promotion-gate

When to use

• /evolution promote <candidate-id> — user explicitly requests promotion.
• Before manual editing of stable/global.md — to confirm a proposed edit would have passed the gate.

Protocol

1. Identify the candidate file: ~/.claude/evolution/candidates/<id>.yaml.
2. Run gate check: bash ~/.claude/evolution/bin/evolve-promote.sh --check <id>.
3. Show the user each gate result (pass/fail with the specific reason).
4. If all gates pass AND the user confirms, run: bash ~/.claude/evolution/bin/evolve-promote.sh <id>.
5. Show the resulting diff of stable/global.md (or stable/by-project/<slug>.md).
6. Record the promotion as an evidence event (type: adaptation).
