d08edbc957 Watch only the directories the library index is generated from
check:library-index failed, naming library/scripts/research/build-trade-languages.mjs
as the reason the component menu was stale. That file is a build script. The
menu is a catalogue of reusable components, composables and utilities, and
generate-library-index.mjs reads exactly three directories — components/,
composables/, utils/ — so a change to a build script cannot alter one byte of
the output.

The gate walked all of library/. Measured: 75 files are indexed, 173 are not —
scripts/ 58, i18n/ 98, plus data/, layouts/, api/ and constants/. It watched 2.3
times more than the thing it guards, while its own comment said "Newest source
the generator actually scans", which is exactly what it did not do.

It fired for real: adding a comment to a build script two commits ago turned it
red. That is the expensive kind of false positive, because the remedy looks
cheap — regenerate and move on — and a gate that asks for a pointless
regeneration teaches the reader to do it on reflex, which is how a staleness
check stops being read at all.

Now scoped to the three indexed directories, with a note that the scope must be
extended in the same commit if the generator ever adds a section().

Negative-tested both directions rather than only confirming the fix: touching
library/composables/useMapFly.js still FAILS and names it; touching the build
script again PASSES. The gate discriminates where it could not before.

Worth recording that the regenerated index came out byte-identical — git reports
only the gate file as modified. That is the claim made concrete: the change
which had been failing this gate could not affect its output.

Five gates pass.

1ddfde6b6b Make the two gates say where the tree name came from
Last tick I fixed a dead config read in check-composite-srcs and
check-nested-token, and logged the lesson as an anti-pattern whose advice was:
make the successful path observable — print what was READ, not just what was
used. I did not take my own advice, so this applies it.

Both gates printed "checked against public/doxa-maps/" whether the name came
from the build config or from the hardcoded fallback. Those two states were
indistinguishable in the output, which is precisely why a permanently-failing
read survived unnoticed: nobody was ever going to rename the tree, so the only
thing that could have exposed it was the output, and the output said nothing.

They now print the source. A green run reads "(tree name from
vite.doxa-maps-build-config.json)"; with the read broken it reads "(tree name
from built-in default (build config unreadable))". Negative-tested by pointing
the read at a nonexistent filename and confirming the line changes, then
restoring and confirming it changes back.

Also corrects a comment I got wrong yesterday. The note explaining the bug said
the gate "said vite.doxa-maps-build-config.json — the pre-rename project name",
which is the NEW name; my sed had rewritten the string inside the prose that
described the OLD one. It now names vite.1040-maps-build-config.json, which is
what was actually there. A correction note that misstates what it corrects is
worse than none, because the next reader takes it as the record.

Six gates pass.

0235b75394 Read the build config that exists, so two gates stop passing by coincidence
check-composite-srcs and check-nested-token-delivery both resolve the output
tree name from the build config, with a comment explaining why the fallback
matters: "Defaulting silently would make this gate check a directory the build
never writes."

Both named vite.1040-maps-build-config.json — the pre-rename project name. That
file does not exist. So the try ALWAYS threw, the catch ALWAYS fired, and the
tree name was ALWAYS the hardcoded default. The read was dead code, and the
gates have been correct only because the default happens to equal the config's
current name, which really is "doxa-maps".

The comment described an intent the code had stopped delivering, which is the
part worth fixing rather than the string. Rename the tree in the build config
and both gates would have walked public/doxa-maps while the build wrote
somewhere else, then SKIPped with "an absent tree is not evidence either way" —
silent, delayed, and the exact outcome that comment exists to prevent.

Proved the read now runs rather than assuming it: parsing
vite.doxa-maps-build-config.json succeeds and yields name "doxa-maps". Then
negative-tested by renaming the tree in the config — the gate now FOLLOWS it and
reports "SKIP — no built tree at public/renamed-tree-probe/", where before it
would have checked the wrong directory and reported PASS. Config restored,
re-verified green.

Seven gates pass, including both repaired ones.

Found by scanning _qa-cycle/CLAUDE.md, the oldest unread doc in the ideation
sweep (2026-07-12) and an inheritor's entry point. It carried the same stale
filename twice, once under the heading "Build config — ONE file", followed by
"Edit it, run bun run build, done" — pointing a reader at a file that is not
there. Corrected in that file too. A third occurrence sits inside a DONE card in
03-deployment-cycle describing a past state; that is a historical record and is
deliberately left alone.

718ad723dc Check that the numbers the maps show match the numbers the source has
Every gate in this repo verifies INTERNAL consistency. check:facet-changes-map
proves the dots change and that the categories sum to 2,107 — but it asserts
that inside the page, against data the page already loaded. If the upstream
corpus shifted, the page would stay perfectly self-consistent while its legend
quietly stopped describing reality. Nothing fetched the live endpoint: not the
six data guards, not check:label-joins, not any browser gate.

That is the worst failure this product can ship, because it is invisible to
every structural check. The element mounts, the canvas paints, the counts are
formatted correctly, the partition sums. Only comparison against the SOURCE
catches a legend that is beautifully wrong — and these maps exist to say where
the gospel has not reached, so a wrong number is not a cosmetic defect.

Measured by hand first, then encoded. The cap-2 engagement legend shows
Unengaged 2,080 / Engaged 27; the live API returns 2,107 rows splitting exactly
2,080 / 27, with no third bucket and no remainder. The cap-4 dashboard KPI strip
prints "1% ADOPTED"; the live API gives 21 of 2,107, which is 1.0%. Three
independent surfaces agreeing to the unit.

The gate also asserts the partition is COMPLETE and that no category exists which
the two-row legend does not show — a third engagement value would hide rows from
the reader while every count still looked right.

The expected values are a baseline, not a law, and the failure message says so:
the corpus is living data and these numbers will move. A mismatch is a prompt to
update the legend, the KPI and the baseline TOGETHER, which is the coupling that
was missing. Updating the baseline alone would silence the gate and leave the
maps wrong.

Offline SKIPs at exit 0 rather than failing, because reporting a mismatch that
may not exist is the fail-open mistake in reverse. Negative-tested both ways:
drifting the baseline fails naming the exact category and both numbers;
an unreachable host skips and says why.

The browser user-agent is deliberate — pray.doxa.life answers 403 to a default
script UA, a trap already recorded here, and one that presents as "the data is
gone".

c7029aaa55 Point the filter-width gate at pages that exist, and make it say so when they do not
check:filter-width was failing on both hosts with "UNMEASURED: no
.filter-dropdown__trigger found in the composed tree" and "no tab matched
/dashboard-plus-grid/i". Neither was true of the product. Both paths ended in a
trailing slash — directory URLs — and `bun run serve` is serve-strict.mjs, which
404s a directory with no index fallback because the live static layer does. A
404 page has no trigger and no tab rail, so a missing PAGE was reported as two
missing FEATURES. Measured: both directory URLs return 404, both index.html URLs
return 200.

Now passes in both hosts, and what it reports is the Driver's fixed-width
decision holding: all eight triggers at 168px before and after selecting the
longest option, identical in the standalone dashboard and inside the cap-5
studio.

Two things were checked rather than assumed. The tab regex looked like a second
bug — the rail labels tabs "Big Picture", not by bundle id — but the studio also
renders a developer row reading "dashboard-plus-grid<dashboard-plus-grid>", so
/dashboard-plus-grid/i correctly matches tab 3. Single cause, not two. And the
trigger class the gate looks for does exist (FilterDropdown.vue:278), which is
what made "the page is wrong" the remaining explanation.

Also adds a response check before any content assertion, so this failure mode
cannot recur silently. Negative-tested by pointing it at a nonexistent page: it
now fails with "UNMEASURED: HTTP 404 for /research-dashboard/NO-SUCH-PAGE/
index.html — nothing below this means anything", which names the cause instead
of describing a symptom.

Worth recording why this survived: one tick earlier I swept for directory URLs
and reported the class closed. That sweep grepped for goto(`${BASE}...`) as a
template literal, and this file builds its URL as BASE + path by concatenation,
so the pattern could not match it. A sweep is only as wide as its pattern. The
re-sweep looked instead for any goto whose URL lacks ".html" — a property of the
RESULT rather than of the syntax — and found this one plus nothing else among
the static-tree gates. The BASE + '/' users in smoke-studio, smoke and
check-scrim target the vite dev server on 5173, which does resolve directories,
so they are correct as written.

dbb917cbed Point the tab-order gate at a page that exists
check:spa-tab-order was FAILING with "no .vtl-tab rows found in the composed
tree", which reads as a missing tab rail. The rail is fine. The gate navigated
to a DIRECTORY url — .../doxa-maps-spa/doxa-maps-spa/ — and `bun run serve` is
serve-strict.mjs, which 404s a directory request with no index fallback because
the live static layer does. Measured: the directory url returns 404, the
explicit index.html returns 200.

Under the old `python3 -m http.server` this line passed, since that server
silently resolved a directory to index.html. So the gate was green locally and
would have 404'd against production — the exact defect class serve-strict was
introduced to expose, after it hid a bad url in verify-shell-scroll for a whole
flight. A repo-wide sweep found this was the last remaining directory url in
internal/.

