A deliberate test fixture for RepoGates. There is no code here and nothing to run.
RepoGates checks a repository, model or package before it reaches a developer's machine. This repository exists so that demos and smoke tests have something that RepoGates is expected to block, without pointing at real malware.
What trips the check
CLAUDE.md — an instruction file AI coding agents read — carries a run of
invisible Unicode tag characters (U+E0000–U+E007F). Hidden characters in an
agent instruction file are how the "Rules File Backdoor" technique hides
instructions from a human reviewer. Here they only spell out a label
(REPOGATES TEST CANARY - NOT AN INSTRUCTION). RepoGates check C19 fires on
them, and the default policy blocks.
Expected result: BLOCK.
Safe to open, pointless to use
No executable code, no scripts, no binaries, no network calls. If an AI agent opens this repository, the hidden text tells it nothing. It is published by the RepoGates team for demonstrations; it is mirrored on GitHub, GitLab and Hugging Face under the same name.
