Paul BakausandClaude Opus 4.7 dc715c7359 craft + codex: explicit user gates before code (Codex test fix)
A live Codex test against v3.1.0 caught the model skipping both
shape questions (when PRODUCT.md was present) and image generation
entirely, going straight to implementation after the compact shape
brief. The loophole: "confirm or override" at the end of compact
shape reads as the final gate, even though codex.md adds four more
gates before code.

Three tightenings:

- craft.md: new "Gates: do not compress" section at the top that
  names the four gates explicitly (shape brief, direction questions,
  palette, mock approval). Compact shape's closing line now says it
  advances to Step 3 and codex.md, not Step 4. New precondition at
  the top of Step 4 forbids mentioning implementation, file paths,
  or patch plans until codex.md Steps A-D are complete.

- codex.md: new "Four stop points before code" intro listing the
  user-facing gates as a numbered checklist. Step A now says it's
  required even when shape just produced a confirmed brief; the
  shape and Step-A questions cover different ground. Explicit STOP
  markers added to Steps A, B, and D.

- Changelog: v3.1.0 "Shape gates restored" bullet rewritten as
  "Shape and craft gates strengthened" to cover the additional
  craft.md sequencing.

Retagging v3.1.0 to include this fix rather than cutting a 3.1.1
since the original tag is minutes old, no marketing went out, and
the gate work is what the asset-producer story needs to actually
work in Codex.
