A file that carries no anchor is not read for citations

outcome

Execute the anchored-file rule on a test file with no anchor that names a pinned declaration's address.

assumptions

• The world writes the probe corpus of the test-title example and the same test file without its test anchor, derives the graph and reads the Spec context's entry citations.

Examples

Given a probe corpus whose Spec pins the declaration {declaration: "spec:probe.one#design.typeOne"}
Given a source file that {anchored: "carries no anchor"} and names the address {address: "spec:probe.one#design.typeOne"} on line {line: 9}
When the graph is derived
Then the Spec context lists {citations: 0} entry citations
Then the citation {recorded: "is not recorded"}
