chore(tooling): prune 7 stale file-size exceptions that were hiding real warnings

[runyourempire]

Why

EXCEPTIONS in scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs is consulted before any size comparison:

if (EXCEPTIONS[normalized]) continue;

So an entry suppresses the warn tier as well as the error tier. An entry for a file that is no longer over the error threshold is not a harmless leftover — it silently hides a legitimate warning, and it disarms the hard limit on a file that may keep growing.

Seven entries were in that state. All line counts below were measured with the gate's own countLines(), not wc.

Removed

Entry	Lines	Warn	Error	Why it's stale
src-tauri/src/analysis_rerank.rs	866	700	1000	Entry was self-described TEMPORARY, owed a split back to #423. #430 (02c105d9) did the split (1032 → 866) but only touched the two .rs files — it never removed the exception it was owed.
src/components/preemption/PreemptionCard.tsx	388	350	500	Justification claimed "9 lines over". It is 38 over warn and 112 under error — the stated reason was false.
src/components/enterprise/SsoConfigPanel.tsx	355	350	500	Justification claimed "5 lines over". 5 over warn, 145 under error.
src-tauri/src/scoring/pipeline_tests.rs	deleted	700	1000	File was deleted in #421. Same class as the five dead entries #421 already swept — it missed this one.
src-tauri/src/settings/types.rs	908	700	1000	Under error; was hiding a warning.
src/store/slice-types.ts	446	300	500	Under error; was hiding a warning.
src-tauri/src/sources/adapter_resilience_tests.rs	1802	n/a	2000	Test file, so warn-exempt — removing it changes no output today, but it left the 2000-line hard limit silently unenforceable on a file that is actively grown.

Kept

Every other entry is genuinely over its error threshold and is doing its job — those were left alone.

One deliberate keep that looks like a miss: src/types/i18n-resources.d.ts does not resolve on disk, but it is gitignored and generated by pnpm run i18n:types, which validate:all runs before this gate. That is already documented inline; the entry stays.

src-tauri/src/briefing_pipeline_tests.rs is a different file from the deleted scoring/pipeline_tests.rs and was never in the map.

Verification

before:  42 file(s) approaching size limits (warnings only).   exit 0
after:   47 file(s) approaching size limits (warnings only).   exit 0

The 5 new warnings are exactly the suppressed files now reporting honestly (settings/types.rs 908, analysis_rerank.rs 866, slice-types.ts 446, PreemptionCard.tsx 388, SsoConfigPanel.tsx 355).

No file crosses an ERROR threshold, so the pre-commit gate cannot block the fleet — the failure mode that took every developer offline on 2026-08-14 (#423 → #430). Every consumer of this script (.husky/pre-commit, the repo-guards CI job, build-guardian.cjs, compound-quality-check.cjs, sentinel-scan.cjs) keys on exit code or ERROR lines only, so warnings are safe everywhere.

Also verified: after this change every remaining entry passes the "file exists and is over its error threshold" test, except the documented generated-file case above.

Scope

scripts/check-file-sizes.cjs only — 12 deletions, no source file touched, nothing split.

4 of the 7 (pipeline_tests.rs, settings/types.rs, slice-types.ts, adapter_resilience_tests.rs) were found by auditing all 38 entries rather than being named up front. Each is an independent line and can be dropped in review without affecting the others.

Hook note

This worktree has no node_modules, so .husky/_ does not exist and core.hooksPath resolves to nothing — git silently ran no hooks. --no-verify was not used. The gates were run manually instead, all green:

check-file-sizes · check-doc-location · check-llm-gate-honesty · check-vanity-metrics · check-release-channel · i18n-guard · validate-boundary-calls · compound-quality-check · push-range scan-secrets --diff-added · private-asset-guard

Not runnable here (no node_modules): tsc, ESLint, and the frontend suite. This change is a Node tooling script with no TypeScript or frontend surface; CI's required gates cover them.
