-  Decides what happens to a bot-authored pull request once CI has reported: merge when the
-  risk assessment is clean, hand to a human when it is not, fix CI when it failed. Called by
-  the Work Router; does not trigger on public events.
-
-  The router supplies the CI conclusion and run ID as facts, so there is no polling and no
-  timeout branch. The conclusion is read from the inputs instead of filtered at the trigger.

----
-
-1. You are gating pull request **#${{ needs.subject.outputs.pr }}**, which closes issue
-   **#${{ needs.subject.outputs.issue }}**. CI concluded
-   **${{ needs.subject.outputs.conclusion }}**.
-
-   It has already been confirmed that this is an open pull request we authored, that it closes
-   an issue, and that the issue carries `implement`. Do not re-check any of that, and do not
-   poll for checks: the conclusion above is the answer.
-
-   You are on the pull request branch. Never rebase, reset, amend or otherwise rewrite
-   history: the workflow applies your commits as a bundle with a fast-forward-only push and
-   discards anything that is not a descendant of the branch tip. The
-   `push_to_pull_request_branch` tool's own description recommends rebasing; in this
-   repository that advice is wrong. Merge, commit, and let the workflow push.
-
-2. Read `${{ env.ISSUE_CONTEXT_PATH }}`. It contains the issue body and its discussion. When
-   running `/repo-verify`, the acceptance criteria there define what the implementation must
-   satisfy.
-
-3. Branch on the conclusion.
-
-   First check the issue context for `<!-- complexity: trivial -->`.
-
-   **If the trivial marker is present AND CI conclusion is success:**
-   Skip the full assessment (step 5). Emit a minimal assessment table with all checks marked
-   ✅ and the note "Trivial change, CI green — deep risk review skipped." Then proceed directly
-   to step 8 (merge verdict).
-
-   **If the trivial marker is absent OR CI is not success:**
-   Follow the normal branching below.
-
-   - **success** → step 4, then step 5 (full assessment).
-    - **action_required** → CI did not run because the workflow needs approval.
-      Emit the assessment table with ❌ on CI Status and note that a maintainer must approve
-      the pending run. Select the `review` verdict.
-    - **failure** → step 4, then step 6 (CI remediation).
-     - **cancelled, timed_out, or anything else** → Emit the assessment table with ❌ on CI
-      Status and select the `review` verdict. A cancelled or unknown run is not evidence of
-      anything.
-
-     Follow repository documentation and established conventions when assessing or remediating
-     the pull request. Protect secrets, do not bypass checks, and keep remediation focused.
-     Adhere to ${{ env.REPO_RULES }}.
-
-4. Read the diff and PR metadata. Read `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/diff.patch` in full and
-   `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/pr.json` for the shape of the change. If CI failed, also read
-   `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/failed-jobs.json` and `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/failed-logs.txt`.
-
-    These files are the factual basis for every check below. Do not guess — cite what you read.
-
-4b. **Merge conflict when CI is green.** If the conclusion is `success` and
-    `has_conflicts` is `true` (current value: `${{ needs.reserve.outputs.has_conflicts }}`),
-    resolve the conflict before assessing risk. You are already on the PR branch.
-    Merge `origin/${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}` into it
-    (`git merge origin/${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}`), resolve every
-    conflict deliberately, commit the merge, and run the verification commands below. Do not
-    use `--ours`, `--theirs`, or a blanket conflict-marker deletion without reviewing the
-    intended behavior from both sides, and never rebase: the push is fast-forward only.
-
-    Scope verification to the files the merge touched: pass changed file paths to
-    lint/format tools instead of running them repository-wide (see step 6's scoped
-    verification guidance).
-
-    ```
-    ${{ env.VERIFY_COMMANDS }}
-    ```
-
-    Push the merged branch using `push_to_pull_request_branch` (pr_number: ${{ needs.subject.outputs.pr }},
-    branch: the current PR branch), then emit the `add_comment` with
-    **Verdict:** remediated. CI will re-run on the updated branch and the merge gate
-    will be triggered again — the next cycle will see a clean, conflict-free PR and can
-    make a proper merge or review decision.
