specs/testing-devops.md lists "no canonical full-suite known-failing/flaky ledger" as a gap. Without one a first local run is uninterpretable: you cannot tell a regression from a platform artifact, so you either chase a non-bug or ignore a real one. Six failures on macOS against lab@c499c01b, each with its cause and a verdict rather than a blanket "environmental": - three compare an unresolved /tmp path against a resolved /private/tmp one. Those are test bugs and the file says so. - one asserts ffmpeg exit 0 for a .webp still, which is a build option Homebrew does not always carry. Needs a skip or a PNG fallback. - one opens real sockets and needs a fast connection refusal. Environmental. - one Playwright colour-contrast test had been written off as a flake. It is not: three consecutive runs failed identically at ~31s. Recorded as unexplained and possibly a real defect, because calling it noise is what stopped anyone looking. Also documents the prerequisites, since most surprise failures are a missing npm ci rather than anything here, and the CHROMADB_PORT precaution: the client reaches Chroma over HTTP regardless of the data directory, so a test run can attach to a store holding real data.
