+/**
+ * merge-ready (mmnto-ai/totem#2800): a PreToolUse gate over the Bash and
+ * PowerShell tools that reads the five-point deterministic pre-merge floor off
+ * GitHub before `gh pr merge` runs.
+ *
+ * ZERO LLM calls, zero filesystem writes. The only outside state is what `gh`
+ * answers, and `gh` reaches this module through the injected {@link GhRunner}
+ * seam so a test replaces the network with a checked-in capture (R3, R4).
+ *
+ * The five predicates, evaluated IN ORDER (the first failure is the reason):
+ *   1. `checks`                — the head commit's status-check rollup is green
+ *   2. `unresolved-bot-threads`— no unresolved, non-outdated review thread whose
+ *                                ROOT comment is one of the known review bots
+ *   3. `changes-requested`     — no un-superseded CHANGES_REQUESTED review
+ *   4. `high-severity-inline`  — no HIGH/Major bot inline that CURRENTLY applies
+ *                                to the head commit (`comment.commit.oid`,
+ *                                thread resolution ignored)
+ *   5. `merge-state`           — GitHub's own `mergeStateStatus` is mergeable
+ *
+ * THE TIER SPLIT (R1): a predicate that FAILS is `deny` at every tier (the
+ * wrapper's tier map decides whether that blocks). A predicate whose INPUT
+ * could not be derived — gh missing, an API error, an incomplete page, a head
+ * that moved mid-read, `mergeStateStatus: UNKNOWN` — is the UNEVALUABLE class:
+ * `deny` under strict, `warn` under pilot, and NEVER `allow`. Every unevaluable
+ * path is named on stderr under BOTH tiers; only the exit code differs.
+ *
+ * THE OVERRIDE: `TOTEM_MERGE_GATE_OVERRIDE=1` yields `allow` plus one stderr
+ * audit line naming the repo, the PR, the head sha and the predicates that
+ * would have denied. It is read per evaluation (no module-level state).

+// ─── Severity read (predicate 4) ────────────────────────────────────────────
+/**
+ * The severity read is EXACT-BY-MARKER: it matches each bot's own STRUCTURED
+ * severity label and nothing else. Prose is never read
+ * (mmnto-ai/totem#2800 fold round 2, F4; round 3 F4/F5/F7/F11).
+ *
+ * Which forms are OBSERVED and which are DOCUMENTED-BUT-UNOBSERVED is stated
+ * per arm, because the two are not the same evidence:
+ *   - **greptile** — a badge image whose alt text is the priority:
+ *     `<a href="#"><img alt="P1" src="…/badges/p1.svg…" align="top"></a>`.
+ *     OBSERVED in the corpus: `P1` (high) and `P2` (not high). `P0` is
+ *     DOCUMENTED-BUT-UNOBSERVED — greptile publishes the `p0.svg` badge, so the
+ *     arm accepts it; no thread in the window carries one. Single quotes are
+ *     accepted beside double (`alt='P1'`) — HTML permits either and the read
+ *     must not turn on the quote style.
+ *   - **gemini-code-assist** — a priority image whose alt text is the level:
+ *     `![high](https://www.gstatic.com/codereviewagent/high-priority.svg)`.
+ *     OBSERVED: `high`. There is NO `critical` arm: the corresponding asset
+ *     404s and GCA's published rubric emits `high` as its top level, so an arm
+ *     for it would be inference, not transcription (round 3, F5).
+ *   - **CodeRabbit** — an emphasis-wrapped label that OPENS a table cell or a
+ *     line. CodeRabbit's severity scale is Critical / Major / Minor / Trivial;
+ *     `Potential issue` is its issue-CLASS label, carried here because the
+ *     user-level prototype matched it and it marks a blocking finding.
+ *     OBSERVED: `_🟠 Major_` (high), `_🟡 Minor_` and `_🔵 Trivial_` (not
+ *     high). DOCUMENTED-BUT-UNOBSERVED: `_🔴 Critical_` and
+ *     `_⚠️ Potential issue_` — in CodeRabbit's own label vocabulary, absent
+ *     from this window. The label must FILL its cell: the emphasis plus the
+ *     cell/line boundary are what separate a LABEL from a word in a sentence.
