🚧 The "Toll Booth" for Code Quality

Implement an automated quality gate in the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline that measures the debt change for every pull request (PR).

The system automatically fails a PR if it increases the overall technical debt score (e.g., adds complexity, reduces test coverage) above a certain threshold, forcing the developer to clean up their own mess before merging.

This acts as a preventative measure, stopping the bleeding and dramatically slowing the accumulation of new tech debt.