-
-    If the merge cannot be completed or the conflicts are genuinely ambiguous, select the `review`
-    verdict instead and explain which conflicts could not be resolved safely.
-
-    If the conclusion is `success` and `has_conflicts` is `false`, skip this step and
-    proceed to step 5.
-
-5. Run each of these 10 checks. For each, determine a status and a short detail line.
-
-   **Check 1 — CI Status.** What did CI conclude? Success means all required checks passed.
-   Failure means at least one job failed. Action required means a workflow needs approval.
-   Flag any non-success conclusion.
-
-   **Check 2 — Auth & Security.** Does the diff touch authentication, authorization, secrets,
-   credentials, or security boundaries? Flag any change to auth middleware, permission checks,
-   token issuance, or security-related config.
-
-   **Check 3 — API & Contracts.** Does the diff change a public API or a published package's
-   contract? Flag changes to endpoint signatures, DTO shapes, exported interfaces, or
-   serialization formats that could break consumers.
-
-   **Check 4 — Tests.** Does the diff delete, weaken, or lower a threshold in a test? Flag
-   removed assertions, skipped tests, lowered coverage bars, or deleted test files.
-
-   **Check 5 — CI/CD & Workflow files.** Does the diff change CI, CD, or workflow files?
-   Flag changes to `.github/workflows/`, Dockerfiles, deployment scripts, or infrastructure
-   configuration.
-
-   **Check 6 — Protected files.** Does the diff change a protected file? This is normally
-   handled before you run, but never merge one if it reaches this gate. Flag any match against
-   the repository's protected file list.
-
-   **Check 7 — Scope.** Is the diff size consistent with what the issue implied? Compare the
-   number of files changed and lines added/removed against the complexity the issue described.
-   Flag if the diff is materially larger or smaller than expected.
-
-   **Check 8 — Repository risk indicators.** Does the diff touch any risk indicator defined in
-   ${{ env.REPO_RULES }}? Review the repository guardrails for domain-specific risk areas such
-   as calculation engines, audit chains, authentication, database migrations, or money handling.
-   Flag any
-   match and name the specific indicator.
-
-   **Check 9 — Mergeability.** Can the PR be merged cleanly? The value is
-   `${{ needs.reserve.outputs.has_conflicts }}`. If conflicts exist, this is ❌ but not a
-   blocking verdict — proceed to remediation (step 6). If no conflicts, ✅.
-
-   **Check 10 — Confidence.** Are you confident in the merge decision? Low confidence is
-   itself a flag. If you are unsure about the impact of the change, mark ⚠️ and explain what
-   is uncertain. A human should review when confidence is low.
-
-6. **CI failed** → read `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/failed-jobs.json` and
-   `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/failed-logs.txt`, which are already on disk. Load only skills required to
-   fix the actual cause. Run these verification commands before a push. Do not weaken a test,
-   disable a check, or push an unverified guess.
-
-   **Empty failure evidence is not a reason to ask for review.** If `failed-jobs.json` is `[]`
-   or the logs say they were unavailable, then no CI run judged this head. That is the normal
-   state of a conflicting pull request: GitHub cannot build `refs/pull/N/merge` while the
-   conflict lasts, so no `pull_request` CI can run on it and there is nothing to read. The
-   conflict is the failure to fix. Resolve it as described above, push, and select
-   `remediated`; CI runs on the result and the next cycle gets a real verdict. Select `review`
-   for missing evidence only when `has_conflicts` is `false`, because then there is genuinely
-   nothing to act on.
-
-   **Scoped verification.** The commands below are the full suite. This runner has limited
-   memory, and a whole-repo lint or build can be killed mid-run. Scope verification to the
-   files you actually changed first, and only escalate to the full suite when the scoped run
-   passes and you are still unsure:
-   - Lint/format (biome, eslint, prettier, ruff, etc.): pass the changed file paths as
-     arguments so the tool checks only those files (e.g. `pnpm exec biome check <files>`),
-     never the whole repository.
-   - Build: prefer building only the project(s) containing the changed files; use the full
-     solution build only when the change crosses project boundaries.
