A gate scoped by a bundle's own declared stage misses what a production reader
sees. Two production leaves compose three bundles that declare themselves
experimental, so the code on those pages was held to the experimental bar --
not by anyone's decision, but because the scope was computed from the wrong end
of the composition.
Effective stage: production if it declares production, or if anything
production-for-gating composes it, transitively. The graph's edges come in two
shapes, a bare bundle name and a bundle/profile pair, and reading only one
silently halves it.
It lives in its own module because check:frozen-labels needs the same rule.
Two gates with their own idea of "production" would disagree by passing a file
the other fails, with neither obviously wrong.
The scan goes from seven plugins to ten, nineteen files to twenty-nine, and
from 178 to 274. The 96 are not new: they are English on production pages that
no gate was measuring. The report names which plugins are in scope only by
composition, and why, since that is the first question a reader will have.
