The gate is the deterministic precheck `model_registry.py --check-freshness` plus a check that the baked model is in the current MODEL_REGISTRY roster. Baseline agents (no tile) skip the gate entirely, so running the freshness precheck is the tile-specific lift here; the remaining criteria are defensive — they catch regressions where the tile inserts friction where none was warranted.",
