[AZ-424] [AZ-425] [AZ-426] Implement negatives set (FT-N-01/03/04)

Adds three pure-logic evaluators + scenarios + unit tests covering the
project's failure-mode robustness ladder (AC-3.1, AC-3.4, AC-3.5,
AC-NEW-8):

* outlier_tolerance_evaluator (AZ-424 / FT-N-01): per-event 50 m drift
  bound + 3-frame covariance-monotonic window over the AZ-408 outlier
  injector's medium-density manifest.
* outage_request_evaluator (AZ-425 / FT-N-03): detects 3+ consecutive
  missing-frame windows; validates OPERATOR_RELOC_REQUEST STATUSTEXT
  arrives at 2 s ±500 ms, dead_reckoned label during outage, and no
  FC EKF divergence.
* blackout_spoof_evaluator (AZ-426 / FT-N-04): eight-AC ladder across
  the 5 s / 15 s / 35 s sub-windows — switch latency, spoof rejection,
  monotonic covariance, honest horiz_accuracy, STATUSTEXT 1-2 Hz,
  35 s escalation thresholds, and recovery gate.

Each scenario is skip-gated on the AZ-441 / AZ-407 / AZ-416 replay /
SITL / mavproxy helpers; unit tests (14 + 18 + 29 = 61) cover the
AC logic today. Full e2e unit-test suite: 527 passed (+67).

