/**
 * Property-harness (design/57 §9 / design/58) — the **oracle-free** half of the trusted-oracle problem.
 *
 * From a **trusted contract** (supplied by the spec / leader — NEVER the worker, so it dodges BUG8: a worker
 * can't write `assert(true)` here) this derives executable **invariants** that hold for ANY correct
 * implementation, with **no expected values** (no oracle — dodging the "expected is LLM-computed" trap of a
 * generated test) and **no LLM** (pure deterministic — design/56's "execute > analyze"). Run against an
 * implementation over many generated inputs, they catch the **structural-contract** bug class deterministically
 * at **0 false positives** (probe-13: structural 16/16 caught, FP 0/12).
 *
 * It is a thin **complement** to the mechanical exit gate ({@link runExecGate}), not a replacement: it provably
 * **cannot** catch value-semantic bugs — wrong output that is still structurally valid (`abs → square`,
 * titlecase `don't → Don'T`). Those still need a real test suite (MECH) or the L3 judge. The value is the
 * **sound invariant library + the contract→invariant derivation** centralized here (a profile re-deriving it
 * risks unsound invariants = false positives = the thing that makes a gate harmful).
 *
 * Honest limits (two independent probes converged — core probe-13 + search [52], both FP=0):
 * - **The only false-positive risk is an UNFAITHFUL contract.** Each invariant is sound by construction, so a
 *   *correct* impl can't violate one — UNLESS the contract misdescribes the intended behavior (declaring a
 *   property the correct impl doesn't have). The contract must faithfully describe intent (it is trusted input).
 * - **Order/positional blindness.** `permutation`/`subset`/multiset-based invariants are order-agnostic, so a
 *   wrong-order-but-same-elements result (concat `b+a`, a mis-ordered flatten) passes. That is the value-semantic
 *   class — catch it with a positional contract entry, a real test (MECH), or the judge.
 * - **No contract ⇒ no signal.** A function with no declared contract derives zero invariants (zero coverage);
 *   the catch comes from the *contract* you declare, not from the type alone — this is not magic from signatures.
 *
 * Scope (design/58 §2): no type→input generation (caller supplies `genInput`), no multi-language rendering
 * (this is the JS/TS reference; other languages render their own from {@link FunctionContract}), no
 * non-termination detection (a sync infinite loop blocks {@link checkInvariants} — gate it with the
 * env/exec timeout via `runExecGate`; `totalNoThrow` only catches throws).
