What
A post-session check that verifies whether behavioral constraints actually appeared in agent output. Complements filesystem gates (which verify file state) with NL-channel verification (which detects whether rules shaped behavior).
Why
Filesystem gates check that files were updated, hooks are wired, and exit codes fired. But they don't answer: did the rules we wrote actually change what the agent did? Neural-gate fills this gap by scanning session transcripts for constraint keyphrases.
How It Works
Stop hook → read constraint keyphrases from config → scan session transcript → report echo rate per constraint → never blocks (detection only, not enforcement)
Honest Limitations
These limitations are structural — the same Prose Barrier (verification and generation share the NL channel) that makes filesystem gates necessary.
Integration
Module D of a composable quality pipeline. Works standalone. Complements:
The only gate that explicitly does not block — it detects, reports, and lets the human decide.
