Verify that all required artifacts exist and pass quality checks before advancing to the next phase. Triggers at Phase 1→2 and Phase 2→3 transitions. Use when: 'ready to proceed', 'check if we can move on', 'checkpoint', 'sign off', or at the end of each phase. This is a MANDATORY gate — no phase transition without passing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/checkpoint-gate@sha256:86bf948f4fa537ccThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.2664461, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
