision: write two notes at the same basename under Job Applications/Job Leads/Active and .../Archive, the pattern already used in tests/test_mcpserver.py. The refused_status fixture is a lead seeded at a status outside _DISMISSABLE_FROM, for example applied.

rc == 0 alone can't distinguish "genuinely took the unchanged branch" from
"silently no-oped some other way that also happens to return 0". Mirrors
tests/test_leads_dismiss.py's own app-layer version of this test: assert

second call's --reason text never landed on disk.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
… location

Follow-up to Important #1 (re-review, 2026-08-15): the location-only
narrowing was still reachable to a wrong slug. A THIRD create_lead call
reusing an EARLIER call's url (proving it the same posting, at a location
DIFFERENT from this call's own incoming location) got excluded by a bare
location comparison, leaving an unrelated note as the sole "candidate".

Swapping in a flat `same_opportunity(...) != DIFFERENT` filter over the whole
candidate set (the naive fix) was ALSO wrong, caught by running the exact
reproduction against it before committing: same_opportunity can independently
return SAME for an unrelated note whose OWN location merely happens to equal
this call's incoming location, manufacturing ambiguity the real
Vault.upsert walk never had -- that walk resolves candidate NAMES one at a
time and stops at the first non-advance match, so a url-proven match at the
bare candidate name is decisive and the walk never even reaches a
coincidentally-same-location note.

Real fix: a two-tier priority mirroring same_opportunity's own internal
order -- url proof checked across the whole candidate set FIRST (definitive,
via the same _norm_url normalization same_opportunity uses), only falling
back to same_opportunity's location comparison when no note is url-proven.
Also: fixed create_lead's docstring (an earlier paragraph still claimed the
old "collide onto ONE note" overclaim Important #3 had already corrected two
paragraphs below it), reworded the "only refused/merged_away/
merged_away_unproven have no slug" claim (any outcome can now return a blank
slug on ambiguity), and added a one-sentence contract note to mcpserver.py's
tool docstring and USAGE.md that slug may be absent on any outcome.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
…lead's guessing

Sluice.create_lead() has repeatedly failed to correctly guess which note
Vault.upsert() actually wrote to -- three separate guessing strategies (location-only,
a flat same_opportunity filter, a two-tier url-then-location priority) each returned a
real but WRONG note's slug in some reachable scenario, caught only by systematic
testing each time. The root cause: Vault.upsert() already resolves the exact note it
writes to internally but discarded that information, forcing every caller to
reconstruct it after the fact from a finished, unordered read_leads() snapshot -- which
cannot always tell which note a given write actually touched, because the store's own
resolution walks candidate names in order and stops at the first non-advance verdict.

Fixes it at the root: upsert now returns UpsertResult(outcome, slug), reporting the
note it actually touched. create_lead just reads result.slug -- no guessing, no
imports of same_opportunity/_norm_url/DIFFERENT, correct by construction. Every
Store.upsert call site across the vault, sink, and ~130 test assertions updated to the
new outcome.slug shape; two conformance tests added to prove the new field's contract
directly (including the exact scenario that broke every prior guess). Also fixed two
fake Store/Vault test doubles (test_sink.py, test_app_injection.py) that returned bare
outcome strings, found only by running the full suite rather than by grepping call
sites.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
 round 2)

Three Important findings, one pattern: the new tests' own docstrings claimed
something they didn't actually check.

- The conformance test's "ground truth on disk" claim was false -- it asserted
  fm.get("url"), a field update/merge never write. Verified by stubbing the disk
  write to a no-op: the old test still passed. Fixed by seeding distinct last_seen
  stamps and asserting the field update/merge actually DO write; re-verified the
  same stub now fails it.
- The one genuinely new conditional this task adds to Vault.upsert (the slug-blanking
  guard on a late CAS-conflict refusal) had zero coverage. Added assertions to the
  two existing tests that already exercise the path; mutation-verified by deleting
  the guard and confirming both tests catch it.
- Neither new test distinguished the real fix from the two-tier url-then-location
  strategy it replaces (bb74dd4) -- that strategy happens to get the original
  reproduction right too. Reimplemented bb74dd4's actual logic, found a scenario
  where it's provably wrong (swap which note the url vs. location matches), and
  added it as a sibling test at both the Store.upsert and create_lead layers.

Plus a self-contradictory docstring in protocols.py (claimed merged_away* both does
and doesn't carry a slug) and restored never-clobber coverage a deleted test had
that its replacement dropped.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
… contract

Three small, explicitly non-blocking polish items from #131 round-3 review:

- The conformance-suite distinguishing test hardcoded which of two notes must
  win (third.slug == first.slug), pinning vault's specific bare-candidate-first
  walk order rather than Store.upsert's actual contract, which only requires the
  reported slug match whichever note the write genuinely touched. Generalized to
  discover the touched note from disk (via last_seen) and assert against that,
  with no note identity hardcoded. Verified the generalized assertion still fails
  on the two-tier strategy's real wrong answer. The test_leads_create.py facade
  twin keeps its hardcoded expectation deliberately -- that one's job is to pin
  vault's specific policy, not the store-agnostic one.
- UpsertResult's docstring overclaimed that a slug-carrying outcome always means
  a note was "put there or bumped" -- not true for "updated" when the incoming
  last_seen is no newer than what's stored (monotonic, so no write happens).
  Reworded to "put there or resolved to."
- Smoothed an awkward never-clobber comment in test_leads_create.py.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
…leads tests