+ *
+ * CODE IS NOT A LABEL (round 3, F4). Fenced blocks (``` … ```, ~~~ … ~~~) and
+ * inline code spans are stripped before the scan. A bot that QUOTES a marker —
+ * a CodeRabbit Minor whose suggestion block quotes this very file, which
+ * carries every marker in its docstring — would otherwise read as HIGH and
+ * false-deny the gate's own maintenance PR.
+ *
+ * FALSE-POSITIVE BUDGET (ADR-109: a non-exact-match gate ships a stated budget
+ * and the fixture that measures it — the `transport-shield` precedent):
+ * **ZERO** high-severity reads over the benign corpus in
+ * `gate-fixtures/merge-ready/benign-corpus-bot-inlines.json` — every bot inline
+ * thread on mmnto-ai/totem#2820 through mmnto-ai/totem#2839, each carrying the
+ * severity its own bot declared — and over the quoted-marker row in
+ * `gate-fixtures/merge-ready/synthetic-benign-fenced-marker-quote.json`.
+ * `merge-ready.test.ts` asserts the read agrees with every one of those
+ * declarations, so a marker that widens into prose or into quoted code fails
+ * there. The prose arms this replaced did not hold that budget: the greptile
+ * **P2** thread on mmnto-ai/totem#2831 read as HIGH through the word "critical"
+ * in its explanation — a false deny on a finding its own author ranked below
+ * the bar. A miss in the field is a corpus row plus a marker fix, never a
+ * hand-carved exemption; the `--pilot` tier exists for a measurement week, and
+ * `TOTEM_MERGE_GATE_OVERRIDE=1` is the audited way past one.
+ *
+ * Out of scope by design, disclosed: a bot that stops emitting a structured
+ * label (or a fourth bot) reads as NOT high — the miss direction, a corpus gap
+ * to be closed by observation, never a silent deny; a label a bot places
+ * somewhere this read does not look (a summary table, a list item, a
+ * blockquote) is the same class; a human quoting a bot's label verbatim would
+ * read as high, but predicates 2 and 4 both require the thread's ROOT comment
+ * to be a known bot login.
+ *
+ * THE STRIPPER'S EDGES, measured rather than assumed (round 5, F1/F4/F5/F6).
+ * It recognises fenced blocks of any backtick or tilde run, `<pre>` blocks,
+ * CommonMark indented blocks, and inline spans of any backtick run. At the
+ * edges:
+ *   - a fence indented under a list item IS stripped, at two spaces or four —
+ *     the opener and closer both allow leading blanks;
+ *   - a four-backtick fence closed by three has its CONTENTS stripped (the
+ *     opener matches three of the four backticks and the fourth reads as the
+ *     info string), so only the text AFTER the short closer reaches the scan —
+ *     a marker there reads HIGH, the false-deny direction;
+ *   - an HTML `<code>` element is NOT stripped at all. A label inside one reads
+ *     HIGH wherever it carries its own anchor — a `|` cell delimiter, or a line
+ *     start inside a multi-line element — and reads not-high only when it has
+ *     neither. False-deny direction.
+ * Three edges run the other way, toward ALLOW, by swallowing prose that is not
+ * code: a backtick run whose match crosses a paragraph break takes a label
+ * sitting between two lone backticks with it; an indented line that follows a
+ * prose line is stripped though CommonMark would not open a code block there;
+ * and `<pre>` tags quoted inside code spans still act as block delimiters,
+ * because the `<pre>` arm runs before the span arm. Measured reach: NONE of
+ * the 34 bodies in the checked-in fixtures is affected — every one of them,
+ * corpus included, gets the same verdict from its first line alone, and all
+ * 16 corpus labels sit on line 0, where no stripper edge can reach them. Each
+ * edge is a corpus row plus a stripper fix when one is observed in the field;
+ * `TOTEM_MERGE_GATE_OVERRIDE=1` is the audited way past a false deny in the
+ * meantime.
