archive differential: fossil's documented argument order, and print its errors (#95)

One runner carries fossil 2.26 where the others carry 2.28, and 2.26 refuses options before the positionals -- fossil documents 'tarball VERSION OUTPUTFILE [OPTIONS]' and 2.28 merely tolerated the other order.

The reason that took a full CI round trip to find is the second change: a failure said 'see $WORK/x.log' on a machine nobody can log into. It now prints the log, so fossil's own sentence reaches the build output. check-in: e492130985 user: dmestas tags: trunk

-R: say which mistake was made, not 'no checkout here' (#97)

The discovery message tells the operator to name the repository with -R. For a -R failure that advises supplying the flag already supplied, and it reads the same whether the path was mistyped or simply holds no repository -- so a stale path in a script looked like a bug in the verb. Reported against tarball; every -R verb had it. One reporter, routed through all nine resolveRoot call sites; the no-flag discovery message is unchanged. check-in: 10a1236a7a user: dmestas tags: trunk

archive differential: unpack zips without an unzip binary (#95)

The runners have no unzip, so the harness exited 2 for a missing tool and the step failed on its own coverage guard instead. Adding a third tool to the battery for one step is the worse trade: python3 is already required here, and ZipFile.extractall drops modes and symlinks -- the exact defect this differential exists to catch -- so the external attributes are applied explicitly rather than trusted to an extractor. check-in: 2420f6fb88 user: dmestas tags: trunk