The symptom deserves recording because it was maximally misleading: a 404 page
has no rail, so a missing PAGE and a missing FEATURE produce the same message,
and the line immediately below warns about that same confusion arising from
shadow roots. A correct warning about one cause makes the wrong diagnosis of
another cause more tempting, not less.

Now passes, and what it prints is the canonical Gate-1 chain: 12 rows opening
Big Picture ("dashboard + people-groups grid, stacked"), UPG-100 List, Prayer
Progress, Gospel Resources. Big Picture is tab-1 of the cap-5 SPA, as specified.

c4c5e366ad Say what the embed-smoke node count does and does not mean
smoke:embeds reports a node count per profile, and the counts vary enormously:
dashboard-plus-grid mounts 1,499 nodes with a canvas, big-picture 262,
research-map-plus-grid twelve. Read side by side that last one looks like a
capability-4 composite whose two children never rendered.

It is not. Measured with a recursive shadow-root walk at mobile viewport: 518
nodes, 1 canvas, both children present as real custom elements
(doxa-research-map and people-groups-grid), 13,867px of content, zero console
errors and zero responses >= 400.

The gate counts ONE shadow level. research-map-plus-grid nests its children by
TAG and bundle URL rather than importing their .vue files — deliberately, and
its meta.json explains why: importing the research map's component directly
would bypass doxa-research-map/index.js and silently drop that bundle's private
colour strategies, its profileModules registry, its Pinia/i18n pair and the RTL
plugin. Children mounted that way live in their own shadow roots, which a
single-level querySelectorAll cannot see.

So the count is a MOUNT signal, not a quality signal, and the `< 5` bar it feeds
is still exactly right — that bar catches a mount which produced nothing, which
is what this gate exists to assert. Only the reading was wrong, so only a
comment changes here.

Worth recording because this repo already carries the lesson that shadow DOM
does not pierce, and it cost three wrong diagnoses of a non-bug once before. It
reappeared inside a gate rather than in an ad-hoc probe, where it is harder to
notice: the gate is green, the number is simply not measuring what a reader
assumes. A near-miss, caught by checking the outlier in a browser instead of
filing it.

Whole run for the record: 43/43 pages mount cleanly, enumerated generically from
manifest.json — every bundle x every profile, not a hardcoded list. That is the
"Playwright coverage over every plugin" item on the standing work list, and it
is real coverage.

bd504063a1 Shoot the README with the token the bundles ship, and make the fidelity gate ask
Two related fixes, both about a measurement that had outlived the thing it
measured.

The shot harness fetched its Mapbox token from doxa.life/api/maps/token on every
run. That token belongs to the Mapbox account `doxalife` and is URL-restricted
to doxa.life, which is why the harness also had to spoof a Referer header to get
any tiles at all. Meanwhile the built bundles carry a different token entirely —
`gosystems`, baked in from vite.doxa-maps-build-config.json — and that one is not
restricted. Measured with no Referer: mapbox-streets-v8, country-boundaries-v1
and bathymetry-v2 all return 200 on the baked token and 403 on the fetched one.
The harness was doing extra work to use the weaker of the two.

It now reads the build config first and keeps the fetch as a fallback. Beyond
simply working, a README image is evidence about the SHIPPED artifact, so it
should render with the credential the artifact ships with; rendering with a
different token means the picture stops proving what a reader downloads. The
local read is also deterministic — the network path degraded silently, setting
the token to empty when doxa.life was slow, after which every shot was taken
token-limited and still written to disk.

check:shot-fidelity had the same problem one layer up. It fired its tileset
findings whenever any file referenced a mapbox:// tileset, and printed
"Referer doxa.life -> 200 · 127.0.0.1 -> 403 · no referer -> 403" as though it
were a live reading. It was one, on 2026-09-21, against the token that shipped
then. After the token swap in 1b6316a the sentence kept printing — warning about
a blank void while the shots came out fully painted. A gate that states a
measured fact has to re-measure it, or it becomes a confident lie at exactly the
moment someone fixes what it describes. It now fetches one real tile with the
baked token and no Referer, and suppresses the tileset findings when that
returns 200.

Network failure is deliberately not treated as a restriction. An offline box
cannot tell "restricted" from "unreachable", and asserting a restriction that
may not exist is the defect being repaired.

Negative-tested: pointing the probe at the restricted doxalife token makes the
gate report RESTRICTED and fire all three findings; the shipped token makes it
report REACHABLE and suppress them. The first attempt at that test proved
nothing and is worth recording — the poison never applied, because doxa.life
returns 403 to Python's default user agent, so the copy was never written and
the unmodified gate ran and "passed". A negative test that cannot fail is the
same defect in miniature. Re-run with a browser UA, it discriminated correctly.

The 12 regenerated screenshots are the point of all this. cap3-monolithic-research
was read as an image, not inferred from the generator's exit code: it now shows
coastlines, country borders, place labels, ocean names and Mapbox/OpenStreetMap
attribution, with the 2,107 data dots sitting on real geography instead of an
empty void. Note the PNG got 67KB SMALLER while gaining all of that, so file size
was never going to answer the question.

check:shot-fonts still fails, and that is pre-existing and honest: this box has no
emoji font, so six bundles shoot tofu boxes. Verified by stashing these edits and
re-running — exit 1 either way. The markup is correct; the fix is a font on the
shot machine, never removing emoji from the product.

5b3618d0d6 Check that the CLI doc still quotes package.json correctly
Applying last tick's lesson -- grep for the class, not the instance -- found a
third surface teaching the old serve command. README-SECTION-3-cli-commands.md
transcribes the package.json scripts so a reader need not open the file, and it
still showed python3 -m http.server two commits after serve became
serve-strict.mjs. An inheritor following the CLI reference would have started the
permissive server, the one whose forgiveness hid a URL bug in two gates for a
whole flight.

Measured before fixing: ten quoted scripts, nine matching, exactly one drifted. I
had expected build:unlocked to be stale too and it is not -- the doc truncates it
rather than misquoting it, which is the right call for a seven-hundred-character
line.

Hand-fixing the one line would leave the next script change to rot the same way,
so the doc is now checked. The comparison is loose in the three ways a
human-facing doc needs: package.json's trailing hash comments are ignored, the
doc's own slash-slash annotations are ignored, and truncation passes on a prefix
match either way. A quoted script that does not exist in package.json is a hard
failure, since that is a command someone would type and get "script not found".
Completeness is deliberately not asserted; the doc is a curated subset and
demanding otherwise would make it churn on every internal gate.

Self-test poisons the doc in memory two ways, a changed body and a nonexistent
script name, and requires both to be caught. Both are. Full build passes with the
gate in the chain.

7e1baac4a1 Hand an inheritor a token that works, and stop claiming one is present without checking
The golden path told a new author to fetch a token from doxa.life/api/maps/token.
Measured: that token is URL-restricted to doxa.life, so a tile request without
that Referer returns 403 and every basemap in their smoke test renders blank
while the pins draw fine. That is exactly the symptom the Driver reported as
loading the pins but not the underlying map, and it is why tokenUrl was emptied
in the build config the day before. The first command in the hand-off doc
reproduced a known bug.

It now reads the token from the build config, which is the source that works:
same tile request, config token 200, endpoint token 403. That is a pk. public
key baked deliberately, protected by URL restrictions rather than secrecy, and
check:public-hygiene allows pk. while failing the build on sk. and tk. -- so it
is safe to read and never a secret to guard. The doc shows the command, not the
key.

The aggregator had the same bug and a worse symptom: it fetched from the same
endpoint and printed "token present", which meant a string had been obtained,
not that it worked. So a run could report a present token while every map gate
measured a blank basemap. It now prefers the config token, falls back to the
endpoint, and validates whichever it gets with one tile request.

Verified in all three states: the config token reports "present and serves
tiles", a fabricated token reports "tiles 401 - basemaps will be blank", and the
old endpoint token reports "tiles 403 - URL-restricted?". The banner reports
what was measured rather than what was fetched.

aa196db1d8 Refuse to serve a half-built tree, so a gate cannot mistake one for a regression
A build removes public/doxa-maps before rebuilding it, so a browser gate running
during one reads an empty tree and reports a confident wrong answer.
verify-shell-scroll said it could not find the dashboard-plus-grid tab twice in
ten minutes while a swarm rebuilt underneath it. That reads exactly like a real
regression and cost three ticks of this flight.

The server now answers 503 for anything under /doxa-maps/ while the manifest is
absent, with a body naming the cause. A 503 rather than a 404 is deliberate: 404
means "this is not here", which a gate may reasonably report as a product defect,
while 503 with a reason cannot be mistaken for a finding. Assets outside the
bundle tree are unaffected.

The check belongs in the server because all nine gates fetch through it. Guarding
one chokepoint means none of them can misread a torn tree and none of them needs
editing, where having every gate take the build lock is nine changes plus a rule
every future gate has to remember.

The aggregator already refused to start against a missing tree, but only at
startup, and a full sweep runs for seventeen minutes. It also blamed a missing
server for a 503, sending the reader to start one that was already running; it
now names the real cause. The gap the server closes is the one that actually bit:
a single gate run directly, at any moment, including mid-sweep.

Verified by hiding the manifest in place: a leaf returns 503 with the explanation
while /assets/ still returns 404, and both return to 200 when it is restored.

