+### setup-instance step 15 names --no-push for a local-only first publish; gates.md and a docstring follow #159
+
+The close-out review of #159 found three places the change had not reached. `setup-instance.md`
+step 15 shows the first `publish` without `--no-push` and announces exit 42; a local-only instance
+now gets exit 1 there, before the gate, so the step says so and names the flag. `gates.md` said
+the Mass-Update Gate counts "working-tree changes before `publish` stages them", which no longer
+describes a gate that stages into a scratch index; it now says the uncommitted changes `publish` is
+about to stage. The `_reconcile_summary` docstring still named "no remote" as an outcome with no
+message.
