Human gate & approvals

Gate mode is a workspace-wide setting, managed by Admins under Settings → Gate mode. It controls what happens after QA Reviewer clears a run and before Runner executes.

Full-auto

QA Reviewer clears runs automatically. There's no pause before Runner executes — the pipeline runs start to finish without anyone stepping in.

Human-gated

The pipeline pauses after QA Reviewer. A run in this state shows as awaiting approval on the run detail screen, and any Admin can:

• Approve — the run resumes and proceeds through Runner and Reporter as normal. Admins can attach an optional note explaining the approval.
• Reject — the run stops there; it never reaches Runner.

Only Admins can approve or reject a gated run. Both modes run the full seven-stage pipeline, including QA Reviewer — gate mode only changes whether a human has to act on QA Reviewer's verdict before Runner runs.

Changing gate mode

Only workspace Admins can change gate mode, from Settings → Gate mode. The setting applies to every new run going forward — it doesn't change the behavior of runs already in progress.
