+      # The nineteen gates of `ui/.github/workflows/repo-gates.yml`, which
+      # GitHub stopped running when the tree moved under `ui/` (it reads only
+      # this repository's `.github/workflows/`). They judge what objectui ships
+      # — `ui/content/docs/**`, `ui/skills/**`, the package READMEs and the
+      # documented component types — so the change most likely to trip them is
+      # a docs-only or skills-only PR, which the `filter` job's `ui` globs
+      # already include.
+      #
+      # Ported as that workflow ran them, in its order: the install-free gates
+      # here, before the install; the gates that read built `dist/*.d.ts` after
+      # this job's last build, below. Every step keeps its `<check> — <step>`
+      # name, and every one runs `if: !cancelled()` (or on the install / build
+      # it needs), so one red gate never hides another of these; each script's
+      # header is the authority on what it checks. Dropped in the port: the
+      # `.objectstack-pin` restore / build / save (the merged tree builds
+      # `@objectstack/*` from the workspace, see the header above
+      # `type-check-ui`) and the turbo-cache report / prune bookkeeping (this
