Budget Gate

Droid Gates next-task spawn by budget + cycle caps (stub, Gap 14)

๐Ÿ“–About

Publication is withheld because the supplied material lacks the runtime contract and source approval needed to establish its public projection.

๐Ÿ“–Usage

Do not publish this material until the declared public fields are verified through shared.carolopedia_publication and a valid provenance receipt can be written atomically with the page.

๐Ÿ“–Purpose

BG-S1 watches the budget and review-cycle meters for Elrond. Before the next task can start, the droid checks whether there's still budget room and available review slots. If yes, it opens the gate. If no, it escalates to Orion. This keeps Elrond from needing to manually verify every task start.

๐Ÿ“–Duties

- Reads initiative budget and review-cycle limits
- Sums up all spending and counts completed review phases
- Decides if gate is open (proceed) or closed (limits hit)
- Escalates to Orion when gate closes
- Logs gate status to the activity log

๐Ÿ“–Constraints

- Does not decide to continue, re-sequence, or close the initiative; only gates task spawning
- Does not modify budget or cycle limits; only enforces them
- Does not spawn tasks itself or handle task replanning (Merlin's domain)
- Escalates to Orion after 3 database read failures
