Frank d4ce76b68b refact(comments): state the mechanism, not the incident
Every comment that invoked a 'law' (50 word-boundary sites across 28
tracked files) now states what is going on and why, in terms that
transfer to any project: gate twins drift until one side greenlights
what the other refuses; a tag re-points while a digest pins; a
restrictive engine behavior belongs to the runtime that imposed it and
must be re-tested, not inherited; a speculative head is tensors in the
file, not a flag; snapshot links dangle where the container resolves
them; exit 0 is a clean stop to systemd, so a self-exiting daemon on
on-failure goes dark reporting success. Event narratives and dates are
gone from these comments; the mechanics carry the argument.

Behavior-identical: bash -n, py_compile, yaml parse, full bats suite
408/408 green. One symbol rename rides along (stack script local
scale_law -> scale_contract, with its log text).

# llm-gates.sh — the artifact gates every LLM endpoint runs before it starts.
#
# Why this file exists: every LLM endpoint gates its payload twice — the
# serve script at start, the deployer before dispatch. Two hand-written
# copies of the same checks drift apart in wording and strictness, and the
# drift surfaces as deploy-time disagreement: one side passes, the other
# refuses, and the failure lands in production instead of in the gate.
# Both sides source this library, so the refusal is one text and one rule.
#
# Contract (public interface):
# require_exec PATH LABEL HINT
# require_file PATH LABEL HINT
# require_bytes PATH LABEL WANT_BYTES HINT
# require_min_mib PATH LABEL MIN_MIB HINT
# require_dir_files DIR LABEL HINT FILE...
# require_image REF HINT
#
# Each returns 0 and prints nothing on success. On failure it prints two
# lines to stderr — the first naming the endpoint ($GATE_PREFIX) and the
# artifact, the second the remedy — and returns 1. It NEVER exits: the serve
# scripts run under `set -e` (so a refusal is terminal), while the deployer
# wants `|| return 1` so a failed gate reports a red deploy for that one
# service and the dispatcher's state marker stays pending.
# Lines are labelled by ARTIFACT CLASS, and the class is the whole label
# (the path rides in the same line): the class + path is what an operator
# acts on, so no wording order and no payload rename can make the two twins
# disagree. The deployer's old "halogen vision tower" and the serve script's
# "vision-tower" were one gate in two vocabularies that no grep could join.
# Size checks use equality, not a floor, for `require_bytes`: a fetch that
# truncates looks like a success (an HTTP error exit is often swallowed, and
# the error body is written in the artifact's place), so "exists and is big
# enough" is not proof of the right artifact. The declared byte count is a
# contract in both directions — a bigger file is a DIFFERENT artifact.
# GATE_PREFIX names the endpoint in every refusal (e.g. frank-dragoon). The
# caller exports it; shellcheck cannot follow it across the source boundary,
# so the read site carries the directive.
# shellcheck disable=SC2034
: "${GATE_PREFIX:=gate}"
# Two bash behaviors make the `return 1` at every call site load-bearing:
# * a function whose body ends inside an `if` returns the CONDITION's
# status (true = 0), so a gate that ends on its own refusal prints the
# refusal and reports SUCCESS;
# * `set -e` is suspended for any command in a `… || …` chain, so a gate
# that runs inside one must not be trusted to abort the caller.
# Every gate's refusal therefore carries an explicit `|| return 1`, and the
# caller consumes the status (`|| exit 1`, `|| return 1`).
