merge-readiness

Delegated continuation

A covering standing mandate permits the outer delivery workflow to invoke this assessment autonomously. After READY and confirmed synchronization, it may execute a separately granted merge effect for the exact saved head/base preview, after checking authorize-effect and rereading all current gates. Do not ask again for an effect already covered. This assessment's own workers remain read-only; the outer workflow owns merge and its readback. Without a merge grant, request that specific authority as described below.

Check one existing pull request at a human's request, near the merge decision. Report its current readiness; do not merge it. Read the acceptance contract protocol and the repository's review and merge rules. PROVEN and REVIEWED are evidence for a candidate, not repository approval or permanent PR status.
