+### `cdd-kit gate <change-id>`
+
+Validates that a change has completed the full orchestration workflow before it can be committed or shipped. Checks: directory exists, all 5 required artifacts are present, each has > 100 meaningful characters (not a stub), `change-classification.md` contains a tier or risk marker, and all contract validators pass.

+## What to expect after `cdd-kit init`
+
+The first `cdd-kit validate` after `init` is expected to print contract placeholder warnings — six contract files are scaffolded but empty. Validation still exits 0; warnings are advisory.
+
+```text
+Warning: contracts present but appear empty: contracts/api/api-contract.md, ...
+Fill them in before relying on the gate.
+```
+
+To turn warnings off, fill each contract with real content (typical user-filled contracts run 500+ characters of meaningful text, well above the placeholder threshold). Recommended filling order:
+
+1. `contracts/env/env-contract.md` — list every env var your app reads, with `secret`, `default`, `validation` columns.
+2. `contracts/api/api-contract.md` — inventory every endpoint with method, path, request/response shape, and error format.
+3. `contracts/data/data-shape-contract.md` — required columns, types, nullability, and malformed-data behavior for each data surface.
+4. `contracts/css/css-contract.md` — design tokens, component states, and forbidden raw values.
+5. `contracts/business/business-rules.md` — current rules, decision tables, edge cases.
+6. `contracts/ci/ci-gate-contract.md` — gate tiers, promotion policy, rollback policy.
+
+`cdd-kit validate --contracts` re-runs only the contract check; use it incrementally as you fill each file.

+## Contract versioning
+
+Contracts use semver via frontmatter; bump schema-version + add CHANGELOG entry on every contract change. Each contract file contains a YAML frontmatter block with `contract`, `schema-version`, `last-changed`, and `breaking-change-policy`. All changes at 1.0+ must be recorded in `contracts/CHANGELOG.md` using the format `## [<type> <version>] — <date>`. Major version bumps additionally require a `### Removed` or `### Changed (breaking)` section. The `validate_contract_versions.py` script enforces these rules automatically in CI and via `cdd-kit validate --versions`.

 ## Contract rules
 
 ### API

 - CSS contract check
 - accessibility check for focus, keyboard, labels, and contrast
 
+## Orchestration enforcement
+
+Every change in `specs/changes/<change-id>/` must pass `cdd-kit gate <change-id>` before the implementation is committed. The gate enforces:
+
+1. All 5 required artifacts exist (`change-request.md`, `change-classification.md`, `test-plan.md`, `ci-gates.md`, `tasks.md`)
+2. Each artifact has more than 100 meaningful characters (not a stub template)
+3. `change-classification.md` contains a tier marker (`Tier 0`–`Tier 5`) or a risk label (`low`, `medium`, `high`, `critical`)
+4. Agent-log files in `specs/changes/<change-id>/agent-log/` are valid (if present)
+5. All contract validators pass (`cdd-kit validate`)
+
+## Agent-log rules
+
+Each agent writes a machine-verifiable log to `specs/changes/<change-id>/agent-log/<agent-name>.md` after completing its task. The gate validates these logs automatically.
+
+Required log structure:
+
+```
+# <Agent Display Name> Log
+- change-id: <id>
+- timestamp: <ISO 8601>
+- status: complete | needs-review | blocked
+- artifacts:
+  - <evidence-type>: <concrete pointer>
+- next-action: <one line, or "none">
+```
+
+Rules enforced by `cdd-kit gate`:
+- The `status:` line must be present and set to `complete`, `needs-review`, or `blocked`.
+- When `status: blocked`, the `next-action:` line must be a concrete action of at least 10 characters (not "none").
+- Missing or invalid logs cause the gate to fail with a descriptive error.
+- A missing `agent-log/` directory is acceptable (gate passes when no agents have logged yet).
+
+Run `cdd-kit install-hooks` once in each repository to install a pre-commit hook that enforces the gate automatically on every commit touching `specs/changes/`. This prevents the workflow from being silently skipped.
+
+```bash
+cdd-kit gate add-user-auth      # manual check
+cdd-kit install-hooks           # install automatic pre-commit enforcement

