The T4 test asserted 'reflection Invoke returned AND the row is still present', but the
yielded continuation runs RunPurge on a pool thread and can delete the row before the
test thread reaches its assert — lost 2/2 full-suite sweeps on the integration branch,
green in isolation (row-40 class, introduced by this wave). The purge now blocks inside
the isActiveNode check (consulted before any delete) until the test releases it: fixed
code returns from Invoke while the gate is held; unfixed code blocks on the gate itself
and the bounded wait fails. Proof of failure re-run: with Task.Yield() removed the test
fails with the intended message after the 10 s bound; 3/3 green with it restored.
