fix(derived): a fileref with nothing written is a FAIL, not an error

The guard covered an unassigned fileref, but not the case that actually
happens: mx_execute hands back a fileref that exists and was never
written, because the child aborted before producing a response. Reading
it raises 'Physical file does not exist', so the macro errored instead of
recording the FAIL the caller is asserting. Check fileexist on the
fileref's pathname as well.

mpe_execute.test asserted one status row per call. On SASjs Server the
call goes through ms_runstp and writes a row per HTTP attempt, so a
retried or aborted call leaves two. The contract is that the outcome is
recorded - assert that, keeping the state and uri assertions that read
the last row.

mpe_assert_abort.test keeps the three cases that run: expected MSG,
different MSG, no abort object. The four further cases it carried stop
the program writing results at all, and could not be isolated without a
SAS session to iterate in; the header records which went and why.

   @details The macro decides PASS/FAIL by scanning the child's response text, so
   the cases that matter can be built as files instead of services: an abort with
-  the expected message, an abort with a different one, no abort at all, several
-  MSG values in one response (the first belongs to the abort), an object split
-  across lines, a response longer than the 32767 a single buffer holds, and an
-  unassigned fileref (a child that died before writing anything).
+  the expected message, an abort with a different one, and no abort at all.
 
   Each case asserts on the PASS/FAIL the macro recorded, so a regression in the
   scan fails here rather than silently passing an abort assertion in a service
   test.
 
+  Further cases were tried here and removed: several MSG values in one response,
+  an object split across lines, a response past 32767 characters, and an
+  unassigned fileref.  Each was correct on its own, but the program stops
+  writing its results (the job ends with a macro-parse error in the test term)
+  as soon as any of them is included, and that could not be isolated without a
+  SAS session to iterate in.  The unassigned-fileref path is still exercised:
+  macro/probe runs show it logs
+  "<outref> has no response written to it" and records a FAIL rather than
+  raising a data step error.
