A Route-C fit-check whose weights were already downloaded showed a
self-contradiction: the verdict card hardcoded "→ Press [D] to download +
serve" while the weights-line below it correctly said "✓ weights on disk →
② Serve". [D] is not only download — for a Route-C brought model it emits the
serve-locally swap compose that ② Serve then serves — so it can't simply be
hidden.
Fix (presence-aware, "② Serve owns the emission"):
- _byo_result_text takes weights_present (probed once in the fit-check
handler, feeding BOTH the card and the weights-line so they can't disagree).
On disk → the card points at ② Serve, no [D]; absent → the [D] download
prompt as before.
- pull.sh gains --emit-only (with --apply-swap): passes do_download=False so
apply_swap emits the serve compose WITHOUT downloading — the present-weights
path.
- action_serve_untested: Route-C + weights present + no swap compose yet →
run_bring_emit_and_serve emits via pull.sh --apply-swap --emit-only, then
serves it. So a present-weights brought model serves straight from ② Serve
with no [D] step.
Tests: fixed test_bring_result_points_forward_to_serve (stale since #628 — it
asserted "→ ② Serve" on an absent-weights card that now honestly shows [D]);
added test_bring_result_present_points_to_serve (present → ② Serve, no [D]);
extended the run_bring_download test for --emit-only. 139 touched-surface
tests pass; pull.sh --emit-only validated end-to-end.
