Línea de trabajo

Examine the tools/ directory to list all gate scripts (.sh and .py). For each, check CI history and commit logs to see when it last caught a regression. Compare against structural guarantees like the merge queue (#1264), real wasm build (#1267/#1274), and generated docs (#1269). Start with #1274 as a concrete case to retire or shrink the -m32 gate. Record line counts before and after consolidation.

Mean merged PR size: 352 lines (Aug, 52 PRs) → 1,244 (Sep, 68 PRs). Of September's ten largest PRs, six contain 0% product code: #1224 (+7,575, 92% gates/tests/CI), #1226 (+5,130), #1175 (+4,151), #1225 (+4,038), #1164 (+4,045) and #1208 (+3,899, 95%). #1124 was +19,928 with 37% product.

Each gate was built for a real incident. The growth came from each gate then acquiring self-tests, planted faults and checks-of-checks, with nothing ever asking whether a gate still earns its size or has been superseded by something structural. This is the same problem as "have we made CI too hard" (#1264), pointed at our own tooling. Mature languages keep checking machinery small by leaning on structure: a merge queue, building the real target, generating docs from source.

Scope.

  1. Freeze: no new gate script unless it replaces an existing one at equal or smaller size, until item 2 is done. PRs in flight (#1273 and the #1264 contributor-friction PR) are held to this.
  2. Consolidation pass. For every gate in tools/, record its size, the last time it caught a real regression (CI history, or a commit/PR citing it), and whether a structural guarantee now covers it: the merge queue (#1264), the real wasm build (#1267/#1274), generated reference docs (#1269), derived counts (#1264), changelog fragments (#1268). Delete or merge the ones that never fire or are superseded, and record the before/after totals.
  3. Counterweight in the method. The mechanical-gates skill gets a size-budget principle and "prefer a structural guarantee over a script that checks for it". Builder briefs carry a size budget for check machinery.
  4. Visibility: the ratio of gate lines to product lines goes in the daily report, so the trend is seen.

First concrete case: #1274 (retire or shrink the -m32 approximation gate).