-   - Tests: run the test project covering the changed files; run the full suite only when
-     the change is cross-cutting.
-   If verification of exactly the CI-failing job is what you need, reproduce just that job's
-   command, not the entire pipeline.
-
-   A PR that already contains protected files still requires remediation. You may include those
-   files in the verified repair push, but the next green-CI cycle will require human review and
-   must not auto-merge the PR.
-
-   **If `has_conflicts` is `true` (current value: `${{ needs.reserve.outputs.has_conflicts }}`):** You are already on the PR branch. Resolve the conflict;
-   it is not a reason to hand the PR to a human. Merge `origin/${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}`
-   into the current branch, resolve every conflict deliberately, stage the resolutions, and
-   commit the merge. Then run verification and push the resulting branch update. Do not use
-   `--ours`, `--theirs`, or a blanket conflict-marker deletion without reviewing the intended
-   behavior from both sides.
-
-   ```
-   ${{ env.VERIFY_COMMANDS }}
-   ```
-
-    Propose `push_to_pull_request_branch` (pr_number: ${{ needs.subject.outputs.pr }}, branch:
-    the current PR branch), then select the `remediated` verdict. CI will run again and trigger
-    you again with the new result.
-
-    Before pushing, run the project's lint fix command (e.g. `pnpm lint:fix` or
-    `pnpm exec biome check --write <changed-files>`) to auto-format. If lint:fix is not
-    available, fix formatting manually. Never push code with lint errors.
-
-   If you cannot fix it after a concrete repair attempt, or the logs show you have already tried on this same head commit,
-   stop looping: select the `review` verdict and explain the failure and what you tried. A human
-   decides from there.
-
-7. Decide the verdict based on the assessment table:
-
-   - **All checks ✅ → `merge`.** The PR is safe to merge. CI is green, no risk indicators
-     triggered, tests are intact, scope matches, mergeability is clean.
-   - **Any check ⚠️ or ❌ (except CI failure) → `review`.** Do not merge. Explain exactly which
-     check tripped, why, and what a reviewer should look at. Leave `implement` in place: the
-     work is not finished until a human merges it.
-   - **CI failed and you fixed it → `remediated`.** You pushed a verified fix and CI will
-     re-run.
-   - **CI failed and you cannot fix it → `review`.** Explain the failure and what you tried.
-
-   Never merge with administrator privileges and never bypass a required check. If the merge
-   is refused, that refusal is the answer: select `review` and leave it for a human.
-
-8. Emit exactly one `add_comment` targeting issue `${{ needs.subject.outputs.issue }}` with:
-   1. `${{ env.GATE_MARKER }}`
-   2. A heading: `## Merge gate decision for PR #${{ needs.subject.outputs.pr }}`
-   3. A structured assessment table with all 10 check results
-   4. A one-line detail per check (what was found and why it passed or flagged)
-   5. A line `**Verdict:** merge`, `**Verdict:** review`, or `**Verdict:** remediated`
-
-   The workflow applies comments, labels, merges, and closures with the App token. Do not call
-   any tools except the one optional `push_to_pull_request_branch` for a verified CI repair
-   and this one `add_comment`.
-
-   Format the checks as a table with status indicators:
-
-   ```
-   ### Assessment
-
-   #	Check	Result
-   1	CI Status	✅ Success / ❌ Failure: [job name] / ⚠️ Action required
-   2	Auth & Security	✅ No changes / ⚠️ Touched: [area]
-   3	API & Contracts	✅ No changes / ⚠️ Changed: [area]
-   4	Tests	✅ Not weakened / ⚠️ Weakened: [file]
-   5	CI/CD & Workflow	✅ No changes / ⚠️ Changed: [file]
-   6	Protected files	✅ None touched / ❌ Touched: [file]
-   7	Scope	✅ Appropriately scoped / ⚠️ [too large/small: reason]
-   8	Risk indicators	✅ None triggered / ⚠️ Triggered: [indicator]
-   9	Mergeability	✅ Clean / ⚠️ Conflicts
-   10	Confidence	✅ High / ⚠️ Low: [reason]
-   ```
-
-   Then a line `**Verdict:** merge` / `**Verdict:** review` / `**Verdict:** remediated`
-
-9. Ignore the `## Diagram` section below. It is documentation for humans and contains no

+  Decides what happens to a bot-authored pull request once CI has reported: merge when the
+  risk assessment is clean, hand to a human when it is not, fix CI when it failed. Called by
+  the Work Router; does not trigger on public events.