Round-2 review finding: the assert-False-in-except pattern is stripped under
python -O, so these two tests could pass even if list_leads stopped raising.
Pre-existing #105-era code, not something #131 introduced -- matches the
sweep already done for #131's own new tests in this same file.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
…Delta" literal

Round-2 review finding: "Delta" is a real place (river deltas) and brand name
(Delta Air Lines) -- exactly what the LOCATIONS fixture exists to avoid.
test_leads_create.py's fourth-call test now reads LOCATIONS[3] instead of a
literal, and conftest.py's shared fixture grows a fourth token-disjoint
NATO-phonetic entry ("Foxtrot") to serve it.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
…ueError

CodeRabbit round 4: the design doc's Error Handling section already
promised cv_run's bad backend raises ValueError like every other
malformed-input field, but the code let Sluice.backend's BackendError
leak through untranslated, and nothing tested either behavior.
compose_cv now catches BackendError and re-raises ValueError -- at the
Sluice layer, mirroring dismiss_lead's own reason validation, since
mcpserver.py's isolation sweep forbids importing BackendError directly.
Adds direct-call coverage (bad backend, every valid choice) and an SDK
contract test proving the translation degrades to a proper is_error
result through the real dispatch.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
…uity test

CodeRabbit round 4: test_none_when_two_or_more_matches_fall_outside_accepted
asserted only `is None`, which a broken matcher finding ZERO matches would
satisfy just as vacuously as the intended two-match case. Pins the match
count so the test can only pass for the ambiguity arm it claims to cover.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
…tus branches

CodeRabbit round 4 nitpick: cmd_leads_dismiss's ambiguous and
refused_status branches had zero CLI-layer coverage, the exact gap this
file's docstring says an app-level test alone cannot close. Adds a
slug-collision fixture for ambiguous (mirroring test_mcpserver.py's
cv_run equivalent) and a CAS-race fixture for refused_status (mirroring
test_leads_dismiss.py's app-layer proof), both asserting the CLI's own
printed output.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
…ple"

main's fixture-name neutrality guard (test_fixture_name_neutrality.py,
added there after this branch forked) flags any lead-identity value not
on its reviewed roster. This branch's own test_eligibility_reasons used
a bare "E" as one of five single-letter placeholder companies -- the
same synthetic class as its already-reviewed A/B/C/D siblings, just
never reviewed because this branch predates the guard. Renamed to the
roster's own bare "Example" entry rather than adding a new one.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
CodeRabbit round 5: docs/USAGE.md named the leads-dismiss/dedupe distinction
by "whose judgement the write encodes", flagged for clarity -- reworded to
name the operation and the user verdict directly. Same file's cv_run entry
said the composed text is "never returned in the response"; changed to
"never included" per the reviewer's wording. README.md's trust-boundary
paragraph used "install" as a noun; corrected to "installation". The design
doc's architecture-diagram fence gained a `text` language tag so markdownlint
MD040 passes without touching the diagram content.

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
CodeRabbit round 5:
- tests/test_vault_render_safety.py used "Remote, UK" and an https://x/ URL as
  fixture values; replaced with "Example Remote" and example.invalid per the
  repo's synthetic-fixture convention, preserving the embedded quote the
  injection test needs.
- tests/test_vault.py's two embedded-newline refusal tests asserted only
  `outcome == "refused"` plus an untouched tree, which also holds for the
  blank-identity gate one line below the printable check in upsert -- a
  future change letting that gate reject these same inputs would keep the
  tests green with the printable gate itself deleted. Now asserts the
  discriminating "contains a control character" warning, following the exact
  caplog pattern already used by this file's other upsert-refusal tests.
- tests/test_mcpserver.py's _STORE_WRITE_METHODS was a hand-listed literal
  whose comment already claimed it was "read directly off that Protocol" --
  it wasn't. Derived it from vars(Store) minus the four read methods, so a
  future write method added to Store can't silently miss the isolation
  sweep with no test failure to say so.

…ne drift

main's tests/test_frontmatter_write_sweep.py (added after this branch forked)
pins _set_fm's exact line number to catch a sibling setter appearing. This
branch's own #131 additions to core/vault.py shift every line below them with
zero change to whether a sibling setter exists, so the pinned assertion fails
on this branch's merge with main for a reason the test was never designed to
catch. Asserts on SCOPE instead (exactly one setter, in core/vault.py) --
everything else in the file is unchanged from main's version. This is a new
file relative to this branch's fork point, so it will need reconciling against
main's own copy at actual-merge time; this version is the one to keep.

