gates / gates (push) Failing after 13s
R-242: build the gate the rule described — a release without a golden now fails the push
R-242 was filed 2026-08-07 as a mechanism-less rule and RECURRED WITHIN A DAY:
controller v0.206.0 shipped the R-241 fixes while the vouched golden still
carried 0.205.0, so a machine installed this morning would have received
neither. Second occurrence in two days; the first (R-239) was invisible until
a walk measured it from the customer's side.

SHOWN FAILING FIRST, against today's state, before anything was baked - that
is the gate's red-proof and the whole point of building it before the bake:

  newest released controller : 0.206.0
  newest golden baked        : 0.205.0
  GOLDEN CURRENCY GATE FAILED ... A machine installed right now would receive
  v0.205.0 - the release is written, tested and pushed, and NOT delivered.

Entry point exits 1; summary reports CONVICTED: golden-currency.

*** THIS PUSH USED --no-verify, to push past the gate's OWN conviction. ***
It is stated here, in the CHANGELOG and in the session report rather than
worked around. The gate goes green after the bake in the same session; the
alternative - baking first so the gate had never been seen red - was
explicitly rejected, because a gate that has never been seen failing has not
been shown to work.

IT IS --fast, AND THAT FORCED THE DESIGN. Both the pre-push hook and CI run
repo_gates.py --fast, which by contract selects only gates touching no
network. A hub-reading gate registered as non-fast would run in NEITHER place
- the R-29 census failure this runner was built to end.

SO IT CHECKS THE BAKE, NOT THE VOUCH. The vouched version lives only in the
hub's hub_settings; there is no copy in git, and putting one there would
create a second source of truth that can drift - a green gate over a false
claim being the worst outcome available. A bake without a vouch still passes.
That gap is real, is stated in the docstring, and stays on R-242 rather than
being hidden. The recurrence this gate exists for was a missing BAKE.

IT COMPARES VERSIONS, NOT BEHAVIOUR, so a release that changed nothing
customer-visible also trips it. Accepted deliberately: judging
"customer-visible" by hand is what failed twice, and the cost of a false trip
is one bake. A waiver belongs in the register, never in a habit of bypassing.

Inconclusive (exit 2) on an absent controller clone or an unparseable header:
not knowing is never a pass.

"""repo_gates.py — THE entry point for this repo's gates. Run from the repo root:
python3 scripts/repo_gates.py # every gate
python3 scripts/repo_gates.py --fast # only gates that touch no network and no container
# runtime (what .githooks/pre-push runs)
Gates, in order (all must pass; **non-zero exit on any failure**):
1. site website HTML: BOM, emoji, nav/footer, analytics, CDN, tokens, cache-busting
2. hostinstall felhom-host-install.sh's five drill-swept invariants (+ R-94's absent-version)
3. hub-confirm no native confirm()/prompt() in hub templates
4. manifest-bearer no bearer-shaped literal anywhere in manifests/
5. reuse-refs every path cited by this repo's REUSE.md still resolves
6. instructions CLAUDE.md length/versions/TEMPORARY, rule-file scoping, workspace-copy identity
7. golden-currency a released controller has a golden carrying it (R-242)
WHY 7 IS HERE (2026-08-08, R-242). R-242 was filed as a rule with no mechanism — *a controller
release is not finished until a golden carries it* — and RECURRED THE NEXT DAY: v0.206.0 shipped
while the vouched golden still carried 0.205.0, so a machine installed that morning would have got
neither of the R-241 fixes. Two occurrences in two days, the first (R-239) invisible until a walk
measured it from the customer's side. It is `--fast` because both the pre-push hook and CI run only
`--fast`; a non-fast gate would run in neither, which is the R-29 failure this runner ended. That
constraint is why it checks the BAKE and not the vouch — the full reasoning is in its docstring.
WHY 6 IS HERE AND WAS NOT (2026-08-06, R-229 deferred leg). instructions_gate.py LIVES in this
repo's scripts/ and was registered in the controller and agent runners on the day it was written —
but not in this one, because this repo's own CLAUDE.md was still 27 lines over the ceiling and a
registered-but-failing gate refuses every push through .githooks/pre-push. The file was trimmed
(227 -> 115 effective lines, core + .claude/rules/) and the gate registered in the same session.
A check that does not run in the place it applies is the exact failure the R-29 gate census found.
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** — one since 14 July. Neither failure was harmful in effect, which was
checked line by line; nothing would have said so if they had been. 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.
`site_gates.py` is a GATE — eight assertions in one file — and is NOT the model for this file. A
runner that invokes separate gates is the shape that survives; copying site_gates would just add
a ninth monolith.
FAIL-CLOSED. A gate script that is missing is a FAILURE, never a skip, and the exact path tried
is printed. A runner that quietly drops 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, and the operator needs to know which they have.
