  "_README": "Per-project gate declaration: the ordered list of verification commands (tests, validators, scanners, docs checks) that must be green before a commit. Run them all in one batch with the family gate runner (the composition root's `gates` command); re-run one with `--only <id>`. Each entry is { id, title, cmd } plus ONE optional key: `id` = a unique kebab-case handle, `title` = a short human label, `cmd` = ONE bash command line — gates are spawned via bash (brace/glob expansion works; a host without bash gets a loud preflight error, never a silent reinterpretation under another shell) — and `lcovProducer` (boolean, optional) DECLARES that this gate writes the lcov the coverage checker reads, for a suite the kit's closed `node --test` recognition cannot read on its own. Only the literal true claims it, and it widens what the declaration may CLAIM, never what a run CERTIFIES: a marked gate that produces no lcov still ends `skipped-no-lcov` at run time. This file declares WHAT to check, never who executes it — the schema has no lane/model/routing fields and rejects unknown keys loudly. Trust posture: the runner executes this project's OWN declared commands with the caller's privileges — a batching convenience over commands the project already runs by hand, not a sandbox. Strict JSON — no comments.",
