Half of today's pushes were documentation, and each cost a full ~7-minute
clean build, 14k tests, and a 121 MB release for changes no test can fail on.
Pushes touching only docs/, the memory trees, or markdown no longer trigger
the gate; any code path still runs the full uncached pipeline, and manual
dispatch is always available.
Deliberately NOT build caching instead: the gate's value is proving a
from-nothing build (what a friend's machine does), and stale bin/obj serving
deleted code is a documented past failure class in this repo.
