<HARD-GATE>
NO SHIP WITHOUT QUALITY GATE ≥ 8/10.
Sub-8 ships = production bugs + reviewer time burn. 30 min gate = hours saved.
</HARD-GATE>

<red-flags>
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "Tests pass, ship it" | Tests are 1 of 8 dimensions. Check all. |
| "Quality is subjective" | 8 dimensions + concrete criteria = objective-ish scoring. |
| "Skip on hotfix" | Exception only for P0 incident response. Document deferred items. |
</red-flags>