…e-value check

CodeRabbit round 6 (outside-diff findings, PR approved despite them per the
no-follow-ups rule -- folded in before merge):
- docs/USAGE.md's track-run output fence (line 162) was missing a language
  identifier, same MD040 fix as the earlier architecture-diagram one.
- tests/test_frontmatter_write_sweep.py's own vacuity risk: `"safe" in line`
  also matches inside "unsafe"/"unsafe_value", which would silently exempt
  exactly the unguarded-write shape this sweep exists to catch. Replaced with
  a word-boundary pattern matching only `safe` or `safe_...` identifiers, and
  added a witness test pinning both directions (unsafe rejected, safe still
  exempted) plus a manual before/after check confirming the old check really
  did exempt "unsafe_value".

Local /review-pr (sluice-architect): .rulesync/rules/CLAUDE.md's canonical
"leads passes report by default" rule enumerated only dedupe/expire/reconcile
and never stated the leads dismiss exception, and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md never
mentioned leads dismiss at all -- both silently out of sync with
docs/USAGE.md, which already documents it correctly. Adds a one-sentence
exception to the canonical rule and a short paragraph to ARCHITECTURE.md
next to the closely-related leads-expire mechanics (same CAS guards,
same require_status/require_blank shape).

…ools

Local /review-pr (sluice-test-engineer, mutation-verified):
- dismiss_lead's `except VaultConflict -> outcome="conflict"` had zero test
  coverage at any layer (app, CLI, MCP tool) -- deleting the whole try/except
  left the full suite green. Added mutation-verified tests at all three
  layers (tests/test_leads_dismiss.py, tests/test_leads_dismiss_cli.py,
  tests/test_mcpserver.py).
- apply_record's MCP-tool passthrough of record()'s `conflict`/`raced`
  outcomes was never exercised -- replacing the real reason with a fixed
  wrong string also left the suite green. Added mutation-verified tests for
  both outcomes, mirroring test_apply_record_cli.py's existing raced-fixture
  technique.
- Swept the identical gap shape in cv_signoff (test-engineer flagged it as
  likely but unconfirmed): its own `conflict` outcome had zero MCP-tool-layer
  coverage either, despite being tested at the CLI layer already
  (test_cv.py::test_cv_signoff_conflict_returns_1). Added a matching test,
  mutation-verified.

CodeRabbit CLI pass: the strict outcomes == ["dismissed", "unchanged"]
assertion could flake under genuine race timing -- "conflict" is also a
legitimate outcome of real overlap (Sluice.dismiss_lead maps a sustained
VaultConflict to it). This test's own docstring already disclaims being the
race-safety proof (that's the 50-round Barrier test elsewhere); it only
claims both SDK calls reached dismiss_lead and exactly one wrote, which the
widened assertion still pins exactly.

… scope

CodeRabbit cloud review: sign_off_cv resolves over ALL TRIAGE_OWNED statuses
(a held lead can legitimately leave shortlist -- triage may re-judge it to
research/needs_review/dismiss), not shortlist alone. The CLI's not_found
message said "no shortlist lead matching", which is factually wrong and
could mislead a user into thinking a real hold outside shortlist doesn't
exist. Updated the message and its pinned test.

…s MUST

CodeRabbit cloud review: Store.upsert's own contract (core/protocols.py)
states "refused"/"merged_away"/"merged_away_unproven" are MAY-return -- a
synthetic-id-keyed store never merges-on-uncertainty or hits a naming
collision, and a store with no archive concept never returns either
merged_away variant. The new slug-blank conformance test asserted these as
required outcomes, which would wrongly fail a conformant second store that
simply never reaches those branches. Gated each assertion on the outcome
actually produced; verified both conditionals still fire for real against
the current Vault store (not vacuous for the one store that exists today).

CodeRabbit cloud review: the comment explaining why "Delta" is excluded from
LOCATIONS named "Delta Air Lines" specifically. This repo is public and no
real company name belongs in sluice/ or tests/, even inside prose explaining
a fixture choice. Reworded to keep the same rationale (a real geographic
term and a real airline brand) without naming the airline.

…st its value

CodeRabbit cloud review: schema_props.get("confirm_token", {}).get("default")
is None passes identically whether the "default" key is present with value
None (the intended assertion) or absent entirely -- a dropped default in a
future schema-generation change would slip past this test silently. Split
into a key-presence assertion followed by the value check.

CodeRabbit cloud review: "greenhouse" is a real, well-known ATS product, not
a module basename under sluice/ingest/sources/ or otherwise established as a
neutral placeholder in this repo. Replaced with "example-ats" in the three
new tests/test_apply_record.py cases and the one new
tests/test_apply_record_cli.py case this PR added; pre-existing uses
elsewhere in test_apply_record.py are untouched (out of this PR's diff).

MrReasonable <4990954+MrReasonable@users.noreply.github.com>
…test

CodeRabbit cloud review: the same vacuity shape the previous round already
fixed for the two-or-more-matches test. test_none_when_no_note_falls_
outside_accepted_and_matches asserted only the None verdict, which also
holds for the zero-match arm -- a broken slug_matches would make this test
silently cover the wrong branch. Added a witness that the matcher actually
matches, mirroring the sibling fix's discipline.
