+   the queue branch **and** `origin/main`. And **the queue enforces only the required
+   set** — six contexts block by maintainer decision (2026-08-07, extended 2026-08-09):
+   `Lint & Repo Gates` (all `check:*` gates), `TypeScript Type Check`, `Test Core`,
+   `Dogfood Regression Gate`, `Build Core` and `Temporal Conformance (live PG + MySQL)`.
+   A check outside those six is advisory and rides through, and an advisory red that

    **Re-arm awareness** — none of these is a reason to avoid the queue; all are reasons
    to confirm a PR is still *in* it: a red queue build **ejects** your entry and drops
