A publish gate is the fixed check a piece of generated work has to pass before it can leave the system under a brand name. It is a rule rather than a judgment: it decides the same way every time, and a model does not get to argue with it.
Why it matters
Human review does not survive volume. One person can read every draft when there are five a week; nobody reads every draft when there are five hundred.
The tempting fix is a second AI checking the first. That works until the two share a blind spot, and it quietly turns the thing protecting your name into one more opinion you have to take on trust.
A gate is different precisely because it is boring. A named word is present or it is not. Contrast clears the threshold or it does not. The answer is the same on Monday and on Friday, at five drafts and at five hundred.
How Jinn treats it
In Jinn each product has a publish gate that is a fixed rule rather than a second model's opinion. A banned word stops a post cold. A pixel-level contrast check has the final word on legibility, so an unreadable ad is rejected no matter what a visual judge thought. A claim that cannot be backed by a quality source is held back rather than published as fact.
The frame is simple. The checks that guard your name are rules you can rely on, not another AI's opinion you have to trust.
The publish gates and the reasoning behind them are documented publicly. See it
