…for the veto hook (T11) Turns the repo into a plugin marketplace (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json) shipping one plugin, plugins/gatecat: a PreToolUse hook on Bash|Write|Edit calling the pip-installed gatecat-hook script (same block as examples/veto_integrations/claude_code_hook/settings.example.json). Layout and schemas follow the official plugins docs fetched this run — plugin.json in .claude-plugin/, hooks at plugin root in hooks/hooks.json. Install: /plugin marketplace add BGMLAI/gate.cat, then /plugin install gatecat@gatecat (after pip install gate.cat). Load verification stays with the owner post-merge (claude --plugin-dir).

scripts/daily_funnel.py reuses funnel_report.summarize() and emits one
METRICS.log-shaped JSON line per UTC day: {date, page_view, install_copy,
checkout_click, top_sources}. The sandbox holds no VPS key, so the
docstring documents the SSH pattern (from launch_metrics.py) to run it
where the events log lives. Committed fixture covers day filtering,
smoke_test exclusion and source attribution; 3 tests green. Measurement
only — it blocks nothing and claims nothing.

Panel 2026-07-23 (3 proposals on different models, 2 adversarial judges each, synthesis): self-serve Packs path is the only agent-executable route to a first payment — packs.html is a verified soft-404 today and every pack CTA cold-links straight to Stripe checkout. Queue: packs.html (U1), OWNER_RUNBOOK 20-min unblock (U2, judges' consensus that owner throughput is the real bottleneck), pack-hint v2 for 0.4.19 (U3), self-verify block at purchase points (U4), FACTS F13 re-pin gate (U5), Mike data pack (U6), partner welcome pack (U7), day-3/7 follow-up templates + ledger due dates (U8), design-partner wave 2 capped at 3 (U9).

The pack CTAs pointed straight at buy.stripe.com with no preview of what a pack contains, and gate.cat/packs.html soft-404'd to the landing page. coverage.html even linked to a /#packs anchor that does not exist. - docs/packs.html: 3 packs with scope verbatim from PRICING.md, anchors (#fintech/#paas/#http-api), ?source=packs buy links, 30-day refund, install steps, fail-closed note, honest 'what packs are NOT' block, affiliate ref capture + cookieless /events funnel tracking - cross-sells repointed to the preview page: fulfill thank-you xsell, teams.html (note + footer), coverage.html dead anchor - README: one scannable line under pricing; llms.txt mention; sitemap entry - new drift guard: test_packs_page_shows_scope_before_checkout Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz

…tep (U2) The revenue bottleneck is owner throughput: publish, deploy, posts and the affiliate batch all wait on manual steps scattered across files. One runbook, hard ordering (PyPI before docs/ deploy — llms.txt advertises 0.4.18), zero decisions. [USER] v2 in the loop state now points at the runbook instead of duplicating steps, and deploy_landing.sh verifies packs.html too.

…, for 0.4.19) - third pack tuple: HTTP-API Breadth, detected via stack-specific CLIs only (datadog-ci, sentry-cli) — deliberately no docker/gh/curl, which sit on every dev box and would destroy the precision of a once-per-machine hint; guard test asserts universal CLIs never trigger - all three hints now link gate.cat/packs.html?source=hint#<anchor> (full scope before checkout) instead of a bare Stripe payment link - ASCII-only test for the stderr hint (same rule as _nudge) - CHANGELOG: Unreleased/0.4.19 section; pyproject stays 0.4.18 on purpose — the prepped release is unpublished, so the runbook/checklist now pin the 0.4.18 build to master@8ce3592 BEFORE this PR merges (otherwise the wheel would silently pick up unreleased 0.4.19 code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz
Zero stars and zero testimonials is the objection at the exact point of purchase — answer it with reproducibility instead of social proof: the same 'Don't trust us — reproduce it' block (pip install gate-cat + bypass_suite, FACTS.md allowed wording for F1b and F4, caveats inline) on teams.html, packs.html and the README pricing section. - new drift guard: the headline numbers may not ship without their published caveats (named runtime-assembly gap, 1/129 benign false-block) - bonus: 6 remaining dead gate.cat/#packs anchors repointed to packs.html (README footer, 5 answers/ pages) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz
F13 hung at the 2026-07-13 pin (2,019) while live reads moved — the one inconsistency every panel judge flagged. Fresh pin from the pypistats daily series (recent endpoint was rate-limited; method noted in the row). F4 re-run on this branch: identical numbers. F3 gets a branch-check note (headline re-pins at the 0.4.18 release gate). F9 honestly stays 0.4.17 — 0.4.18 is prepped on master@8ce3592, unpublished.

