fix: pos ai alias create aborts on empty system prompt — menu_ask_value --allow-empty
User report: pressing Enter on 'System prompt (empty = use built-in)'
silently returned to the menu — no alias created, and step labels read
[1/4] [2/4] in a 5-step flow.

Detective (pre-existing, not a 2026-09-06 regression): menu_ask_value's
documented contract is 'rc 1 = cancel, or empty answer with no default';
the step-4 call passed an empty default so the advertised empty answer
hit rc 1 and '|| return 0' aborted the flow. Same latent trap at the
alias-name step (empty-name warn/re-prompt was dead code). 11 other
call sites are correct (6 external rely on empty=cancel, 4 pass
defaults) — no global semantic change allowed.

Architect: opt-in --allow-empty flag on menu_ask_value (backward
compatible; empty+no-default -> rc 0 + empty value; genuine cancel/EOF
stays rc 1; default still wins). Builder: implemented in lib/menu-lib.sh
+ bin/pos-ai-alias (steps 1-2 relabeled /5, flag at the two approved
sites); 7-case smoke matrix PASS.

Tests: tests/t-menu-allow-empty.sh (30 checks) — semantics matrix
against the real menu_ask_value via non-TTY stdin, reader-contract
probes (empty-Enter rc 0 vs EOF rc 1), static guards on step labeling,
the exactly-2 flag call sites, edit-flow untouched, and a scope fence
over all pos-* tools. Pty E2E proven feasible (script -qec, 3 scenarios)
and documented in the Tester report; the E2E file itself remains a
follow-up.

Verified: make gen idempotent; make check OK; make lint 0 FAIL, 0 WARN;
make test 17 files / 299 checks / 0 fail / 0 skip (~49s); bash -n clean.

tests/ — regression test suite

Zero-dependency Bash regression tests for the Linux_post_install repository.

Run

make test          # discover tests/t-*.sh, run everything
./tests/run-tests.sh                     # same
./tests/run-tests.sh t-telegram-auth.sh  # run one file

Exit code is non-zero if any check failed. The suite is designed to be deterministic: tests stub every external dependency they touch (curl, gpg, sudo, systemctl, llama-server, nvidia-smi…) and run against sandbox temp dirs. No network, no sudo, no system changes.

Adding a test

  1. Create tests/t-<what>.sh with a run_test() function. set -euo pipefail is already active (the runner re-asserts it); $ROOT is the repo root, $TEST_TMP a per-test temp dir that is cleaned automatically.
  2. Use the helpers in tests/test-lib.sh for every assertion: check, check_eq, check_rc, check_contains, check_not_contains, check_file_exists, check_file_absent, test_run / test_run_env, mksandbox, tracked_tree_copy, count_token.
  3. If a case cannot run in the current environment (missing binary, missing analyzer), call skip_case "<desc>" "<reason>" — never fake a pass and never silently return.
  4. Keep total suite runtime under 90 seconds.

Skip contract (hard)

A test that cannot run must say [SKIP] reason. The runner counts skips in the summary and a file whose run_test() produced zero checks and zero skips is reported as FAIL ("no assertions") — a broken harness can never pass silently.
