A target without an example space refuses an oracle

outcome

Execute the fail-closed refusal when an otherwise valid Spec target owns no example space.

Examples

Given the oracle targets a {targetKind: "behavior"} spec
Given the target owns an example space: {ownsExampleSpace: false}
When oracle linkage is resolved
Then oracle linkage reports {findingCount: 1} findings and resolving presence {oraclePresent: false}
