# T-226: G-009: Research artifact enforcement — block inception commits without docs/reports artifact

## Context

G-009: C-001 says "create docs/reports/T-XXX-*.md BEFORE conducting research" but nothing enforces it. Current commit-msg hook only warns. Escalate to block: after the first inception commit, subsequent commits must either include docs/reports/ changes or have the artifact already exist.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] commit-msg hook blocks (not warns) inception commits after first if no docs/reports/T-XXX artifact exists
- [x] First inception commit still allowed (task creation commit)
- [x] Commits that include docs/reports/ changes pass through
- [x] Commits where artifact already exists on disk pass through
- [x] `--no-verify` bypass still works (Tier 2 escape hatch)
- [x] G-009 status updated to closed in gaps.yaml

## Verification

grep -q "BLOCKED.*inception.*research artifact" .git/hooks/commit-msg
python3 -c "import yaml; d=yaml.safe_load(open('.context/project/gaps.yaml')); g9=[g for g in d['gaps'] if g['id']=='G-009'][0]; assert g9['status']=='closed'"
