The gate refuses the old tool-container pattern spreading, not a rebuild of what already stands (hq to-be 38 WP2.4, amended by WP3)

Once the runtime module is registered, a module serving tools from a container built on the
runtime's image is refused at registration — as written, including every rebuild of the thirty-odd
modules already in that shape, from the day the runtime arrives until WP4 onward moves each one.
That would stop the catalogue's whole pipeline to make a point the record already makes. Now a
module already registered in that shape — judged from the manifest the catalogue holds and what
its newest build stood on, the same two things a new registration is judged by — is rebuilt as
before; a module new to the catalogue in that shape, or one that had moved to a bundle and comes
back, is refused naming the record.