Everything promised in the Jul 22 reply, staged for a minutes-not-hours turnaround when the analyst answers: asset manifest mapped 1:1 to the promises (raw million-replay JSON, RECALL method, FACTS register, redacted sample report, public comparison notes), FACTS-allowed wordings post-U5 re-pin, a correction note (2,528 live read -> 2,529 pinned), three reply skeletons (data / newsletter mention / joint content) and a what-we-don't-do section. Incidents referenced by issue number only; no third-party names; no competitor claims beyond the public COMPARISON.md.

…, partner welcome pack (U7) Owner published 0.4.18 (PyPI + GH release, 07:21 UTC). Clean-install verification caught a cosmetic desync: the shipped wheel's gatecat.__version__ still prints 0.4.17 — the bump missed gatecat/__init__.py. Fixed here with a regression test tying __version__ to pyproject (ships in 0.4.19; no republish for a cosmetic string). FACTS F9 re-pinned to 0.4.18 with the desync documented, runbook step 0 marked done and the pre-merge ordering warning retired. U7: ops/partners/welcome_pack.md — paste-ready welcome mail with the honest attribution mechanics from affiliate.py (90d cookie -> client_reference_id -> lifetime subscription pin, refund clawback, manual payouts), code format variants, [USER] onboarding commands, FACTS-only claims block with required affiliate disclosure, and an explicit don't-promise list.

Follow-ups only fire on silence, only after the due date, only sent by the owner: day-3 per tier with exactly one new fact (0.4.18 shipped, packs preview page), a shared day-7 last-touch that closes the thread, and the zero-friction downgrade variant for the sponsored-video thread (no code pre-reserved until a yes). LEDGER gains a due column — including the missing row for the first affiliate campaign send. No third-party addresses in the templates file; recipients tracked by thread ID in the state file.

…n chat) — queue v2 exhausted Third-party data stays out of the public repo: the scoring table lives in the session scratchpad and the three personalized drafts were delivered on chat for the owner to post. Gate verdicts on the incident commands were verified empirically before drafting (rsync --delete and rm -rf both VETO; the script-embedded fs.rmSync candidate was rejected for honesty — that is our published runtime-assembly gap).

…ide) Panel v3 found — and an independent curl confirmed — that the full internal loop state (including a third party's private email address) plus launch kits and research dossiers are LIVE on the public docroot: deploy_landing.sh rsynced all of docs/. Executed W1 immediately: address redacted from the state file (Gmail thread ID is the key now), rsync --exclude for AUTOPILOT-LOOP.md / launch kits / research/ with an explanatory comment, and a one-line urgent rm for the already-uploaded files appended to the existing deploy step in OWNER_RUNBOOK.md. OPEN OWNER DECISION (flagged, not executed): the address remains in the public repo's git history — rewriting history is destructive and out of the loop's authority.

…ivation (W3, 0.4.19) The biggest funnel leak: pip installs whose PreToolUse hook was never registered — every monetization surface (Solo nudge, pack hint) only fires behind an armed hook, and arming required hand-editing JSON. - setup claude-code [--global] [--dry-run]: idempotent merge that appends the documented hook entry, preserves foreign keys and other hooks, writes a .gatecat.bak backup before any modifying write, and REFUSES to touch unparsable settings.json (prints the manual block instead) - doctor: version, hook binary on PATH, where the hook is registered (project/global), protection state, and a setup hint when unregistered - 10 tests: idempotence, foreign-key survival, backup content, dry-run, refusal, --global, doctor, dispatcher routing Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz
…ass (W4) 1. post-veto nudge (the hottest product signal) now tags its CTA: teams.html?source=nudge-veto — it was the only untagged nudge surface 2. 'gate.cat report' footer shipped a literal '*' inside the pasteable URL; fixed + regression assertion so a substring match can't hide it again 3. teams.html gets the same cookieless /events funnel script as packs.html (fallback source teams-direct) + a guard test — highest-LTV page was the only one where 'nobody clicks' and 'clicks we never see' looked identical 4. PRICING.md packs section links the scope preview (?source=pricing-md) — the last blind-checkout surface 5. show_hn_ready.md: stale 0.4.17 re-pinned to 0.4.18 (FACTS F9) and packs/teams links in the prepared first comment tagged ?source=hn Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz

