CLAUDE.md: the review paragraph (order 5) and the guards paragraph
(order 4) are both kept (planned union line).
The launch gate went red on the merged tree: post-approval-log reads
the session's permission_mode, and its regression test feeds that value.
Both were untracked when the branch ran its suite, so the gate never saw
them there. Operator decision 2026-10-06: a counted exemption in a new
class (mode-read: 3 + 1 hits), and the binding-rule sentence in CLAUDE.md
names it. An extra hit in either file turns the gate red again (checked).
