PR-level quality gates before merge (use sanctum:pr-prep)
Purpose
Standardize release approvals by expressing gates as GitHub-aware checklists. Ensure code, docs, comms, and observability items are green before deployment.
Gate Categories
Scope & Risk – Are all blocking issues closed or deferred with owners?
Quality Signals – Are required checks, tests, and soak times satisfied?
Comms & Docs – Are docs merged and release notes posted?
Operations – Are runbooks, oncall sign-off, and rollback plans ready?