+## Common pitfalls
+
+- N+1 queries — fetch related rows in a single query or with explicit batching, not in a loop.
+- Connection / transaction leaks — every acquired connection or transaction must be released on every code path including errors.
+- Idempotency — write endpoints that may retry (payments, webhooks, queue handlers) need idempotency keys.
+- Timeout vs retry interaction — outer retry on top of long inner timeout multiplies wall time; bound both.
+- Context propagation — pass request-scoped context (auth, locale, trace id, deadline) through service layers; do not read globals.
+- Read-after-write consistency — a write followed by an immediate read on a replica may return stale data.
+- Pagination — always sort by a stable column + tie-breaker (id), never offset-paginate over mutable data.

+You are the dependency and migration safety reviewer.
+
+Your job is to catch risks that code review misses: transitive CVE exposure, license incompatibility, lockfile tampering, and irreversible or locking schema changes. Contract-level tracking of these changes is owned by `contract-reviewer`; this agent performs the active audit.
+
+## Dependency review
+
+For any change that adds, removes, or upgrades a package:
+
+- Check the diff in `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, `pyproject.toml`, `requirements*.txt`, `go.mod`, or equivalent.
+- Identify new transitive dependencies introduced by the change.
+- Flag packages with known CVEs (use `npm audit`, `pip-audit`, `govulncheck`, or equivalent when available).
+- Flag license changes: copyleft licenses (GPL, AGPL) in a proprietary codebase require explicit approval.
+- Flag excessive lockfile churn that may indicate a compromised or unstable dependency tree.
+- Flag packages with very low download counts, no maintenance activity, or unusual install scripts.
+
+## Migration review
+
+For any change that adds or modifies a database migration:
+
+- Verify the migration can run without a full-table exclusive lock on large tables (prefer `ADD COLUMN ... DEFAULT NULL`, online DDL, or batched backfills).
+- Verify a rollback path exists: either a `down` migration or an explicit documented rollback procedure.
+- Verify backfill operations are safe under concurrent writes (idempotent, does not corrupt existing rows).
+- Flag irreversible operations (column drops, type coercions, constraint additions on large tables) as high-risk.
+- Confirm staging or shadow migration has been run when the risk tier is medium or higher.
+
+## Supply chain risks
+
+- SBOM — produce or update a Software Bill of Materials on dependency changes (CycloneDX or SPDX); required for compliance-track repos.
+- Typosquat — reject names that differ by one char from a popular package (`reaqt`, `loadsh`, `requets`).
+- Dependency confusion — internal package names must not be claimable on the public registry; pin the registry in `.npmrc` / `.pip.conf`.
+- Post-install scripts — flag any new dependency that runs `postinstall`, `preinstall`, or arbitrary build hooks; require justification.
+- Maintenance signal — last commit > 24 months, single maintainer, no test suite — escalate even when no CVE is known.
+- License families — permissive (MIT, BSD, Apache-2): generally OK; weak copyleft (LGPL, MPL): OK with isolation; strong copyleft (GPL, AGPL): proprietary code conflict — block unless legal-approved.

+## Tooling and conventions

+- Playwright vs Cypress — Playwright for multi-browser + parallel + trace viewer; Cypress for single-browser teams already invested. Do not mix in one repo.
+- Trace and video — keep trace on first retry, video on failure only; storage cost is real.
+- Network strategy — for critical-path E2E run against real backend on staging; for resilience injection (5xx, slow, abort) intercept at network layer.
+- Fixtures — prefer factory functions over fixture files; data resets between tests via API, not via fixture rollback.
+- Stable selectors — `data-testid`, role, accessible name; never CSS class selectors that change with redesigns.
+- Scope clarification — this agent owns failure injection, real user journeys, network/auth resilience. Rapid UI clicks, double submits, fuzz inputs belong to `monkey-test-engineer`.
