-Give the healthcheck a self-test and a machine-readable mode
+Add a --strict mode to the healthcheck and keep the pinned usage text honest
 
 - Project: test-e2e
-- Source: gitea:test-e2e/10
+- Source: gitea:test-e2e/12
 - Priority: 0
 
 ## Instructions
 
-Three pieces of work, in order. Plan them as exactly three phases in that order.
+Three phases, in this order.
 
-## Phase 1 — a self-test for the healthcheck
+## Phase 1 — `--strict` on the healthcheck
 
-New file `scripts/orchestra_e2e_selftest.sh`, executable, `#!/usr/bin/env bash`.
+`scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh --strict` must reject an unrecognised flag: print `unknown flag: <flag>` on stderr and exit 2. Without `--strict` the current silent-ignore behaviour is unchanged, and `--help` still wins over everything.
 
-It runs `scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh`, then asserts:
+Automated verification only:
 
-- exit status is 0
-- stdout contains `OK`
-
-On failure it prints which assertion failed and exits 1. On success it prints `selftest: ok` and exits 0.
-
-Verification for this phase is automated only. The one check is:
-
-    - run: ["bash", "-n", "scripts/orchestra_e2e_selftest.sh"]
-
-Do not add a manual step to this phase.
-
-## Phase 2 — `--json` on the healthcheck
-
-`scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh --json` prints exactly one line:
-
-    {"status":"ok","checks":1}
-
-and exits 0. Without `--json` the existing human output is unchanged, and `--help` keeps working. `--json` and `--help` together behave as `--help`.
-
-Verification for this phase must include both an automated check and a manual step. The JSON shape is a judgement a human confirms by reading it, so state the manual step as the exact command a human runs and the exact line they should see.
-
-## Phase 3 — teach the self-test about `--json`
-
-Extend `scripts/orchestra_e2e_selftest.sh` to run the healthcheck twice: once plain and once with `--json`. Assert the plain run still contains `OK`, and assert the `--json` run prints one line beginning with `{"status":`.
-
-Verification for this phase is automated only:
-
-    - run: ["bash", "-n", "scripts/orchestra_e2e_selftest.sh"]
+    - run: ["bash", "-n", "scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh"]
     - run: ["bash", "scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh"]
 
+## Phase 2 — cover `--strict` in the self-test
+
+Extend `scripts/orchestra_e2e_selftest.sh` so it asserts that `--strict --nonsense` exits 2 and that `--strict` alone still exits 0.
+
+Automated verification only:
+
+    - run: ["bash", "-n", "scripts/orchestra_e2e_selftest.sh"]
+
+## Phase 3 — keep the pinned usage text honest
+
+`scripts/test_healthcheck.sh` pins the healthcheck's exact `--help` output in a hardcoded `USAGE` variable and compares with string equality. Phase 1 adds `--strict`, so that pinned text must be updated in place to match, and the pinned comparison must keep passing.
+
+Work from the `USAGE` variable that is already in `scripts/test_healthcheck.sh`. Do not rewrite the file's structure.
+
+Automated verification for this phase must run the pinned test itself:
+
+    - run: ["bash", "scripts/test_healthcheck.sh"]
+
 ## Constraints
 
 The project's verification policy allows exactly two command shapes:

 ## Research first
 
-Before planning, establish at least three findings and label their confidence honestly: at least one `fact`, one `inference`, and one `assumption`. The plan must cite at least two of them in References.
