Server POST /tasks/{id}/merge no longer has record/enforce/off:
hard_mode_from_env and HARD_MODES deleted (not re-defaulted),
handler always evaluates the hard gate, env CLOUD_MERGE_GATE_MODE
and body merge_gate_mode are ignored server-side. The record
'no-evidence passes' and 'unprotected+confirm passes with
merge_gate_risk' server paths are gone with the dead risk audit;
no production caller justified keeping them (only production
caller of the non-hard evaluator was the merge handler itself;
audit_loop_wiring already used the hard gate). cloud/merge_gate
pure functions keep their #209 semantics but are documented as
non-server: they are no longer wired to any endpoint.
Server-level record/enforce/off tests rewritten to the new
behavior (renamed, not deleted silently); pure-function tests
unchanged.
(cherry picked from commit 08e75edbd6d04701965c5db951fa054cfbb75bb0)
Reconcile-port: handler_lifecycle.py hunks redirected into cloud/server.py _merge_task (target keeps 6-mixin split; mixin file does not exist here); handler_support.py kept at HEAD (its A1 hunk is a docstring of _validate_hard_gate_body, ported to server.py copy); test mock paths cloud.handler_lifecycle.* rewritten to cloud.server.*.
- cloud/merge_gate.py: pure gate; directory check reuses the v0.3
git diff --name-only merge-base command; protection modes
record (default, explicit confirm required when unprotected),
enforce (always blocks when unprotected), off (explicit only).
Confirm covers protection risk only, never directory violations.
Protection status is caller/env-declared only; unknown is a
recorded risk, not a claim of protection.
- server POST /tasks/{id}/merge: applies the gate only when gate
evidence is supplied (or env declares protection); no-evidence
calls behave as before plus a merge_gate field in the response.
Blocked merges return 409 without changing status; confirmed
unprotected merges write a merge_gate_risk audit entry.
- skill_seed.py: whole-directory seeding evaluated and rejected
(cannot preserve tenant deletions; no benefit while the pack
holds only SKILL.md); SKILL.md-only behaviour unchanged.
- software-engineering SKILL.md: gate paragraph added to the body
and to the coordinator + client appendix sections (v0.2 text on
this base; port to v0.3 text on rebase after #199 merges).
- tests: 16 new tests covering gate modes, directory reuse,
body/appendix bidirectional assertions naming the missing side,
SKILL.md-only seeding and tenant-edit preservation.
