+#
+# "What content is new to the gate" differs by change shape:
+#  - plain edit/add (no rename): the staged DIFF additions — spec "diff adds …",
+#    so a prose/typo fix to a doc that already contains a fence stays light.
+#  - rename WITHIN the gated namespace (docs/→docs/, knowledge/→…): the rename-paired
+#    diff — a pure move adds nothing (light); a move+edit shows only the real delta.
+#  - rename INTO the gated namespace from outside (root→docs/, scratch→docs/): the
+#    file is gated for the FIRST time, so its ENTIRE staged content is new to the gate
+#    and is scanned whole. Otherwise content authored in an ungated path could be
+#    `git mv`'d into docs/ to evade review (fh_signal_2026-06-08_hook-rename-false-positive,

+# hook out of templates/ reported ONLY the destination, so HEAVY and UGUARD_IMPL came up empty and a
+# commit could DELETE the gate while the gate said PASS. Disabling rename detection lists both the
+# old path (deletion) and the new one, so moving a protected file out is still a protected-path edit.
+# NUL-delimited here too (R4, 2026-07-26): quotePath=false stops NON-ASCII quoting, but git still
+# C-quotes a path containing a backslash, and the quoted spelling matches none of the classifier's
+# path terms — so `scripts/back\slash.sh` (a governance script by every rule FH has) dropped clean
+# through to "no FH assets staged". Fixing only the confidentiality loop left this half open: same

+# seam: the engine that enforces the 4-axis could itself ship unverified. Gated broadly,
+# not by an allowlist, so a NEW gate script cannot silently slip in ungated (the drift
+# that would re-open the seam). Scope is `scripts/*.sh` BY CONVENTION (all current gate
+# engines are .sh under scripts/): a governance script with another extension (.py) or
+# placed elsewhere (bin/) is NOT auto-caught and must be hand-gated — broaden this term
+# if that changes. Axis 1 (regression_guard) skips non-markdown, so the live effect on a
+# script is Axes 2-3 (adversarial design + phantom), NOT behavioral regression — that is
+# covered downstream (selfcheck.sh / count_check.sh at publish), not by this commit gate.
+# seam #3 (2026-06-27): agent definitions (plugins/*/agents/*.md, .claude/agents/*.md) are
+# salience-dependent FH assets — a sub-agent follows its prose prompt, the exact class the gate +
+# target-tier-sim discipline targets — yet matched NONE of the HEAVY terms above, so a behavioral
+# change to an agent could ship with only Axis 1+4. Gated broadly (whole file, not substantive-only):
+# an agent .md IS a behavioral spec, so even "prose" edits change behavior (unlike knowledge/ docs,
+# which carve out pure-prose edits). N=3 of the gate-locality class (scripts/ 06-26, AGENTS.md
+# inheritance #111/#117). If pure-doc agent .md edits over-friction in practice, add a substantive
+# carve-out like CARVEOUT below.
+# seam #4 (2026-07-26): SKILL_detail.md. The term above was `SKILL\.md`, and the string
+# "SKILL_detail.md" does NOT contain "SKILL.md" — the underscore breaks it — so every detail file
+# matched NOTHING here and nothing in regression_guard's pathspec either. Measured: 17 files /

+# i.e. a gate skill's own behavioral spec changed with zero 4-axis coverage). N=4 of the

+# Adversarial (Axis 2) floor compliance was advisory-only — it depended on the
+# orchestrator self-flagging in prose, which fails on rule salience, not tier
+# (fh_signal_2026-06-10_adversarial-floor-enforcement: blind A/B showed both Opus
+# and Sonnet self-flag when the rule is in active context; the live slip happened
+# because it wasn't). So the marker now REQUIRES machine-greppable floor fields,
+# and the hook validates them — compliance no longer depends on recall.
+#
+# Required marker fields (free prose may follow them):
+#   axis2-engine: quench-challenger | inline | <external cli>
+#   axis2-model:  <tier that produced the adversarial pass, e.g. opus>
+#   axis2-evidence: <what the pass actually found — finding count + verdict, or

+#                      cover, not mechanism (cryptographic provenance is unachievable when the
+#                      runner controls everything the hook can see). This field makes the marker
+#                      auditable (the audit can check the recorded verdict against reality) and
