fix(fetch): give "no gate" its own exit code so callers can tell it apart - #99

…part
`squabble fetch` returned `ExitCode::from(2)` for every failure path: bad
usage, a malformed slug, `gh` failing, unparseable JSON, a serialisation
error — and "this PR's base branch has no `required_status_checks` rule".
That last one is not a malfunction. It is a true, useful answer: there is
no gate here, so there is nothing to triage.
Collapsing them into one code forced every caller into a false choice.
MetaManifold-WebUI's `Gate triage` job hit exactly this: its `Fetch the
live gate for this PR` step went red on an unprotected base branch, and
the only ways out were to fail on a non-finding or to swallow rc=2 and
mute genuine breakage with it. A consumer cannot ask a question the
producer never answers, so answer it here.
- `FetchError::{NoGate, Failed}` replaces the bare `String` error.
`From<String>` keeps `?` working on every helper that still yields one,
and always produces `Failed` — a real error can never become a NoGate.
- `NoGate` exits 3; everything else keeps exiting 2, so callers that only
know about 2 keep failing on precisely what they failed on before.
- `fight` propagates it too, via `load_gate`, so both live subcommands
agree on what "no gate" means.
- The contract is documented in the module docs and printed in `--help`.
Also corrects the message itself. It claimed "an unprotected branch has
no gate to squabble over", but this code path reads only the rulesets API
(`repos/{slug}/rules/branches/{base}`). Measured 2026-09-21: a branch with
a live 6-context `required_status_checks` ruleset returns 404 "Branch not
protected" from the classic endpoint, so the two surfaces are disjoint and
the absence of a ruleset rule is not evidence a branch is unprotected. The
message now names the surface it queried and says what it cannot see.
Tests: four, each killed by its own mutant — collapsing the two constants
to one value (2 fail), making `From<String>` yield `NoGate` (1 fail), and
restoring the "unprotected" wording (1 fail). Verified live: no-gate -> 3,
malformed slug / missing repo / missing PR -> 2, and two genuinely gated
PRs still fetch and diagnose at 0.

Return Failed for incomplete required-status-check rules.
For a matching required_status_checks rule, GitHub requires parameters and parameters.required_status_checks. The current deserialisation accepts {"type":"required_status_checks"} and "parameters": {}. run_with_greens then collects no contexts and returns FetchError::NoGate, which emits exit code 3 instead of the failure code 2.
Require these fields during deserialisation, or return FetchError::Failed when either field is missing. Add regression tests for both malformed shapes.

The preceding commit branches on `squabble fetch` exit 3 for "the base branch has no required_status_checks rule". That code did not exist at the pinned revision, so the fix was inert: rc=2 fell into the `*` arm and hard-failed exactly as before. An ordering trap, and one that looks identical to a working fix from the diff alone. hyperpolymath/cicd-squabbler#99 merged at 2026-09-21T18:55Z and is what introduced `FetchError::NoGate` and `ExitCode::from(e.exit_code())`. Re-pinning onto its merge commit is what makes the preceding commit live. The window also carries #94..#98 -- CI permissions indentation, two DEED grammar gate fixes, an actions.lock reconcile, and a harden-runner bump. None touches squabble's CLI behaviour. The pin comment now records the FLOOR rather than just the value, because moving this pin backwards would silently revert the exit-code handling below without touching a line of it.
