  "_comment": "PayneSDD gate config. In your own project put this in .claude/settings.json (shared with the team — normally COMMITTED) or .claude/settings.local.json (personal, auto-git-ignored by Claude Code); in THIS repo the whole .claude/ dir is locally git-ignored. PAYNE_TEST_CMD here runs this repo's self-check — swap it for your real test command ('npm test', 'pytest -q', 'swift test'). SECURITY: the gate executes PAYNE_TEST_CMD on every Stop — in a shared repo, review changes to it like code. 'timeout' (seconds) must exceed your suite's worst case: a timed-out hook silently does NOT block (600 suits this repo's quick self-check — raise it for a real suite). Per task: `touch .payne-active` arms the gate, `rm .payne-active` disarms it (when done, abandoned, or honestly escalated).",
