gates: one entry point (controller/scripts/controller_gates.py) + pre-push hook

A census of all thirteen gate scripts across the four felhom repos on 2026-08-02 found that
every check a CLAUDE.md names was passing and two of the four nobody is told to run were
failing. This repo had seven gates and CLAUDE.md named two; four more were reachable only via
a line in REUSE.md, and docker_run_volume_path_gate.py — RED at census time — through one line
in REUSE.md and nothing else.

controller_gates.py runs all seven plus reuse_refs_check on the repo root, streams each gate's
own output, and exits worst-wins non-zero. The shared reuse checker stays in felhom.eu/scripts/
and is invoked across the workspace — never copied here, which would recreate the drift it
detects; an absent sibling clone FAILS the gate and prints the path tried.

.githooks/pre-push runs it with --fast and refuses the push. Per-clone and --no-verify-able,
both stated in the hook itself; a manual run WARNS when the clone is unarmed.

test_controller_gates.py is a SEAM test — it asserts each member gate's own distinctive stdout,
not the runner's summary line. Red-proofed: an inert run_gate still prints 'all controller
gates OK' and exits 0, and turns the seam test red.

Tooling only: no Go change, no image build, no deploy, no version bump.

# pre-push — refuse a push that carries a broken gate. (2026-08-02, R-29 leg (b) first half.)
#
# Runs this repo's ONE gate entry point in --fast mode: only checks that touch no network and no
# container runtime, so a push stays a push and never pulls images or starts containers. The slow
# gates stay deliberate periodic runs; a hook that takes minutes gets bypassed within a week and
# the bypass becomes the habit.
#
# BOTH LINES BELOW ARE DELIBERATE. An absent log line is not evidence a hook ran — a silent pass is
# equally consistent with "gates green" and "hook never fired", so a passing push says so out loud.
#
# HONEST LIMITS, stated so this is not mistaken for enforcement it cannot provide:
# * per-clone — core.hooksPath is local config and a clone does not carry it. Arm a clone once:
# git config core.hooksPath .githooks
# Any manual entry-point run WARNS when the clone is unarmed.
# * skippable — `git push --no-verify` bypasses this entirely. That is on purpose: an escape
# hatch that cannot be reached is one that gets removed the first time it is
# inconvenient. USING IT MUST BE STATED IN THE SESSION REPORT.
# The half that is neither per-clone nor skippable is CI — felhom.eu OPEN-ITEMS.md R-168.
#
# Measured 2026-08-02 (git 2.47.3): a relative core.hooksPath resolves correctly and the hook's cwd
# is the repo root whether `git push` is issued from the root or from any subdirectory. The
# explicit rev-parse below does not depend on that.

`docker_run_volume_path_gate` — plus `reuse_refs_check` on the repo root, streaming each gate's
own output and exiting non-zero if any fails. `--fast` selects the gates that touch no network and
no container runtime; today that is all of them. A missing gate script is a FAILURE, never a skip.

**The shared `reuse_refs_check.py` lives in `felhom.eu/scripts/` and is never copied here**
a copy would recreate the drift it detects; an absent sibling clone FAILS the gate.
**The pre-push hook** (`.githooks/pre-push`) runs it with `--fast` and refuses a failing push. It
is per-clone — switch it on once with `git config core.hooksPath .githooks`, and a manual run
WARNS when this clone is unarmed. `git push --no-verify` bypasses it deliberately; **say so in the
session report when you use it.** Both facts are why CI is still owed (`OPEN-ITEMS.md` R-168).

Gates, in order (all must pass; **non-zero exit on any failure**):
1. template-id every template id/handle referenced by the dashboard resolves
2. emoji no emoji in the Hungarian UI (design-system v2)
3. native-confirm no native confirm()/prompt() — they freeze browser automation
4. offbox-rename the persisted `offbox` key is never re-guessed as `offbox_target`
5. app-row-dedup no duplicated app-row markup in the dashboard templates
6. mojibake no double-encoded UTF-8 in Hungarian copy

WHY THIS FILE EXISTS (2026-08-02, closing R-29 leg (a) and half of leg (b)).
A census of all thirteen gate scripts across the four felhom repos 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.** Of the seven gates above, this repo's CLAUDE.md named exactly two; four
were reachable only through a line in REUSE.md, and `docker_run_volume_path_gate.py` — RED at the
time of the census — through one line in REUSE.md and nothing else. The fix is not more gates, it
is one place to run them from. `app-catalog-felhom.eu/scripts/catalog_gates.py` is the canonical
shape (R-161) and this copies it deliberately rather than inventing a second one.
THE SHARED CHECKER. `reuse_refs_check.py` lives in ONE place — `felhom.eu/scripts/` — and is
invoked here across the workspace at `<repo-root>/../felhom.eu/scripts/`. It is deliberately NOT
copied into this repo: duplicating it would recreate exactly the drift it exists to detect. If the
sibling clone is absent the gate FAILS and prints the path it tried — fail-closed, because a
runner that quietly skips a gate is the inert-seam failure this project has shipped four times.
EXIT CODES. Each gate returns 0 clean / 1 convicted / 2 inconclusive. This runner exits non-zero
if any gate is non-zero, and reports 2 distinctly as INCONCLUSIVE — an undetermined result is
never a pass, but it is not a conviction either.
