gate_excluded_targets in .claude/agents-council/config.json of the passwd home (never $HOME or the environment, so no caller swaps in its own list) names targets no gate requires or runs. status shows them excluded and keeps the gate green without them, naming the exclusion and the config in the green line; excluding every target keeps the gate open and skips the hotfix check. run refuses an excluded target with exit 2. Operator order 2026-11-11: no oracle tests in any gate.

The Maintainer messaged every agent about every hotfix, waking each for a full turn. Hotfixes are now register rows hotfix/<slug> (repository identity by git common dir and normalized origin URL, branch, sha, PR, failing-line signature, targets, stage), written with hotfix.py add/update and queried only when an agent acts, never by cron: pending lists merged hotfixes missing from HEAD (filtered by targets) and open ones; match finds hotfixes whose signature fits a failing line, evaluated in one worker under a shared deadline; void tells gate.py run, before every target, when a merged hotfix missing from HEAD makes the rest of the run worthless (exit 3), the operator's one exception to never cutting a job short; sync fetches first, then under the worktree locks merges origin/<default> and every base up the funnel chain recorded with rasci.py set --base, refusing a detached or foreign branch, a diverged base or a busy worktree, aborting cleanly on a conflict.
gate.py gains hold, which runs any heavy command, deploys included, under the worktree lock, forwards signals, returns the command's code and exits 75 when busy; run holds the same lock and takes the sync lock shared. kvb-check-gate, kvb-ci-triage, kvb-org-organize (Peer protocol, capacity), kvb-org-coordinate and kvb-org-split follow; rasci gaps, wsjf and artifacts skip hotfix and operator rows. Three independent skeptic rounds found 34 defects (three of them high), all fixed with tests; negative controls fail against the earlier code.

The operator's rule (2026-11-03): nothing is declared 90/5 before every make test* target of the project ran green on the exact head. kvb-check-gate holds it as the single source and gate.py backs it: list parses the Makefile make would read and its includes statically (never running make, whose $(shell ...) would execute), status reports green, red or missing per target for HEAD and says gate: green only when all are green on a clean tracked tree, and run executes known targets one by one as make -C with output written straight to a log (no pipe hiding the exit code), marking a target red on a non-zero exit, a make: *** or make[N]: *** line, or a project --fail-regex such as infinito-nexus' FAILED TARGETS. Results live per sha in the git common dir under a lock, shared by linked worktrees; a new commit or a target that edits tracked files invalidates them.
kvb-check-confidence and kvb-git-pr-label point to gate.py status instead of restating the rule; the README places the skill. test_gate covers parsing with includes, green, red and fail-pattern runs, stale results after a commit, dirty trees, worktrees and usage errors.
