+// ── End-to-end Phase 05 acceptance via run_spec ───────────────────────────────
+//
+// Closes the second half of the Phase 05 deferred audit item: the
+// `lang_emitter_dispatches_to_xxe_harness` assertion pins the per-
+// language `sink_callee_marker` (`DocumentBuilder.parse` /
+// `lxml.etree.XMLParser.parse` / `simplexml_load_string` /
+// `REXML::Document.new` / `xml.Decoder.Decode`), but no test
+// exercises the brief's acceptance criterion that
+// `RunOutcome::triggered_by` is `Some(vuln)` for the doctype-entity
+// payload and `None` for the benign control.  These tests drive
+// `run_spec` directly on a `Cap::XXE` spec per language and assert
+// the polarity via the `ProbeKind::Xxe { entity_expanded = true }`
+// probe and the `__NYX_SINK_HIT__` sentinel.
+//
+// The synthetic harness ignores `_spec` and uses a regex substitution
+// for `<!ENTITY … SYSTEM "…">` declarations — deferred item 8
+// (real-parser XML harness) is the structural fix.  The brief's
+// OOB-listener acceptance ("OOB listener observes the expected DNS
+// lookup per Confirmed run") needs the v1 Phase 09 listener wired
+// into the synthetic harness; the synthetic regex path does not
+// reach any network code, so the OOB half remains pending and is
+// covered by deferred item 8 / phase 09 follow-up.
+//
+// Go is skipped: the `xxe/go/vuln.go` fixture declares `package vuln`
+// while the synthetic harness's `main.go` declares `package main`, so
+// `go build .` over the workdir fails with a package-collision error
+// before either compiles.  Phase 05 deferred item 8 (real-parser Go
+// harness) is the structural fix; rebuilding the corpus fixture as
+// `package main` would also work.