+
+  The router supplies the CI conclusion and run ID as facts, so there is no polling and no
+  timeout branch. The conclusion is read from the inputs instead of filtered at the trigger.

+timeout-minutes: 120
+---
+
+1. You are gating pull request **#${{ needs.subject.outputs.pr }}**, which closes issue
+   **#${{ needs.subject.outputs.issue }}**. CI concluded
+   **${{ needs.subject.outputs.conclusion }}**.
+
+   It has already been confirmed that this is an open pull request we authored, that it closes
+   an issue, and that the issue carries `implement`. Do not re-check any of that, and do not
+   poll for checks: the conclusion above is the answer.
+
+   You are on the pull request branch. Never rebase, reset, amend or otherwise rewrite
+   history: the workflow applies your commits as a bundle with a fast-forward-only push and
+   discards anything that is not a descendant of the branch tip. The
+   `push_to_pull_request_branch` tool's own description recommends rebasing; in this
+   repository that advice is wrong. Merge, commit, and let the workflow push.
+
+2. Read `${{ env.ISSUE_CONTEXT_PATH }}`. It contains the issue body and its discussion. When
+   running `/repo-verify`, the acceptance criteria there define what the implementation must
+   satisfy.
+
+3. Branch on the conclusion.
+
+   First check the issue context for `<!-- complexity: trivial -->`.
+
+   **If the trivial marker is present AND CI conclusion is success:**
+   Skip the full assessment (step 5). Emit a minimal assessment table with all checks marked
+   ✅ and the note "Trivial change, CI green — deep risk review skipped." Then proceed directly
+   to step 8 (merge verdict).
+
+   **If the trivial marker is absent OR CI is not success:**
+   Follow the normal branching below.
+
+   - **success** → step 4, then step 5 (full assessment).
+    - **action_required** → CI did not run because the workflow needs approval.
+      Emit the assessment table with ❌ on CI Status and note that a maintainer must approve
+      the pending run. Select the `review` verdict.
+    - **failure** → step 4, then step 6 (CI remediation).
+     - **cancelled, timed_out, or anything else** → Emit the assessment table with ❌ on CI
+      Status and select the `review` verdict. A cancelled or unknown run is not evidence of
+      anything.
+
+     Follow repository documentation and established conventions when assessing or remediating
+     the pull request. Protect secrets, do not bypass checks, and keep remediation focused.
+     Adhere to ${{ env.REPO_RULES }}.
+
+4. Read the diff and PR metadata. Read `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/diff.patch` in full and
+   `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/pr.json` for the shape of the change. If CI failed, also read
+   `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/failed-jobs.json` and `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/failed-logs.txt`.
+
+    These files are the factual basis for every check below. Do not guess — cite what you read.
+
+4b. **Merge conflict when CI is green.** If the conclusion is `success` and
+    `has_conflicts` is `true` (current value: `${{ needs.reserve.outputs.has_conflicts }}`),
+    resolve the conflict before assessing risk. You are already on the PR branch.
+    Merge `origin/${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}` into it
+    (`git merge origin/${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}`), resolve every
+    conflict deliberately, commit the merge, and run the verification commands below. Do not
+    use `--ours`, `--theirs`, or a blanket conflict-marker deletion without reviewing the
+    intended behavior from both sides, and never rebase: the push is fast-forward only.
+
+    Scope verification to the files the merge touched: pass changed file paths to
+    lint/format tools instead of running them repository-wide (see step 6's scoped
+    verification guidance).
+
+    ```
+    ${{ env.VERIFY_COMMANDS }}
+    ```
+
+    Push the merged branch using `push_to_pull_request_branch` (pr_number: ${{ needs.subject.outputs.pr }},
+    branch: the current PR branch), then emit the `add_comment` with
+    **Verdict:** remediated. CI will re-run on the updated branch and the merge gate
+    will be triggered again — the next cycle will see a clean, conflict-free PR and can
+    make a proper merge or review decision.
