Refinement Verification — Cycle 3

Summary

All three audited findings are fully addressed by the code now on disk, and the changed callers still align with the updated contracts. npm run typecheck completed successfully; targeted Vitest execution could not be completed in this sandbox because Vitest/Vite hit an EPERM spawn failure while starting esbuild, so verification is based on code readback plus typecheck rather than runtime tests.

Finding Verification

Finding	Claimed	Verdict	Notes
C1: Publish on the target branch can commit unrelated pre-staged files	Fixed	PASS	Read src/main/services/git/PublishService.ts; same-branch publishes now compare listCachedStagedFilePaths() against the requested publish set and return PUBLISH_STAGED_CONFLICT before git.add/git.commit. tests/main/publishService.test.ts now covers the unrelated-staged-path case.
I1: settings:update silently accepts unknown keys and reports success	Fixed	PASS	Read src/main/ipc/handlers/settingsHandlers.ts; merged configs are now parsed with unknownKeyPolicy: 'reject', so typoed or version-skewed fields fail validation instead of being stripped. tests/main/settingsHandlers.test.ts adds a regression case for an unknown payload key.
I2: Storm folder creation recreates a missing tropical root instead of failing fast	Fixed	PASS	Read src/main/services/storms/StormFolderService.ts; assertExistingTropicalRootOrReject(...) now runs before create/update/sync operations, preventing recursive creation of a missing root and returning FS_ERROR instead. tests/main/stormFolderService.test.ts adds the missing-root create regression and updates existing mocks for the new root check.
