+Tests for the Phase 1 invariant contract of result_migration_gui_2_20260619.
+
+This file locks the Phase 1 site inventory contract: there are exactly 42
+migration-target error-handling sites in src/gui_2.py. Both tests are static
+invariants that must pass before Phase 1 closes and Phase 2 begins:
+
+- test_phase_1_inventory_has_42_rows: parses the markdown inventory table
+  (tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY.md) and asserts the Site Inventory
+  table contains exactly 42 rows.
+- test_phase_1_audit_has_42_migration_target_sites: invokes the audit script
+  (scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --src src --json), finds the
+  src/gui_2.py file record, and counts the sites whose category is in the
+  migration-target set (i.e., NOT INTERNAL_COMPLIANT, NOT
+  INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE, NOT BOUNDARY_*).
+
+The migration-target category set is defined per
+conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md as: any category that is not one
+of the 5 "leave-as-is" categories. The migration-target sites are the ones
+the Phase 2-N migration will touch; the leave-as-is categories are legitimate
+non-migration patterns (compliant internal try/except, programmer raises,
+and the 3 boundary categories).
