/press

Press may add or strengthen tests and make tiny corrective fixes only when a test exposes a clear defect in the cooked scope.

--hard propagation

/press --hard (propagated from /cook --hard) is pass-through only. Press runs no gate. Hand --hard forward to /age at the handoff so it eventually reaches /cure, which is the only pipeline skill that fires the metacognitive vibecheck. See skills/hard-cheese/SKILL.md.

Baseline-aware gates

When the cooked diff's handoff slug carries a recorded baseline: block, press re-runs the project's gates but does not re-flag or re-halt on failures identical to that baseline (same test, same signature) — only new or changed failures affect readiness. See ../cook/references/quality-gates.md for the classification and policy.
