+/**
+ * Gate — a rule that declares `norm` stays inside the budget it declared.
+ *
+ * `road-to-standing-payload-diet` Phase 1 step 1.2.
+ *
+ * ## What `norm` pins, and why nothing pinned it before
+ *
+ * A rule file mixes three things at one uniform standing cost: the obligation
+ * (an Iron Law and its clauses), the routing (pointers to skills and
+ * guidelines), and the rationale (why the rule exists, what it measured, what it
+ * declines to claim). All three are re-sent on every session and every spawn.
+ * Only the first two have to be. Before this gate, `norm` appeared nowhere in
+ * `src/rules/` and nowhere in `rule.schema.json` (0 hits, measured 2026-08-23),
+ * so nothing objected when a rule grew by 200 lines of rationale.
+ *
+ * `norm.tokens` is the declared exact-BPE ceiling for the rule body below the
+ * frontmatter; `norm.remainder` names where the non-normative prose went. Both
+ * are required together, and the pairing is the point rather than tidiness: a
+ * pin with no destination is a licence to delete, and `preservation-guard`
+ * forbids deleting a passage during a transformation. The schema enforces the
+ * pairing; this gate enforces the number.
+ *
+ * ## Three deliberate properties
+ *
+ * 1. **Opt-in, and the opt-out count is the published metric.** Rules without
+ *    `norm` are SKIPPED and counted, and the count is printed on the green path.
+ *    A required key would have redded every rule file on the day it landed,
+ *    which is the gate-that-teaches-you-to-ignore-it failure
+ *    `src/config/preamble-payload-budget.json` warns about in its own
+ *    `_comment`. So the un-pinned fraction is a number rather than an unknown.
+ * 2. **Exact tokenizer, or refuse to judge.** `js-tiktoken` is a devDependency
+ *    and can be absent. Where it is, this gate does NOT fall back to the
+ *    `chars/4` proxy and pass anyway — a pin enforced in a different unit from
+ *    the one it was derived in is enforced against a number nobody can
+ *    reproduce. It exits 2 and says so.
+ * 3. **`assertScanned` posture.** Zero rule files is exit 3, not green. This
+ *    repo has shipped gates that scanned an emptied tree and certified coverage
+ *    that did not exist.
+ *
+ * ## What it deliberately does NOT check
+ *
+ * Whether the body that remains is *genuinely* normative. That is a human read.
+ * The gate checks a declared number against a measured one, and the schema
+ * checks that a destination exists; `check_references` checks the destination
+ * resolves. None of the three can tell obligation from rationale, and claiming
+ * otherwise would be the coverage inflation this tree keeps removing.
+ *
+ * Modes: `--quiet` verdict only · `--json` machine-readable · `--self-test`.
+ *
+ * Exit codes: 0 every pin honoured · 1 a pin exceeded · 2 no exact tokenizer or
+ * a usage error · 3 dead scan scope.
