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.
