// lib/review/verdict-gate.mjs
// K7 — the review verdict gate (ordre 5, P11).
//
// One command decides on the verdict written in review.md, so whatever stops a
// merge or a release reads a file and an exit code, never a model's summary:
//
//   node lib/review/verdict-gate.mjs [--json] <review.md>
//     0 = ALLOW or WARN
//     1 = BLOCK
//     2 = could not decide: missing/unreadable file, not a review, no verdict,
//         an unknown verdict, a file that contradicts its own verdict, or a
//         WARN because a reviewer or engine did not run (`missing-reviewer:` /
//         `unattributable-payload` in allow_blocked_by — operator decision
//         2026-10-06: a review not performed in full stops a merge).
//         Exit 2 is NEVER green.
//
// Fail-closed reading: a missing `verdict` is exit 2, never ALLOW. A verdict
// that is GREENER than the file's own findings (ALLOW/WARN over a BLOCKER, or a
// frontmatter verdict the trailing JSON block disagrees with) is exit 2 as well
// — the file cannot be trusted for the direction that would let work through.
// BLOCK always exits 1: a stricter-than-supported verdict is still a stop.
//
// Borrowed: the verdict goes to a file and a command check gates on it
// (Kiro `feature-pipeline`, https://kiro.dev/docs/workflows/patterns); the
// executor may read the verdict but never write it (Spec Kit
// `templates/checklist-template.md:8-9`, MIT). The blocking itself is Voyage's
// own design — neither source blocks on its own.
