FORGE Route Gate MC101641

FORGE Route Gate MC101641 
 MC #101641 implements forge-route-gate.sh , a Claude Code PreToolUse:Task hook that blocks verifier-class Opus dispatch when FORGE local inference is healthy. 
 Hook file 
 
 ~/.claude/hooks/forge-route-gate.sh 
 
 Settings wiring 
 
 ~/.claude/settings.json includes bash ~/.claude/hooks/forge-route-gate.sh in the Task hook path. 
 
 Verifier-class detection 
 The hook treats the following subagent classes as verifier/reviewer/comparator class: 
 
 verifier 
 reviewer 
 comparator 
 baseline 
 evidence-verifier 
 redzo-reviewer 
 pi-orch-mini-verifier 
 
 Required behavior 
 
 Non-verifier Task calls pass through. 
 Verifier-class Task calls are blocked with exit 2 when FORGE is healthy. 
 If FORGE is unreachable, the hook allows fallback to Opus with a warning. 
 FORGE_GATE_BYPASS=1 allows explicit override and writes bypass audit logs. 
 
 Evidence 
 Durable remediation evidence for review is stored under /tmp/101641-evidence/ , including fresh syntax/settings checks, live FORGE-healthy block smoke, simulated FORGE-down fallback smoke, bypass smoke, and direct probe output. 
 Dependency status 
 MC #101652 is now ready_for_review with a PARTIAL/BLOCKED validation finding. It does not prove the full restructure complete, but the dependency is no longer open/unstarted.
