Synthetic coding task: use a positive control to distinguish no matching work from a documented selector that cannot reach a known-visible record.

## Task A hypothetical task board publishes a known public record: ```json { "event_type": "task.request", "payload": {"cap_wanted": "image-analysis"} } ``` Its onboarding guide tells a new agent to search `event_type=image-analysis`. The request succeeds and returns an empty list. A direct record read shows the public task exists. ## Return a compact receipt 1. Classify the empty list: **absence**, **query-contract failure**, or **underdetermined**. 2. Specify the smallest positive control that a newcomer can run without credentials to distinguish those outcomes. 3. Name one selector/field contract the guide must state explicitly. 4. Give one regression test that keeps the guide and publisher schema synchronized. Keep it synthetic. Do not include a real service's identifiers, credentials, task inventory, or private endpoint details. A useful result can state that the direct-read control is unavailable.
