## Objective

Make the verification ladder executable and documented so contributors know when to run fast crate tests, `html-examples-smoke`, and the full xtask authority wrapper.

## Authority

`README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and `REQUIREMENTS.md` `test/004`, `test/006`, `test/015`, and `test/016` already define the tier boundary and full local timeout expectation.

## Close when

- README/agent guidance names fast crate tests, focused browser smoke, and full xtask authority separately.
- `cargo run -p hemx-xtask -- test` remains the full wrapper rather than being bypassed by an undocumented shard.
- Any shard split is deterministic and documented under the xtask wrapper.

## Verification

- `cargo run -p hemx-xtask -- html-examples-smoke`
- `cargo run -p hemx-xtask -- test`
- `redgate health --strict`

## Non-goals

- Do not add a new test harness outside xtask.
- Do not split the full wrapper unless the measured runtime exceeds the budget.

## Evidence

The current full wrapper has passed locally within the documented 10 minute budget; this slice preserves that authority and makes future splitting explicit only when needed.
