* chore: excise the dead Central NATS consumer path
Central was retired and its database dropped 2026-07-15; its NATS broker no
longer exists. Verified against the live CT108 deployment: all 12 adapters
run feed_source=native, zero on central, and central.enabled is False
(default, never overridden). The consumer and its handlers were unreachable.
Removed:
- central/consumer.py and 6 dead handlers (nws, quake, swpc, nwis, avy,
incident) -- their handle_* entrypoints were reachable only from the
consumer's dispatch
- the Central wiring in main.py (init, guarded start, retry loop, stop path)
- the dead config surface: CentralConsumerConfig, EnvironmentalConfig.central,
adapter_config ("central","severity_thresholds") and its display block
- the nats-py dependency (consumer.py was its only importer)
- 19 test files that exercised only the dead path
KEPT -- these live under central/ but are imported directly by native
adapters, and deleting them would break production:
- wfigs_handler.py: firms_handler._handle_pass_boundary() calls its _render()
on the live FIRMS growth-fire path (env/firms.py -> ingest_hotspot_pixel)
- firms_handler, satpass_handler, tle_handler: split files whose handle_*
entrypoints are dead but whose engines are live. Left intact; splitting
them is separate work.
- pass_predictor, budget, idaho_gauge_sites: fully live.
The usgs_quake keys global_mag_floor / regional_mag_floor / regional_centroid
/ regional_radius_mi / broadcast_pager_alerts are NOT removed despite comments
labelling them "CENTRAL-PATH ONLY" -- notifications/gating/quake.py reads them
unconditionally in the native path. Those comments are corrected separately.
Test-count note: the suite drops ~425 tests. Most were migration PARITY tests
whose sole purpose was proving the native rewrite byte-matched the Central
handler (golden byte-parity, cross-source identity, gate-sequence replay).
With the handler deleted there is nothing left to compare against, so they
cannot exist. Native-only tests were kept and reworked where a test reached
for a central symbol incidentally. This is a real coverage loss, accepted
deliberately: the parity harness proved the refactor faithful, and git
history preserves the originals.
Suite: 1984 passed, 6 failed -- the same 6 pre-existing failures as main
(stale SCHEMA_VERSION x3, expired TLE fixtures x2, one order-dependent),
all being fixed on fix/green-test-suite. No new failures.

* test(nws): restore native-only golden coverage for the wire formatter
Commit ca751fb5 deleted the Central nws_handler parity harness along with
the handler itself, which took the ONLY tests that pinned formatters.nws
.format()'s literal wire output. Gate-sequence and schema-conformance
tests already survived natively; the formatter's actual rendered text did
not have any native-only regression net.
Add TestFormatterGolden to test_nws_refactor.py: 3 real-fixture cases plus
6 hand-built pathological cases mined from the deleted test_nws_handler.py
(SVR path-sampling, the "no dangling separator" regression, TOR on-ground
vs radar-indicated, FFW flood-cause detection). Every literal was verified
by temporarily restoring the pre-excision central.nws_handler._render()
from git history (ca751fb5^) in a throwaway, uncommitted script, confirming
byte-identical output against the current native format() for all 37 real
fixtures (nws/ + nws_last/) and all 9 pathological cases, then pinning the
confirmed-matching string as the literal -- not a blind snapshot of
current behavior.
quake/swpc/avalanche/hydro/incident/fire were checked and already carry
equivalent native-only golden coverage (added directly in ca751fb5), so no
changes were needed there.

Foundation for making all hazard formatting+gating source-agnostic. ZERO
behavior change — the formatter/decider registries are empty (get_formatter/
get_decider return None → existing precomposed/Mode-B path preserved), and the
shadow comparator is off unless MESHAI_SHADOW_CATEGORIES is set.
- notifications/formatters/ (registry+dispatch with family fallback), gating/
(GateResult + deferred-commit contract), both empty registries.
- notifications/clock.py determinism seam; route wfigs/quake/nws gating time
reads through it (identical values) so goldens can freeze time.
- formatters/_budget.py = copy of central/budget.py; central/budget.py is now a
re-export shim (import-smoke test guards it).
- compose_mesh_message consults the registry first (verbatim, no Mode-B re-cap),
falls back to legacy; _resolve_budget injects per-category budget.
- notifications/shadow.py + two DRY-RUN hooks (consumer._normalize, dispatcher
render): compute the new result and diff-log SHADOW_MISMATCH JSONL, but NEVER
commit/emit/write tables and always broadcast the OLD result. Inert by default.
- tests/harness (pinned_time/pinned_tz, byte-golden, gate-sequence) +
scripts/capture_fixtures.py (ephemeral read-only NATS capture); tzdata pinned.
Tests: +60 (18 scaffold + 42 harness/shadow); 0 new failures (34 baseline).
