The #35 data gate stays at zero because pass-rate only accrues from review/ debug calls *through the routing pod* — Crush, cloud chat, and the local .skills all bypass it. Document the connect → route → flywheel steps, the endpoints (koala:30310/mcp + routing-mcp.d-ma.be), the cold-start behavior (nil pass-rate routes cloud until passes accrue past the 0.90 floor, then local qwen36 activates), the 50-invocation / 2026-07-10 target, and the Berget fallback.
