[Extension]: Update gates (Quality Gates — Enforcement Layer) to 0.3.3

[schwichtgit]

Extension ID

gates

Extension Name

Quality Gates (Enforcement Layer)

Version

0.3.3

Description

Deterministic quality enforcement for Spec Kit projects at three boundaries: the agent boundary (Claude Code PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hooks), the git boundary (pre-commit / commit-msg), and the CI boundary (projected GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins pipelines). One policy file, one verify entrypoint, identical results at every boundary.

Key Features

• /speckit.gates.init — Infer a quality policy from the repo, project the enforcement runtime, wire agent + git hooks, and run a self-test
• /speckit.gates.verify — Run the full gate suite on demand (same checks as the Stop hook, pre-commit, and CI)
• /speckit.gates.doctor — Check enforcement health: hooks wired, policy valid, runtime version matches extension
• /speckit.gates.ci — Project CI enforcement for a platform: github | gitlab | jenkins
• /speckit.gates.upgrade — Re-project the enforcement runtime after an extension update (never touches policy.json)
• /speckit.gates.sync — Sync the policy baseline contract: pin, snapshot, and materialize the effective policy (--update moves the pin as a reviewable change)
• /speckit.gates.propose — Propose this repo's policy deviations upstream as a change request against the baseline
• /speckit.gates.constitution — Guided constitution session: interview to a profile, pick corpus principles, and produce an enforcement-annotated, ratifiable draft
• /"policy.json" — Quality gate policy (user-owned; init seeds it, upgrade never overwrites)

Testing Checklist

• Extension installs successfully via download URL
• All commands execute without errors
• Documentation is complete and accurate
• No security vulnerabilities identified
• Tested on at least one real project

Submission Requirements

• Valid extension.yml manifest included
• README.md with installation and usage instructions
• LICENSE file included
• GitHub release created with version tag
• All command files exist and are properly formatted
• Extension ID follows naming conventions (lowercase-with-hyphens)

Testing Details

Tested on: macOS (bash 3.2, BSD toolchain) and Linux/GNU (ubuntu-latest CI).

Test project: the extension repository dogfoods itself — CI projects the
released runtime and runs verify.sh --boundary ci, the canary suite
(planted violations must be rejected), and 11 test suites on every PR.
The release asset is sha256-checksummed and sigstore-signed; the release
workflow fails closed if the tag, manifest, and package versions disagree, or
if required package contents (manifest, constitution corpus, runtime) are
missing from the zip.

Downstream: in production use by real downstream projects (GitHub and
GitLab CI backstops); the 0.3.1 line carries fixes from structured downstream
feedback (issues #31–#34).

Example Usage

# Install (this exact version)
specify extension add gates --from https://github.com/schwichtgit/spec-gates/releases/download/v0.3.3/gates-0.3.3.zip

# Or always the latest release
specify extension add gates --from https://github.com/schwichtgit/spec-gates/releases/latest/download/gates.zip

# Set up enforcement (infer policy, project runtime, wire hooks, self-test)
/speckit.gates.init

# Prove it holds
/speckit.gates.verify
