 /**
  * Assert that the npm tarball this tree would publish is actually a
  * gateway-capable build (SCR-352).
  *
- * The incident this exists to prevent: `screenpipe-mcp@0.18.15` was published
- * from a tree that predated `src/team-config.ts`. Its tarball contained no
- * `dist/team-config.js` at all, so the `team-*` tools registered off the token
- * alone and then failed with HTTP 401 against every customer query gateway —
- * and nothing in the release path looked at what it was shipping. A version
- * bump does not prove the artifact is right; the file list and the built
- * bytes do.
+ * The gate now covers two incidents. `screenpipe-mcp@0.18.15` omitted compiled
+ * modules entirely. `screenpipe-mcp@0.19.1` shipped a large runtime dependency
+ * tree that Bun/npx can corrupt when several agents cold-start concurrently;
+ * production then fails on a random missing AJV, Zod, SDK, locale, or local
+ * module. A later audit also found an MCP authentication fallback that opened
+ * the recorder's live SQLite database outside Screenpipe's locking boundary.
+ * The package must therefore ship self-contained entry bundles, no runtime
+ * dependency installation surface, and no direct recording-database access.
  *
  * Two independent classes of failure are checked, because they fail
  * differently:
- *   - REQUIRED_PATHS  — the file is absent from the tarball (what 0.18.15 did).
- *     Note how load-bearing that is here: `.gitignore` lists `dist/`, and the
- *     only reason the build output ships at all is that npm ≥ 8
- *     (npm-packlist ≥ 5) dropped the `.gitignore`-as-`.npmignore` fallback —
- *     measured on npm 10.8.2 / npm-packlist 8.0.2. Add an `.npmignore` with a
- *     `dist/*` rule and the tarball silently shrinks to the `main`/`bin`
- *     entries npm force-includes: `dist/team-config.js` and `dist/version.js`
- *     disappear — precisely the two files 0.18.15 was missing — with no error
- *     anywhere. This list is what turns that into a red build.
+ *   - REQUIRED_PATHS — all three public entry bundles must be present.
  *   - REQUIRED_MARKERS / FORBIDDEN_MARKERS — the file is present but was built
  *     from the wrong tree (stale `dist/`, or a revert of the gateway support).
  *     Grepping the built bytes is the only check that can tell those apart.
+ *   - runtimeDependencyFailures — package.json must not make bunx/npx install
+ *     the dependency graph that produced the observed shared-cache races.
  *
  * Usage (both `test-mcp.yml` and `release-mcp.yml` call this — the release job
  * runs it immediately before `npm publish`, since that is the only place where