Right before distribution is exactly when self-contradiction kills the 'verify it yourself' pitch. All fixes verified against FACTS.md rows or the code itself, no generic scanner (per panel judges): - llms.txt: bypass suite '65/65' -> F4 verbatim (178/178 + named gap + 1/129 benign); stale 'as of v0.4.3' + unpinned coverage claim -> F3 pin - answers/*.html: 12x '38 default policies' -> 71 (prose + JSON-LD) - partner welcome pack CORRECTED: one-time packs DO accrue 30% — affiliate.py counts any paid entitlement and test_thirty_percent_accrual_one_time_pack asserts it; the previous version of the pack claimed the opposite - analyst data pack: F9 quote re-pinned to 0.4.18 (desync noted) - COMPARISON.md: '~21 curated policies' -> 71 default policy walls (F10) - partners.html: the naked stat row now carries the reproduce-it command, caveats and FACTS link; surface added to the self-verify drift guard Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz
#9 Panel judges (and an independent re-read of issue #9's tail) corrected the loop's stale state: distribution is mostly LIVE since this morning (r/ClaudeAI, partial X thread, LinkedIn, dev.to — with a live unanswered technical comment), the owner deployed master's docs/ at 09:48 (which is why packs.html is still a soft-404: it only exists on this unmerged PR, and the W1 leak survived the deploy for the same reason), and the Show HN was flagged before the prepared first comment could be posted. Queue v4 (V1-V6): state sync + live-signal handling first, then affiliate attribution on the homepage, ledger correctness before the first ref payment, campaign-response collateral, and follow-ons. The panel's separate-branch discipline note is recorded as infeasible under the harness's single-branch rule; it self-resolves at merge. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz
…nse branches (V1) The loop wrote to issue #9 but never read it — the state table (5 channels, comment IDs as provenance, a note on which channels the sandbox can and cannot check itself) closes that gap. show_hn_ready.md gains the two mod branches with silence-as-default: nothing more on HN after 72h of quiet, resubmit only on material novelty; on reinstate, the never-posted first comment goes up immediately and the 3-4h response window counts from reinstatement. The dev.to reply for the live technical comment was delivered on chat (owner posts it) — sourced only from SECURITY.md and the FACTS process, no new promises.

…rd (V2) The canonical partner link is gate.cat/?ref=CODE — printed by the affiliate CLI and promised in the welcome pack — yet the landing page carried six buy.stripe.com links and no gc-affiliate-ref script: homepage attribution was silently zero, which would make the 30% lifetime promise false on the page partners are most likely to link. - the exact script block from packs/teams/partners appended before </body> (MutationObserver already handles the bundle's hydration) - the old guard pointed at a file OUTSIDE this repo and always skipped; replaced with a real one: every docs/ page containing buy.stripe.com must carry the capture script (fails without it — verified negatively) - landing guards scoped: analytics stays cookieless and LS checkout links stay banned BEFORE the affiliate block; the functional gc_ref cookie and the script's href selector are not violations of either intent Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz
…Stripe shapes (V3) Two money bugs armed to fire on the first ref-attributed transaction: 1. Stripe announces the same first subscription payment as checkout.session.completed AND invoice.paid AND invoice.payment_succeeded, each under a different evt_ id — the evt-keyed UNIQUE constraint never deduped across types, so month one booked 60-90% instead of 30%. Accruals now key on the underlying invoice/payment (stripe:inv:<id> / stripe:pi:<id> with documented fallbacks); webhook retries stay idempotent a fortiori. 2. clawback_from_stripe resolved the referral via obj.subscription — a field real Charge objects in charge.refunded do not carry (the old fixture invented it), and pack refunds carry only a payment_intent while the referral is keyed on the Checkout Session id. The promised clawback could never fire in production. New affiliate_ref_aliases table (written at capture/accrual) + resolution chain subscription -> alias(payment_intent) -> alias(invoice) -> alias(id). Fixtures now use realistic shapes; scenarios: three-announcements-book-once, out-of-order delivery, retry dedupe, month-2 books separately, pack refund via payment_intent, subscription refund without .subscription, unrecognized refund returns 'no referral' without raising. Activation-is-sacred stays green. Full suite: 1952 passed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J7Q5Rs7ez2YWrjWKAPcHYz
…DGER for tonight's batch
The owner sent 7 affiliate mails tonight (21:10-21:21) — replies land in the
24-72h window this collateral exists for:
- followup_templates.md: the 'show me the numbers first' branch the day-3
template itself invites — pointer to the welcome pack's honest-claims
block (single source of truth), the day-zero traction sentence reused
from the Return on Security thread, and a pre-yes 30-second demo line
- welcome_pack.md: one ~60-word third-person swipe block with {REF_LINK}
and the disclosure line built in (no tweet-length variant, per judges)
- ops/launch/reply_bank_objections.md: six channel-agnostic replies, max
five sentences each (two condensed from OBJECTIONS.md + vaporware /
sandbox-is-enough / security-theater / open-core-paywall), explicit
paste-and-adapt-never-auto-post rule, no star counts
- OBJECTIONS.md drift fix: 'five named gaps' -> the F4 wording (178/178,
one named runtime-assembly gap, 1/129 benign false-block)
- LEDGER: 7 new rows (thread IDs, no addresses) with day-3/day-7 due

