Two things that were fine in utils and would not have been in the next forty
repos.
**The allowlist is now fleet-wide plus per-repo.** `typescript-eslint` blocks
TS 7 in EVERY repo that pins typescript -- eight of them and counting -- and a
repo-only allowlist meant hand-copying one entry into eight files that then rot
independently. That is the four-way fork of the 250-line cap, reproduced inside
the mechanism built to avoid it. `~/utils/dependency-freshness.allowlist.yaml`
is inherited by every repo; a repo entry for the same `ecosystem:package`
overrides it.
Inherited entries are exempt from the no-longer-needed check everywhere except
the repo that owns the file. Without that carve-out a fleet-wide hold on
typescript exits 2 in every Flutter app -- it excuses nothing there, which is
the normal case, not rot -- and those repos become uncommittable. Confirmed
against punchme, which now exits 0 while utils still reports the entry as in
use.
**`quarantine.py` bypassed the cache entirely.** It ran for every npm finding
and fetched the FULL packument -- 7MB for react, 16MB for typescript -- with no
TTL and no reuse, inside a pre-commit hook. One finding in utils, but the JS
repos ahead have 16 to 37 each. Now cached under the normal 6h TTL, keyed
`<name>@<dist-tag>`: the tag has to be part of the key rather than clamped
afterwards, because clamping returns the ceiling and the ceiling is frequently
the very release the quarantine is excluding.
**Both cache and shared allowlist are now redirected by AUTOUSE fixtures.** A
quarantine test had already seeded a fake answer for package "x" into the real
~/.cache/dep-freshness/registry.json, and the next run read its own pollution
back and passed for the wrong reason. Removed the entry; the fixture makes it
unrepeatable.
292 tests, 100% branch coverage on every module.

"Are we on the newest version?" was not mechanically answerable across these
repos: constraint styles had drifted per-ecosystem and a caret range is
"newest-compatible" by definition, which gives a checker nothing to compare.
This gate makes it answerable and then enforces the answer.
Checks two things at once -- that every dependency carries an exact pin, and
that the pin equals its registry's latest STABLE release -- across pub.dev,
PyPI, npm, crates.io, the Go proxy, kuhyx/utils git tags, and the Flutter /
Node / Python toolchains.
Three deliberate design points:
* Pre-releases are rejected per-ecosystem, because every ecosystem leaks them
differently and each leak fails GREEN. npm lets a maintainer point
`dist-tags.latest` at an rc; crates.io's `max_version` includes them; PyPI's
legacy `info.version` includes yanked releases. Unit-tested with fixtures,
since an end-to-end run cannot surface a wrong "up to date".
* Offline, the gate serves an expired cache entry and PASSES with a DEGRADED
banner (exit 3 only under --strict, which is CI). `--no-verify` is banned
here, so a hook that hard-failed offline would leave no way to commit at all.
* The allowlist has two entry classes. `blocked_by: transitive:<pkg>@<ver>` is
a predicate that clears itself when upstream moves and must NOT carry a
date; everything else is discretionary and requires `expires`, capped at 90
days. Exact pins plus latest-everywhere is provably unsatisfiable when a
dependency internally constrains a shared transitive, and expiring the
predicate class on a calendar would turn the gate red for a reason no commit
could fix. An entry with nothing left to excuse is itself an error.
One hook id, one shim, one shared implementation -- always delegating, so it
cannot fork the way the 250-line cap forked into four ids, two of which were
independent reimplementations.
256 tests, 100% branch coverage on every module of the gate. Also adds the
workflow that runs them, which incidentally gives md_naming's 71 tests their
first CI run.
Not yet installed in any repo: a repo that gets the gate before its deps are
bumped is instantly and permanently red, so the gate and the upgrade land
together, per repo.
