type:debug
Symptom-to-triage playbook for this repo's recurring failures. Blocked pushes, drift gate reds, plugin bump reds, coverage pin trips, hook exit 143, session NON_COMPLIANT. Maps each symptom to a first command, discriminating experiment, fix path, and trap. Use when you say `triage this failure`, `why is my push blocked`, `debug this CI red`. Do NOT use for incident history (use `ai-agents-failure-archaeology`) or measurement tools (use `ai-agents-diagnostics-toolkit`).

Every row below was earned by a real incident; the retro path is cited so you can read the full story. The playbook answers one question: given this symptom, what is the FIRST command to run, what experiment discriminates between causes, and what trap has already cost…
