+## 🎯 Scope & Compliance
+- **Ticket ID**: `#278, #283, #288` | **Track**: `A`
+- **Audit Mode**: `BUGFIX`
+- **Base Comparison**: `origin/main..HEAD`
+
+### 📦 Deliverables & Verification
+- ✅ **Done**: Branch validation & ticket enforcement: restricted integration branch ownership bypass to only match valid owners and non-empty slugs (`<owner>/integration-<slug>`), rejecting bare `integration` or empty slugs. Enforced ticket validation on all bugfix (`<owner>/bugfix-<slug>`) and integration branches before allowing ownership bypass (#278 / CI-04). Updated `scripts/policy-gate/README.md` to reflect slug and ticket rules.
+- ✅ **Done**: Requirement mapping and test verification: added `traceability-matrix-anchors` test to enforce that `audit-traceability-matrix.md` correctly maps all behavioral requirements to executable test files instead of the metadata inventory file (#283 / CI-07).
+- ✅ **Done**: CI performance envelope check: wired `CI_SEMI_AUTOMATABLE_THRESHOLDS` into `audit.browser.spec.js` as a hard budget cap on active thresholds (capping relaxation at 2x frame time = 33.4ms and 1/2 FPS = 30 FPS relative to canonical 16.7ms / 60 FPS). Validated that effective CI thresholds under default `CI_TOLERANCE_FACTOR` (1.3) yield ~21.7ms p95 frame time and 46 FPS (#288 / CI-17).

+# 🚀 Track A: Resolve issues #278, #283, #288 (CI & Gate Hardening)
+> **Summary**: Resolves issues #278, #283, and #288 by hardening the branch validation logic, enforcing complete requirement-to-test mapping in the traceability matrix, and refining CI headless runner budgets to adhere strictly to the 2x target envelope.
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Description
+
+### 🔄 What Changed
+- **`scripts/policy-gate/lib/policy-utils.mjs` & `run-checks.mjs`**: Restricted integration branch ownership bypass to only match valid owners and non-empty slugs using the `<owner>/integration-<slug>` convention (#278 / CI-04). Enforced ticket validation on all bugfix (`<owner>/bugfix-<slug>`) and integration branches before allowing ownership bypass, throwing if no ticket ID is present in branch name, commits, or metadata. Supported 2-3 digit ticket IDs (`A-278`).
+- **`scripts/policy-gate/README.md`**: Updated constraints table to clarify non-empty integration slug requirement and ticket validation enforcement on bugfix and integration branches.
+- **`tests/unit/policy-gate/traceability-matrix-anchors.test.js`**: Created a new test suite that parses `docs/implementation/audit-traceability-matrix.md` and validates that every backticked path exists on disk. More importantly, it enforces that behavioral requirement rows do not cite only the metadata inventory suite (`audit.e2e.test.js`), ensuring direct traceability to real E2E/integration/unit suites (#283 / CI-07).
+- **`docs/implementation/audit-traceability-matrix.md`**: Updated matrix anchors to map REQ-01, REQ-02, and REQ-09 to their actual runtime test files instead of the metadata inventory test file.
+- **`tests/e2e/audit/audit.browser.spec.js` & `audit.e2e.test.js`**: Wired `CI_SEMI_AUTOMATABLE_THRESHOLDS` into `audit.browser.spec.js` as a hard cap on active thresholds (capping relaxation at 2x frame time = 33.4ms and 1/2 FPS = 30 FPS). Validated that default `CI_TOLERANCE_FACTOR` (1.3) produces effective thresholds of ~21.7ms frame time and 46 FPS (#288 / CI-17).
+
+### 🎯 Why
+- **#278**: Bypassing ownership checks for integration and bugfix branches must enforce ticket validation so developers cannot bypass ticket checks with arbitrary branch names.
+- **#283**: To guarantee that functional requirements are verified by real runtime execution/assertions instead of just listing them in the metadata inventory mapping.
+- **#288**: Wiring CI threshold limits into `audit.browser.spec.js` ensures that slow runner VM relaxation remains bounded by a hard 2x cap while asserting effective CI targets (21.7ms / 46 FPS).

+
+## 🧪 Verification & Audit
+
+### ✅ Verification
+- [x] **Master Check**: `npm run policy`
+> *Note: This command includes linting, all test suites (unit, integration, e2e), and policy gate validations.*
+
+### 📋 Audit Traceability
+- **AUDIT-F-17** | `[Semi-Automatable]` | Verification: `tests/e2e/audit/audit.browser.spec.js` + `tests/e2e/audit/audit.e2e.test.js`
+- **AUDIT-F-18** | `[Semi-Automatable]` | Verification: `tests/e2e/audit/audit.browser.spec.js` + `tests/e2e/audit/audit.e2e.test.js`
+
+---
+
+## ✅ PR Gate Checklist
+
+### 📋 Required Checks
+- [x] **Read Standards**: I have reviewed [AGENTS.md](file:///home/ertval/code/zone-modules/make-your-game/AGENTS.md) and the agentic workflow guide.
+- [x] **Policy Compliance**: Ran `npm run policy` locally; all checks pass.
+- [x] **Ownership**: Verified files remain within declared ticket ownership scope.
+- [x] **Branching**: Branch name follows `<owner>/<TRACK>-<NN>` convention.
+- [x] **Audit Coverage**: Confirmed full coverage for F-01 through F-21 and B-01 through B-06.
+- [x] **Evidence**: Attached Manual-With-Evidence artifacts for F-19, F-20, F-21, and B-06 (if applicable).
+
+### 🏗️ Architecture & Security
+- [x] **ECS Isolation**: `src/ecs/systems/` has no DOM references (except `render-dom-system.js`).
+- [x] **Adapter Injection**: Simulation systems access adapters only through World resources.
+- [x] **Safe Sinks**: Untrusted content uses `textContent` or explicit attribute APIs.
+- [x] **No Bloat**: No framework imports or canvas APIs introduced.
+- [x] **Dependencies**: Checked dependency and lockfile impact.
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Security & Architecture Notes
+- **Security**: Strictly validates branch ownership check bypass scopes to prevent unauthorized track boundary bypasses.
+- **Architecture**: Enforces requirement traceability to actual test suites, preventing false verification signals.
+- **Risks**: None. Refined CI thresholds remain strict but resilient to VM performance fluctuations.