236d289cc7 Point the anchoring gate at index.html too, so it can actually measure
Second gate caught by the strict server. check-fixed-anchoring loaded both hosts
by bare-directory URL, which the old permissive local server resolved and the
live layer does not, so it was green only because local was more forgiving than
production.

Worth noting how it failed: UNMEASURED for both hosts, not a false pass. It
refuses to report success when it could not measure, which is the difference
between this gate and one that would have found zero dropdowns and called that
zero anchoring problems.

Now passing with 16 triggers anchored across both hosts, Status among them --
so the eighth filter anchors correctly in the composite as well as standalone.

A sweep of internal/ finds no remaining bare-directory leaf URLs.

0f0bebd9c2 Serve locally the way production serves, so a bad URL fails here instead of live
bun run serve was python3 -m http.server, which resolves a directory request to
its index.html. The live static layer returns 404 for the same request. So a gate
could pass locally on a URL that does not work in production, and nothing local
could ever catch it.

That is not a harness quirk, it is a blind spot with a green light on it: every
defect inside the permissive gap passes locally by construction and can only be
found in production, which is the worst place to find it. It cost a false
"the publish failed, zero filters live" reading on a publish that was
byte-for-byte correct.

serve-strict.mjs returns 404 for a directory, exactly like production, with no
index fallback and no directory listing. It also refuses to read outside its
root. Loopback only, inherited from the script it replaces, whose own comment
records that the bind was once 0.0.0.0 and answered on the box's public IP while
a gate was running. The permissive server is kept as serve:permissive rather
than deleted, so the difference can be demonstrated.

It earned itself immediately: verify-shell-scroll held two bare-directory URLs
and failed the first time it ran against the strict server. Both now ask for
index.html, which is the form the manifest already ships for all 28 profiles,
and the gate passes again -- both wheel gestures moving the grid 1500px onto
screen.

Fixing the server rather than the URLs is the point. The repo was already
production-correct: 28 of 28 manifest URLs and 82 gate references use
index.html. What was missing was anything that could fail when one did not. A
rule you have to remember fails under time pressure; a server that returns 404
does not.

1652559e06 Teach the synced-CSS gate what a selector is, and turn it on
The gate reported 14 conflicts across two files. Thirteen were false and it was
blind to real ones, and both came from a single cause: it keyed a rule on the
last class before the brace, so any qualified rule was filed under its own base
rule. A dark-mode override, a .dsm-dark variant and a :host(:fullscreen) rule all
merged into the unconditional rules they were meant to override, and the pair was
then reported as the file disagreeing with itself. In every case both copies were
identical and the code correct.

Merging is last-write-wins, so the same bug also HID conflicts. Poisoning
.dsm-root inset from 0 to 7px in the shadow copy produced no finding at all,
because the fullscreen rule's own inset:0 was merged in afterwards and restored
it. A property could be shared, genuinely divergent, and invisible.

The key is now the full selector, and at-rules are part of it. The header already
claimed media-query variants were treated as distinct rules; nothing implemented
it, and PeopleGroupDetail's 18px name with a 16px @media override read as the
file contradicting itself when the shadow copy simply has no mobile rule -- which
this gate's own contract explicitly allows. At-rule bodies are brace-matched
rather than regex-matched, since a lazy pattern stops at the first inner brace.

The shadow literal is also sliced AFTER its opening backtick. Slicing from the
anchor left useShadowStyles(` at the head of the CSS, which a full-selector
pattern absorbs into the first rule -- .dsm-root was captured as
"useShadowStyles(` .dsm-root" and silently dropped.

That leaves one true finding, and it was real: .action-buttons padding-top was
12px as a Vue child and 4px in a shadow root. Both values date from the initial
commit, so there is no later intent to infer; aligned to the shadow copy's 4px
because that is the copy that reaches the shipped bundles, so it preserves what
users have been seeing rather than changing it.

check:synced-css:self-test poisons three properties in memory and requires each
to be caught. inset is there deliberately -- it is the one the old implementation
missed, so it is the case that proves the fix. Now in build:unlocked, which it
could never be while it was red.

1c01992a88 Gate the tab radius so a superseded rationale cannot quietly restore the pill
The 999px stadium was a real instruction that shipped, and its rationale is still
in the layout file as history. A superseded rationale that still reads as current
is how a reversed decision gets undone -- a reader trusting it would restore the
pill believing they were fixing a regression. The comment now says not to; this
makes that enforceable.

It asserts the TOKEN rather than the value, because the requirement is that the
tabs, the collapse button and the filter toggles agree. A shared knob guarantees
that; three matching literals only coincidentally satisfy it. The expected
fallback is READ FROM .vtl-collapse rather than hard-coded, so a gate asserting
8px cannot pass while the collapse button moves to 10px and the two surfaces
silently diverge. Both synced copies are checked, so a fix applied to one host
fails here rather than shipping correct in one and wrong in the other.

.vtl-cap keeps its pill and is deliberately not asserted: the complaint was the
ratio of radius to size, and a gate banning 999px everywhere would over-apply the
correction.

check:tab-radius:self-test poisons the source in memory and requires both
regressions to be caught -- the pill restored, and a bare literal beside the
token. Both caught, tree untouched. Wired into build:unlocked beside the other
source-level checks so it fails in a second rather than after the vite loop.

Noted while wiring: check:synced-css is NOT in the build chain, which is how two
files have stayed in conflict. Left alone here -- turning it on is its own change
with its own failures to fix first.

285ba39c31 Stop the data table from swallowing the wheel, and grade the gesture honestly
The Driver could not scroll down to the people-groups grid. Three separate
diagnoses blamed the map, including one of mine that shipped. Measured in the
cap-5 shell: a ten-tick wheel with the cursor over the dashboard moved the outer
pane 300px while .rd-grid's own scrollTop went 0 to 2606. The wheel was being
consumed by the table -- a virtualized grid whose scrollHeight is 54834px inside
a ~207px window. That is ordinary scroll-chaining: a nested scrollport eats wheel
events until it reaches its own end, and with 54 thousand pixels of table it
never reaches the end. The Mapbox canvas sits above the cursor and was never
involved.

overscroll-behavior:contain does not stop the table scrolling; it stops it
chaining, so the remainder now reaches the pane.

The gate that should have caught this had two defects of its own. It measured the
gesture the Driver makes and then asserted on a different number, so it passed at
2611px while his gesture moved 300. When that was fixed the threshold was written
as "moved less than 200px" -- a figure picked without comparing it to the value
already measured as broken, which was 300, so it still passed. The threshold is
now derived from a measured baseline: the same gesture performed lower down the
page, where it is known to work. Two identical gestures on one surface should
move it comparably, and there is no constant left to rot.

81fbf7c89f Do not report a filter bug when the gate's own map handle went stale
The panel destroys and re-creates its Map on a re-render, and the dev server's HMR
does this freely, which leaves window.__rdashMap pointing at a torn-down instance
whose getSource() throws "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
'getOwnSource')". Measured one run in three failing that way on the dev surface
while the product was fine — the first invocation through the package.json script
failed for exactly this reason and the next passed unchanged.

A gate that reports a product bug when its own reference went stale is a gate that
gets switched off. __live() now proves the handle still works before any assertion
reads through it, and readState() waits for the re-created instance to repopulate
rather than treating a dangling reference as a verdict. A state that is still
stale after the grace period is reported as an infrastructure fault, named as such,
not as a filter failure.

Verified 4/4 consecutive passes on the dev surface where it previously flaked, and
all four negative-test modes still catch their regressions (the retry must not mask
a real failure).

2a9198fa3c Assert the shipped heartbeat ramp, not just the panel's fallback
check:heartbeat proved the PANEL FALLBACK was intact and called that "default
ramp unchanged". It is not the same property. The running app resolves the ramp
with dashboard.config.js's map.* layered on top of that fallback, and the gate
never read the real config: assertion F checked only that heartbeatThreshold was
DECLARED, never what it was SET TO.

Measured consequence, reproduced before fixing:

    sed -i 's/heartbeatThreshold: 150,/heartbeatThreshold: 999,/' \
      plugin-designs/research-dashboard/dashboard.config.js
    node internal/check-heartbeat-threshold.mjs   # exit 0

The shipped map could silently change its ramp while the gate reported it
unchanged. Now exits 1, naming the key and its value.

Adds assertion A2: resolve the ramp the way the running app does — panel
defaults with the shipped map.* applied — and require it to equal the historical
5/20/60/150/Infinity with its labels. A (fallback) and A2 (shipped) share one
comparison helper so they cannot drift. A2 also rejects a shipped heartbeatMode
other than 'fixed': a data-derived ramp is right for an unknown dataset and
wrong for this one, where 150 is deliberate. Changing the shipped ramp is now a
deliberate act that must update HISTORICAL in the same commit.

dashboard.config.js is read by brace-matching its `map:` literal rather than
import(): it pulls in @map/* aliases and a JSON module, so importing it would
need Vite's resolver — a dependency that buys nothing for a bag of scalars.