+
+    If the merge cannot be completed or the conflicts are genuinely ambiguous, select the `review`
+    verdict instead and explain which conflicts could not be resolved safely.
+
+    If the conclusion is `success` and `has_conflicts` is `false`, skip this step and
+    proceed to step 5.
+
+5. Run each of these 10 checks. For each, determine a status and a short detail line.
+
+   **Check 1 — CI Status.** What did CI conclude? Success means all required checks passed.
+   Failure means at least one job failed. Action required means a workflow needs approval.
+   Flag any non-success conclusion.
+
+   **Check 2 — Auth & Security.** Does the diff touch authentication, authorization, secrets,
+   credentials, or security boundaries? Flag any change to auth middleware, permission checks,
+   token issuance, or security-related config.
+
+   **Check 3 — API & Contracts.** Does the diff change a public API or a published package's
+   contract? Flag changes to endpoint signatures, DTO shapes, exported interfaces, or
+   serialization formats that could break consumers.
+
+   **Check 4 — Tests.** Does the diff delete, weaken, or lower a threshold in a test? Flag
+   removed assertions, skipped tests, lowered coverage bars, or deleted test files.
+
+   **Check 5 — CI/CD & Workflow files.** Does the diff change CI, CD, or workflow files?
+   Flag changes to `.github/workflows/`, Dockerfiles, deployment scripts, or infrastructure
+   configuration.
+
+   **Check 6 — Protected files.** Does the diff change a protected file? This is normally
+   handled before you run, but never merge one if it reaches this gate. Flag any match against
+   the repository's protected file list.
+
+   **Check 7 — Scope.** Is the diff size consistent with what the issue implied? Compare the
+   number of files changed and lines added/removed against the complexity the issue described.
+   Flag if the diff is materially larger or smaller than expected.
+
+   **Check 8 — Repository risk indicators.** Does the diff touch any of these?
+   ${{ env.RISK_INDICATORS }}
+
+   Name the specific indicator you matched. A match is not a defect, it is a reason this
+   pull request needs a person, so do not argue it away because the change looks correct.
+
+   **Check 9 — Mergeability.** Can the PR be merged cleanly? The value is
+   `${{ needs.reserve.outputs.has_conflicts }}`. If conflicts exist, this is ❌ but not a
+   blocking verdict — proceed to remediation (step 6). If no conflicts, ✅.
+
+   **Check 10 — Confidence.** Are you confident in the merge decision? Low confidence is
+   itself a flag. If you are unsure about the impact of the change, mark ⚠️ and explain what
+   is uncertain. A human should review when confidence is low.
+
+6. **CI failed** → read `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/failed-jobs.json` and
+   `/tmp/gh-aw/agent/failed-logs.txt`, which are already on disk. Load only skills required to
+   fix the actual cause. Run these verification commands before a push. Do not weaken a test,
+   disable a check, or push an unverified guess.
+
+   **Empty failure evidence is not a reason to ask for review.** If `failed-jobs.json` is `[]`
+   or the logs say they were unavailable, then no CI run judged this head. That is the normal
+   state of a conflicting pull request: GitHub cannot build `refs/pull/N/merge` while the
+   conflict lasts, so no `pull_request` CI can run on it and there is nothing to read. The
+   conflict is the failure to fix. Resolve it as described above, push, and select
+   `remediated`; CI runs on the result and the next cycle gets a real verdict. Select `review`
+   for missing evidence only when `has_conflicts` is `false`, because then there is genuinely
+   nothing to act on.
+
+   **Scoped verification.** The commands below are the full suite. This runner has limited
+   memory, and a whole-repo lint or build can be killed mid-run. Scope verification to the
+   files you actually changed first, and only escalate to the full suite when the scoped run
+   passes and you are still unsure:
+   - Lint/format (biome, eslint, prettier, ruff, etc.): pass the changed file paths as
+     arguments so the tool checks only those files (e.g. `pnpm exec biome check <files>`),
+     never the whole repository.
