Rule 8 demanded a working S-label from every class A/B commit's issue,
while owner decision #118 sends infrastructure work outside the S1..S8
flow entirely — such an issue has no status label by construction. The
two rules contradicted each other and the machine-checked one won, so
Validate on dev went red on every infrastructure commit (#175, #191,
#202, #206) and the catch-up signal stopped meaning anything. A gate that
is always red is not a gate.
The waiver keys on the diff, not on a permission label: a range with no
class A file at all. An `infra` label could be pinned on a product task
to walk a product commit past the status check; ceasing to touch class A
without ceasing to be infrastructure work is not possible. Issue
existence, open state, `blocked` and fail-closed on an unreachable gh all
still apply, and the waiver prints a visible warning rather than passing
in silence.
Mutation-checked both ways: unwiring the waiver reddens the CLI test,
and letting class A keep the waiver reddens both new tests.

The old fixture ran the branch into the end of p1, so the T-patch lived
beyond the host (x>100) and the probe point [92,0] sat outside it under
any code behaviour: deleting the cutPartitionBody flatMap over patches
kept all subtests green (#188, found at the #132 code review).
The branch now meets the middle of the span, putting both node patches
inside the default opening's slot. The test proves its own fixture first:
an uncut run must show the patches bridging the slot, so if the geometry
ever stops producing them the control goes red instead of silently
devaluing the real assertion. Mutation-checked: reverting the flatMap
fails exactly this test, 888/889.

After the mandatory rebase of a published issue branch the pre-push hook
still passes remote_old..local_new, and once the old tip is no longer an
ancestor that range drags in the whole advanced dev history: on #117 it
meant 84 foreign commits and 20 false rule-8 rejections over already
closed issues, leaving --no-verify as the only exit.
The clamp lives in the gate rather than the hook: .githooks/pre-push
carries an executable bit that MCP publication strips (the commit-msg
precedent), so editing it needs an owner-side commit. When the target is
an issue branch and the declared base is not an ancestor of the head, the
base becomes the merge-base with origin/dev. Fast-forward pushes keep
their exact range, every own commit is still judged, and a real violation
in a post-rebase commit still blocks — covered by a scenario test that
goes red without the wiring.

On Windows URL.pathname yields /C:/..., which spawnSync then reads as C:\C:\...
and the whole npm test run dies in this one test. Linux CI never caught it
because both spellings coincide there — which is exactly why the canonical gate
lives on Linux and the local run is advisory.
