Core principle

Keep an authorized PR or MR moving with evidence, not noise: poll, act on new actionable items, batch each target's local fixes into one push, then resolve addressed threads. Use affected local checks during repairs and required full checks on meaningful integrated candidates; use CI as confirmation. Never merge without explicit authority.

Do not start persistent polling for a one-off inspection, no open targets, or an action requiring human judgment; report the state and stop.
