S71 ran main through parallel_gate, got "11 banked", committed it, and the R22
clean-fleet verify came back 212/213. main did not compile from clean; once the two
declaration conflicts were reconciled it built and was STILL not byte-identical. All 11
were then re-gated one at a time against a clean build — 11 of 11 REJECT.
The rule was already written down in ox_campaign.gate_main_batch: "main is gated by ONE
CLEAN REBUILD of the whole EXE, never incrementally … main's extract rewrites the linker
script, so an incremental main gate returns a FALSE DIFF." parallel_gate's worker IS
gate_stage, so it inherits that — and S58 recorded the false-DIFF direction while this is
the false-PASS one, which is worse: a false diff wastes drafts, a false pass commits wrong
bytes and reads green until the next clean fleet check (R53's signature — a failed build
leaves the previous object on disk and the SHA check downstream reads it).
Now a refusal naming tools/gate_main.py, not a docstring in the callee (R43).
Cookbook §414, including the two instrument errors made while recovering.
