The guard prints `CI_GREEN_SKIP=1 git commit ...` and stops there, but it runs
at two stages: at commit, and again inside the pre-push CI mirror's
clean-worktree `pre-commit` run, which sees the same still-red baseline. So the
documented escape gets you past the commit and into an identical wall at push,
with no hint and nothing in the output connecting the two.
Hit today landing the pre-commit cache-key fix: the commit went through, the
push did not. The variable is read from the environment and `ci_mirror.sh` does
not scrub it, so `CI_GREEN_SKIP=1 git push` carries through to the nested run --
which is now what the message says.
Verified both paths: with the variable set the script warns and exits 0, and
against today's green main it exits 0 silently. shellcheck clean.

Two pre-commit hooks and one pre-push extension, plus the _glyph_art split
that had to land first — the cap gate cannot be wired while any file is over
it, and the lyricanki note-ascender glyph had taken _glyph_art.py to 253.
file-length-cap runs check_file_length.sh --all repo-wide rather than on
staged files, so a file that grows past the cap in some other commit is still
caught. Proven to block, not assumed: with a deliberate 261-line file staged
the hook exits 1 and names it; with the file removed it passes.
ci-baseline-green is the user's option (a): refuse to build on a main that is
already red. It fails closed on a definitively failing baseline and warns-and-
passes on anything it cannot determine — offline, no gh, unauthenticated, no
settled runs — each call capped at 5s. Blocking every commit on network
reachability buys nothing when (b) is the real per-change guarantee.
CI_GREEN_SKIP=1 is the escape for a fix-forward commit. python-tests.yml is
excluded on purpose: it is path-filtered, so a shell-only commit never
triggers it and its "latest run" would produce false reds.
This hook already earned its place. Run against a red main earlier in this
session it refused with "Shell tests (failure)", which is how the broken
SETUP_SOURCES was found instead of being pushed over.
ci_mirror gains the shell-tests workflow's side-effect-free half — every
lib/tests/run_all.sh plus the workflow's own test list, the user's option (b).
That list is parsed out of shell-tests.yml rather than copied: a hardcoded
duplicate drifts the moment someone adds a test, and a mirror that quietly
checks less than CI is worse than no mirror because it reports safe. The
Arch-container half stays unmirrored — it wants root and an Arch userland.
