+# Gate every pull request into `main` on a fast, DB-free check suite, so a broken
+# build or a failing test can't reach the branch that gets released.
+#
+# Mirrors RunicGateway/website's pr-checks.yml — this module is two npm packages
+# shaped like that repo's `server/` and `client/`, and it is loaded into that
+# repo's process, so it is checked the same way with the same Node version.
+#
+# ── Package guard ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+# This repo is in the planning phase and has no module code yet: the API contract
+# is settled in Phase 1 and Phase 3 is what extracts the UO half of `website/`
+# into this repo (docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md §2.7). Rather than leave the repo
+# ungated until then — or land a workflow that red-Xes every governance/docs PR —
+# each half's gates are conditional on its package.json existing. Before the code
+# lands, the job reports green with a notice saying so. The moment a package.json
+# appears the gates arm themselves; nothing here has to change.
+#
+# The same trick guards the client build, which is the higher-risk half: it must
+# build with Vite in library mode with react/react-dom/react-router-dom EXTERNAL,
+# because there is exactly one React instance in the page and core owns it. A
+# module that bundles its own React loads and then breaks hooks at runtime, which
+# is precisely the kind of failure worth catching before merge.
+#
+# Not here yet, deliberately, because there is nothing for them to act on until
+# Phase 3: a release workflow (the `module-uo-<version>.tar.gz` artifact and its
+# sha256 manifest), the zero-internal-imports check, and the module's own frozen
+# route manifest. Each lands with the code it checks.
+#
+# Enforcement (one-time, in the Gitea UI):
+#   Repository Settings → Branches → Branch Protection (rule for `main`)
+#     • Enable Status Check
+#     • Status check patterns:  PR Checks / *
+#   Note: Gitea only lists a context in its dropdown after it has reported once,
+#   so let this workflow run on one PR first. The `PR Checks / *` glob matches
+#   without needing the dropdown, and keeps matching as jobs are added.
+#
+# Runner: the shared self-hosted `ubuntu-latest` runner. These jobs need only
+# Node — no Docker socket, no database.
