kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 c882bfdca6 style: drop the Exception comments from the gateway work
Deletions only, no line added. The rationale each of these carried is already in
the commit message of the change that introduced it, which is where it belongs.

Three of the twenty Exception blocks this change set accumulated had already been
committed when the audit ran, so they were invisible to it: an audit that
enumerates git status stops seeing a file the moment it is committed. Two further
details are worth recording because they are what let these survive.

The purge pattern (^|\{)#\s*Exception: does not match an indented comment, so a
block nested inside YAML never matched while the report claimed none remained.
Anchoring it as ^\s*(#|//|--|\{#)\s*Exception: raised the count from 12 to 17.

One of the three was written as a paragraph inside a Python docstring rather than
as a comment. Docstrings are an allowed kind, so no comment grep matches them and
the repository's own comment lint passes over them; using the allowed kind to
carry the banned label is the same rule-gaming in a syntax the checks do not
cover.

Verified the deletion removed nothing else: the diff contains zero insertions,
every touched YAML file still parses, and the unit suite and comment lint are
green.
