Explains and fixes the Phase C partial failure WITHOUT changing a single wire field.
The operator saw a difference between the one-item probe (Time Remaining "-") and the
generalized rows (Time Remaining "Expired"). Cause: route coverage, not encoding.
/tradePile advertised the unlisted tradeIds while ISVIEWTRADE (GET .../trade/status)
resolved ids from the market store only -- and an unlisted pile member has no listing
row, so the poll returned an empty auctionInfo. Observed live as
`route=market-status requested=1 returned=0` repeating for the row the operator had
selected, while that same id was present in /tradePile. The client polls status for
the row it displays and degrades it when the answer is empty, which is also why no
actions were offered. The probe showed "-" only because the client had not yet polled
that id (logs of the time show only tradeIds=1000000097).
So expires, tradeState, itemData.itemState and pile were all innocent. Nothing was
guessed and no field changed: both routes now share one pile enumeration
(Server::resolve_trade_pile), so an id advertised by /tradePile always resolves on
/trade/status. The corpus predicted exactly this -- tradeId must resolve across
/transfermarket, /tradePile, /watchList AND /trade/status; we had stability but not
coverage. Same defect class as the original empty-trade/status bug.
Status still answers only the ids actually asked about, and a real auction always wins
over an inactive row for the same tradeId. Regression test covers all four cases.
Records the downgraded conclusion: "inactive" is a CONFIRMED section/lifecycle
discriminator; whether the full actionable contract is now complete is the operator's
next test. itemState/pile recovery was queued on the assumption the encoding was
incomplete -- neither was touched, and both remain the next candidates if actions are
still absent.
342 tests pass, 0 failed, clippy clean. Verified live: the six inactive ids went from
returned=0 to returned=6.
