v1.0.0

First stable release of The Gate, an editorial quality gate API.

Core evaluation

• POST /api/gate — submit a draft, brief, and optional voice guide; receive a structured verdict
• Four evaluation modes: content, strategy, technical, communication
• Fixed 8-criterion rubric, 1–5 scoring with evidence quotes from the draft
• Machine-readable verdicts: APPROVED, APPROVED_WITH_NOTES, REVISE, BLOCKED
• Weighted confidence score on every evaluation
• Revision instructions populated on REVISE and BLOCKED

Platform

• API key management (create / list / revoke) with SHA-256 hashing — raw keys never stored
• Per-key rate limiting (100 req/hr default)
• PostgreSQL review history with list and retrieve endpoints
• Full OpenAPI 3.1.0 specification; Orval codegen (React Query hooks + Zod validators)
• Dockerfile + deploy configs for Railway, Render, Replit, and VPS
