The changed file (
scripts/run_behave_parallel.py) lives inscripts/— outside thesrc/cleveragents/4-layer package. This is the correct location for test runner tooling. No architecture layer violations; no cross-layer imports; only stdlib modules (subprocess,os) are used.Module Boundaries ✅

_is_btrfs_or_overlayfs()has no docstring; other private functions in this file do. Consider adding one in a follow-up.spawnmultiprocessing start method" but the implementation uses sequential fallback instead. The implementation is correct and more reliable — the description is slightly misleading but does not affect correctness.if not mount_real:afteros.path.realpath()is alwaysFalse(realpath never returns an empty string). Harmless but could be removed.None of these observations block merge.
