 This tool is informational by default (ARCHITECTURE.md:507, job name `monolith-symbol-report`
 ARCHITECTURE.md:568): with no gate flag it prints its report and exits 0, whatever it found.
-Two flags turn it into a hard gate, and P1's G1 uses both - the strangler's pull build has to
-stay byte-identical, so `--fail-on-symbol-set-change --fail-on-added-bytes 0` is the spelling of
-"nothing was added, removed or grown":
+Three flags turn it into a hard gate, and P1's G1 uses the first two - the strangler's pull build
+has to stay byte-identical, and G1 spells that out as `added == removed == resized == renamed == 0`
+with a `.text` delta of zero:
 
     python3 scripts/symbol_report.py --before base.so --after head.so \
         --threshold 0 --fail-on-symbol-set-change --fail-on-added-bytes 0
 
+  * `--fail-on-symbol-set-change` covers all FOUR buckets, not just added/removed: a resize at zero
+    net delta and a rename at zero net delta are both source changes, and both are what a guard
+    rewrite produces. It always compares at threshold 0, whatever `--threshold` is set to.
+  * `--fail-on-added-bytes 0` means byte-identical, so a SHRUNK .text fails it too; a positive
+    budget keeps the one-sided "must not grow by more than N" meaning. `--fail-on-text-delta` is
+    the explicit spelling of the zero case for a run that wants no byte budget at all.
+
 A gate that fires still writes its Markdown and JSON first: the report IS the diagnosis, and a
 CI job that failed before uploading its artifact is a job nobody can act on.
