    Remove branch coverage wallpaper

    Claude was supposed to put these guards in where the test was actually invariant. The ssh-arch.c one was like that, but pretty much all of
    the others were just current code behaviour, not invariants.

    In short, Claude can't be trusted to do this work, it sees it as
    a handy back-door way to get 100% branch coverage without writing
    tests, which makes it worthless.

    Claude has been not great lately.
