test(e2e): ask Flow whether the retired-route diagnosis is still true (#875) - #887

…#875) #886 fixed what gflow says when a labs tRPC route answers 404 "Flow RPCs have been deprecated and disabled", and covered it with unit tests over a captured body. Those prove our classifier does what we think. They cannot prove Flow still answers the way we captured it — and if Flow changes the wording, un-retires the route, or starts answering 401, they stay green while the user-facing remediation goes quietly wrong again. That is the gap this repo exists to close, so #886 left it as recorded debt. This pays it. The test asserts the remediation names the retired route and #639, and never tells the user to check a payload that is fine, simplify a prompt that does not exist, file a bug for a condition Flow documents in the body being classified, or set GFLOW_CLI_FLOW_HOST — measured not to help, because this read has no migrated arm. Two choices make it runnable on any profile in the nightly canary, with no extra configuration and no account writes: - No project fixture. The route is retired before any project lookup, so the diagnosis is project-independent and a syntactically valid id is enough. - It SKIPS rather than passes when the labs tRPC API still answers. A silent green would let a cohort change retire the test without anyone noticing, which is the skip_on_migrated_host failure mode in reverse. Verified live on denon82 (2026-09-20): passes in 11.9s against real Flow, and — with the detection marker disabled — fails with the pre-fix message verbatim, so it is a guard rather than a test that can only pass. Deselected by default; runs only under -m e2e_auth with GFLOW_CLI_E2E_PROFILE set.

Do not skip an unrecognized projectInitialData refusal.
FlowApiClient.list_characters() sends the projectInitialData request, and every unhandled 4xx becomes WireFormatError. The retirement classifier recognizes only the literal "flow rpcs have been deprecated" marker. If Flow keeps returning the retired route response but changes that wording, this branch skips before checking the remediation and hides the contract change. Classify the retired response with stable response fields, and fail when an otherwise matching refusal is not recognized.

Assert the actual #639 reference.
"639" in hint accepts unrelated numbers. Require an issue reference such as #639 or /issues/639 so this test proves the documented remediation contract.
Proposed fix
- assert "639" in hint, f"does not point at the port that would fix it: {hint}"

Summary
Pays the debt #886 recorded. Refs #875.
#886 fixed what gflow says when a labs tRPC route answers
404 "Flow RPCs have been deprecated and disabled", and covered it with unit tests over a captured body. Those prove our classifier does what we think. They cannot prove Flow still answers the way we captured it — and if Flow changes the wording, un-retires the route, or starts answering 401, they stay green while the user-facing remediation goes quietly wrong again.That is the gap this repo exists to close, so #886 shipped with it named as known debt rather than dropped. This closes it in the same session, which is the point — "recorded, not omitted" is a record of a blocker, never a substitute for the run, and there was no blocker here.
What it asserts
On a live call, when the route is retired, the remediation must:
Check request payload parameters— the payload is finesimpler prompt—character listis a read with no promptFile a bug— Flow documents the condition in the body we classifiedGFLOW_CLI_FLOW_HOST— measured not to help; this read has no migrated armTwo choices that make it survive in the canary
No project fixture. The route is retired before any project lookup, so the diagnosis is project-independent and a syntactically valid id suffices. That is what lets it run on any profile with no extra configuration — a test that needs an env var nobody sets is a test that never runs.
It skips rather than passes when the labs tRPC API still answers. A silent green would let a cohort change retire this test without anyone noticing — the
skip_on_migrated_hostfailure mode in reverse. Same discipline astest_credits_never_sends_a_live_profile_to_re_login.Verification
