/**
 * The console level — the single piece of state `consoleLevel` configures, and the single predicate
 * that decides whether a given {@link StatusLevel} reaches the terminal.
 *
 * ## Why this is a module of its own and not a section of `consoleUtils`
 *
 * The gate has to be reachable by every writer, and `consoleUtils` is not a place every writer can
 * import from. Its helpers each take a whole message and terminate it with a newline, so a writer
 * that emits a PARTIAL line — `utils/ProgressIndicator.ts`, which writes a label, then a dot per
 * second, then the newline that closes the line — has no helper it can use and, while the level was
 * private to that module, no gate it could consult either. What it did instead was write straight to
 * `systemUtils`' stdout, which put a whole class of terminal output outside the level system: no
 * rung of `consoleLevel`, including `error`, could quieten it.
 *
 * Splitting the state out costs nothing and removes the reason: consulting the gate no longer means
 * importing the console surface. {@link @gaunt-sloth/core!utils/consoleUtils | consoleUtils}
 * re-exports the three public setters so `consoleLevel` keeps one public spelling, and both it and
 * the indicator now ask the same {@link shouldDisplayLevel}.
 *
 * It also makes the gate real under test, which matters for a gate: specs across all three packages
 * replace `consoleUtils` wholesale with a factory mock, and a predicate imported from there is one
 * that disappears in exactly the specs that drive the writers.
