What: flip the 3 GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS in tools/gate-check-v3/gate_check.py from the untrusted (pull_request) variants to the trusted (pull_request_target) variants (qa-review, security-review, sop-checklist).

Why: gate-check-v3 currently requires the UNTRUSTED (pull_request) shadow checks. Those run in the PR-author-controlled context and do not go green through the normal approve/ack flow, so gate-check-v3 stays red even when the authoritative (pull_request_target) gates are green. The (pull_request_target) variants run in the base-branch (spoof-resistant) context and are the real governance gates — requiring them is both correct AND more secure.

Impact: unblocks PRs whose gate-check-v3 is falsely red on the shadow variants (e.g. the security fix #2584 + the ~16-PR cluster) once this lands on main.

Scope: test-config-only — 3 string changes, no production logic. Authored by CR-A at PM's request (MiniMax stalled); needs 2 distinct genuine reviews (NOT agent-researcher — I'm the author here) + an operator admin-merge to break gate-check-v3's own circular self-block.

Integrity note (CR-A): an earlier edit added a pre-checked SOP checklist signing all 7 items — including the HUMAN-ONLY attestations (root-cause #4, no-backwards-compat #6). An engine/AI must not sign those. Removed the invalid pre-acked checklist to keep the governance record honest; genuine SOP attestation (human for the human-only items) + the operator admin-merge are the legitimate path for this circular-gate PR.

**What:** flip the 3 `GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS` in `tools/gate-check-v3/gate_check.py` from the untrusted `(pull_request)` variants to the trusted `(pull_request_target)` variants (qa-review, security-review, sop-checklist). **Why:** gate-check-v3 currently requires the UNTRUSTED `(pull_request)` shadow checks.

gate-check-v3's GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS required the UNTRUSTED (pull_request)
variants of qa-review / security-review / sop-checklist. Those shadow checks run
in the PR-author-controlled context and do not flip green through the normal
approval/ack flow, so gate-check-v3 stays red even when the authoritative
(pull_request_target) gates are green. Switch the three to the TRUSTED
(pull_request_target) variants — they run in the base-branch context (spoof-
resistant) and are the authoritative governance gates. Test-config-only change;
no production logic touched.

APPROVED — 5-axis review on head 637c9200b7.

Correctness: verified the diff is limited to tools/gate-check-v3/gate_check.py and only flips the three GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS from the untrusted (pull_request) variants to the trusted (pull_request_target) variants. No production code or other logic changed.

Security: this is the right direction. The pull_request_target governance checks are the authoritative, spoof-resistant gates; the pull_request shadows run in PR-author context and should not be required for merge authorization.

Robustness/readability/performance: no runtime or performance impact, explicit context names remain easy to audit, and legitimately required product CI contexts are untouched. Current status emission includes the trusted qa-review/security-review/sop-checklist variants.

Caveat: because this PR changes gate-check-v3 itself, it may still need the operator/admin circular merge path after the distinct approvals are present.

5-axis review — agent-reviewer (2nd distinct; author agent-researcher excluded, agent-reviewer-cr2 already approved → 2-distinct).

Diff verified independently (.diff at head 637c9200): ONLY tools/gate-check-v3/gate_check.py (+3/-3) — the three GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS (qa-review, security-review, sop-checklist) flipped (pull_request) → (pull_request_target). No production logic, no other files. Tooling/config only.

Correctness ✅ — Decisive evidence on this PR's own status set: the three new (pull_request_target) contexts are real, emitted, and green (qa-review/security-review/sop-checklist all success). The OLD (pull_request) strings were broken: qa-review & security-review emit only (pull_request_review) + (pull_request_target) — they never emit a (pull_request) variant — and sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request) is the untrusted shadow that sits at failure. So the prior config required unsatisfiable / wrong contexts; this points the gate at the authoritative ones.

Security ✅ (improvement) — pull_request_target runs trusted base-branch logic, so a PR author cannot forge these statuses by editing workflow files in their own PR. The (pull_request)/head-context variants are spoofable. Tightening the governance gate to the trusted variants is the correct, safer required-context set (consistent with the established trust-boundary model).

Robustness ✅ — pull_request_target fires on the base for all PRs (incl. forks), so the gates are reliably emitted — strictly more reliable than the old config, which referenced never-emitted / failing contexts.

Performance ✅ — N/A (3-line constant).

Readability ✅ — Minimal, well-scoped edit to a clearly-named constant with an explanatory comment.

No regression. Note (non-blocking, already flagged by PM): #2589 is itself gate-check-v3-blocked on main (circular self-reference) → requires an operator admin-merge after 2-distinct. APPROVE.