The self-test now runs three cases, each required to fire the assertion that
exists for it, and poisons in memory so a crash cannot leave the tree edited:

    [literal]         resolver replaced by the old array        -> must fire B
    [shipped-default] shipped heartbeatThreshold changed        -> must fire A2
    [shipped-mode]    shipped heartbeatMode flipped to quantile -> must fire A2

The header previously claimed the gate was "negative-tested" on the strength of
the first case alone. True of that case, misleading overall, so it now states
per-case coverage and what is NOT covered (colour contrast, and whether the map
paints at all). Testing that the FEATURE works — a configured threshold moves
the edge — is not testing that the REGRESSION is caught, and only the second
protects the requirement that today's map must not change.

04c2a3d2eb Gate the rule that a facet selection must change the dots — and that the dots say what they mean
The prayer filter was reported as "not applying" to the map. Measuring it first
changed the fix: the filter was never broken. Selecting "Has Prayer" already
narrowed the rd-bubbles source 2107 -> 689 features, exactly matching the
dropdown's own tally, disjoint from "Needs Prayer" (1418), summing to 2107 and
round-tripping on clear.

What was broken is that circle-color was the flat literal '#ef6c00' — read back
off the live layer, the bare string, not an expression — so every dot painted the
same orange whether it had prayer or not. A prayer question got an answer with no
prayer information in it, and the surviving dots looked identical to the ones the
user started with. That is why a working filter reads as "not applying".

This gate asserts all three halves, because any one alone is a false pass:
  1. the selection changes WHICH dots are on the map, by count AND by identity
  2. every surviving dot satisfies the level that was selected
  3. while a prayer filter is active the colour is a data-driven expression
     reading peoplePraying, not a flat literal

Assertion 3 is the one that matters: 1 and 2 were already green while the bug was
visible. Identity is checked as well as count because the filter removes from the
tail of an alphabetical list, so the first five slugs are byte-identical before
and after — a gate reading the head of the list would report "unchanged".

NEGATIVE-TESTED in four modes, each isolating one assertion, all verified caught:
  colour  reverts only the paint (the reported bug)    -> caught by assertion 3
  props   strips peoplePraying                          -> caught by assertion 2
  frozen  blocks the source update entirely             -> caught by assertion 1
  both    reverts the lot                               -> caught
A gate that cannot fail is worse than no gate.

Verified on both hosts against the BUILT tree: the cap-5 shell and the standalone
leaf. Browser gate, so not in build:unlocked.

34cbb39a5c Make the heartbeat-zone threshold a variable, not a constant
The choropleth's bin edges were a 5-stop literal (5/20/60/150/Infinity) in
DashboardMapPanel.vue. Those numbers are not a property of choropleths; they
are a property of THIS dataset — ~2000 people groups in focus. Pointed at a
200-group dataset, a 150 cutoff puts every country in the bottom bin and the
map renders uniformly pale: no crash, no error, correct code, meaningless map.
A dataset assumption wearing the costume of a constant.

The top band is the HEARTBEAT ZONE — the countries holding the most people
groups. Its edge now comes from dashboard.config.js as map.heartbeatThreshold,
alongside the other per-dataset facts (facets, columns, kpis). Re-pointing the
dashboard at a new dataset is a config edit, not a source edit.

Splits the old fused BINS array into the two independent facts it always was:
BIN_COLORS (measured against the navy pin, dataset-independent) and the edges
(pure dataset assumption). Fused, moving a threshold meant restating every hex
— silently reverting the contrast work — and restyling meant restating every
edge. Set either alone now.

Setting heartbeatThreshold alone rescales the three lower edges by their
original ratios, so the ramp keeps its shape (long tail of small counts, short
head of large ones) at any dataset size. Legend labels derive from the edges,
so a moved threshold cannot leave a stale "150+" on the legend. Opt-in
'quantile' mode derives the edges from the data actually loaded; it is NOT the
default, because 150 is a deliberate number for this dataset and a derived
default would silently change today's map.

Two bugs found and fixed while measuring:
- Edges could land at 1, creating a bin no count can enter (colorFor tests
  `count < upTo`): the ramp painted 4 of its 5 colours while the legend
  advertised 5. Appeared at threshold 40 and again in quantile mode.
- profileConfig merged shallowly, so a host passing the single key it cares
  about — {map:{heartbeatThreshold:40}} — replaced the whole map object and
  dropped mapStyle:'paper'. The one override a host is most likely to write
  was the one that broke the basemap. `map` now merges one level deep; every
  other key stays shallow.

No defineProps: the registered custom element is ProfileLoader, which renders
the profile with no props bound, so a prop declared on the profile would read
as configurable and never fire. The reachable attribute path is ProfileLoader's
existing profile-config JSON, verified end-to-end.

Default rendering is unchanged, verified by measurement rather than eyeball:
bin assignment over the 114-row committed fixture (59 countries) plus a 17-point
count sweep is identical before and after, with and without config supplied.

internal/check-heartbeat-threshold.mjs executes the resolver from the live SFC
and asserts the bins MOVE when the config moves — a grep for "150" would both
false-positive (it is the legitimate default) and false-negative (a
re-hard-coding at 200 sails through). Its --self-test re-hard-codes the ramp in
memory and requires the gate to reject it.

fa0b7d1099 Keep the development-era internal code name out of shipped files
The repo is handed to the Doxa team, and a code name from its build history
means nothing to an inheritor. Two places carried it, both regenerating:

  - public/.build.lock was TRACKED. internal/build-lock.sh stamps it with
    `by=$(whoami)` under flock on every build, so each rebuild committed the
    building machine's username. Scrubbing the string would have been useless;
    the file is pure runtime state nothing reads but the lock, so it is now
    ignored via public/.gitignore instead.
  - check-no-absolute-paths.mjs quoted a real home path in its header to
    explain the rule. The prose works the same with /home/<user>/.

check:no-codename makes it stick. It scans tracked files only (the set a clone
receives), names every offending file:line in one pass, and refuses to pass
vacuously on a short file list.

Two things it has to get right or it becomes noise. "10x" is ordinary English
for a multiplier and library/scripts/research uses it correctly, so only the
full two-part name matches. And the same letters appear as the unix username
inside /home/ paths, which is a portability defect check:no-abs-paths already
reports better — those are listed, not failed, so the two gates cannot
disagree about one string.

It carries no ALLOW entry for itself. A gate must never be its own witness,
and an exemption is a hole a real leak could hide in, so the pattern is
assembled from fragments at run time and the file scans itself on the same
terms as every other.

Negative-tested: planting the name in README.md fails naming README.md:2,
exit 1; removing it passes. All five spellings (LK10X, LK 10X, lk10x, LK-10X,
lk_10x) planted across five different shipped surfaces are reported together
in one run, exit 1; reverting returns exit 0.

Also quotes check:heartbeat into the CLI doc, which check:quoted-scripts
requires and which landed in package.json without it.

2ec6c00e68 Stop the map from swallowing the wheel, and grade the gesture the user makes
syncScrollZoomToHost decided whether Mapbox should keep scrollZoom by sampling
the layout at 0, 1200 and 4000ms and then never asking again. That is a race,
not a sync: the cap-5 dashboard tab lazy-mounts on activation, so at every one
of those instants the scrollport ancestor had not reached its final height. The
map kept scrollZoom enabled and ate the wheel. Wheeling over the map moved the
grid 300px; wheeling below it moved 2611px. The cursor is over the map, so the
people-groups grid under the dashboard was unreachable.

The condition is layout-dependent, so observe layout instead of guessing when it
settles: a ResizeObserver on the map container, the scrollport that owns the page
scroll, and body, plus a resize listener. Every event that can flip the answer now
re-asks it.

verify-shell-scroll already measured this. It computed movedByMap for the gesture
over the map, then asserted only on movedTotal, which sums in a second gesture
below the map -- so it reported PASS at 2611px while the real gesture moved 300px.
It now asserts on the number it was built to measure. Worth remembering as its own
failure family: a gate that measures the right thing and grades a different
variable, which fails honestly but never on the condition it exists for.

d4ab3a8e09 Anchor the gallery's assets to the tree, not to the page directory
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The archived gallery resolved ASSETS as BASE + 'assets' — this PAGE's own
directory. That was correct only while the gallery WAS the root page, where the
two coincide. Since it moved to /__gallery it asked for /__gallery/assets/...
Measured on the built tree with the page at /__gallery/:

    /__gallery/assets/vendor/vue/vue.global.prod.js ... 404
    /doxa-maps/assets/vendor/vue/vue.global.prod.js ... 200

Every leaf page already agrees where assets live: a leaf at
/<tree>/<bundle>/<profile>/ bakes assetsBase "../../assets" -> /<tree>/assets.
So anchor to the tree root, which TREE_URL already names.

This degraded QUIETLY rather than blanking, which is why it outlived the move:
loadVue() falls back to the jsDelivr CDN, so the page kept working while
silently losing the portable / offline / no-CDN property the vendored copy
exists to provide. After the fix the built page loads Vue from
/doxa-maps/assets/vendor/vue/ and reports zero 4xx/5xx.

TREE_URL moves above ASSETS because ASSETS now depends on it; both are `var`,
so the old order would have yielded the string "undefined/assets" rather than
an error. Its explanatory comment moves with the declaration.

The dev server passes assetsBaseUrl explicitly, so this is the built-tree half
of the fix its comment already documents for dev.

