-# [S] Gate moq-net's translation
-
-## Goal
-
-A change that breaks moq-net's translation fails in the merge queue, not the next nightly:
-`just ci` for a `ts` change translates moq-net at the pin and type-checks it, as
-`just ts moq` does. Today only `nightly.yml` runs `just ts moq`, so
-[moq-dev/rust2#519](https://github.com/moq-dev/rust2/pull/519) landed a panic on moq-net
-that a bench run found hours later.
-
-## Plan
-
-`just ts check` already checks out the pin for the bench's type-check, so what this adds is
-building moq-net's dependencies through the driver and translating it. Measure that in CPU,
-cold and warm, against [the checks budget](/quest/m0/checks/README.md) before adding it;
-if it costs too much, consider running it only for changes under `ts/src` or `ts/runtime`.
-
-Public API: none.
