drop the unused mocktail dep; amend D-25 (T-385)

mocktail was pinned and documented as the IO-mocking strategy, but
after the T-91 coverage drive it had zero imports — every IO seam
ended up with an injected hand-rolled fake instead. D-25 is amended
to record that the hand-rolled-fakes rule covers IO seams too;
licenses.yaml and the lockfile follow. The ptyc binary removal noted
in this sweep landed with the git-API commit (it was already staged).

### D-10: State management — `ChangeNotifier` + `ListenableBuilder`
- **Date:** 2026-04-21
- **Decision:** Per-feature state uses `ChangeNotifier` exposed through a feature facade (singleton-per-kernel); widgets subscribe via `ListenableBuilder`. No Riverpod, Provider, BLoC, or Redux.
- **Rationale:** SDK-shipped, zero deps, trivial to fake in tests (hand-rolled fakes in [D-25](testing.md#d-25-mocks--mocktail-at-io-hand-rolled-fakes-for-changenotifiers)). Violates [D-31 prefer-zero-deps](tooling.md#d-31-prefer-zero-deps-exact-pin) otherwise. See [R-8](../rejected/architecture.md#r-8-riverpod--provider--bloc-for-state).

- **Cost:** No codegen ergonomics; manual `notifyListeners()` discipline. The `ListenableBuilder.listenable` contract rejects rebuilds outside the subscribed notifier — intentional.
- **Raised by:** 2026-04-21 planning.

### D-25: Mocks — mocktail at IO, hand-rolled fakes for ChangeNotifiers
- **Date:** 2026-04-21
- **Decision:** `mocktail 1.0.4` mocks IO boundaries (sockets, processes, `dart:io` File/Directory). `ChangeNotifier` facades get hand-rolled fakes — tiny classes that extend `ChangeNotifier` with test-controlled setters. No `mocktail` for notifiers.
- **Rationale:** Mocking a `ChangeNotifier` with a generated mock hides subscription bugs — `notifyListeners` becomes a mock call instead of actually firing. Hand-rolled fakes exercise the real subscription machinery.
### D-25: Mocks — hand-rolled fakes throughout; mocktail dropped
- **Date:** 2026-04-21 (amended 2026-06-12)
- **Decision:** Test doubles are hand-rolled fakes — tiny classes that extend the real base (`ChangeNotifier` facades, `StreamJsonProcess`, `DaemonClient`) with test-controlled setters. **Amendment (2026-06-12, T-385):** `mocktail` was originally pinned for IO boundaries, but after the T-91 coverage drive it had zero imports — every IO seam ended up with an injected hand-rolled fake (`FakeDaemonClient`, fake process factories, recording event sinks) instead. The unused dep is dropped; the no-mocks-for-notifiers rule stands and in practice covers IO seams too.
- **Rationale:** Mocking a `ChangeNotifier` with a generated mock hides subscription bugs — `notifyListeners` becomes a mock call instead of actually firing. Hand-rolled fakes exercise the real subscription machinery. The same held at IO seams: constructor-injected fakes kept tests on real control flow.
- **Cost:** Roughly 20 lines per fake. Rounds out to less code than configuring a mocktail whenCall chain.
- **Raised by:** 2026-04-21 planning.
