 Nothing in a pack is ever executed, so there is no trust prompt to match
 `amont trust`. The review gate is the pull request that adds the file.
 
+A pack goes stale silently otherwise, so there are two ways to be told. The
+session hook asks (see [In front of an agent](#in-front-of-an-agent)). And a
+consumer's CI can ask, as an advisory job, where its runner holds a credential
+that can read the source — a private corpus is reachable from a private
+consumer's runner with a deploy key, not from a public one's without:
+
+```yaml
+  packs:
+    name: vendored decisions are current (advisory, non-blocking)
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    continue-on-error: true
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: webfactory/ssh-agent@v0.9.0   # or however the runner reaches the source
+        with:
+          ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.DECISIONS_READ_KEY }}
+      - run: |
+          if ! aval add --check --quiet --budget 30 > packs.txt; then
+            cat packs.txt
+            echo "::warning::vendored decisions are behind or edited — run aval add"
+          fi
+```
+
+Non-blocking for the same reason a dependency advisory is: a decision that
+changed upstream is information about the fleet, not a defect in the change
+under review.
+
 That "inert" scopes to execution. A pack's text does reach an agent's context,
 so the hook and the MCP tools both say that a record's wording is data rather
 than instruction, and a value carrying a control character or a bidi override