04eccdfa7a Gate the scrim-covers-viewport rule, and say what was not verified
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
A `position:fixed; inset:0` scrim is only viewport-relative while nothing
establishes a containing block for fixed descendants. VerticalTabsLayout sets
`contain:layout` on .vtl-content, so inside the cap-5 studio every such scrim
covered the CONTENT PANE instead. Measured at a 1280x900 viewport:

    .dt-scrim / .modal-scrim / .lt-overlay ... 1024x793 @ (256,107)
    captured by div.vtl-content [contain:layout]

256 is the rail width, 107 the header height — left uncovered and CLICKABLE
behind what still looks like a modal. The fix (library/utils/viewportScrim.js)
measures the real origin and subtracts it, rather than removing the shell's
contain, which is load-bearing for a different reason.

This adds the gate that keeps it fixed. A source grep cannot: every one of these
scrims greps as a correct inset:0, because the variable is the ANCESTOR, not the
declaration — and which ancestors exist depends on the HOST, not the component.

check:scrim-viewport:self-test reverts each scrim to plain inset:0 and requires
EVERY case to fail; a gate that cannot fail is worse than no gate, and this one
measures a property that looks fine in a screenshot either way. The self-test
also surfaced that .lt-overlay is captured TWICE — div.lt-root [transform] as
well — collapsing it to 233x30 rather than merely to the pane.

SemanticTreeLegend's .stl-export-backdrop is fixed the same way but marked as
NOT verified through the UI: it sits behind SHOW_EXPORT_BUTTON = false, so the
menu that owns it cannot be opened. Correct-if-enabled, not observed.

ad6da54674 Checkpoint the swarm's in-flight work
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
Five lanes had 465 insertions across 18 files sitting uncommitted, some for
15 minutes. That is the state that silently lost the shell-scroll fix earlier
today: a verified fix existed only in the working tree, a second agent's edit
to the same file overwrote it, and the reverted version got committed and
described as the fix.

Nothing here is finished and no card is being closed on it. This is a
snapshot so the work survives an overwrite, taken at a moment when every file
had been quiet 15s or more, so no agent was mid-write.

Verified coherent before staging rather than committed blind: template-literal,
mjs-parse, sfc-parse, no-orphan-gates, kpi-unit, composite-reg, script-flags,
quoted-scripts and backlog-status all PASS. check:synced-css fails on
PeopleGroupDetail.vue and doxa-simple-map.vue only -- the same two files and
the same counts as before the swarm started, both untouched by any agent, both
already carded.

Two untracked files included because both are load-bearing: internal/
check-facet-one-field.mjs is wired into package.json with a self-test, and
library/utils/viewportScrim.js is imported by DataTable, SemanticTreeLegend
and PosterDialog -- a shared helper for the modal-scrim fix rather than six
copies of the same workaround.

f00abe1e6c Parse the build scripts before the build runs them
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
Two different agents broke the build the same way within ten minutes: a
backtick inside a // comment sitting inside a template literal of generated
browser JS. The backtick closes the literal and the parser reads prose as code,
so it fails hundreds of lines from the edit -- one break reported at :386 with
the cause in a comment above it.

check:template-literal did not catch either, and that is not a bug in it: it
scans backticks inside CSS comments, the shadow-CSS shape. A // comment inside
a generated-JS literal is a different grammar. Proven by controlled negative
test -- injecting a backticked term into a // comment in generate-tree.mjs, a
file that gate explicitly lists, left it reporting PASS while node --check
failed immediately. The rule was right; the implementation covered a narrower
case than the rule stated.

Nothing parsed the 70 .mjs build scripts. check:parse covers inline scripts in
built pages and check:sfc-parse covers .vue, so the scripts the build is made
of were the one unchecked surface.

Uses the parser rather than a wider regex. A backtick is legal inside a string,
a regex, a nested template, or a comment inside a template; a pattern precise
enough to catch the bad case would false-positive on the legal ones, and a gate
that cries wolf gets skipped -- worse than the gap. The parser already knows
all of that.

Parses, never imports: these scripts read files, spawn browsers and hit the
network at import time, and a syntax check must have no side effects.

Runs as build step 2, beside check:template-literal, so a broken script fails
in a second rather than after minutes of compilation.

The failure message points at the real cause rather than the reported line, and
tells the reader to grep for every instance in one pass -- node --check reports
only the first, and each rebuild to surface the next costs minutes, which is
how one of today's breaks was being fixed one at a time.

Negative-tested side by side: exit 1 with "SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
'TREE'" at generate-tree.mjs:369, while check:template-literal reports PASS on
the same file in the same moment.

58ba402f87 Let smoke:gallery report what it can actually see
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The gate could not pass on this box and it was not the product's fault. Three
defects, all in the gate:

Its default --url was localhost:5174 while `bun run dev` is `bun x vite`,
whose default is 5173, so the documented invocation failed with "is `bun x
vite` running?" against a dev server that WAS running.

It required a WebGL canvas on every map profile. This VPS has no GPU, so all
34 elements failed from an assertion the environment could never satisfy --
a gate that cannot pass, as useless as one that cannot fail, and it buried the
real finding underneath.

Removing that assertion was not enough: the map library still logs "Failed to
initialize WebGL", and every console error counted as a failure, so the same
environmental limit came back through another door.

Now 31 of 34 pass. GL noise is FILTERED, not suppressed -- the count prints on
every run ("3 WebGL page error(s) FILTERED — this box has no GPU"), because a
silent filter is indistinguishable from a gate that never looked, and this repo
has already shipped one of those. Anything that is not the GL-init message
still fails. EXPECT_CANVAS=1 on a machine with real GL filters nothing and
restores the canvas assertion.

Data 404s are now their own finding rather than a clause appended to the canvas
message, where they were only visible through a failure that was itself
environmental -- and where a map that painted fine would have hidden them.

That surfaced the real defect the gate exists to find: the archived /__gallery
page fetches a bare relative manifest.json, so it resolves against / instead of
/__gallery/. The studio at / is correct; it carries tree-base="/__plugin-gallery"
and smoke:studio passes in ~5s. Fixed separately.

Also corrects a usage comment that still said 5174 after the default changed --
the exact line someone copies verbatim.

b9a0cb040c Require a queryable status on every backlog card
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
Cards were being written with explanatory statuses -- "done — reconciled: …",
"blocked — Steps 1+3 DONE and re-verified…", "ready". The prose is valuable
and several of those strings carry measurements, but it made status
unqueryable: every count used status !== 'done', which is FALSE for
"done — reconciled: …", so finished cards kept counting as open.

Measured across the three phase backlogs: 130 of 395 cards carried a prose
status and 71 of those were already done. Reported open was 176 against a real
105. The P0 figure quoted every tick was 21; it was 14.

That is worse than an off-by-N because a backlog is a decision instrument. It
answers "what is left" and "is the rest human-gated", and inflating the open
count makes a drained board look stalled, which pushes toward manufacturing
work instead of holding honestly. The error also hides: every card reads
correctly to a human, because the prose says exactly what is true. Only the
aggregate is wrong.

Migration preserved every explanation in fields.status_detail -- 130 of 130,
none lost -- and normalised status to the enum. Six cards whose head-word was
not in the map were left alone and resolved by hand against reality rather than
guessed, since a wrong normalisation hides a card instead of counting it.

The gate does not require status_detail. Most cards need no explanation and
demanding one turns a real check into paperwork satisfied with filler.

Negative-tested: restoring one prose status fails by name and prints it.

e1baca1bbb Assert the cap-5 rail opens on the Big Picture, in the specified order
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The Driver named the sequence: Big Picture, UPG-100, Prayer Progress, Gospel
Resources. Tab 1 is the landing surface -- the first thing anyone opening the
product SPA sees, and the opening step of the onboarding ramp. That ordering
was held only by the order of entries in NAV_MODEL and by comments explaining
why, with nothing failing if someone reordered them.

Easy to break silently: NAV_MODEL is also where sections, badges and
narrow-screen flags live, so it gets edited for reasons unrelated to ordering,
and a row moved while adding a badge produces no error and a SPA that still
works. It just opens somewhere else. That file's own comments record Big
Picture once being painted twice in the rail, from a one-row section that
re-declared a row below.

Asserts the RENDERED rail, not the source array. Parsing NAV_MODEL was the
first attempt and returned an empty list -- the entries do not carry the id
shape I assumed, and a regex over a 300-line commented array is guesswork
either way. The rail is what the user sees and what the Driver described, and
a source parse could pass while a rendering bug shows something else.

Order, not membership: checking that four names are present would pass on a
rail that opens on Gospel Resources. Prefix-matched so a row may carry its
subtitle.

Negative-tested: swapping the first two expected entries fails by name and
prints want versus got for every row.

9cae7fe16a Compare every silently-failing side effect, not just strategy keys
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The gate caught one of the four things a baked composite must repeat. The
other three were left to luck, and one of them had already gone wrong: the
composite shipped mapbox-gl-rtl-text zero times while both leaf bundles
shipped it once, so Arabic, Hebrew and Persian labels rendered reversed in the
cap-5 shell. Arab World has 99 rows and Persian-Median 49, which makes that a
wrong name rather than a style issue.

