Verification Gates & Self-Correction Loop

To ensure repository stability, all major changes must pass through a series of "Verification Gates."

The Gates

1. Build Gate: npm run build (or equivalent).
2. Test Gate: npm test (or equivalent).
3. Lint Gate: npm run lint or ruff check.

The Self-Correction Workflow

Whenever a gate fails (e.g., via the gate tool), follow this loop:

1. Capture: Inspect the stderr and stdout provided by the gate tool.
2. Analyze: Explicitly state the root cause of the failure.
3. Fix: Apply a patch or modification to address the cause.
4. Retry: Re-run the gate tool with the same command.
