The dogfood run went green. The gate had governed zero calls.
That is the agent-governance-plane's entire job: run an AI coding agent inside a sandbox, route every tool call through a Unix-domain-socket gateway, and write a signed, hash-chained journal of every allow/deny. A green run that gated nothing isn't a pass. It's a governance plane governing air.
The gate that catches its own hollowness
AGP's CI dogfood doesn't just check that the harness exits 0. evidence-bundle.sh fails on a 0-gated run — if the journal shows no decisions, the build is red regardless of process exit status. That guard is what surfaced this at all: the agent process came up, the harness reported success, but the bundle had no verdicts to verify. Red.
That's the last I'll say about hollow-green detection here. It's the door, not the room. The room is why zero calls reached the gate, and the answer turned out to be a collision between two things that look unrelated until you trace the syscall: Linux capabilities and a Unix socket's permission bits.