+# Batch 73 Report — Test Implementation (cycle 1, batch 7 of test phase)
+
+**Batch**: 73
+**Date**: 2026-05-17
+**Context**: Test implementation (greenfield Step 10 — Implement Tests)
+**Tasks**: AZ-424 (3pt), AZ-425 (3pt), AZ-426 (5pt) — 11 cp / 3 tasks
+**Cycle**: 1
+**Verdict**: COMPLETE — PASS (self-reviewed; see `reviews/batch_73_review.md`)
+
+## Summary
+
+The negatives set — FT-N-01 / FT-N-03 / FT-N-04 — the project's
+failure-mode robustness suite (AC-3.1, AC-3.4, AC-3.5, AC-NEW-8).
+Same pattern as the prior batches in this phase:
+
+* Pure-logic evaluator under `e2e/runner/helpers/` (everything the
+  scenario can express without docker-bound SITL access).
+* Scenario file under `e2e/tests/negative/`, parameterised across
+  conftest fixtures, skip-gated on upstream replay / FDR / mavproxy
+  / SITL observer helpers (auto-activates when AZ-441 + AZ-407 +
+  AZ-416 leftovers land).
+* Helper-driven unit test file under `e2e/_unit_tests/helpers/`.
+
+### AZ-424 — FT-N-01 350 m outlier injection tolerance (3pt)
+
+* **`runner/helpers/outlier_tolerance_evaluator.py`** — three
+  invariants:
+  - AC-1: count gate — `MIN_OUTLIER_COUNT = 10` outliers across the
+    Derkachi 8-min `--density medium` replay (the AC-3.1 envelope).
+  - AC-2: per-event drift bound — `error_after_outlier −
+    error_before_outlier ≤ DRIFT_BUDGET_M = 50.0`. `before` / `after`
+    are the immediate neighbour frames in the outbound stream;
+    `distance_m` is the shared Vincenty helper.
+  - AC-3: covariance monotonic across the 3-frame window centred on
+    the outlier (`COVARIANCE_WINDOW_FRAMES = 3`).
+  - Plus `load_outlier_manifest` (reads the AZ-408 injector's
+    `manifest.csv`) and `write_csv_evidence`.
+* **`tests/negative/test_ft_n_01_outlier_tolerance.py`** — scenario
+  indirect-parametrises `outlier_injection_derkachi` at
+  `density="medium", seed=0`, drives replay, collects FDR
+  `outbound_estimate` records, joins them to per-frame GT, evaluates,
+  asserts per-event `passes_drift` + `passes_covariance` plus the
+  aggregate `passes_count`. Records NFR metrics
+  `ft_n_01.total_outliers`, `ft_n_01.failed_event_count`, per-event
+  `drift_m` + `cov_non_decreasing`.
+* **14 unit tests** in `test_outlier_tolerance_evaluator.py`.
+
+### AZ-425 — FT-N-03 Extended outage triggers operator re-loc request (3pt)
+
+* **`runner/helpers/outage_request_evaluator.py`** — first detects
+  outage windows from frame-index gaps (≥`MIN_OUTAGE_FRAMES = 3`
+  consecutive missing frames), then per-window evaluates:
+  - AC-2: STATUSTEXT `OPERATOR_RELOC_REQUEST` observed at
+    `[OUTAGE_THRESHOLD_S − TOLERANCE_S, OUTAGE_THRESHOLD_S +
+    TOLERANCE_S] = [1.5, 2.5] s` after outage onset.
+  - AC-3: at least one `source_label = dead_reckoned` outbound
+    emission inside the window.
+  - AC-4: zero FC-side EKF divergence events inside the window
+    (observable via SITL state read).
+  - Plus `detect_outage_windows` (with explicit handling for trailing
+    windows + multi-window flights) and `write_csv_evidence`.
+* **`tests/negative/test_ft_n_03_outage_reloc.py`** — scenario drives
+  replay with a 3-frame outage injector (a future thin extension of
+  the AZ-408 outlier injector), reads FDR `frame_received` +
+  `outbound_estimate` records to reconstruct
+  `expected_frame_indices` and the estimate stream, walks the
+  mavproxy `.tlog` for STATUSTEXT, and pulls EKF divergence events
+  via `sitl_observer.read_ekf_divergence_events()`. Records per-window
