+/**
+ * `test:e2e` membership meta-guard.
+ *
+ * CI's Playwright tier runs the explicit file enumeration in packages/app
+ * package.json `test:e2e` — Playwright treats CLI file args as filters, so a
+ * stress e2e file missing from that list (or a listed file that was later
+ * renamed/deleted) is silently invisible: no failure, no skip, no signal.
+ * Before this guard, 32 of 83 `tests/stress/*.e2e.ts` files had drifted into
+ * that invisible set, including one deterministically failing test.
+ *
+ * Every `tests/stress/*.e2e.ts` file must therefore be in EXACTLY ONE of:
+ *   1. the `test:e2e` enumeration (runs in CI), or
+ *   2. the exclusion ledger (`tests/stress/e2e-ci-ledger.ts`) with a reviewed
+ *      reason + local-run evidence.
+ *
+ * The guard also fails on staleness in either direction: a ledger entry whose
+ * file no longer exists, or an enumerated file that no longer exists (a
+ * deleted file left in the script matches nothing and shrinks CI coverage
+ * without any red).
+ *
+ * The membership predicate is extracted pure and exercised against planted
+ * fixtures below — an absence-checker without a planted positive is a vacuous
+ * green waiting to happen (same pattern as e2e-stop-rules.test.ts).
