The gate now runs pytest as well, so one command answers whether the code
base is broken: syntax, protocol imports, the 125 core tests, then the lab
functional suites. It fails when a test fails, verified by feeding it a
deliberately broken test.
Two leftovers from moving the labs into experiments/ are fixed: the lab
command still pointed at tests/, and the hook only watched protocol and
tests, so edits under experiments/ and tools/ triggered nothing.
Profiling the 3.6 s gate: 0.24 s syntax, 0.12 s imports, 0.61 s pytest,
2.7 s lab functional suites, of which Lab042's software loopback is 1.14 s
because it pushes a whole image through the chain. The pytest addition is
the small part. prepare_jpeg is now cached, since six checks call it and
each call re-encoded the image at several qualities.
README described the gate without the tests it now runs.
Introduce tools/quick_gate.py: a one-second check that parses every file
in protocol, tests and tools, imports each protocol module, and runs the
functional tests of the labs that need no experiment data.
Wire it to a PostToolUse hook so edits under protocol or tests are checked
automatically, and add two read-only review agents with slash commands that
drive them: verifier for independent re-derivation of results, adversary for
unsafe-state hunting in control, failsafe, session and reset code.