setup/doctor in 0.4.19 will arm more hooks, so first paid onboardings must not open with a pitch for what the customer already bought: - maybe_nudge_after_veto now early-returns when GATECAT_CLOUD_API_KEY is set (the CLI nudge already did; the post-veto path was the inconsistency). No once-per-machine flag is written, so the nudge returns if Cloud is dropped. - the pack hint is suppress-only for an owned pack: _PACKS gains the GATECAT_EXTRA_POLICIES module name (fintech/paas/http_api_breadth, matching gatecat_fulfill.MODULE_FOR) and stays silent when that module is loaded. It never suggests a DIFFERENT pack — owning Fintech still lets a PaaS CLI hint PaaS. 5 new tests (cloud -> silent + no flag; owned pack -> silent + no flag; owned skips only that pack; never-raises preserved).

…d-history loss (Y3)
cloud_reporter.ship() loaded the account key (stdlib-only, always succeeds)
then encrypted per event inside the batch loop. When the [cloud] extra
(cryptography) is absent, encrypt_event() raises RuntimeError — which the
per-event `except: continue` swallowed. The loop still read to EOF, f.tell()
returned EOF, and the cursor was advanced past every unshipped event. Result:
the entire off-machine paid history is silently destroyed and ship() returns
{"shipped": 0, "reason": "ok (e2e-encrypted)"}. A fresh subscriber who runs the
reporter before `pip install gate-cat[cloud]` loses day-1 history with no error.
Fix: a one-time capability probe (trial encrypt_event) right after
load_or_create_key(), BEFORE opening or advancing any cursor. On failure, return
a loud, actionable reason naming the missing extra and touch nothing — the
cursor stays put so a later, correctly-installed ship() recovers all events. The
probe also catches a corrupt key file, which previously escaped ship() as an
unhandled exception (violating the "raises nothing" contract).
Test test_missing_cloud_extra_fails_loud_without_destroying_history monkeypatches
cloud_crypto.encrypt_event -> RuntimeError: proven to FAIL on pre-fix code
(reason == "ok", cursor advanced to EOF), green after the fix, and a recovery
ship() restores all 60 events. Full suite: 1969 passed, 29 skipped.
… / server down (Y4) The cloud CLI's two GET paths (_fetch, _get_json) each called urlopen directly. _get_json handled 402/403, but neither handled a 401 (wrong/expired key) or an unreachable server — both escaped as a raw HTTPError/URLError and dumped a Python stack trace on a paying user's terminal, on exactly the first commands the activation page tells them to run. Centralize all network/auth handling in one shared _http_get_json(url) that both _fetch and _get_json now call: * 401 -> one actionable line naming GATECAT_CLOUD_API_KEY + a link, exit 1 * 402/403 -> _UpgradeRequired (unchanged; the upgrade message still shows) * other HTTP / URLError / TimeoutError -> one "unreachable/error" line, exit 1 _api_key() now .strip()s the key so a copy-pasted trailing newline can't 401. New tests/test_cloud_cli.py pins exactly three shapes with urlopen stubbed (no network): wrong key (401, no traceback), server down (URLError, no traceback), and a happy-path round-trip that decrypts and reports. The 401 and unreachable tests are proven to FAIL on pre-fix code (raw exception escapes). Existing behavior (no key, 402/403 upgrade path) unchanged. Full suite: 1972 passed.
…ller panel) No new gate.cat payments, no new inbound needing a draft. The only remaining queue task is Y2 (day-3 follow-ups), gated to 2026-07-25. Per panel v6's standing guidance, do NOT spin up another task-generation panel while ~40 branch commits sit unmerged and 0.4.19 is unpublished — new tasks can't convert and would be burned tokens. Verified instead that PR #27 is mergeable_state=clean with green CI on HEAD (3.11/3.12/3.13) and no METRICS.log conflict vs master. Bottleneck is unchanged and owner-side: merge PR #27 -> deploy docs/ -> publish 0.4.19/0.4.20.
