# `scripts/booth` went from zero tests to five

_2026-09-22 · booth_

**`scripts/booth` had zero tests and now has five**
(`tests/test_cli.py`). The panel's guard-strength tables returned UNVERIFIED
for every CLI claim because nothing in the suite executed the script — two of
the round's findings lived in exactly that gap. The new tests run the real
script under the system `python3`, which makes them a live check on INV-1
(stdlib-only) as a side effect: a third-party import in `marks.py` now fails
in the suite the same way it would fail on a fleet host.
