# T-1534: Unit test for web.shared.extract_recommendation_verdict

## Context

T-1533 factored `extract_recommendation_verdict()` into `web.shared`, used by handover.sh (via duplicated regex), `approvals.py`, and `cockpit.py`. Without a regression test the helper is at L-293-class risk: a future reader could re-introduce H2-only terminator and silently swallow appended Updates. Mirror the test pattern used for T-1527 (`tests/unit/test_inception_decision_keyword_check.py`).

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] `tests/unit/test_extract_recommendation_verdict.py` exists with at minimum: GO present, DEFER present, NO-GO present, missing-section returns "?", appended Updates entry containing the keyword does NOT pollute extraction (L-293 regression)
- [x] All tests pass: `python3 -m pytest tests/unit/test_extract_recommendation_verdict.py -v`
- [x] Tests import the actual helper from `web.shared` (not a re-implemented copy) so the test catches future regressions

## Verification

python3 -m pytest tests/unit/test_extract_recommendation_verdict.py -v
test -f tests/unit/test_extract_recommendation_verdict.py
grep -q "from web.shared import extract_recommendation_verdict" tests/unit/test_extract_recommendation_verdict.py

## Recommendation

**Recommendation:** GO

**Rationale:** Closes the factor-and-test loop on `extract_recommendation_verdict()` (T-1533). 10 tests cover GO/DEFER/NO-GO presence, missing/empty body, no-verdict-in-section, case insensitivity, HTML comment handling, multiple-section edge case, and the L-293 appended-Updates regression specifically. The L-293 test is the load-bearing one — if a future reader switches to H2-only terminator, that test fails immediately.

**Evidence:**
- `tests/unit/test_extract_recommendation_verdict.py` — 10 tests, all PASS in 0.13s
- Imports the actual helper from `web.shared` (not a copy) — regressions in the helper will fail the test
- L-293 appended-Updates test mirrors the original bug shape from T-1527 / T-1519 / T-1526
