+## Every open row has a category and a severity (2026-10-03, backlog triage, Part C)
+
+- `register_shape_gate.py` **RULES 5–8**: a register row splits (pipes outside backticks) into exactly the cells its
+  table header declares, and the header has `ID`, `Category`, `Sev`, `What`, `State`, `Owner` (5); the Category is
+  one of the eleven (6); the Sev is `P1`–`P4` (7); the State leads with a defined word (8). `OPEN-ITEMS.md` now reads
+  `| ID | Category | Sev | What | State | Blocked on | Next action | Owner |`, one section per category.
+- `test_gate_decoys.py`: the register-shape fixture moved to the new header; five new decoys — an old-shape row
+  under the new header, a near-miss category, `P3-LOW` as a Sev, an undefined state word, a pipe outside backticks.
+  **All five passed the previous gate — seen red** — and all five convict now.
+
 ## The open register refuses a finished row (2026-10-03, backlog triage)

 - `closed_register_gate.py` **RULE 3**: no row in `OPEN-ITEMS.md` may LEAD its `State` cell with a finished word
