abd6b92 shipped a Status-line change without CURRENT-STATE (GA-R1 C1);
my lint pipe masked the FAIL exit -- same defect class the queue-pass
session owned yesterday. This commit lands the owed update (post-carve
rulings, D-135, refreshed NEXT) + changelog item 8. Lint gate now keys
on exit code (1=FAIL blocks; 2=standing WARN passes).
