Canon gate

Before a brief is surfaced it is checked against everything this creator has already said publicly, which hooks are still cooling down, and which formats the model has ruled out.

Run the canon gate on a draft

Paste a headline. With no feature vector the contradiction rule is evaluated live against the recorded canon (not persisted). Pick the six features to score and gate a full candidate — a fresh posterior draw, every rule, persisted to the ledger.