+  NFR metrics with AC IDs (`length_frames`, `statustext_offset_ms`,
+  `dead_reckoned_count`, `ekf_divergence_count`).
+* **18 unit tests** in `test_outage_request_evaluator.py`.
+
+### AZ-426 — FT-N-04 Visual blackout + spoofed GPS combined failsafe (5pt)
+
+* **`runner/helpers/blackout_spoof_evaluator.py`** — the most ladder-
+  heavy evaluator in the project: eight per-AC sub-reports stitched
+  into one `BlackoutSpoofReport`. Constants pulled into the module
+  header so the spec can be diffed against code in one place:
+  `SWITCH_LATENCY_MS = 400` (AC-1),
+  `HONEST_ACCURACY_RATIO = 0.95` (AC-4),
+  `STATUSTEXT_RATE_MIN_HZ = 1.0` / `STATUSTEXT_RATE_MAX_HZ = 2.0` (AC-5),
+  `ESCALATION_COV_2D_M = 100.0` (AC-6),
+  `ESCALATION_COV_FAILSAFE_M = 500.0`, `ESCALATION_DURATION_FAILSAFE_S = 30.0`,
+  `ESCALATION_LATENCY_MS = 500` (AC-7),
+  `RECOVERY_STABLE_S = 10.0` (AC-8).
+  Per-AC analysers:
+  - `evaluate_switch_latency`: budget = `min(SWITCH_LATENCY_MS,
+    frame_period_ms)` — the spec's "≤1 frame OR ≤400 ms (whichever is
+    shorter)" wording, made explicit.
+  - `evaluate_spoof_rejection`: requires both ≥1 FDR
+    `spoof-rejected` event AND zero `satellite_anchored` emissions
+    inside the window (so the SUT cannot silently re-promote on a
+    spoofed lock).
+  - `evaluate_covariance_monotonic`: first non-decreasing violation
+    timestamp + binary pass.
+  - `evaluate_honest_accuracy`: per-sample `horiz_accuracy ≥ 0.95 ×
+    cov_semi_major_m`. Boundary test pins the spec budget.
+  - `evaluate_statustext_rate`: `VISUAL_BLACKOUT_IMU_ONLY` rate over
+    the window must land in [1, 2] Hz.
+  - `evaluate_escalation` (35 s window only): AC-6 fix_type degrades
+    on the first cov-100 m crossing; AC-7 triggers on the earliest
+    of cov-500 m crossing OR 30 s duration. Non-35 s windows pass
+    vacuously — they aren't expected to hit either threshold.
+  - `evaluate_recovery_gate`: AC-8 — ≥10 s of healthy + non-spoofed
+    FC GPS + a consistency-check pass before re-promoting to
+    `satellite_anchored` post-window.
+* **`tests/negative/test_ft_n_04_blackout_spoof.py`** — scenario
+  indirect-parametrises `blackout_spoof_derkachi` over
+  `_WINDOW_LADDER_S = (5.0, 15.0, 35.0)` with ids `["5s", "15s",
+  "35s"]`. Collects FDR `outbound_estimate` + `spoof_rejected`,
+  mavproxy STATUSTEXT, and SITL GPS-health + consistency-check
+  samples. Asserts each AC with a descriptive failure message that
+  surfaces the relevant sub-report fields.
+* **29 unit tests** in `test_blackout_spoof_evaluator.py`.
+
+## Layout invariant
+
+`e2e/_unit_tests/test_directory_layout.py` now lists the three new
+evaluators and the three new scenario files.
+
+## Test Results
+
+* New unit tests: 14 + 18 + 29 = **61**.
+* Plus 6 new entries in `test_required_path_exists` parametrize
+  (3 helpers + 3 scenarios).
+* Full `e2e/_unit_tests` suite: **527 passed in 130 s** (previous
+  cumulative: 460 → +67 net).
+* Scenario collection across the three negatives: 48 items
+  parametrized; the session-end `/e2e-results/evidence/per-nfr`
+  teardown error is the same pre-existing `nfr_recorder` wart
+  documented in batches 69-72 — not a regression of this batch and
+  not blocking unit-suite collection.
+
+## State
+
+* Specs moved: `_docs/02_tasks/todo/AZ-{424,425,426}_*.md` →
+  `_docs/02_tasks/done/`.
+* `_docs/_autodev_state.md` advanced to
+  `last_completed_batch: 73`.
+* Cumulative review window: `last_cumulative_review = batches_70-72`;
+  the next K=3 cumulative review fires at the end of batch 75.

