The fixture loop covers every package the fixture has; this covers every
package the tree has. The review's skip-the-root rival now fails the real
repo's own gate (exit 2 naming Cargo.toml), not only the test suite.

ChatGPT Codex on PR #159: both formatter invocations end `|| rc=1`, so any
failure after the rustfmt probe was reported as "misformatted" although no
verdict was produced. Correct, and the narrower form of the bug this gate
exists for.
Measured: an unparseable source exits 1, identical to a diff; an unknown
rustfmt.toml option is only a warning (exit 0).
Narrowed rather than re-classified, because telling a diff from a parse error
means parsing rustfmt's prose, which is the check-adjacent-to-its-subject this
repo keeps getting wrong. The line the split needs is "did the gate run":
exit 1 names a file and blames the tree; exit 2 names none and blames the
invocation, and every exit-2 cause is checked above the loop.
Two more rivals injected: deleting the `cargo fmt --version` probe, and
turning `|| rc=1` into `|| return 2`. The first exposed a vacuous test -- a
cargo stub that failed for every argument also breaks `cargo metadata`, so the
run exited 2 on the metadata arm and the probe could be deleted with the suite
green. The stub now delegates every subcommand but `fmt`, which is the shape a
missing rustfmt component actually has.

improvise-b4ks. From the repo root `cargo fmt -p opfs-contract -- --check`
exits 1 with "package `opfs-contract` is not a member of the workspace" and
never runs --check, so a caller reading $? cannot tell "misformatted" from
"nothing was checked". Reproduced at 7cef9f8.
scripts/fmt-workspaces.sh discovers every [workspace] root and checks each
with `-p <member>` scoped by that root's own --manifest-path. Exit 2 is a
usage error or an unrunnable cargo; exit 1 is a formatting verdict.
Both obvious spellings were measured and both fail in the direction that
looks like success: `--all` crosses the boundary, because it formats local
path dependencies and harness/opfs-contract depends on improvise-io by path
(an injected fault in src/draw.rs was reported by the harness root); and the
bare --manifest-path form is blind to workspace members, because the repo
root is a package as well as a workspace (an injected fault in
crates/improvise-core exited 0).
scripts/fmt-workspaces-test.sh is the check_the_checker. Four rivals were
injected and each failed it. Its fixture had to be corrected twice -- a
missing path dependency and a virtual outer manifest -- and both vacuities
were found only by injecting the rival, never by reading.
