181
+ - [ ] Test coverage <80% (BLOCKER)
182
+ - [ ] Breaking changes undocumented (BLOCKER)
183
+ - [ ] Migration guides missing for breaking changes (BLOCKER)
184
+ - [ ] Rollback plan untested (BLOCKER)
185
+ - [ ] Required approvals missing (BLOCKER)
186
+ - [ ] Version bump doesn't match semantic versioning (BLOCKER)

189
+ - [ ] Consumers not notified of breaking changes (HIGH RISK)
190
+
