Vuong Hoang a48ef83ef5 feat(manifest): U5 — booths that say who posted them and why
The index card showed a name, an item count and a countdown, and nothing
the poster chose. An agent with something to show therefore had no way to
make the booth say "look at this" and posted a URL to the link board
instead — which is why 145 of that board's 210 rows (69%) ended up
pointing at booths that had already been swept. The board was absorbing a
job it was never shaped for. This is the shape.

Each booth carries `.booth.json` — {handle, title, why, created} — written
by the CLI from $ALTHING_HANDLE, and the provenance line renders on both
index lanes and on the booth page header.

WHAT IS WHERE

- booth/manifest.py, stdlib-only and importing nothing from booth.* either:
  scripts/booth imports it under the system python3 with no venv, and a
  cross-import between two stdlib-only modules is a second way for that
  invariant to break. It joins the shared test_stdlib_only list and keeps
  a stricter copy of its own.
- The read is lenient and cannot raise. list_booths touches every booth on
  every index load, so a manifest that cannot be parsed costs that booth's
  provenance and nothing else. That is the v0.2.2 lesson applied before the
  same mistake rather than after it.
- Absent and damaged render differently — `unannounced` and `unreadable`.
  Folding "cannot be read" into "never said" would hide the one case
  somebody has to go and fix.
- Re-announcing preserves `created`. A second `booth add` sharpening the
  why is not a second appearance of the booth.
- The write is atomic (invariant 5); the temp file is itself a dotfile, so
  no listing can see it mid-write.

THREE OPERATOR CALLS, 2026-09-22

Flags on the existing new/add verbs rather than a separate `announce` verb
(a second step is the step that gets forgotten, which is the rot's own
mechanism). Unannounced booths get a quiet marker rather than nothing — the
convention is only adoptable if the gap is visible. U5 adds provenance only
and does NOT add a second index ordering keyed on announcement time; that
is a different surface needing its own stated rule, parked for v1.1.

NO EXEMPTION LIST

A pickup booth and the standing link board are created by the service, so
they announce themselves with handle `booth`, which is true rather than
manufactured. One rule — a booth with no manifest is unannounced — instead
of a growing set of special cases.

ALSO

tests/test_booth.py's keep/release assertion was slicing the page on the
bare word `boothhead`, which has lived in the stylesheet far longer than
the assertion has; it was reading CSS and passing on luck, and went red the
first time a new rule landed above the old one. Same assertion, aimed at
the markup. A U5 test had the mirror-image bug: pytest derives tmp_path
from the test name and the index renders data_dir, so a test named
`test_an_unannounced_booth_says_so` put the needle in the haystack itself
and passed against a template that did not yet exist.

310 tests (304 before this unit's CLI half). Live service restarted, 26/26
booth pages verified 200, end-to-end smoke through the real CLI.

NOT TAGGED. The cold contract-review panel is still in flight and the
code-review and bug-hunt gates have not run. Tagging with a gate
outstanding is what made v0.2.0 premature.

"""`scripts/booth` — the surface every fleet session actually calls.
It had no tests at all, which the 2026-09-22 bug-hunt panel found the hard way:
its guard-strength table returned UNVERIFIED for every CLI claim because nothing
in the suite executes the script. Two of that round's findings live in here.
These run the real script under the real system `python3` with no venv, which
also makes them a live check on INV-1 (stdlib-only): a third-party import in
`marks.py` fails here the same way it fails on a fleet host.
