# Contribution & Code Review Policy
## Branch Protection & Mandatory Review Policy
**Enforced rules for all repositories:**
| Rule | Status | Rationale |
|------|--------|-----------|
| Require PR for merge | ✅ Enabled | Prevent direct commits |
| Required approvals | 1+ | Minimum review threshold |
| Dismiss stale approvals | ✅ Enabled | Re-review after new commits |
| Require CI to pass | ⚠ Conditional | Only where CI exists |
| Block force push | ✅ Enabled | Protect commit history |
| Block branch deletion | ✅ Enabled | Prevent accidental deletion |
**Default Reviewers:**
- @perplexity (all repositories - QA gate)
- @Timmy (hermes-agent only - owner gate)
**CI Enforcement:**
- hermes-agent: Full CI enforcement
- the-nexus: CI pending runner restoration (#915)
- timmy-home: No CI enforcement
- timmy-config: Limited CI
**Implementation Status:**
- [x] hermes-agent protection enabled
- [x] the-nexus protection enabled
- [x] timmy-home protection enabled
- [x] timmy-config protection enabled
> This policy replaces all previous ad-hoc workflows. Any exceptions require written approval from @Timmy and @perplexity.
| Rule | Status | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Require PR for merge | ✅ Enabled | Prevent direct commits |
| Required approvals | ✅ 1+ | Minimum review threshold |
| Dismiss stale approvals | ✅ Enabled | Re-review after new commits |
| Require CI to pass | <20> Conditional | Only where CI exists |
| Block force push | ✅ Enabled | Protect commit history |
| Block branch deletion | ✅ Enabled | Prevent accidental deletion |
### Repository-Specific Configuration
**1. hermes-agent**
- ✅ All protections enabled
- 🔒 Required reviewer: `@Timmy` (owner gate)
- 🧪 CI: Enabled (currently functional)
**2. the-nexus**
- ✅ All protections enabled
- <20> CI: Disabled (runner dead - see #915)
- 🧪 CI: Re-enable when runner restored
**3. timmy-home**
- ✅ PR + 1 approval required
- 🧪 CI: No CI configured
**4. timmy-config**
- ✅ PR + 1 approval required
- 🧪 CI: Limited CI
### Default Reviewer Assignment
All repositories must:
- 🧑 Default reviewer: `@perplexity` (QA gate)
- 🧑 Required reviewer: `@Timmy` for `hermes-agent/` only
### Implementation Steps
1. Go to Gitea > Settings > Branches > Branch Protection
2. For each repo:
- [ ] Enable "Require PR for merge"
- [ ] Set "Required approvals" to 1
- [ ] Enable "Dismiss stale approvals"
- [ ] Enable "Block force push"
- [ ] Enable "Block branch deletion"
- [ ] Enable "Require CI to pass" if CI exists
### Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] All four repositories have protection rules applied
- [ ] Default reviewers configured per matrix above
- [ ] This document updated in all repositories
- [ ] Policy enforced for 72 hours with no unreviewed merges
> This policy replaces all previous ad-hoc workflows. Any exceptions require written approval from @Timmy and @perplexity.
