   - Left deliberately: the gate chain still short-circuits before the execution gate when the
     contract gate fails. The stage fails either way — cheap gates first, no COMPLETE-lie.

+**Precondition, filed as #314.** #191 (dependency resolution before scaffold accept) closed on
+2026-07-21: `runSetupCommand` runs the profile alias `setup` before every build gate and #40 resolves
+it per toolchain. But `setup` is operator-declared in `.correx/project.toml`, and a freestyle run
+scaffolding into an empty workspace has no profile — so `npm run build` runs with no `node_modules`.
+Invisible until now; #263 making the terminal gate actually fire is what surfaces it. For #267,
+hand-write a `project.toml` in the QA workspace; the general fix (toolchain-default `setup`) is #314.
