## Title

    Order fetch phases before recorder finalisation, and assert the ordering in a test that drives the real entry point

## Body

    A comment saying 'this must run before finalisation' does not survive the next refactor, because the failure it prevents is invisible. An ordering assertion driven through the real entry point does.\n\nThe test is cheap: the transport is already a seam in most record/replay designs, so the stub only has to record the order of calls it receives. Assert (a) every fetch precedes finalisation, and (b) the new phase's responses reach whatever cross-cutting validation exists.\n\nAn independent second check is worth having if captures are expensive: after a capture completes, assert the manifest contains at least one URL matching each supported family's shape. That turns 'the family was silently skipped' into a failure at capture time rather than at first replay.

Then pin the ordering with a test rather than a comment: drive the real build entry point with a stubbed transport that appends a marker to a shared call log on each fetch and on finalisation, and assert every fetch index is lower than the finalisation index. Verify the test bites by moving the phase back and confirming the test fails.",
