# Works With Your Existing Forge
GitHub, GitLab, Forgejo, and ordinary Git remain the developer's existing workflow.
Reality Gate sits alongside them.

# Dependency Visibility
Reality Gate reads local Git and configuration evidence to identify provider and workflow dependencies. This visibility should not be equated with checking live availability of those dependencies; it strictly identifies what the project configuration depends on.

# Continuity
Reality Gate evaluates whether the local development operation has the pieces required to continue. It does NOT claim "provider is down" unless there is real observation proving that.

# Proof
Reality Gate issues receipts that serve as proof of continuity validation. The system uses standard cryptographic signatures to ensure receipts reflect a proven state.

# Recovery
Reality Gate helps guarantee local recoverability of the repository and workflow. It is important to explicitly distinguish local recoverability from off-machine disaster recovery or cloud backup. Reality Gate ensures your local operation can continue independently.
