+//
+//   node qa/framework-check.mjs [--bound-ms 10000] [--budget-ms 5000] [--json]
+//
+// Before you point real work at this harness, prove the FRAMEWORK returns: a
+// deterministic PASS and a deterministic FAIL, fast, through the real lane
+// machinery (runner, receipt, Stop hook), with a bound short enough that a hang
+// is obvious rather than patient. No Gradle, no device, no network — `--profile
+// smoke` is every pure-Node gate and nothing else.
+//
+// WHEN TO RUN IT. Whenever you are about to add a gate, and whenever the lane
+// starts behaving oddly. It is also the answer to a question that costs hours
+// when it is answered by hand: *how do I prove this new gate actually catches
+// what it claims?* Add a plant here and run this — seconds — instead of
+// planting a defect, running the full build, reading the red, reverting, and
+// building again. That hand cycle is 30–60 s on a real project, it is paid on
+// every plant forever, and while it happens it is indistinguishable from
+// progress. GATE-RULES Rule 1 calls a calibration "four steps, seconds each";
+// this is the instrument that makes that true, and it reports its own cost so
+// you can see when it stops being true.
+//
+// WHAT IT ASSERTS. The smoke lane returns PASS on this tree; each planted
+// violation makes the lane FAIL and the responsible gate name what it caught;
+// the Stop hook refuses a FAIL receipt and refuses a forged one; and after every
+// plant is reverted the lane returns PASS again — so the plants were the only
+// cause. A direction that does not return inside the bound is KILLED and
+// reported as a hang. The bound is the assertion, not a courtesy timeout.
+//
+// SAFETY. This edits your real tree and puts it back. Every file it may touch is
+// read into memory first and restored in a `finally`, and on SIGINT/SIGTERM
+// too. It refuses to start if any of those files already has uncommitted
+// changes, because a crash mid-plant must never be able to lose your work.
+//
+// Which plants are possible is DERIVED from the tree (qa/lib/framework-check.mjs).
+// A project with no specs, no flows, or no test sources still gets the region
+// plants; each unavailable plant is reported WITH ITS REASON. Nothing here ever
+// prints PASS because it found nothing to do.
