audit-gate-logic — Does the gate actually stop what it claims?

Degree of freedom: MIXED — Phases 0–2.5 [HIGH freedom]; Phase 3 history/probe [LOW freedom — run exactly] (no scratch branch unless asked).

Read-only. audit-cicd asks "is the pipeline fast, cheap, and safe to run." This asks "does the gate stop what it claims to stop." A green check is a claim. The expensive failures are the ones where CI passed and shouldn't have.

Present findings. Do not edit workflows, branch protection, or baselines. Consolidation of the archaeology map → housekeep-gates. Rule-to-mechanical gaps → enhance-agent-guardrails. Whether the rule content is right (remedy, named token, Tier-D practice) → audit-doctrine.
