## Context

The repository inherited human-era product gates that used external analysis
scores and minimum coverage thresholds. Those tools can provide observations,
but they cannot be the constitutional authority of a Guanghu-owned code
channel. A threshold such as 85% also creates an accepted middle state, while
Guanghu's standard is complete or incomplete.

## Decision

Register GLS-0844, the Guanghu Native Quality Gate (GHNQG), as the only
authoritative quality receipt for Guanghu OS source publication and
installation. Every required gate scores exactly 100 or 0. The aggregate is
`PASS_100` only when all gates are 100; otherwise it is `FAIL_0`.

The bootstrap executor runs with the current construction toolchain. The
terminal owner is `GOSK_CODE_CHANNEL_QUALITY_EXECUTOR`. External analyzers are
optional observers with no blocking or authorization role.

## Consequences

- Missing external accounts, credentials, subscriptions, quotas, or scores
  cannot obstruct Guanghu source publication.
- A prior receipt based on “above a minimum threshold” is historical evidence,
  not a GHNQG acceptance receipt.
- Coverage must be declared against an auditable execution scope and reach
  exactly 100%; other source types remain covered by protocol validation,
  source fingerprints, and sensitive-information checks.
- The code channel may emit only `PASS_100` or `FAIL_0`.

## Supersedes

For Guanghu OS and the Guanghu Code Channel, this decision supersedes the
authority granted to external scoring in ADR-0018, ADR-0064, and ADR-0160.
Those records remain historical or may still describe legacy Tolaria
workflows, but they do not govern Guanghu publication or deployment.
