+// std.r1_pb_census_gates - R1C-D `.dag` TestClaim fixtures for the six
+// PB census gates (T-PB-A ×4 + T-PB-B ×2). The Rust ratchets in
+// `src/v3/compiler/tests/integration/sg0_census_test.rs` remain the
+// drift-detection authority on the underlying lists; this file wires the
+// release-gate `.dag` layer that R1 close evaluates, per the strict
+// reading of `THESIS.md §"Tests are structural data"`.
+//
+// Predicate shapes consumed here (`CensusBoundCheck`, `CensusSubsetCount`,
+// `FixedPointConverges`, `RatchetZero`, `GeneratedFromDag`) live at
+// `src/v3/std/verification.dag`. Runner dispatch lives at
+// `src/v3/compiler/src/test_runner.rs::run_claim` (the
+// `eval_*_shape` family).
+//
+// **Today's evaluation state** (R1C-D acceptance: gate evaluates `Pass`
+// or `Fail` against the live census, never `NotYetImplemented`):
+//
+//   D.1 / D.6 — `CensusBoundCheck` against `EXPECTED_HAND_AUTHORED_*`
+//               at `bound = 0` is RED until cascade-promotion 0-floor
+//               (`docs/design-pure-bootstrap-zero.md`, LIVE 2026-04-25)
+//               retires the residual lists. Pacing owned by Pure
+//               Bootstrap to Zero program; surfaced cross-manager.
+//   D.2 — `CensusSubsetCount` lens-producer subset over the non-test
+//         census; same dissolution-pacing dependency as D.1.
+//   D.3 — `FixedPointConverges` runs DB-8 twice and compares snapshots.
+//   D.4 — `RatchetZero` checks the consolidation ratchet count.
+//   D.5 — `GeneratedFromDag` checks that the test census is empty
+//         (same dissolution gating as D.6) AND that the listed paths
+//         all live in the SG-0 generated-file manifest.
+//
+// Lives under `src/v3/compiler/tests/fixtures/` so it is **not**
+// auto-staged into `Dag::new()` bootstrap (`src/v3/std/*.dag` is the
+// build-script-enumerated tree). The runner test in
+// `tests/integration/r1c_d_pb_census_gates_test.rs` lowers this file

+//! carries is:
+//!
+//!   1. The fixture compiles cleanly through `compile_to_dag`.
+//!   2. `TestRunner::run_suite` returns six results in declared order.
+//!   3. **No** result is `ClaimResult::NotYetImplemented(_)` — proving

+//!      `test_runner.rs` (R1C-D Acceptance line: "Runner dispatches each

+//!   4. Each result is `Pass` or `Fail` against current census state, never
+//!      an evaluation error from a missing dispatch arm.
+//!
+//! The Rust ratchets in `tests/integration/sg0_census_test.rs` remain the
+//! drift-detection authority on the underlying lists. RED `.dag` gates are
+//! surfaced to the R1 Closure Manager inbox as dissolution-work-pending
+//! cross-manager queue entries; pacing is the Pure Bootstrap to Zero
