ci: run the enforcement gate corpus as its own check, so the red direction is visible - #121
Conversation
The gates that reject an unbacked claim are exercised only in their passing direction by the pipeline. `ci.yml` has ten jobs and none of them asserts that a seeded violation is rejected, so a green run is evidence that the checks ran, not that they can fail. The project's own finding applies to its CI as much as to the commands: a gate that never fails is worthless, and nothing here demonstrates otherwise. The assertions already exist. `tests/test_enforcement_empty_codebase.py` and `tests/test_enforcement_empty_scan.py` drive the real CLI and assert exit codes in both directions -- a registered codebase holding one unmarked source file exits 2 with `code-no-marker`, a correctly marked implementation exits 0, and a repository that claims nothing stays green with no code at all. What they lack is visibility: they run inside a suite of ~4,850 tests, so the red direction is provable only by knowing the tests exist and reading them. `make test-gates` runs those two files alone, and a `gates` job surfaces the result as a named check. No new tests and no behaviour change -- this makes an existing guarantee legible in the place people look for it. Verified the job is load-bearing rather than decorative: restoring the pre-existing early return in cross-validation (`if not results.parsed_code_files_full:`) fails 5 of the 39, so the check catches the regression it exists to catch. Green on `main` as it stands. Deliberately scoped to the enforcement corpus. The semantic-coverage tests are advisory and have an open interpreter-dependent failure of their own, so folding them in would make this check red for a reason unrelated to enforcement.

The gates job runs pull-request code (`make install`, `make test-gates`). `actions/checkout@v4` defaults `persist-credentials` to true, which writes the job token into `.git/config` where that code could read it back. Set `persist-credentials: false` and pin the job to `contents: read`, matching the least-privilege job-level `permissions` block already used in code-ranker.yml. Scoped to the job this PR adds. The nine pre-existing checkout steps share the same default and are left for a separate decision. Signed-off-by: ou <ou@constructor.tech>

What. A
gatesCI job and amake test-gatestarget that run the two enforcement test files on their own. No new tests, no behaviour change, no new dependencies.Why. The pipeline currently exercises these gates only in their passing direction.
ci.ymlhas ten jobs —test,coverage,sonarqube,pylint,vulture,versions,spec-coverage,validate,validate-kits— and none of them asserts that a seeded violation is rejected. So a green run says the checks ran, not that they can fail.That is this repository's own argument turned on its CI. #89 existed because a green exit did not mean the spec was implemented; the same reasoning applies to a green pipeline that never demonstrates a gate failing.
The assertions already exist — this is about visibility, not coverage.
tests/test_enforcement_empty_codebase.pyandtests/test_enforcement_empty_scan.pydrive the real CLI and assert exit codes in both directions:code-no-markerThose run inside a suite of ~4,850 tests, so today the red direction is provable only by knowing the tests exist and going to read them. After this, the pipeline shows it as "Enforcement Gates (seeded violations must fail)".
Verified load-bearing rather than decorative. Restoring the early return that cross-validation used to have —
if not results.parsed_code_files_full:— makes 5 of the 39 fail. So the check catches the regression it exists to catch. Green onmainas it stands.Scope. Deliberately limited to the enforcement corpus. The semantic-coverage tests are advisory and currently have an interpreter-dependent failure of their own (#120), so including them would make this check red for a reason unrelated to enforcement — which would defeat the point of a named gate check.
Non-goals. Not making any check required — that is branch protection and not something a commit can do. Not adding a CLI-level negative fixture repo; the existing tests already drive the real CLI end-to-end, and a second mechanism would duplicate them.
Gates. The corpus itself: 39 passed. Repository unaffected, as expected for a Makefile/workflow-only change —
