[resumeRamp] kill-gate is tripped; clearKillGate first…

Error message

[resumeRamp] kill-gate is tripped; clearKillGate first after investigating.

What it means

Safety interlock in resumeRamp: the config row has killGateTripped set, meaning an automatic kill gate stopped the ramp. Resuming without investigation would restart sends blindly, so the operator must explicitly run clearKillGate (with a reason) first.

Solutions

1. Investigate why the kill gate tripped (Convex logs, Resend dashboard, failure metrics) before doing anything else
2. Once the cause is understood and fixed, run clearKillGate with a documented reason, then resumeRamp