…es.com) No new gate.cat payments, no new inbound needing a draft. New signal: an Undeliverable bounce for the owner's own outreach (bogumil@jankiewi.cz -> contact@devtalles.com, "recipient unknown"). That's the owner's cold-send, not a campaign in the LEDGER; finding an alternate address or re-sending is cold-outreach to a new address, outside hard constraints — no draft, surfaced to the owner instead. Queue still holds on gated Y2 (2026-07-25); no filler panel while the branch sits unmerged. PR #27 unchanged: clean, green CI.
No new gate.cat payments, no new inbound needing a draft; all inbox signals (devtalles bounce, awesome-ai-devtools template check, stale cc58444) already triaged. Y2 gated to 2026-07-25. No task-generation panel: every remaining revenue lever is downstream of an owner action/decision, so a panel would only re-derive "blocked on owner" at large token cost. PR #27 unchanged: clean, green.
…gn panel After 4 holds, instead of a 5th: run a focused adversarial DESIGN panel on the one real, non-blocked, core-product task — the scaffold-overwrite gap from the #80730 incident (npm/pnpm/yarn create into a populated dir overwrites it; gate currently ALLOWs). 3 proposers (fable/sonnet/opus, distinct lenses, every verdict grounded in a real gate replay), 2 adversarial judges per proposal (hunt false-block regressions vs F1a/F1b, test whether the danger/benign boundary is objective enough to ship without an owner product call), opus synthesis -> GO-implement / GO-warn-only / NO-GO-needs-owner + a danger/benign twin-test matrix. Breadcrumb only; guard.py (the product's most sensitive surface) is untouched until the panel returns its verdict.
…pulated dir (Y5, #80730) Closes the scaffold-overwrite gap surfaced by the claude-code #80730 incident: a scaffolder (`npm create vite` and family, `degit`) run against an EXISTING non-empty directory can irreversibly overwrite it, and no policy saw it (not a delete verb, not a git-destructive op). gate.cat replays showed ALLOW on the exact command that destroyed a week of a user's uncommitted work. Design decided by an adversarial multi-model panel (GO-warn-only): a hard BLOCK cannot clear the "catch the danger AND spare every benign twin" bar — the same on-disk state is destructive for create-vite (emptyDir()-then-delete on confirm) but SAFE for create-react-app/create-next-app (abort-on-conflict) and for additive initializers (`npm init @eslint/config`, `npx create-storybook`) that run in populated dirs by design. A BLOCK would false-block those and regress the F1a 0/13 headline. WARN (log+allow, exit 0 — the command still runs, the human sees the notice) dissolves the trade: it is structurally incapable of false-blocking and preserves F1a/F1b exactly (a warn is neither a block nor a recall miss). Implementation: - analyze_scaffold_overwrite() in action_analysis.py — reuses split_segments / cd-tracking / var-expansion / _normalize / _collect_assignments. FIRST analyzer to read the live filesystem (one non-recursive os.scandir of the resolved target); any FS error or unprovable target degrades safely (allow/warn), never crashes. Ignores VCS/editor cruft (.git, .gitignore, ...) but NOT README/LICENSE (create-vite deletes those). No-op flags (--help/--dry-run) short-circuit ALLOW. - _analyze_scaffold_class() in guard.py — WARN-only, uses the deferred_warn slot after the delete analyzer, so a chained hard-block (`... && rm -rf /`) still wins. Runs on engine_action (post inert-literal strip) so a scaffolder inside a commit message can't warn. - v1 fire-list is deliberately narrow: create-vite family + degit only (the tools whose overwrite behavior is source-verified). create-react-app/create-next-app and bare `npx vite` (the dev server) are excluded to avoid false-warns. tests/test_scaffold_overwrite.py: 43 twin cases with real FS fixtures — every danger shape WARNs, every benign twin stays ALLOW, chained hard-block still blocks, WARN-only never raises. Full suite 2015 passed; F1a still 43/43 + 0/13, F4 still 178/178 + 1/129 (re-ran recall + bypass to confirm). FACTS.md gains row F14 (WARN-only / first-non-static-analyzer caveat: advisory, not prevention). Two non-blocking product questions recorded for the owner at merge (fire-list breadth; "advisory not prevention" wording) — see docs/AUTOPILOT-LOOP.md Y5.

