test: cover valid object-field subtraction

 ## Unreleased
 
+### Complete numeric object-field arithmetic coverage
+
+- Added a focused positive typecheck fixture for numeric subtraction in an object field.
+- Added the fixture to both the complete typecheck diagnostics validator and `claro validate`, keeping valid subtraction beside the existing division/multiplication positives and text-operand diagnostics.
+
 ### Complete typecheck fixture validation
 
 - Added regression coverage requiring the focused typecheck validator to list every `typecheck_*.claro` fixture, plus the existing object-field validation script.

+Valid numeric subtraction is covered too:

+```claro
+SET player.score 10
+SET player.score player.score - 2

+
+The focused typecheck validation keeps this valid subtraction example beside the existing valid multiplication and division examples, so a useful expression is not confused with a nearby text-operand mistake.

 TEXT-valued and YESNO-valued field-name mistakes are validated too:

 Still needed:
 - Keep the focused typecheck validator's fixture list complete as new positive and negative examples are added.
-- The expression checker now carries a known TEXT operand through all arithmetic operators so object-field diagnostics do not hide subtraction, multiplication, or division mistakes; focused numeric-division and numeric-multiplication positives plus text-operand subtraction, multiplication, and division negatives protect this behavior. Subtraction, multiplication, and division name the text operand and explain that the operator needs NUMBER values.

 3b. Keep package security validation in Forgejo/Gitea CI so unsafe names, exact manifest-version/name/version/checksum mismatches, missing manifests, duplicate project manifest versions and packages, duplicate lock packages, duplicate package manifest names, versions, and checksums, and lockfile errors remain release blockers.
 4. Add small examples for each foundation feature before adding bigger syntax. The object-field foundation now includes positive and negative validation for field expressions such as `SET player.score player.name`, `SET player.score player.score + 1`, `SET player.name player.score + 1`, explicitly typed field assignments, simple and chained aliases such as `SET alias player`, `SET backup alias`, followed by `SET backup.score ...` or `CHECK TYPE backup.score IS ...`, chained aliases in object-method calls through both modern `DO` and compatibility `CALL ... WITH` forms (including a dedicated positive modern `DO` fixture), and arithmetic/text expression mismatches; typed containers also accept a map with nested type metadata when it is added to a `LIST OF MAP`; broader alias/control-flow checking remains planned.
 5. Keep the focused typecheck validator complete: every `typecheck_*.claro` fixture, including positive fixtures, must be exercised by release validation.
-6. Continue narrowing expression diagnostics: known TEXT operands now remain visible through non-concatenation arithmetic, with focused numeric-division and numeric-multiplication positives plus text-operand subtraction, multiplication, and division coverage. Subtraction, multiplication, and division give operator-specific guidance naming the text operand.
