+### Changed
+- The real-hub CI job now also installs pinned, checksum-verified real pmd, solhint, hadolint, bandit, ruff and actionlint and asserts each is reported as ran with its expected rule id on a fictional canary file, extending the tfsec, ansible-lint, rubocop and cfn-lint smoke so a changed flag or report shape in these six scanners fails CI instead of passing on stubs alone.

+### Fixed
+- The review hub's solhint canary now runs from its throwaway directory. solhint 6.x aborts with a RangeError (exit 255, no output) on a file outside its working directory, so the canary never raised avoid-tx-origin and solhint was reported as not run. The fail-closed guard is unchanged.
+- test-review-checks-real-hub.sh no longer prints "Broken pipe" when it shows a tool's raw output after a failure.