Now compares createPinia, createAppI18n and installRtlTextPlugin alongside the
registerStrategies keys: whatever the leaf entry calls, the composite that
bakes its .vue must call too.

provide('profileModules') is deliberately excluded. It is the fifth side
effect and the only one that throws when missing, and it is also the only one
safe to omit, because a baked composite does not use ProfileLoader. Requiring
it would fail a composite that is correct. The rule is "repeat what silently
disappears", not "repeat everything".

Matched as calls -- name followed by "(" with the import line for that name
stripped first -- because an indexOf on the bare name reads the import instead
of the invocation, which is the trap that made the strategy parser return
nothing and report a confident empty result.

Negative-tested twice, and the first case reproduces the real historical bug:
removing installRtlTextPlugin() fails by name and prints both sides' lists;
removing createPinia() does the same. Pairs compared went 1 to 2.

7afbb9187c Assert a filter trigger keeps its width when an option is selected
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
.filter-dropdown was flex:1 1 160px with min-width:160px and max-width:240px
-- a range, not a width -- so flex-grow renegotiated the moment the selected
label appeared. The row grew 960 to 1294px and triggers reached 240px.

Not cosmetic. The selections row with Clear All sits underneath the filters,
so a filter that grows on selection re-flows the row below it and the band
stops being a fixed block. The stable width is what lets the centred stack
hold still.

Independently reproduced before gating rather than taken from the agent
report: 168px across all six triggers, identical after selecting the longest
option in each. The negative test then reproduced the broken widths
[240,240,240,184,171,219] -- the same array the original report cited, which
confirms that measurement was real.

Asserts the observable outcome, not the CSS. A grep for --dx-filter-w would
pass while a missing min-width:0 on the label still pushed the box open: as a
flex item without it the label is floored at min-content and refuses to
ellipsise. Both halves are needed, so the gate measures the width.

Selecting the LONGEST option is load-bearing. A short option fits inside the
old range too, so a probe that clicks the first option passes on a build that
still has the bug.

Two hosts, and an unmeasurable host fails rather than skips -- three defects
this week were invisible standalone and appeared only in the shell.

Negative-tested: restoring the flex range fails both hosts by name, naming the
before and after arrays and the total growth.

facet-cascade, one-palette, script-flags, no-public-binds, no-orphan-gates and
quoted-scripts all pass. public-hygiene reports 0 findings.

Colour. The choropleth ramp is now derived by interpolating the product's own
tokens (surface #f3f3f1 to accent #92b195) rather than adding a sixth grey, and
that fixes a pincer the earlier research had not named: on the old grey-to-black
ramp the navy dot and the white ring failed at OPPOSITE ends, so no fixed pin
colour could win. Worst-case dot contrast moves 1.13 to 7.29. Second-order
breaks fixed with it -- the country outline would have measured 1.08-1.82 as
white on the pale fill, so it is #6d766e at 2.59-4.34, and the legend swatch
border.

Religion colours no longer key by array index. colorFor takes no index at all;
colour comes from the registry by facet plus value. All 31 distinct live
religion labels now match the map, 0 mismatches. Tree-rail grey rows 142 to 0
against the live 2,107-row API.

Cascade. Clearing a parent facet now clears its descendants, in the selection
bus rather than in any component, because every clear path already funnels
through setFilter/clearFilters -- a component fix would have fixed one button
and left four. The hierarchy is derived from config.facetRail[].drill, so it
cannot drift from the tiers the rail renders. Place turned out to be three deep
(region, block, country), not two.

Rails. Tree rows wrapping 18/66 to 3/66; the tree rail is now the wider of the
two at 296 vs 264, with the map cell unchanged because both pairs sum to 560.

Also lands the shell scroll fix and the facet-cascade gate with its committed
fixture -- 73 sampled rows, no network, so the assertion that reproduces the
empty map runs on a fresh clone instead of silently skipping.

ca39d27088 Check a composite registers everything the leaf it bakes registers
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
In the cap-5 shell the Region donut, country bars and Place tree rendered
entirely grey while the identical build was correct standalone. A cap-4
composite imports the sibling component directly
(dashboard-plus-grid.vue:18), which takes the COMPONENT and skips
research-dashboard/index.js -- the file that actually assembles the bundle:
Pinia, i18n, colour strategies, customElements.define. The composite
re-declares all of it by hand, a manual copy nothing keeps in sync, which is
how the strategies leg was lost. That file already documented this bypass for
i18n and fixed only that one leg.

It is silent by construction: getColorStrategy() falls back to language-family
for an unregistered mode instead of throwing, so the result is a plausible
wrong picture -- grey charts that read as a data problem rather than a wiring
one. Found by reading an image; every number passed.

The gate compares the leaf's registerStrategies keys against the composite's.
A composite registering nothing while its leaf registers nothing is fine: the
rule is about drift between two lists meant to agree. big-picture also bakes a
sibling and registers zero strategies, and that is correct -- neither it nor
people-groups-grid references colorFor, getColorStrategy or mapbox. A first
pass called it a second instance; measuring usage showed it is not one.

Four rounds to get working, each a real bug found by testing the wrong half:

- pre-stripping comments deleted 2,953 of 4,102 characters of
  research-dashboard/index.js, including the call being searched for, so the
  gate claimed "no composite bakes a sibling that registers strategies" --
  a confident claim about the repo derived from parsing nothing. Not stripping
  is also correct: the call is located by requiring "(", so a mention in prose
  cannot match.
- indexOf('registerStrategies') found the IMPORT line first and brace-matched
  its own braces.
- a non-greedy brace regex stopped at the first inner "}" and the key pattern
  missed quoted path keys.

Every fix was verified against dashboard-plus-grid, which survives stripping,
and never against research-dashboard, which does not. A comparison needs both
halves asserted before any fix is believed.

Negative-tested: dropping doxa-region from the composite fails by name and
prints both lists.

fd41b4a207 Check that a component's two CSS copies agree
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
A shared component declares the same selectors twice: once in a scoped <style>
block for when it is imported as a Vue child, and once in a useShadowStyles
literal for when it is mounted inside a shadow root, where scoped CSS does not
reach. Both are load-bearing and the standing rule is that they stay
identical. Nothing enforced it.

library/components/PeopleGroupDetail.vue disagreed with itself on eleven
properties, and the shadow copy is a coherent DARK theme under a light-only
rule: .detail-header background white vs #16213e, .image-container #f5f5f5 vs
#2d2d4e, and .people-group-name color #333 vs #fff -- white text, legible only
on the dark background, so fixing the background alone would make the name
invisible. Six importers; the dark hex reached four shipped bundles.

It was invisible because it is a two-host bug: the component looks correct in
whichever host you tested. Fourth of that shape this week.

Three findings while building this, each of which had the gate reporting
success about something it never compared:

- a loose /<style[^>]*>/ matched the words "<style scoped>" inside a JS
  comment 43 characters before useShadowStyles( in SemanticTreeLegend.vue, then
  ran to the next real </style> and swallowed the whole shadow literal into the
  <style> text. Both maps read the same bytes, so that file could not fail on
  any of its 51 apparent shared selectors. Anchored to line start, since an SFC
  block starts at column 0. That also raised PeopleGroupDetail 8 -> 11.
- assigning m[sel] = props let the last declaration win, discarding every
  property that appeared only in a base rule when a media query redeclared the
  selector. Rules are merged now.
- comparing raw text reported comma-spacing as divergence: 5 findings for
  doxa-simple-map of which 2 were formatting. Compared as property maps, so the
  rule is about meaning.

Negative-tested by change rather than by exit code, which with pre-existing
failures proves nothing: fixing .detail-header takes PeopleGroupDetail 11 -> 10
and restoring it returns 11.

Standalone rather than in build:unlocked, because it fails on live defects
today.

a11ec14852 Print each KPI percent sign once
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The dashboard rendered "99%  % UNREACHED" and "1%  ADOPTED %". kpiText returns
k.value unchanged for kind:'pct' and that value already carries its percent
sign, while the labels in dashboard.config.js carried a second one.

Each half is correct alone. A label reading '% unreached' is a reasonable
label; a formatter returning a ready-formatted percentage is a reasonable
formatter. Only the composition is wrong, and neither file mentions the other,
which is why it was found by reading the rendered screenshot rather than by
reading either source.

check:kpi-unit asserts no kind:'pct' label contains a '%'. The value owns the
unit because it is produced by the formatter that knows the number; the label
says what is being measured.

Parses the config as text rather than importing it -- the research-dashboard
module graph reaches library/colors/_registry.js, which uses import.meta.glob
and throws under plain node. Text parsing keeps it hermetic enough for
build:unlocked. Comments are stripped first, because the config now documents
this defect right above the fixed line and a naive scan fails on the
explanation of the fix.

It also fails when it finds no pct entries at all, rather than printing a
green PASS: if the config is refactored so the parse stops matching, silence
would read as success forever.

Negative-tested: restoring either label fails by name with exit 1.

8609de969e Scan all of library/ for backticks in shadow-CSS comments
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
This gate's own header records fixing exactly this bug once already: it walked
plugin-designs one level deep, missed the shadow-CSS components under
<bundle>/src/components/, reported PASS, and the build broke with a misleading
Babel error far from the edit. The note ends "it was wrong about WHICH files,
which is the more dangerous failure because it reports success."

