docs(agent): let a scheduled run merge behind an independent review

The runs produced five green PRs and no way to land them without a person. What makes that safe to automate is not CI — the author writes the tests — but a reviewer in a fresh context: last night's caught two guards that left the whole suite green when deleted, an over-narrow sweep, and an overlay covering the artwork it was editing.

So the gate is seven conditions, and a Kind/Feature is never one of them. It can exist at all because a push to main publishes nothing here: release.yml is workflow_dispatch and the four publishers key on v* tags, so a wrong merge costs a revert rather than a package nobody can unpublish. The section says so, and says it is void if that changes.

+# The merge gate
+
+This half is **not** run by the author. It is run against a PR by
+someone who has not seen the branch before, and it decides whether the
+work lands on its own or waits for a human.
+
+A push to `main` publishes nothing here — `release.yml` is
+`workflow_dispatch` only and all four publishers key on `v*` tags — so
+the cost of a wrong merge is a bad commit on `main` and the time to
+revert it. That is the whole reason this gate can exist. If that ever
+changes, this section is void.
+
+**Merge only when every one of these is true.** Any single no means
+leave it open.
+
+1. An independent review of the diff returns **MERGE** or **MERGE WITH
+   NITS**. `CHANGES NEEDED`, or a review that could not reach a verdict,
+   means a human looks.
+2. `CI / check (pull_request)` **and** `CI / e2e (pull_request)` are
+   `success` on the PR's current head. Ignore the `(push)` contexts —
+   they are `skipped` by design and Gitea folds `skipped` into a
+   combined state of `pending` that never clears.
+3. The PR is mergeable with no conflicts, rebased onto current `main`.
+4. The diff touches **none** of: `.gitea/workflows/`, `.releaserc.yml`,
+   `packaging/`, `build/`, `scripts/gitea-release.sh`,
+   `backend/database/sql/schemas/`, `backend/database/staleshape*.go`,
+   `go.mod`, `go.sum`. These either publish to somewhere a mistake
+   cannot be taken back from, or can destroy a database that a user
+   cannot rebuild.
+5. The issue is `Kind/Bug`, `Kind/Testing`, `Kind/Documentation` or
+   `Kind/Enhancement`. **A `Kind/Feature` is a design decision and is
+   never auto-merged**, however green it is.
+6. The diff is under ~600 changed lines across under ~15 files. Past
+   that, "a reviewer read it" stops being a claim anyone should take on
+   trust.
+7. The PR does not claim to have verified something no tier here can
+   see. A change whose evidence would have to come from a physical
+   device is reported, not merged.
+
+**When it merges**, use `{"Do":"merge"}` on
+`POST /api/v1/repos/yonlu/yellowjacket/pulls/<n>/merge`. Then **check
+the issue actually closed** — a squash or an edited merge message drops
+the `Closes` footer — and close it by hand with a comment naming the
+commit if it did not. `unclaim.yml` strips `Status/In Progress` on
+close; if the label is still there a minute later, strip it yourself.
+
+**When it does not merge**, say so on the PR in one paragraph: which
+condition failed and what would satisfy it. Leave the PR open, leave
+the label on, and file the review's substantive findings as issues so
+they are searchable rather than buried in a PR comment.
+
+**A nit is not a blocker, and it is not free either.** A `MERGE WITH
+NITS` merges, and each nit worth keeping becomes an issue. Do not fix
+nits on the branch: that is a second author pass with no second review,
+which is the thing this gate exists to prevent.

-## The visual tier does not gate, and that is measured (#196)
-
-`make ui-visual` is the same suite with nine `toMatchScreenshot`
-baselines switched on. **Nothing runs it but a person**, deliberately,
-and the reason is a number rather than a preference: the committed
-baselines were recorded on Arch, and replayed in a bare `ubuntu:24.04`
-container — CI's `check` image — three of them fail for reasons that
-have nothing to do with any component.
-
-| baseline | Arch | ubuntu:24.04 |
-|---|---|---|
-| `page-header` filtered-by-search | passes | ratio 0.03 differ, against a 0.02 allowance |
-| `track-info` | passes | ratio 0.03 differ |
-| `seek-bar` | 1152×18 | 1152×17 |
-
-The two references that were genuinely stale did not even agree about
-their *new* size — `now-playing` renders 1152×65 on Arch and 1152×64 in
-the container. So moving CI's `check` job from `make ui-test` to
-`make ui-visual` is not a one-line change: it needs a second,
-container-recorded baseline set, which every local run would then fail
-against. That is the same trap the other way round, and a pre-push hook
-is the same fault again — one machine's baselines against everybody
-else's renderer.
-
-So the tier stays local and opt-in, and the rule that replaces the gate
-is:
-
-- **A change that moves a component's geometry refreshes that
-  component's reference in the same commit, having read the image.**
-  Look at the PNG; the dimensions in the failure message are the cheap
-  half of the answer.
-- **Never refresh a reference you did not cause.** #196 exists because
-  four of them drifted across three unrelated merges, and every red run
-  made the next person likelier to stop running the tier than to read
-  it.
-- **State the world the shot is taken in.** The stores are singletons,
-  so a visual case that sets nothing photographs whatever the previous
-  case left behind — which is how the sidebar's baseline came to have
-  Tracks lit and `now-playing`'s to be playing from a dynamic mix.
-- **Record one file with `make ui-visual-update UI_ARGS=<path>`**, and
-  check `git status` before committing either way. That filter is only
-  honoured since #204: the recipe was a bare `--update`, and vitest
-  takes the following positional as the flag's value, so the path was
-  swallowed and *every* baseline was re-recorded — blessing any stale
-  one in silence.
-
-What the tier is worth, for the record: it is a *layout* check, blind to
-colour (the component tier has no `:root`, so it renders the fallbacks —
-`make ui-visual` passed unchanged through a whole palette rewrite,
-twice), and it has caught one thing nothing else could — swapping
-`library-status-indicator`'s `<button>` for a `<span>` lost the UA
-stylesheet's `box-sizing` and grew the badge 36→38px.
+Visual baselines are font-hinting and compositing sensitive, which is
+why they are opt-in: they only mean anything on the machine that
+recorded them.