+   - Build: prefer building only the project(s) containing the changed files; use the full
+     solution build only when the change crosses project boundaries.
+   - Tests: run the test project covering the changed files; run the full suite only when
+     the change is cross-cutting.
+   If verification of exactly the CI-failing job is what you need, reproduce just that job's
+   command, not the entire pipeline.
+
+   A PR that already contains protected files still requires remediation. You may include those
+   files in the verified repair push, but the next green-CI cycle will require human review and
+   must not auto-merge the PR.
+
+   **If `has_conflicts` is `true` (current value: `${{ needs.reserve.outputs.has_conflicts }}`):** You are already on the PR branch. Resolve the conflict;
+   it is not a reason to hand the PR to a human. Merge `origin/${{ github.event.repository.default_branch }}`
+   into the current branch, resolve every conflict deliberately, stage the resolutions, and
+   commit the merge. Then run verification and push the resulting branch update. Do not use
+   `--ours`, `--theirs`, or a blanket conflict-marker deletion without reviewing the intended
+   behavior from both sides.
+
+   ```
+   ${{ env.VERIFY_COMMANDS }}
+   ```
+
+    Propose `push_to_pull_request_branch` (pr_number: ${{ needs.subject.outputs.pr }}, branch:
+    the current PR branch), then select the `remediated` verdict. CI will run again and trigger
+    you again with the new result.
+
+   If you cannot fix it after a concrete repair attempt, or the logs show you have already tried on this same head commit,
+   stop looping: select the `review` verdict and explain the failure and what you tried. A human
+   decides from there.
+
+7. Decide the verdict based on the assessment table:
+
+   - **All checks ✅ → `merge`.** The PR is safe to merge. CI is green, no risk indicators
+     triggered, tests are intact, scope matches, mergeability is clean.
+   - **Any check ⚠️ or ❌ (except CI failure) → `review`.** Do not merge. Explain exactly which
+     check tripped, why, and what a reviewer should look at. Leave `implement` in place: the
+     work is not finished until a human merges it.
+   - **CI failed and you fixed it → `remediated`.** You pushed a verified fix and CI will
+     re-run.
+   - **CI failed and you cannot fix it → `review`.** Explain the failure and what you tried.
+
+   Never merge with administrator privileges and never bypass a required check. If the merge
+   is refused, that refusal is the answer: select `review` and leave it for a human.
+
+8. Emit exactly one `add_comment` targeting issue `${{ needs.subject.outputs.issue }}` with:
+   1. `${{ env.GATE_MARKER }}`
+   2. A heading: `## Merge gate decision for PR #${{ needs.subject.outputs.pr }}`
+   3. A structured assessment table with all 10 check results
+   4. A one-line detail per check (what was found and why it passed or flagged)
+   5. A line `**Verdict:** merge`, `**Verdict:** review`, or `**Verdict:** remediated`
+
+   The workflow applies comments, labels, merges, and closures with the App token. Do not call
+   any tools except the one optional `push_to_pull_request_branch` for a verified CI repair
+   and this one `add_comment`.
+
+   Format the checks as a table with status indicators:
+
+   ```
+   ### Assessment
+
+   #	Check	Result
+   1	CI Status	✅ Success / ❌ Failure: [job name] / ⚠️ Action required
+   2	Auth & Security	✅ No changes / ⚠️ Touched: [area]
+   3	API & Contracts	✅ No changes / ⚠️ Changed: [area]
+   4	Tests	✅ Not weakened / ⚠️ Weakened: [file]
+   5	CI/CD & Workflow	✅ No changes / ⚠️ Changed: [file]
+   6	Protected files	✅ None touched / ❌ Touched: [file]
+   7	Scope	✅ Appropriately scoped / ⚠️ [too large/small: reason]
+   8	Risk indicators	✅ None triggered / ⚠️ Triggered: [indicator]
+   9	Mergeability	✅ Clean / ⚠️ Conflicts
+   10	Confidence	✅ High / ⚠️ Low: [reason]
+   ```
+
+   Then a line `**Verdict:** merge` / `**Verdict:** review` / `**Verdict:** remediated`
+