The other half of the list was never fixed. library/ stayed a hand-written
list of three .vue paths while 17 files under library/ carry a
useShadowStyles literal. Injecting a backtick into a CSS comment in
library/components/hints/PinHint.vue left this gate green AND check:sfc-parse
green -- so the documented failure mode was reachable in 36 unscanned files.

Now walks library/ the same way plugin-designs is walked: 47 files scanned
becomes 84. The injected backtick fails by name at PinHint.vue:236.

A hand-maintained file list decays silently, because nothing announces that a
new file should have been added to it. That is what makes this worse than a
wrong rule -- the rule was always right and was simply never shown the file.

The status line also hardcoded "+ 4 library/internal" and so under-reported
coverage while sounding precise. Counts are now derived from the file list.

Noting a wrong turn for the next reader: the first negative test used a plain
string replace and hit the first match at line 140, which is outside any
literal, so the gate correctly ignored it and I briefly read that as the fix
not working. PinHint has two literals; the target was in the second.

68c1686cf5 Gate that map, legend and charts share one palette
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The dashboard aggregations module used to hold two private palettes the map
had never seen, and picked chart colours with
CATEGORICAL[i % CATEGORICAL.length]. Two failures came out of that: near-miss
regions (Africa #e74c3c in a chart, #ff2e2e on the map) and religion coloured
by array index. No religion key existed in the private table, so every
religion fell through to its position in a list sorted BY COUNT -- and counts
move when you cross-filter, so a religion changed colour as you filtered.
Islam and Hinduism swapped, Buddhism and Christianity swapped.

That is already fixed: both private palettes deleted, every hex now read from
the same strategy modules the map paints with. But the fix is a deletion plus
a convention, and nothing enforces a convention. The next person adding a
facet writes a lookup table because it is the obvious thing to do, and the
divergence returns with no error and no crash -- just two surfaces disagreeing
about what blue means.

Reads the BUILT bundles rather than the source because the registry discovers
strategies with import.meta.glob, which plain node cannot evaluate. That makes
it a test of the glob too: if the registry ever silently discovers nothing,
the bundles lose the palette and this fails, where a source-only check would
still pass.

Comments are stripped before scanning, because both consumer files describe
this defect at length in their headers and a naive scan matches the
documentation of the fix -- the same self-reference that made two gates report
on their own prose this week.

Negative-tested three ways: a reintroduced private palette, an [i % len]
lookup, and corrupting four of ten religion hexes in a built bundle, which
fails as a partial palette and names the missing hexes.

b2fc0e4dda Make the shell-scroll gate runnable, and catch orphan gates
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
verify-shell-scroll.mjs was written and negative-tested, then left with no
package.json entry and no importer, so nothing could ever run it again. It
also defaulted to localhost:8899 -- an ad-hoc port from an earlier session --
so it failed with ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED for anyone else and read as a broken
gate rather than a missing server. Now check:shell-scroll, defaulting to
BASE_URL or 127.0.0.1:4173 like every other browser gate, and listed in
verify-browser-all's GATES array.

check:no-orphan-gates fails any gate-shaped file in internal/ that nothing can
invoke. The repo carded this once already; it recurs because writing a gate
and registering one are separate acts and only the first feels like work.

Not every unreferenced file is a lost gate, so the rule is not "everything
must be wired": theme-flash-probe is a dated diagnostic for two fixed bugs,
worth keeping as a reproduction recipe. It now carries an @one-shot tag saying
so, which makes the author state which kind of thing they wrote.

Two self-referential defects in the first version of that gate, both from
reading evidence out of documentation:

- it cited theme-flash-probe.mjs in its own header as an example, then grepped
  for importers, found itself, and declared the orphan reachable. The gate
  written to catch orphans made an orphan pass by mentioning it. A gate must
  never be its own witness, so it now excludes its own file.
- it matched @one-shot anywhere in prose, including its own paragraph
  explaining the tag, and reported "1 tagged" when nothing had been tagged.
  The tag must now be a marker at line start.

Negative-tested: removing check:shell-scroll from package.json fails by name.

The scroll fix itself is NOT done. contain:layout and .vtl-host overflow-y are
confirmed in the built bundle, and a real wheel gesture still moves the grid
0px with 2586px mounted and unreachable. The gate is what caught that; the
diff looked correct.

8e4884469b Make advertised script flags actually reachable
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
bun run appends arguments to the command string, so a script ending in an
inline # comment swallows them. Proven side by side:

  "node argtest.mjs"                    bun run _t1 --self-test -> ["--self-test"]
  "node argtest.mjs   # a comment"      bun run _t2 --self-test -> []

No error, no warning: the script runs in its default mode and exits 0.

Four scripts advertised a flag that could never arrive, and two of them are
--self-test. A --self-test IS the proof that a gate can fail, so running
check:facet-cascade --self-test printed the ordinary PASS and exited 0 --
which reads as "the negative test passed" when the negative test never ran.
The gate itself was fine: invoking node directly reverted the cascade and
failed 13 assertions correctly, including the real symptom (switching to
another language family leaves the map empty because the orphan still
filters). Only the invocation was broken, so the mechanism that certifies a
gate can fail was a gate certifying itself.

Each flag now gets a dedicated entry that hardcodes it, which also makes the
mode discoverable in bun run output instead of documented only in prose
nobody greps.

check:script-flags fails any script whose comment advertises a flag the
command cannot receive. Negative-tested: adding such a comment back fails by
name with exit 1.

0296b03aa7 Bind local preview servers to loopback only
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
serve used --bind 0.0.0.0, and every browser gate starts it. A live audit of
this box found nineteen publicly bound http.server processes on 4820-4970 plus
one on 8899, all rooted at public/, with curl to the box's public IP returning
200. Nobody noticed, because a listening socket produces no output and no
failure: the gate it served passed and the process outlived it.

The standing rule "keep the box closed" lived in prose. The behaviour lived in
a flag. Prose cannot constrain a flag, so the rule was never violated by a
decision -- only by a default nobody re-read.

Loopback is sufficient for the whole suite: verify-browser-all,
check:a11y-button-names, check:nav-reachable and smoke:share-all already
default to 127.0.0.1. The wide bind bought nothing.

check:no-public-binds fails any script with an explicit all-interface bind, a
bare vite --host, or an http.server with no --bind at all (its default is also
all interfaces, just less visible in review). It reads the repo rather than the
machine's live sockets, because a socket check would pass or fail on whatever
happens to be running and could not be fixed by editing anything here.

Negative-tested: restoring --bind 0.0.0.0 fails by name with exit 1.

a1005869ce Anchor the filter dropdown in every host, not just standalone
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The menu is position:fixed with viewport coordinates. That resolves against the
viewport only while nothing establishes a containing block for fixed
descendants. VerticalTabsLayout -- the cap-5 shell that hosts every plugin as a
tab -- sets contain:layout paint on .vtl-content, inside .vtl-main{left:256px}.

Measured at 1600x900, same component, two hosts:
  standalone research-dashboard ...... dLeft=0   dTop=4    six of six
  inside plugin-studio dashboard tab . dLeft=256 dTop=111  every one

256 is the rail width and 111 the header height. Reported as the menu landing
"in a random spot further down to the right"; it was never random.

An earlier probe measured six triggers at four viewport widths and passed, so
the card was closed while the bug was still there. Every number was accurate.
They were answers about a surface the user never looks at -- widening across
more widths could not have found it, because the variable was the host.

Fix measures the containing block instead of assuming it: a fixed probe at 0,0
inserted in the menu's own parent reports the origin the menu resolves against.
When nothing captures, that origin is 0,0 and the standalone numbers are
unchanged bit-for-bit.

Not fixed by dropping contain from the layout: it is load-bearing there,
stopping a rail collapse from reflowing a heavy mounted map.

check:fixed-anchoring measures both hosts and treats an unmeasured host as a
failure. Negative-tested: reverting the subtraction fails the studio host with
dLeft=256 while standalone still passes -- it fails exactly where the old probe
passed.

Also cards a second symptom of the same cause, not yet fixed: fixed-position
modal scrims written inset:0 stretch to the content pane instead of the
viewport, leaving the rail clickable behind an open modal.

e1d27cb476 Record which kind of verification closed each card
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
A card was closed on an agent measurement while the bug was still visible to
the Driver, and the card had no field in which that disagreement could live.
The board said done and the product said broken, and nothing in the data knew.

Adds fields.verification (agent|human|both) plus verification_kind
(visual|state) and a conflict flag, back-filled across 179 closed cards, and
a gate that refuses an anonymous close.

The gate does not require human sign-off. Gating the board on human review was
tried and it stalled. What it forbids is losing the distinction, so the
question "which of these did a human actually look at?" stays answerable.

The visual/state split encodes the asymmetry the Driver named: human
verification is more reliable on visual bugs, agent verification on non-visual
ones. A headless probe reads geometry, not perception -- it can measure a menu
at dTop=4 and still be blind to it feeling wrong. So a visual card closed on
agent evidence is a hypothesis; a state card closed on agent evidence is a
result. The counts are reported separately.

Negative-tested three ways: stripping a tag, claiming human verification with
no quote, and marking a conflict card done each exit 1 by name.

d79f01590f Put the CSV header on the first line so the export opens as a table
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The export carried its provenance comment above the header, and every spreadsheet
importer treats line one as the header — so the scope sentence became the column names
and the real header became the first data row. A single-column line above a sixty-eight
column table is what "glitched" looks like on screen.

