    "note": "This repository's own host-tool declaration, layered over the fleet declaration in spec/host-tools.json by scripts/host_gate.py. The two are not the same file, do not hold the same thing, and do not share a schema: an overlay allows an empty tools list and a partial entry, and the fleet declaration requires at least one entry and every field of each. The fleet declaration states what every repository's procedures need and is the hub's to change. This one states what this repository needs beyond that, so it is where a tool only this repository uses, or a floor only this repository requires, is declared. Layering is tighten-only: an entry here may add a tool, raise a floor, or turn an optional tool required, and may not lower a floor or turn a required tool optional, because that would retire a fleet check from inside the repository it protects. A rejected relaxation is reported rather than dropped. The tools list is empty because this repository needs no tool the fleet declaration does not already carry, and the file is still present rather than absent, on the same footing as OPERATIONS.md: a repository with nothing to add carries the stub, so the declaration is somewhere a reader can find rather than somewhere they have to know to look. A repository copying this file leaves the $schema pointer behind, because the schemas are hub-only and no selector carries one, so a relative pointer resolves to a path that repository does not have and a schema-aware editor reports the file invalid for a reason nobody there can fix.",
