Verified 2026-08-18: seven detector strings live in cadence-core/bin/risk-diff.test.mjs (a JWT sign call, ALTER TABLE, a Stripe reference, rm -rf).

Any phase touching that file fires the blocking risk_surface gate on its own fixtures. One phases range matched six of eight categories this way.

The gate is blocking at every stakes level and its re-arm is capped at one round, so a self-match spends a real budget on nothing.
