JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 aa7e1d8b01 C1 (#176): give ConcatWorker the seam ConversionWorker always had, and test what was behind it
ConcatWorker constructed ConcatEngine in place while ConversionWorker reached its engines
through ConversionDependencies. That asymmetry is the whole reason one worker had a tested
failure path and the other had none: everything past setForeground was untested on *every*
source set, JVM and device alike.

The repo had already measured the cost and written it down. PerJobStagingTest's KDoc
records that **reverting ConcatWorker to a constant staging name left all 257 tests
green**, because nothing could reach the line that names the file. RefusedJobTest says it
from the other side -- "the next thing past the count guard is ConcatEngine, which is
native". That mutation is red now.

The seam is `ConversionDependencies.concat: (Context) -> ConcatJoiner`, beside .hardware
and .software. ConcatEngine implements the interface; its Result type stays nested in the
implementation, because moving it would touch every call site to buy nothing -- what a
test needs is the ability to not run FFmpeg, and that is the method, not the type.

Five tests, and the mutations that hold them:

  the engine's own reason reaches the user   replace e.message with the generic string
  a failure with no message still says one   drop the ?: GENERIC_FAILURE_MESSAGE fallback
  a failed join deletes its partial          drop staged.delete() from the catch
  no input array at all is refused           swap in TOO_FEW_INPUTS_MESSAGE
  a join reports its own staged file         revert to the constant staging name

The delete test was vacuous on its first draft and the mutation caught it: it scanned the
staging directory for a "join-" prefix that StagingNames.forJob does not produce -- it
names files <jobId>.<ext> -- so the assertion was trivially true. Rewritten to assert
against the handle the joiner was actually given.

Two small fixes ride along, both the repo's own conventions rather than new opinions.
"No input files." becomes NO_INPUTS_MESSAGE, per #158: a message the user can see is
named once, so a test asserts the string the worker writes rather than a copy that can
drift. And the JVM now covers that arm, which ran before staging and before any native
code and had no business being a device test.

579 -> 584 JVM tests, 0 failures.
ConcatWorker: 14 -> 5 missed lines, 2 -> 0 missed branches.
Line 2173/2348 -> 2183/2352; branch 1091/1342 unchanged in the numerator.

The line denominator moved 2348 -> 2352: that is the ConcatJoiner interface, not new
untested code. Said plainly because CLAUDE.md's coverage entry has a history of explaining
its own numbers wrongly.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 794cef7b34 C2 (#177): cut MediaProbe's two-probe merge into a seam, and ask which probe wins
probe() runs MediaExtractor and FFprobe independently and merges the two, and every rule
in that merge is a decision nothing held. The reason is structural rather than an
oversight: RemuxTest drives the whole thing on a device against committed fixtures, but
only ever with one probe answering and the other agreeing or also failing. Nothing on any
source set can arrange for a real extractor and a real FFprobe to *disagree*, so every
elvis in the merge was taken in one direction and never the other.

The seam is `internal fun merge(Extracted?, FFprobeInfo?): InputProbe`, pulled out of
probe() whole -- probe() now reads the two probes, merges, and keeps the log. FFprobeInfo
becomes internal alongside it; Extracted already was, with a KDoc giving this exact reason,
and FFprobeInfo simply never got the same treatment. Half a signature being private is
what made the function unnameable from a test.

Eleven tests, and the mutations that hold them:

  image beats a real video codec      demote the isImage arm below the video arm
  the extractor wins on codecs        flip the elvis to FFprobe-first
  duration is the larger reading      replace maxOf with extractor-first
  dimensions prefer the extractor     flip the width elvis
  no recognised stream is unreadable  narrow the guard to `extracted == null && info == null`

All five red, then restored. One mutation I tried first was *semantically equivalent* --
moving the image arm above the both-null arm changes nothing for any reachable input -- so
it stayed green and is recorded here rather than counted: a green mutation is only evidence
when the mutation is a real change.

The last row is the arm the ticket was filed for: parsed, and carrying no stream either
probe recognised, which is what a container holding only subtitles looks like. Its input
was already being constructed elsewhere in the suite -- MediaProbeTrackWalkTest calls
extractedFrom(emptyList()) and gets exactly it -- and had never been handed to the merge.

568 -> 579 JVM tests, 0 failures.
MediaProbe: 35 -> 24 missed lines, 72 -> 40 missed branches.
Line 2103/2348 -> 2173/2348; branch 1029/1340 -> 1091/1342.

The branch denominator moved by two, and it is the seam that moved it -- worth stating
separately from the numerator, because CLAUDE.md's coverage entry has a documented history
of explaining its own numbers wrongly.
