Scripts/lifecycle-gate.sh + UITests/LifecycleGateUITests.swift were added on
2026-09-01 and are committed as a tool, not as evidence.

Outstanding before it can be cited:

  1. It has never completed a run. The first attempt drove the machine to load 591 and
    starved the developer's own emulator and simulator out of existence. It now refuses to
    start above load 20 (FN_GATE_FORCE=1 overrides), but has not been run to completion
    on a quiet machine.
  2. It has not been proven able to go red. A green gate that cannot fail is exactly
    what the iOS CI gate turned out to be. Reverting the sign-in identity fix should turn
    it red on the "Security keys changed" assertion; until that has been observed, a pass
    means nothing.
  3. Each run creates two real accounts on the accounts service. Best-effort deletion at
    the end has not been added.