+
+### Phase 1 — Context Loading

+Loaded specs `AZ-424_ft_n_01_outlier_tolerance.md`,
+`AZ-425_ft_n_03_outage_reloc.md`, `AZ-426_ft_n_04_blackout_spoof.md`.

+`OutlierInjectionReport.out_root`), `e2e/fixtures/injectors/blackout_spoof.py`
+(`BlackoutSpoofPlan`, `BlackoutSpoofSchedule.window_start_ms / window_end_ms`,
+spoofed-GPS cadence + AC-NEW-8 200-500 m delta bounds). Re-read existing
+fixture wiring in `e2e/runner/helpers/injector_fixtures.py` to confirm
+`outlier_injection_derkachi` and `blackout_spoof_derkachi` parametrize
+on `density` / `window_seconds`. Re-read the scenario template used in
+batch 71/72 (`tests/positive/test_ft_p_10_smoothing_lookback.py`,
+`tests/negative/test_ft_n_02_sharp_turn_failure.py`) for the
+`_harness_helpers_implemented` gate pattern and the FDR / mavproxy /

+| CSV evidence | `test_write_csv_evidence_round_trips`, scenario writes `ft-n-04-{window_s}s-{fc_adapter}-{vio_strategy}.csv` | Covered |
+
+### Phase 3 — Code Quality
+
+* **Single responsibility**: each evaluator is one module with one
+  responsibility — `outlier_tolerance_evaluator` aggregates per-event
+  AC-2/AC-3 reports; `outage_request_evaluator` detects outage windows
+  and evaluates AC-1..AC-4 per window; `blackout_spoof_evaluator`
+  evaluates the AC-1..AC-8 ladder against one `BlackoutWindow`. None
+  of the three pulls in scenario-specific helpers (drive replay /
+  collect samples) — those live in the scenario test files.
+* **Method naming**: per-AC evaluators are named after the AC concern
+  (`evaluate_switch_latency`, `evaluate_spoof_rejection`,
+  `evaluate_covariance_monotonic`, `evaluate_honest_accuracy`,
+  `evaluate_statustext_rate`, `evaluate_escalation`,
+  `evaluate_recovery_gate`). The aggregate `evaluate(...)` in each
+  module composes the per-AC reports into a single dataclass.
+* **No suppressed errors**: `load_outlier_manifest` raises on missing
+  file and missing columns; the manifest writer raises naturally on
+  ENOENT; the evaluator helpers raise no exceptions of their own.
+  No bare `except`, no `2>/dev/null`-equivalents.
+* **AAA comment discipline**: every test uses `# Arrange / # Act /
+  # Assert`; sections are omitted when not needed (e.g. constant
+  invariant tests just have `# Assert`).
+* **Public boundary**: confirmed all three evaluators import only from
+  the `e2e.runner.helpers.geo` symbol (when needed) and dataclasses /
+  stdlib. No `from gps_denied_onboard ...`. Confirmed via grep.
+
+### Phase 4 — Security
+
+* **No new secrets, credentials, or network paths**. All three
+  evaluators are pure-logic over already-collected samples / events.
+* **Spoof rejection (AC-2)** is the project's primary anti-spoof
+  invariant; the evaluator does not bypass it — it asserts the FDR
+  recorded the rejection AND that the source-label state machine did
+  not silently re-promote to `satellite_anchored` inside the window.
+* **Honest accuracy (AC-4)** ensures the SUT cannot under-report
+  uncertainty to the FC. The evaluator's check is `horiz_accuracy ≥
+  0.95 × cov_semi_major_m` per the spec; we explicitly cover the
+  boundary in `test_honest_accuracy_boundary_pass` so a future
+  implementation cannot pass by emitting `horiz = cov` while the spec
+  budget is `0.95 × cov`.
+
+### Phase 5 — Performance
+
+All three evaluators are O(N) over their input sequences (single
+pass over estimates, single pass over events, single pass over
+statustexts). No nested scans beyond the bounded 3-frame window in
+`outlier_tolerance_evaluator.evaluate_event`. CSV writes use
+buffered `csv.writer`. No file I/O at module import time.
+
+### Phase 6 — Cross-Task Consistency
+
+* **Shared `geo.distance_m`** is the single point-to-point distance
+  helper used by `outlier_tolerance_evaluator`. Matches the
+  `accuracy_evaluator`, `multi_segment_evaluator`,
+  `smoothing_evaluator`, `cold_start_evaluator` conventions.
+* **Shared `_harness_helpers_implemented` skip gate**: all three new
+  scenarios use the same probe pattern as `test_ft_p_10_*`,
+  `test_ft_p_11_*`, `test_ft_n_02_*` — `NotImplementedError` on
+  `frame_source_replay`, `fdr_reader`, `imu_replay`,
+  `mavproxy_tlog_reader`, `sitl_observer` collapses to a single
+  `pytest.skip(...)` with a pointer to the relevant unit test.
+* **Constants centralised inside each module**: `MIN_OUTLIER_COUNT`,
+  `DRIFT_BUDGET_M`, `SWITCH_LATENCY_MS`, `STATUSTEXT_RATE_*_HZ`,
+  `ESCALATION_*` all sit at the top of their respective modules and
+  are imported as named constants in the unit tests. No magic numbers
+  inline.
+* **Source-label vocabulary**: `dead_reckoned` / `satellite_anchored`
+  are spelled identically across the three new evaluators and match
+  the prior batches (`sharp_turn_detector.ALLOWED_DURING_TURN_LABELS`,
+  `multi_segment_evaluator`, FDR schema in batch 67-68).
+* **STATUSTEXT regex strings**: `OPERATOR_RELOC_REQUEST` (FT-N-03),
+  `VISUAL_BLACKOUT_IMU_ONLY` (FT-N-04 AC-5),
+  `VISUAL_BLACKOUT_FAILSAFE` (FT-N-04 AC-7) match the spec verbatim;
+  unit-tested for substring presence + payload mismatch.
+
+### Phase 7 — Architecture Compliance
+
+* **Module placement**: all three evaluators live in
+  `e2e/runner/helpers/`; their unit tests in
+  `e2e/_unit_tests/helpers/`; their scenarios in
+  `e2e/tests/negative/`. Consistent with the AZ-406 layout and the
+  directory-layout invariant test (which now lists the three new
+  helpers + three new scenarios).
+* **No `src/gps_denied_onboard` imports** anywhere in the new code.
+  Verified by inspection — the evaluators only consume typed
+  dataclasses populated by the scenario from public-boundary
+  sources (FDR, mavproxy tlog, SITL state, injector manifests).
+* **Scenario gating**: each new scenario file uses
+  `pytest.skip(...)` with an explicit message pointing to the unit
+  test that covers the gated AC logic. This is the established
+  pattern from FT-P-07/08/09/10/11 and FT-N-02 — scenario coverage
+  comes online once the AZ-441 / AZ-407 / AZ-416 leftovers ship.
+
+## Test Results
+
+* New unit tests: 14 (outlier) + 18 (outage) + 29 (blackout-spoof) = **61 new tests**
+* Plus 6 new entries in the parametrized `test_required_path_exists`
+  (3 evaluator paths + 3 scenario paths) — counted toward the suite
+  total.
+* Full `e2e/_unit_tests` suite: **527 passed in 130 s** (previous
+  cumulative: 460 → +67 net).
+* Scenario collection for the three negative tests: 48 items collect
+  cleanly (parametrized across `fc_adapter × vio_strategy × {density |
+  window_seconds}`). The session-end `/e2e-results/evidence/per-nfr`
+  teardown error is the same pre-existing wart documented in batches
+  69-72 (nfr_recorder hardcoded path; not introduced by this batch).

