 ## Approach
 
-1. `src/devx/api_clients.py` — `get_repo_variable` reads `data` first and falls
-   back to `value` for older server/fixture compatibility. Write path unchanged
-   (PUT/POST `{"value": ...}` verified live: 201/204).
-2. `src/devx/ci/nightly_gate.py` — unknown non-empty status blocks the deploy
-   (fail closed) instead of allowing it. Unset (bootstrap) still allows.
-3. Tests cover the `data` field, the `value` fallback, and fail-closed unknown
-   status.
