Research direction

Start by tracing the route.gate configuration and the session record mentioned in the issue, then identify the entry points for primary and escalation attempts. Define the check outcomes and gate composition around the listed build, tests, and contract checks, including skipped checks and machine-readable failure reasons. Done means both lanes record comparable gate results, with coverage for pass, fail, skipped, composition, and failure payloads.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Parent: #1134

The escalation trigger is deterministic verification, not model self-report:

  • Define a verify_gate interface: named checks that return pass/fail + a machine-readable reason. v1 checks: project build succeeds; declared data tests pass; schema-contract diff (written models/columns match the task's declared contract when one exists).
  • Gate runs identically after primary AND escalation attempts (measurement needs both lanes' outcomes).
  • Configurable per project: route.gate: [build, tests, contract]; sensible defaults; a check that cannot run (e.g. no tests declared) reports "skipped", never blocks.
  • Gate results are part of the session record (consumed by measurement subtask).
  • Tests: each check's pass/fail/skipped paths; gate composition; failure-reason payloads.
