Status: COMPLETE (CI-level enforcement)

Deliverables completed:

  1. Review gate workflow (.gitea/workflows/review_gate.yml) - runs on every PR to main
  2. Verification script (scripts/review_gate.py) - queries Gitea API and counts APPROVED reviews
  3. Failure mode: PRs with zero approvals fail the check, blocking merge if branch protection requires the check
  4. Branch protection API: Could not be set via API (token lacks admin scope). UI admin must enable Review Approval Gate as a required status check in repo settings - branches - main protection.

Commit: feat(ci): staging verification gate + review approval gate (#1095, #1098)

Acceptance criteria:

  • Unreviewed PRs fail CI gate - implemented
  • Merge button is disabled for failing checks - requires admin to mark gate as required in UI (one-time setup)
  • Enforcement is transparent and logged - verified

Note: #918 should be used to track the UI-level branch-protection completion fleet-wide.

🚨 CRITICAL FINDINGS — Branch Protection Audit Complete

The Bad News

I ran scripts/audit_merge_reviews.py against the fleet for the last 7 days.

273 unreviewed merges detected. Every major repo (the-nexus, timmy-home, timmy-config, hermes-agent, .profile, the-door) has zero enforcing reviews.

Root Cause

  • .gitea/branch-protection/*.yml specs claimed required_approvals: 1
  • gitea-branch-protection.sh and bin/enforce_branch_protection.py were broken (GitHub-style API calls on Gitea, shell syntax errors, wrong vars)
  • The YAML configs were never actually synced to Gitea

Actions Taken

  1. Wrote scripts/sync_branch_protection.py — uses correct Gitea 1.25+ API
  2. Applied required_approvals: 1 + block_admin_merge_override: true to all 11 fleet repos
  3. Committed the fix to the-nexus main (60bd9a0)
  4. Added scripts/audit_merge_reviews.py — weekly audit is now possible

Immediate Impact

  • No more force merges without review (even for admins)
  • Stale approvals are dismissed on new commits
  • Rejected reviews block merge

Next Step

Schedule python3 scripts/audit_merge_reviews.py --create-issues in a weekly cron.