Confirmed PR #27 HEAD (the Y5 guard.py core change) is green in CI across Python 3.11/3.12/3.13 — the scaffold analyzer regresses nothing in CI, not just locally. No task-generation panel (ran one last hour for Y5; blocked-on-owner state unchanged). Bottleneck: merge -> deploy -> publish.

Still 2026-07-24 23:22 UTC — no new gate.cat payments, no new inbound. Queue exhausted (Y1/Y3/Y4/Y5 done). Y2 (day-3 follow-up drafts, wave 1) opens next run at 2026-07-25: Julian + AI Engineering newsletter, in-thread drafts only, skip threads that already replied, numbers from FACTS.md, zero sends.

…lian + AI Engineering) Date crossed into 2026-07-25, opening the wave-1 day-3 window. Both wave-1 threads had no reply since 2026-07-22 (verified via get_thread — my message is last), and dedupe was clean (list_drafts empty for both recipients, LEDGER, thread). Created two in-thread day-3 follow-up drafts: - Julian (JULIAN zero-friction-downgrade variant, draft r-1957033032309741764) - AI Engineering newsletter (newsletter template, draft r1939415474027940915) Numbers are FACTS.md-only (0.4.18 live = F9, bypass_suite command = F4, 30% affiliate terms). Zero sends — drafts only, the owner sends. LEDGER rows marked "drafted" (not "sent"), Y2 marked wave-1-done. Wave 2 (~10 YouTube threads from the 07-23 batch) is gated to 2026-07-26. Note: many owner-authored cold-outreach drafts (07-24, phodal/tw93/... new addresses) are in the drafts list — not mine, untouched. No new gate.cat payments. PR #27 clean, CI green.

…lossom sp. z o.o." No new gate.cat payments, no new inbound needing a draft. New Stripe item: a "provide valid business information" (KYC) request for "Blossom sp. z o.o." — not a gate.cat payment, and Stripe is off-limits to the agent. Unclear whether Blossom is the legal entity behind gate.cat's own Stripe or another of the owner's businesses; flagged to the owner one line, because an unaddressed KYC on the gate.cat account could restrict it and block payments. Y2 wave 2 gated to 2026-07-26; rest of queue exhausted. PR #27 clean, CI green.

…pattern) No new gate.cat payments, no new inbound needing a draft. A second Stripe "provide valid business information" (KYC) request arrived — "Fundacja Lokalny - Certyfikowany" (08:36), after "Blossom sp. z o.o." (#66). Now a pattern: multiple owner entities getting identical KYC mails in 2 days (zeszyty, Blossom, Fundacja Lokalny) — a Stripe compliance sweep or possibly Stripe-impersonation phishing. None is obviously the gate.cat entity, so gate.cat's Stripe isn't visibly flagged. Agent can't touch Stripe; guidance to owner delivered once (verify sender, handle whichever entity backs gate.cat's Stripe). Y2 wave 2 gated to 2026-07-26; queue otherwise exhausted.
