What to build

The gate runs as scoped targets - a doc target, a code target, a lint target
- each running only the checks for its file classes.
Each target states the file classes it covers, checks the diff stays inside
them, and fails closed when the diff spills out, naming the target to run
instead.
This replaces the hardcoded .md-only shortcut.
The full run, and the forge/CI stage, still cover the whole diff. The scoped
targets are for fast iteration while working.

Acceptance

The doc target on a diff that touches a .go file fails, names the class that
spilled, and names the target to run.
The doc target on a doc-only diff passes and runs only the doc checks.
The .md-only hardcoded path is gone.
A full gate run covers every class regardless of the target.

Part of #767.

#767 epic: the gate scopes to the change, runs heavy tests as their own stage, and reads as a list of guarantees
