621 binaries are tracked here and they are supposed to be: 155 PDFs, 275
PNGs, 68 JPGs, the submitted reports and figures. Decision 3 keeps them and
skips the history rewrite, so a blanket block would be wrong. What the gate
is for is stopping NEW junk.
So the allowlist is scoped by path rather than by extension alone. Documents,
figures and datasets are allowed under Programming/ and NotProgramming/;
compiled output (.o .so .a .exe .dll .dylib .class .pyc) is allowed nowhere
and has no entry at all; and the repo root, gates/, scripts/ and .github/
have no entry either, so a binary dropped in the tooling directories is
blocked. The .tgz entries are load-bearing -- EOPSY ships its simulators as
ftp/{sched,memory}.tgz and `make setup` extracts them.
Verified three ways, because a gate that passes everything is vacuous:
- all 2749 tracked files -> exit 0
- probe.exe at root, probe.png in gates/ -> BLOCKED, exit 1
- a real submitted PDF -> exit 0
plus shellcheck clean.
The script is a copy of testsAndMisc's, which is where this gate lives today
-- it is not in the shared ~/utils set. The header says so and says to move
it to ~/utils rather than let the two drift, since a hand-copied gate is what
produced four forks of the 250-line cap.
