Retire next-work item 1: the low-temperature gates are on the bench

The coolant floor and the warm-up gate are implemented, host-tested and
bench-proven (CAMPAIGN-LOG has both runs, the heater-slug lesson
included). BRINGUP: item 1 closed, items 2 to 20 are now 1 to 19, the

+number, and the catalog test refuses a release under 60 s. The second
+run (16:33Z) passed with the right physics: WARMUP held with the heater
+at 40 percent (26214 of 65535) and the fans idle, released at 75 s on

+the table rows and the floor hysteresis on the host. The warm-up
+holds indefinitely under its gate by design: a loop that stops warming
+(the heater plateaus 8 to 9 C over ambient) is named once and keeps
+holding, so a shop colder than about 8 C under the gate needs the gate
