This is the load-bearing coherence check — parallel subagents can't see each other's work, so this is the only place drift gets caught.
 6. **Fold in findings**: for each `newFindings` item and any bug you find, create a new Gitea issue in this milestone (`milestone: MS_ID`), wire dependencies if it blocks/relies on others, and let the next pass pick it up. Fix trivial bugs inline instead of filing.

 Any command that compiles the whole project or runs the whole suite goes through the machine-wide semaphore:
 
 ```bash
-<skills-root>/linear-common/scripts/gate.sh -- <buildCommand>
+<skills-root>/tracker-common/scripts/gate.sh -- <buildCommand>
 ```
 
 It bounds concurrency machine-wide (default `nproc/4` slots), caps the command's memory and CPU via a systemd scope, and pins test/build parallelism env vars (`CARGO_BUILD_JOBS`, `RUST_TEST_THREADS`, `VITEST_MAX_*`, `MAKEFLAGS`, `GOMAXPROCS`, node heap) so the suite doesn't fan out to every core.
