Merge lane base check: develop f26c9a3bb8db

Merge lane base check: run the full gate on `develop` at `f26c9a3bb8dbb2edb67e5cc5fba99ef5ef9e6508` alone and report it certified or red: nothing had certified it since the last attempt. A red verdict files a fix task; it never holds the lane. Filed by the control plane (`app/merge_lane.py::_certify_idle`). How: run `python3 tools/merge_lane.py run` once. It takes this check's batch, gates that commit with the full gate in its sandbox and reports `certified` or `develop_red` itself. Never run the gate by hand: a hand-run green reports nothing, so no certificate is recorded (Task 6722).

Base check: develop f26c9a3bb8db certified — full gate green (exit 0, 671s, 57,442 passed, 0 failed) via tools/merge_lane.py run. Nothing merged or ejected; queue empty, develop green. Memory: none applied.
