tms gate¶

Print a PDLC stage's recorded gate result.

Synopsis¶

tms gate <input.json> --stage <s> [flags]

Description¶

tms gate is read-only: it reports a Gate already recorded in the model's gates array — written by tms analyze --apply — it does not compute one itself. There is no tms gate --compute or equivalent; gate computation only ever happens as part of an analyze --apply call.

Flags¶

Flag	Description
`--stage`	PDLC stage to evaluate (required)
`--ci`	Exit non-zero if the gate has not passed
`--json`	Output as JSON
`--help`, `-h`	Show help

--ci treats a pending gate result (no recorded result yet) the same as failed — not passing.

Examples¶

Default Output¶

tms gate threat-model.json --stage deployment

Output:

Gate: stage=deployment result=passed
  - has-invariant equals true
Evaluated by: evaluation.EvaluateStageGate

JSON Output¶

tms gate threat-model.json --stage deployment --json

{
  "id": "gate-deployment",
  "stage": "deployment",
  "criteria": [{"metric": "has-invariant", "operator": "equals", "value": "true"}],
  "result": "passed",
  "evaluatedBy": "evaluation.EvaluateStageGate",
  "evaluatedAt": "2026-08-16T20:39:40Z"
}

CI Enforcement¶

tms gate threat-model.json --stage deployment --ci

Exits 1 (no output beyond the default text report) if the recorded gate's result is failed or pending.

No Gate Recorded¶

tms gate threat-model.json --stage product-operations

No gate recorded for stage "product-operations" in threat-model.json

Exits 1. A stage only has a recorded gate after at least one tms analyze --apply call for it.
