The gate failed on main 12a64702 with two LATE_KNOWN entries that no longer match anything:
dashboard-plus-grid.vue#reflectDir and research-map-plus-grid.vue#reflectDir. Landing 11 fixed both —
reflectDir now captures the instance in setup, so a host switching lang to ar after mount does get
dir=rtl — and the exemptions stayed behind.
That is the gate working as designed: it refuses an exemption that has stopped describing anything,
because a stale entry is a defect it would quietly stop reporting. Both entries are deleted, and the
note left in their place says why rather than leaving a bare gap.
Gate only, no product code, no rebuild. composite-interop rc=0 after.
9384c1ba (simpleresearch) captures the instance in setup, so research-map.vue's
map-filtered is dispatched again, and the gate correctly reported the leftover
LATE_KNOWN entry as stale. It failed on main 688ba6cf with exactly that one
finding. With the entry removed, the gate passes and enforces the rule for
research-map.vue again. The two reflectDir entries stay: those sites are
unchanged.
A composite is a composite because its children talk, and every link is a name
written in two files that nothing ties together. Rename it on one side and the
build stays green while the link silently disappears. The interop matrix also
found the other silent way a link dies: research-map.vue looked up its host with
getCurrentInstance() inside a watcher callback, where Vue returns null, so
map-filtered was never sent, and the only proof had used a synthetic event.
Headless, in about a second:
- A: each link's send pattern is in the sender and its listen pattern in the
receiver (17 links across 7 composites).
- B: the literal is in every built bundle that ships an end of the link.
- C: every capability-4 composite is mapped, or states why it has no links
(stack-demo).
- D: no getCurrentInstance() inside a plain function in plugin-designs/ or
library/. The three routed sites are printed as KNOWN, and an entry left
behind after its fix fails.
Negative-tested on 521f8b18, and each of these fails: a receiver renamed in
source, a built bundle out of step, an unmapped composite, a new late
getCurrentInstance (one-line function, arrow, multi-line), and a stale KNOWN
entry. check:no-orphan-gates, check:script-flags and check:quoted-scripts pass.
It is not wired into gates:post; that is the build owner's call.
