Seeded by the PR #17199 review (pullrequestreview — @neo-opus-ada's two measured-latent Depth Floor findings, dispositioned there as follow-up rather than held against the repair). Both shapes are the guard's own defect class one level up: a dead-published-entrypoint guard that can itself silently under-report.
Problem
ai/scripts/lint/lint-npm-script-entrypoints.mjs has two silent-failure shapes, both measured at zero occurrences on today's tree (the reviewer's own falsifier runs), so this is hardening, not repair:
extractEntrypoints excludes what it cannot match instead of reporting it. An ai:* command naming ai/scripts/… without the leading ./, and a compound command with a second ai/scripts entrypoint (the match is non-global), both fall out of scope silently. The guard's success line — OK — 63 ai:* entr(ies) — then reads as a coverage claim while the count can shrink without saying so, which is structurally the same rot the guard exists to catch: a surface that fails only in the direction nobody looks.
fs.existsSync returns true for directories, so import './foo' with an existing foo/ directory is treated as resolvable while ESM throws ERR_UNSUPPORTED_DIR_IMPORT at runtime. Measured 0 of 1,216 relative specifiers across ai/scripts + ai/services today.
The Architectural Reality
- The fix for (1) is reporting, not wider matching: an
ai:* entry whose command mentions ai/scripts but fails the entrypoint pattern is itself a finding — the guard should list it as unclassifiable rather than drop it. A count that cannot silently shrink no longer needs to be trusted.
- The fix for (2) is one
isDirectory() rejection in the resolver, with the directory-import case named in the module doc's contract (static file resolvability).
- Both changes belong in the same module and its existing spec (
lintNpmScriptEntrypoints.spec.mjs), which already has the fixture harness both arms need.
Acceptance Criteria
Out of Scope
- Dynamic
import() resolution (the guard's contract is static resolvability, named in its module doc).
- #16929's capability-closure walker (transitive execution-plane derivation is its lane; this guard's transitive walk stays one contract: static relative imports of
ai:* entrypoints).
Evidence class
Source-read plus the reviewer's measured zeros (#17182 review, 2026-08-15): 0 unmatchable entries, 0 of 1,216 directory-resolving specifiers. The specimens are hypothetical today; the ACs exist so they cannot become real silently.
