/**
 * CacheGate — runtime decider that gates cache-marker application.
 *
 * Runs every iteration AFTER the CacheDecision subflow produces
 * `scope.cacheMarkers` and BEFORE the BuildLLMRequest stage applies
 * them. Three rules can fall through to "no-markers" (skip caching);
 * default branch is "apply-markers" (proceed with caching).
 *
 * Why a decider stage and not a function: footprintjs's `decide()`
 * captures evidence on `FlowRecorder.onDecision` natively. The
 * `cacheRecorder()` (Phase 9) reads
 * `event.evidence.rules.find(r => r.matched).inputs[]` to surface
 * WHY caching was applied or skipped each iter. Same channel
 * footprintjs uses for every other decision; same renderer in Lens.
 *
 * Three rules (evaluated top-down; first match wins):
 *   1. Kill switch — `Agent.create({ caching: 'off' })` was set
 *   2. Hit-rate floor — recent hit rate < 30%; cache writes outpacing
 *      reads, auto-disable to avoid the cache-write penalty
 *   3. Skill churn — active skills changing too rapidly for caching
 *      to amortize (Anthropic LLM expert's concern from Phase 4 review)
 *
 * Default branch (no rule matches): `'apply-markers'`.

 * (the skill-churn cache rule was effectively dead). The tail tracks what
 * the agent just switched to, which is the churn signal we actually want.
 *
 * KNOWN LIMITATION: if several skills are activated in the SAME iteration,
 * only the last (tail) is recorded for that iteration — churn can
 * under-count a multi-skill burst. A fully order-independent signal would
 * read `activatedInjectionIds.length` directly in the gate; that is a
