Found during #354 (ADR-0116). When a ticket's behavior already exists (verification/composition-test tickets), red_assert_command (! test suite) can never pass: honest tests are green immediately. #354 required manually neutralizing the gate. The map or target config needs a sanctioned path for green-from-birth tickets (e.g. a skippable red gate or a verification ticket class). Related: #366.

Resolution

Done: Sweep 2026-10-10 (ruled 2026-10-12): problem absent or no longer applies. #595 (2026-09-15) made Project hold Code/Test/Lint value objects and removed reserved_paths and red_assert_command (per docs/implementation-status/os-sdlc.md:183, ADR-0192). The named gate no longer exists, so the ticket's defect
