Windows portability (the three red tests on the owner's machine at green CI):
- scripts/spawn-portable.mjs: isMainModule via pathToFileURL (the
`file://${argv[1]}` form gives file:///C:/C:/... and the CLI stays silent);
portableCommand — a shell only for npm/npx/.cmd, node and git run directly
(spawn via shell dropped the quotes of `node -e "…"`). Applied to
classify-changes, mutation-gate-report, review-doc-guard, check-inputs,
merge-candidate, gate-small, rebase-on-dev.
- the rebase-on-dev test pins core.autocrlf=false / core.eol=lf through
GIT_CONFIG_* for its temp repository instead of touching the user's git
config; test/windows-portability.test.mjs forbids both anti-patterns.
Pins: scripts/toolchain-pins.mjs reads Node/Python from validate.yml, the HA
stack from tests_backend/requirements.txt, Playwright/Chromium from the
lockfile — no second dictionary; `npm run toolchain:check` compares the
machine; .nvmrc/.python-version are derived and tested equal;
scripts/wsl-setup.sh provisions WSL/Linux with those pins.
scripts/task-packet.mjs: one derived view of an issue (status, rights, owner
decisions, branch vs dev, Validate on the tip, previous verdict with recorded
tree, AC → evidence, unwitnessed). scripts/wait-verdict.mjs: polls labels,
pipeline comments and optionally Validate, prints only on state change, exit
0/3/4, writes nothing.
gate:small --smokes: after build the browser phase runs bundle-sync and then
the directly matched and registered smokes, two at a time; broad matches stay
with the reviewer. package.json changed, so the bundle is rebuilt here.

Validate ran three smoke shards, golden and performance_smoke on every push,
check-docs went red on any src/** change until screenshots were re-captured,
and a parallel bundle build made every second task branch fail to rebase.
None of these gates ever failed at review time; they fail before betas.
- `heavy` output in job `changes` (scripts/classify-changes.mjs): smoke,
smoke_done, golden, performance_smoke run only for a head commit with a
`Release:` trailer, `workflow_dispatch full=true` and pull requests.
- nightly.yml dispatches Validate on dev with full=true every night.
- check-docs `--screenshots=warn|strict`: freshness of the screenshot index
warns on a plain push, errors on the candidate; everything else still errors.
- publish-prerelease.yml and release.yml refuse a candidate without the
`Release:` trailer and (prerelease) require fresh screenshots — a green
Validate without the heavy jobs cannot pass for a release.
- scripts/rebase-on-dev.mjs: rebase on origin/dev taking dev's copy of the
committed bundle, rebuild with bundle:sync, amend; any other conflict aborts.
- npm run gate:small: mandatory PROCESS §8 part in one parallel run.