+"""Blackout-spoof evaluation for FT-N-04 (AZ-426 / AC-3.5 + AC-NEW-8).
+
+Three-window ladder (5 s / 15 s / 35 s) with the
+``blackout_spoof.py`` injector + FC-inbound spoof proxy. The
+evaluator validates per AZ-426:
+
+* AC-1: switch latency — within ≤1 frame OR ≤``SWITCH_LATENCY_MS``
+  (whichever is shorter), the first outbound estimate after blackout
+  onset carries ``source_label = dead_reckoned``.
+* AC-2: spoof rejection — at least one FDR ``spoof-rejected`` event
+  is observed during the blackout window AND zero spoofed GPS records
+  are consumed into the estimator (label never returns to
+  ``satellite_anchored`` during the window).
+* AC-3: monotonic covariance — ``cov_semi_major_m`` is non-decreasing
+  across consecutive emissions inside the window.
+* AC-4: honest horiz_accuracy —
+  ``horiz_accuracy ≥ HONEST_ACCURACY_RATIO × cov_semi_major_m``
+  for every emission.
+* AC-5: STATUSTEXT 1-2 Hz —
+  ``VISUAL_BLACKOUT_IMU_ONLY`` STATUSTEXT rate is in
+  ``[STATUSTEXT_RATE_MIN_HZ, STATUSTEXT_RATE_MAX_HZ]`` throughout the
+  window.
+* AC-6 (35 s only): when 95 % covariance crosses
+  ``ESCALATION_COV_2D_M``, fix_type degrades to ≤``ESCALATION_FIX_TYPE_2D``.
+* AC-7 (35 s only): when 95 % covariance crosses
+  ``ESCALATION_COV_FAILSAFE_M`` OR window duration exceeds
+  ``ESCALATION_DURATION_FAILSAFE_S``, ``horiz_accuracy ==
+  HORIZ_ACCURACY_FAILSAFE`` AND ``VISUAL_BLACKOUT_FAILSAFE``
+  STATUSTEXT is emitted within ≤``ESCALATION_LATENCY_MS`` of the
+  crossing.
+* AC-8: recovery gate — after blackout end, label only returns to
+  ``satellite_anchored`` once both (a) FC GPS-health is stable +
+  non-spoofed for ≥``RECOVERY_STABLE_S`` AND (b) a
+  visual/satellite consistency check succeeds.
+
+Public-boundary discipline: does NOT import any
+``src/gps_denied_onboard`` symbol.
