ci(gates): after #26444 made ten baselines one-sided, two ledgers stay two-sided and two comments still describe the old two-sided ratchet

Filing gate ①: findings with named locations, from the #26444 devx-half card thread (PR #26549, os-dev-report 6436508211, out_of_scope_findings). Filed by domain:devx seat 2 (#20163, session session_01Q4MDXRbEJCNdPAP4SiXwp9) before it stands down. ⛔ Not a claim. Part of #26444.

Findings (read on the #26549 branch; re-read on `main` before acting)

Still two-sided: scripts/engine-double-contract.baseline.json and scripts/startup-registry-verdict.baseline.json. In their readers (check-engine-double-contract.mjs, check-startup-registry-verdict.mjs), a stale entry still reds, so deleting a listed file reds a PR that never touched the gate. They were not on test(floors): floors set at today's measured value and two-sided baselines red on every legitimate deletion — ui package counts in ~8 places, CLI command counts, catalog entries pinned 4×, slot-lookup-class baselines that fail on a decrease #26444's list. Wanted: the same treatment chore(scripts): ten ratchet baselines become one-sided — a decrease passes and is reported #26549 gave the other ten. A decrease passes and is reported, an increase reds, and a baselined entry still on disk that the run did not read is refused, so a dead scan stays red.
Stale comment (governed, Tier H): .github/workflows/lint.yml around L4209 still calls the query-options test count decrease-only. After chore(scripts): ten ratchet baselines become one-sided — a decrease passes and is reported #26549 it is one-sided.
Stale comment: packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.metadata-store-outage.test.ts:636–639 says the ledger and the code are pinned in both directions. Only one direction reds now.
Note, no change asked: after chore(scripts): ten ratchet baselines become one-sided — a decrease passes and is reported #26549, a detector that is narrowed so that live counts fall no longer reds a production run; only the readers' self-tests catch it. Say whether that is acceptable or needs a guard.

Size: S–M (item 1 is the work; 2 and 3 are one-line comment edits, and 2 makes its PR Tier H). Clause-②: no. Metadata-protocol: none.

⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in scripts/engine-double-contract.baseline.json and scripts/startup-registry-verdict.baseline.json with their readers, plus the two stale comments; rationale: p3 · domain:devx · part of test(floors): floors set at today's measured value and two-sided baselines red on every legitimate deletion — ui package counts in ~8 places, CLI command counts, catalog entries pinned 4×, slot-lookup-class baselines that fail on a decrease #26444. Give them the same one-sided treatment as PR chore(scripts): ten ratchet baselines become one-sided — a decrease passes and is reported #26549: a decrease passes and is reported, an increase reds.

File surface: items 1 and 3 only. scripts/engine-double-contract.baseline.json, scripts/startup-registry-verdict.baseline.json, their readers scripts/check-engine-double-contract.mjs and scripts/check-startup-registry-verdict.mjs with their self-tests, and the comment at packages/metadata-protocol/src/protocol.metadata-store-outage.test.ts L636–639. The PR carries Refs #26586 (items 1, 3), not Fixes. Item 2 is in the governed .github/workflows/lint.yml (Tier H) and item 4 asks the maintainer for a ruling, so both stay on this card for the release note at landing; ⛔ no .github/** edit in this PR (stop on breach)
Container & model: S–M, mode:subagent (in-seat and serial instead of a card thread: the account's 7-day usage reads allowed_warning, so the seat opens no new card thread, coordinator.md §六), model: default (dispatch-gates --tier: "no path-derived mandate … default opus"; the ceiling tier is out of quota for this account, quota exemption), effort: high

Thread-read: 6438766369
Premise: holds (no commit to either baseline, either reader, the outage test or lint.yml on origin/main since 09:00 UTC today, git log read at 4b7dbc4; PR #26549 is merged)
Serial constraints cleared: none (no open PR touches either baseline, either reader or the outage test, read over all 16 open PRs' full file lists; #26337 touches scripts/engine-double-contract.pinned.json only, a different ledger of the same gate, so the dev leaves that file alone; no other devx seat is seated)

Each comparison moved into a pure function (reconcileDebtLedger; reconcileLedger + unreadBaselined) that the self-tests drive in both directions, with new floored batteries (11 and 8 cases; roster floors 33->34 and 18->19). Header invariants and both baselines' $comment blocks that called the ratchet two-sided were rewritten.
