Live observe-only iteration

A clear review boundary for delivery work.

Gate is live for feedback as an observe-only policy surface: it evaluates delivery signals against your rules and shows where high-risk changes need review.

Route policy decisions clearly

Gate evaluates simulated changes against policy rules and shows where high-risk scenarios should be reviewed. It is not yet a mandatory deployment control point.

Run Policy Review

Send a simulated high-risk change into the decision surface and watch Gate show the review boundary.

Review, not action.

Gate evaluates signals against your defined rules. It does not execute runtime changes or enforce CI/CD; it manages policy decisions and approval surfaces.

Policy Definition

Review boundaries.

Define policies that matter. Route high-risk changes, such as production deployments or critical infrastructure updates, to explicit human authorization.

rule: production_protection_v3
Evaluation Engine

Live signal matching.

Gate maps incoming change signals to your policy rules, determining risk level and recommended action from explicit criteria. In this public iteration it remains observe-only.

Decision Surface

The review surface.

Any change flagged for intervention stages here. You receive a unified view to record APPROVE or REJECT decisions before acting elsewhere.

Policy Evidence

Traceable decisions. Reviewable context.

Gate surfaces which policy matched, the evaluated risk level, and the recommended decision state. Runtime enforcement is not claimed in this iteration.

FAQ

Answers to real objections.

Hard facts about the Gate decision layer.

Can Gate override my workflow?

Gate does not override your workflow. It evaluates change signals against policies and surfaces review-required transitions for human decision.

Does Gate access my code?

No. Gate only processes metadata, configuration diffs, and pull request states strictly needed for policy evaluation. Source code is never persisted or executed within the Gate environment.

What happens if rules are wrong?

Gate evaluates explicit rules. If a rule produces a false positive, the decision can be reviewed by a human and the policy match logic can be corrected from the decision context.

Can Gate be the only control point?

No. Gate is a decision and review surface today; critical-path enforcement depends on how you wire it into CI/CD and repository protections.
