+  # Aggregator gate -- the single check intended to become the required status
+  # check on main. The Socket Firewall smoke jobs are conditional (deps-changed
+  # gates them, and exactly one of free/enterprise runs per PR), so neither can
+  # be required directly: a required check whose job is `if:`-skipped is never
+  # created and sits at "Expected -- Waiting for status to be reported"
+  # forever, permanently blocking merge (this hits every Dependabot/fork PR and
+  # every PR that doesn't touch deps).
+  #
+  # This job runs unconditionally (`if: always()`), depends on all the
+  # conditional jobs, and fails ONLY when one of them actually failed or was
+  # cancelled. A `skipped` dependency passes -- so the gate is green when no
+  # deps changed, and otherwise satisfied by whichever smoke path ran (free for
+  # Dependabot/forks, enterprise for trusted maintainers). A real Socket
+  # Firewall block surfaces as a smoke-job failure and thus a gate failure.
+  #
+  # NOT YET wired into branch protection -- added during a soak period so the
+  # check is visible before it becomes blocking. Requiring it before it lands
+  # on main would strand every other open PR on the trap above.
