gate

Release Gate: $ARGUMENTS

Nineteen conditions, conjunctive. Nineteen of nineteen, or the package is not release-ready.

Required Skills

• scoring-and-release-gate — the ten-dimension rubric, the nineteen conditions, and the verdict vocabulary

The contract this command enforces

Failing is decidable from a subset. Passing is not.

Twelve mechanical conditions are enough to prove a package is not releasable — one broken link suffices. They are never enough to prove it is, because the judgment set includes both scorecard conditions and three of the four "must never appear" rules. A gate that passed on mechanics alone would certify a package whose planned features are documented as shipped and whose targets are printed as measurements, having read neither.

So bin/dossier-gate.sh structurally refuses to emit PASS without a valid scorer verdict file. Absent, stale, revision-mismatched, round-mismatched, or silent on any judgment condition yields INCONCLUSIVE — which maps to not ready, never to conditionally ready. "We did not check" is an absence of assurance, not a condition to attach.
