Launch gate

Know if the launch is still real.

Public scan is free. Paste a GitHub repo — score 0–100, fail on P0 blockers (dead hull, public secrets, fake demo). Watch is $9/mo if you already shipped.

Public scan is free and stays free. Watch is for a hull you already launched — checked daily, plus Check now. Not a ping farm.

P0 blockers

Fail the launch.

Dead hull, public secrets, or a fake demo. Score can look fine. Gate still says no-go.

GitHub Action

Optional. Drop this in .github/workflows/keel-gate.yml. It curls the gate and fails the job if launch is no-go. No checkout.
