 ## Branch Protection & Review Policy
 
-The following rules apply to all repositories in this organization:
-
-### Branch Protection Rules (Enabled on `main` branch)
+### Enforced Rules on `main` branch
 - ✅ Require Pull Request for merge
 - ✅ Require 1 approval
 - ✅ Dismiss stale approvals on new commits
-- ✅ Require CI to pass (where CI is configured)
+- ⚠️ Require CI to pass (CI runner pending)
 - ✅ Block force pushes
 - ✅ Block branch deletion
 
-### Default Reviewer
-- @perplexity is automatically requested on all PRs
-- @Timmy is required reviewer for hermes-agent
+### Reviewer Requirements
+- Mandatory reviewer: `@perplexity` for all repos
+- Mandatory reviewer: `@Timmy` for `hermes-agent/`
+- Optional: Add repo-specific owners for specialized areas
 
-### Enforcement Status
+### Implementation Status
 - ✅ hermes-agent: All protections enabled
 - ✅ the-nexus: PR + 1 approval enforced
 - ✅ timmy-home: PR + 1 approval enforced
 - ✅ timmy-config: PR + 1 approval enforced
 
-> These protections are configured in Gitea's branch protection settings. CI enforcement is pending runner restoration (#915).
