-   refreshes the plan rows and the Built state with `roadmap update-plan-progress`;
-   advances STATE, records the wave's `tracking.requirements` (`requirements.mark-complete`) and the `key-decisions` of its SUMMARY.md files (`state.add-decision`);
-   makes the wave's ONE tracking commit (`tracking_commits: 1`).
+   When **any** executor agent in this wave ran with `isolation="worktree"`, that agent skipped STATE.md and ROADMAP.md updates to avoid last-merge-wins overwrites. The orchestrator is the single writer for these files.

 5.75. **Execute:wave:post capability dispatch:**
 
    After worktree merge, post-merge tests, and tracking updates, dispatch capability hooks registered at `execute:wave:post`. The primary hook is the `ui.safety-gate` gate from the UI capability — it verifies that any frontend files changed in this wave conform to the UI-SPEC contract.
 
    ```bash
-   WAVE_POST_HOOKS_JSON=$(pp_run loop render-hooks execute:wave:post --raw) || exit 1
+   WAVE_POST_HOOKS_JSON=$(pp_run loop render-hooks execute:wave:post --raw)
+   printf '%s' "$WAVE_POST_HOOKS_JSON" | node -e "let h=[];try{h=JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf-8')).activeHooks||[]}catch{}console.log('WAVE_POST_HOOKS_JSON='+JSON.stringify({activeHooks:h}))"
    ```
 
-   Read the `activeHooks` array from `WAVE_POST_HOOKS_JSON` in-context (do NOT pipe through a shell parser).
+   Read the `activeHooks` array from the printed `WAVE_POST_HOOKS_JSON=` line, in-context (do NOT pipe through a shell parser).
 
    **If `activeHooks` is empty or absent:** Skip silently to step 5.8.
 
-   **For each active entry where `kind == "gate"`** (process in array order), run the gate check:
-
-   ```bash
-   GATE_RESULT=$(pp_run check ${hook.check.query} "${PHASE_NUMBER}" --raw)
-   CHECK_EXIT=$?
-   ```
-
-   **Step 1 — did the CHECK COMMAND itself succeed?**
-
-   If the check command failed (non-zero `CHECK_EXIT`, empty output, or unparseable JSON):
-   - `onError == "halt"` → treat as a fatal error: stop wave completion, do NOT proceed to step 5.8, and surface: `⚠ Gate check command failed ({hook.capId}): command error. Resolve before continuing.`
-   - `onError == "skip"` → log a warning and continue to the next hook. Do NOT read `GATE_RESULT.block`.
-
-   **Step 2 — read `GATE_RESULT.block` (boolean).** This step is only reached when the command succeeded.
-
-   - **Blocking gate (`hook.blocking == true`) AND `GATE_RESULT.block == true`:** HALT — stop wave completion, do NOT proceed to step 5.8, and present:
-
-     ```
-     ⚠ Wave {N} blocked by capability gate ({hook.capId}): {GATE_RESULT.message}
-     Resolve before continuing to next wave.
-     ```
-
-     This halt is **not** bypassed by `onError` — `onError` only covers command errors (step 1 above), not the gate's block decision.
-
-   - **Non-blocking gate (`hook.blocking == false`):** never halts. If `GATE_RESULT.block` is `true` (or non-empty `message`), print `⚠ {hook.capId} advisory (wave {N}): {GATE_RESULT.message}`, then:
-     - If `GATE_RESULT.spawn_mapper == true` OR `GATE_RESULT.directive == "auto-remap"`: spawn `pp-codebase-mapper` per `execute-phase/steps/codebase-drift-gate.md`; pass `--paths {GATE_RESULT.affected_paths}`. Continue regardless (wave NOT failed by remap failure).
-     - Otherwise: continue after advisory.
-     - If block `false` and no `message`: continue silently.
-
-   - **Blocking gate (`hook.blocking == true`) AND `GATE_RESULT.block == false`:** continue silently.
+   **Otherwise**, set `GATE_POINT=execute:wave:post`, `GATE_HOOKS_JSON=$WAVE_POST_HOOKS_JSON`,
+   `GATE_POSITIONAL_ARG="${PHASE_NUMBER}"` — preserving the positional phase-number argument this
+   call site has always passed — and `GATE_WS` to the active workstream name (empty in flat mode),
+   without which a phase-number positional cannot resolve on a partitioned project, then Read and follow
+   `pp-core/workflows/execute-phase/steps/check-query-gate.md`. That file is the single generic
+   `check.query` gate enforcer (GATE-02, D-VH-7): it owns the two-step contract (did the command
+   succeed? → then read the boolean `block`) and the halt. Do not restate its loop here.
+
+   **After the enforcer returns without halting**, perform this call site's own advisory follow-up
+   for each non-blocking entry it reported: if the verdict carried `spawn_mapper == true` OR
+   `directive == "auto-remap"`, spawn `pp-codebase-mapper` per
+   `execute-phase/steps/codebase-drift-gate.md`, passing `--paths {affected_paths}`. Continue
+   regardless — a remap failure never fails the wave. The enforcer owns the halt decision; this
+   directive handling is the host's, not the enforcer's.
 
    **When all active gates are processed without a blocking halt:** continue to step 5.8.