Three other explanations were plausible and all three are wrong, measured before
anything changed: the file is comma-separated, not tab-separated, so the tabs in the
report were terminal rendering rather than bytes; the escaper is genuinely RFC-4180, and
embedded commas, quotes and newlines all survive a strict parser round trip; and
injection-prefixed cells were already neutralised. Only the position was wrong, and
chasing the other three would have produced churn and no fix.

The provenance line moves to the end rather than away. It records which filters produced
the file, which is the difference between a dataset and an anecdote, and a trailing
single-column row lands as one populated cell instead of destroying the column mapping.
The field counter that read line two moved with it — left alone it would have counted
the first data row, usually the same number, so it would have looked right and been
wrong.

A new check parses the export the way a spreadsheet would, which no existing gate did:
forty-six checks and not one read the file. It extracts the shipped escaper rather than
restating the rule, so it cannot agree with itself while the product disagrees.
Negative-tested by putting the comment back on top.

ec012f45b6 White rings on the pins, one place for selections, and two gates that told the truth
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
Pins keep their navy but gain a white ring and a radius that shrinks as you zoom out, so
neighbouring dots separate instead of merging into one blue mass. The Driver asked for
rings rather than clustering, explicitly to avoid more logic.

The top header no longer carries selection state. That belongs under the filter toggles,
in the second header, and nowhere else.

The filter menu is anchored to its trigger again. It had been moved to fixed positioning
to escape a scroller that was clipping it out of existence, and viewport coordinates go
stale in ways that put the menu somewhere unrelated to the box that opened it.

A gallery row now carries its identity as an attribute. A Vue key is a reconciliation
hint and is never rendered, so the smoke check read undefined and reported a broken deep
link on a page that works — measured zero occurrences of that attribute in both the
generator and the built page. Asserting on the visible label instead would have coupled
a machine check to display text.

That repaired gate immediately earned its keep: it caught the gallery asking for assets
one directory too deep. The relative asset base was correct while the gallery was the
root page and silently wrong once it moved aside for the studio, and the failure surfaced
as a JSON parse error rather than a 404, because an unknown path answers with HTML.

950d3dff7f Catch a plugin the manifest forgets, without calling a gated one a defect
A bundle can be compiled and present on disk while its profiles never reach the
manifest, and nothing noticed: the leaf floor counts index.html recursively, so one
bundle losing every leaf while another keeps extras stays above the floor; the
embed-target check iterates what the manifest lists, so an omission is invisible to it;
and a bundle count passes too, because one bundle can be swapped for another and the
totals still match. Counting is not covering. The only way to see an omission is to
compare the manifest against the scanner rather than against itself.

The first version of this check cried wolf on its first real run. It reported key-cities
as missing — discovered with four profiles, absent from the manifest, and still absent
after a full rebuild, which made it look persistent and real. It is neither: the build
config gates that bundle by name and generate-tree filters on it, so the bundle is
legitimately discovered and legitimately unpublished. The scanner answers what exists;
the config answers what ships. Asserting the first against the manifest without
consulting the second asserts an invariant that was never true.

That failure mattered more than the bug it was chasing. A gate that reports a deliberate
configuration as a defect gets switched off, and a switched-off gate protects nothing —
so the check now reads the same config the build reads, and names the gated bundles in
its passing output so the exclusion stays visible rather than becoming folklore.

A manifest entry the scanner does not return is reported as a note rather than a
failure: stale build output heals on the next full build, while a missing plugin is
silently absent from the studio for everyone reviewing the product.

Negative-tested: removing any published bundle from the manifest fails with exit 1
naming it; restoring passes; the gated bundle never trips it.

8b1e3d3f5d Stop the capability-5 shells claiming a native element property
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
Both shells declared a `title` prop. defineCustomElement maps every prop to an
attribute, and `title` already exists on every HTMLElement as the tooltip, so Vue warned
on every single mount that it would overwrite the native property. Harmless in effect —
nothing here wants a tooltip — but a warning repeated on every mount is where a real
error goes to hide, and this repo has already paid for that once when a thrown setup()
silently removed three buttons behind noise that looked ignorable.

Renaming the prop was safe because nothing outside ever set it: no host passes title=,
no profile-config reads it, and the value is only forwarded to the shared layout, which
is an ordinary Vue component rather than a custom element and so has no collision of its
own. Both shells carried the identical declaration — the same duplicate-implementation
pattern that earlier turned one resolver assumption into two separate outages — so both
were fixed together.

The studio smoke check now samples several tabs instead of only the first, and measures
node depth inside the mounted element rather than counting the slot's children. The old
check read one child for every pane whether the element rendered a full dashboard or
nothing at all, which is the "mounts is not works" trap its own header warns about. It
polls for content rather than sleeping a fixed interval, because a fixed wait either runs
too slow to use on every edit or marks a slow tab broken, and a gate that cries wolf gets
switched off.

Measured after: zero Vue warnings in the browser console.

f702fa0853 Track the embed-target gate, which was registered but never committed
check:embed-targets was already wired into package.json while the file it runs sat
untracked — so a fresh clone got a script that could not execute. It asserts that every
embed.iframe src in the manifest resolves to a file on disk, which is the load-bearing
check for the iframe deployment method: one of only two of the five that are proven.

That assertion matters more now than it did. The build stopped emitting a chooser page
per bundle, which took the recursive leaf count from sixty-three to forty-four, so the
coarse leaf floor no longer distinguishes "nineteen pages deliberately removed" from
"a partial wipe deleted real leaves". This gate does: it names the missing file and the
manifest path that pointed at it.

Negative-tested: hiding one leaf fails with exit 1 naming both the file and its JSON
path; restoring returns to a clean forty-three.

38a7dbb939 Land the swarm's work: no iframes anywhere, a tree that keeps its shape, deeper facets
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
Checkpointing thirteen files of agent work that were sitting uncommitted while three
agents wrote to a live tree the Driver was watching through hot reload. Uncommitted work
is work at risk, and a tree being edited under an observer oscillates between states that
look like regressions and are really just partial saves.

The second capability-5 shell now mounts its tabs as real elements too, so no iframe
remains in either shell. It was the last holdout: eight tabs, all iframe mode, each
pointing at a hardcoded built-tree leaf that does not exist under the dev server.

The facet rail keeps its shape when a filter narrows it. Selecting one place took the
rail from sixty-six rows to twenty-one — forty-six rows deleted, none dimmed — so the row
a user was about to click vanished under the cursor, which is what "the buttons went
dead" actually was. Rows whose count falls to zero are now re-admitted at their original
slot and depth, dimmed and inert, which also restores the component's own promise to lose
nothing against the tree it replaced.

Expanding a branch and filtering by it are now separate, visible affordances: the whole
row filters, and expand is a real button with its own hit area and label. Rows that were
never clickable are unmistakably inert rather than silently ignored.

Three more facet axes reach the grid — affinity bloc, engagement status and primary
language — each verified to share a field with an existing prop rather than being mapped
on name resemblance. Two derived facets remain unmapped on purpose: they have no matching
row field, and mapping them would filter confidently to the wrong rows.

to an already-rooted URL 404'd all 29 studio tabs, and finding it took 32 minutes. The
root-cause analysis attributes the largest single share of that to there being no gate
that exercises the dev server at all — of 46 gate-ish scripts and 13 browser gates, none
did. The built manifest hands relative refs and the dev manifest hands rooted ones, so a
base-join bug is invisible to every build-time gate and fatal to every developer.

The check finishes in about four seconds against an already-running dev server, which is
the point: the full sweep costs about seventy-five, so it only ever gets run at the end
of a change, which is exactly how a regression rides along unnoticed. It activates one
tab rather than twenty-nine because a single mount already exercises the whole resolver
path — manifest fetch, script resolve, module load, define, mount. If the resolver is
wrong, the first tab fails like all of them.

It asserts the five things that have actually broken: that the root serves the studio and
not a staging page, that the element both mounts and registers, that the tab list is not
empty, that no request failed, and that the activated pane holds real content — because
an element can register and attach while its content never arrives, which is what a
missing API base looks like.

An unreachable dev server exits 2 rather than 1. Conflating "no server" with "broken
product" is how a gate earns a reputation for flakiness and gets switched off.

Negative-tested: removing the tree base makes it fail on the empty tab list, and an
unreachable URL exits 2; restoring returns to green.

371119a3f8 Bake the API base into the dev pages so dashboards are not silently empty
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run
The built leaf pages set window.MAP_APP_API_URL; the dev pages set only the Mapbox
token. Every dashboard in dev therefore fell back to a relative /api/people-groups/list,
which Vite answers with SPA-fallback HTML at HTTP 200 — so the fetch "succeeds", the
parse yields nothing, and the facet rail renders zero rows with no console error and no
error card. One studio sweep produced eight such requests. It reads as a broken
component and is really a missing global.

Both dev routes now read the value from the same build config the built leaves use, so
the two surfaces agree by construction rather than through a second hard-coded copy, and
each route resolves the token and the API base from a single config read so they cannot
disagree about their source. Measured after: the research dashboard renders 66 facet
rows and 216 table cells with zero 4xx.
