`abcd launch --dry-run` reports a `gates` array built in

issueresolvedmajoriss-2608231226342272

abcd launch --dry-run reports a gates array built in internal/core/launch/dryrun.go: secret+pii-scan, marker-block, installability-smoke, documentation-auditor, citation-baseline. receipt_gate is not among them, and no other field reports it.

So the preview whose stated purpose is "the bundle, the scan, and the gates" answers cleanly while the gate that will actually refuse the release goes unmentioned. Run before the v0.6.2 cut, it reported version 0.6.2, 105 bundle files, zero secret/PII hard-fails, smoke ok, 51 citations with receipts — and said nothing about the missing semantic receipts that then failed the release.

This is a loud-staging violation of the subtler kind. The two not_implemented gates in that list are exemplary: they announce that they did not run. receipt_gate is worse off than unimplemented — it is fully implemented, it is armed at release time, and the preview simply does not know it exists. An absent row reads as "no such gate", which is the one thing it is not.

The preview must not become a second trust root: release.yml deliberately owns the required-gates list, because the workflow rather than the committer-editable in-tree config is what decides the gate's teeth. So the preview should report what receipts are RECORDED for the candidate commit and point at the runbook, not assert which gates are required.
