The same gate runs on every follow-up `gh_push_branch`. The tools also refuse dirty trees and commit-author mismatches.

Verify by running the same command against the same paths on a clean checkout of the default branch and confirming the identical failure.

Document the bypass in the PR's `## Verification` section, one sentence: ``bun check` fails on `main` for unrelated reason X; skipped pre-publish gate.`
