SD-187

SD-183 vindicated — gate is structurally blind to core product. Captain’s SD-183 position (“trust the gate” is not proven) confirmed by empirical evidence. Watchdog’s bias survey (SD-175) showed: bout-engine.ts (1,221 lines, core execution) has zero tests; DB layer 99% mocked; race condition documented but untested. Weaver’s own Governing Principle #6 (error dilution) breaks down: P(defect survives) = 1.0 at all three critical paths because no verification gate exists there. The gate is necessary but not sufficient — and at the core product level, it is absent entirely. Captain: “If the core product is completely unverified, we’re sitting ducks who give away our map position on the fucking front page of the news.” Forward action: test campaign ordered (SD-188).
