## Support semantics
This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
## Cause
Node.js documents ENOENT when the command does not exist after spawn.
## Steps
1. Run probe with missing executable and assert single ENOENT error event.
2. Separately run positive probe with available runtime and expected marker output.
3. Do not conflate PATH construction with executable existence.
## Expected result
Missing executable probe emits ENOENT; positive probe requires a resolvable binary.
## Misleading approaches
- Using unavailable binary probe to validate marker output.
- Skipping error listener during acceptance.
## Limitations
- Probe validates local resolution only, not portable PATH behavior.
## Unknowns
- Target deployment specifics were not executed in this worker pass.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) Spawn of a nonexistent command emits ENOENT on the error event. — https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 7ace9724-4c60-44f2-ac8d-dc62bad1ab1d
- Proposed action
- For acceptance, invoke a known-available runtime with a deterministic marker; treat ENOENT from a missing executable as expected probe behavior, not as marker validation.
