# REPORT — this repo gets a place to put a gate (2026-08-02)

**Overwritten** per the standing rule. The prior contents (the host report carries the box's
addresses, agent v0.119.0, 2026-07-31) have their durable record in `CHANGELOG.md` and
`felhom.eu/documentation/audits/host-addresses-visible-2026-07-31.md`; nothing was lost.

**No version bump, no build, no deploy.** Nothing compiled changed — this touches `scripts/` and
`.githooks/` only. Stated explicitly so the omission reads as a decision rather than a miss. The
agent stays **v0.119.0** and no binary was copied to any host.

## What changed

| Commit | What |
|---|---|
| `054e85a` | `scripts/agent_gates.py` + `scripts/test_agent_gates.py` + `.githooks/pre-push` + `CLAUDE.md` |
| `75245a4` | `CHANGELOG.md` |

Baseline on arrival: `4663df7ff3cc`, clean, `HEAD == origin/main` — matched the spec's anchor.

## Why this repo got an entry point with exactly one gate

A census of all thirteen gate scripts across the four felhom repos on 2026-08-02 found one clean
correlation: **every check a `CLAUDE.md` tells a person to run was passing, and two of the four
nobody is told to run were failing** — one since 14 July. **This repo was the extreme case: nothing
at all ran against it, and its `REUSE.md` — 90 cited paths — was checked by no one.**

`scripts/agent_gates.py` runs `reuse_refs_check` over this repo's `REUSE.md`, streams its output and
exits worst-wins non-zero. One gate is the honest size of it today; the file exists so the agent is
not the one repo with nowhere to put a check, and so the pre-push hook has the same entry point in
all four repos. It grows when the agent grows a second gate.

**The shared checker is never copied here.** `reuse_refs_check.py` stays in `felhom.eu/scripts/` and
is invoked at `<repo-root>/../felhom.eu/scripts/`; a copy would recreate exactly the drift it detects.
**A missing sibling clone is a FAILURE with the path printed, never a skip** — fail-closed, because a
runner that quietly drops a gate is the inert-seam failure this project has shipped four times.
`test_agent_gates.py` pins that by copying the entry point into a lone directory with no sibling and
asserting it convicts.

The 90 citations now resolve as **88 exact, 1 by suffix** (`localapi/debuglogs_test.go` →
`internal/localapi/debuglogs_test.go`) and **1 cross-repo** (`hub/internal/store/dr_recipe.go`, which
lives in the hub), 0 failures. None of them was genuine drift — the checker was what needed fixing,
not the REUSE map.

## `.githooks/pre-push`

Runs `agent_gates.py --fast` and refuses the push, printing a line before and after because an absent
log line is not evidence a hook ran. Limits, written into the hook itself: **per-clone**
(`core.hooksPath` is local config; this clone is armed — `git config --get core.hooksPath` →
`.githooks`) and **`git push --no-verify` bypasses it on purpose**, which must be stated in a session
report when used. It was **not** used against this repo; both real pushes ran the hook and passed.
The half that is neither per-clone nor skippable is CI — `felhom.eu` `OPEN-ITEMS.md` **R-168**.

## Verification

```
  reuse-refs         OK            (exit 0)

all agent gates OK
```

`python3 scripts/test_agent_gates.py` → **4 tests, OK** (0 before). No Go file was touched, so no Go
test count changed.
