From b0894dbf64354c29a446c3bb51fe4472a1ac34a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pigbibi <20649888+Pigbibi@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 21:23:02 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] ci(governance): let agents clear high-risk changes The gate already accepts agent-approved. Make the rule say so: an agent clears high-risk changes itself once the current head has a clean Codex receipt and green contexts, and records the label in the ledger.
