docs(agents): replace the retired human promotion gate with self-promotion on readiness - #421
Conversation
…otion on readiness The maintenance section still told agents that a maintainer promotes drafts and that external PRs are never merged. Both rules were retired: drafts are self-promoted once tested, reviewed at head and tried as a user, and every PR is driven to a terminal state while external branches are never run locally. The trusted-author list now matches the shared contract. Part of devantler-tech/monorepo#2534 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The README's Agent-ready bullet still called the maintainer the Daily AI Assistant, which AGENTS.md now names the Agentic Engineer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- CodeRabbit: "Review rate limited" at 16:49Z; this repository's hourly review was used at 16:43Z for the previous head, whose one finding is fixed in this commit.
- Codex: usage limit reached, reply at 16:51Z.
- Cursor Bugbot: usage limit reached, check ended with an error at 16:54Z.
Scope: the ## Maintenance paragraph of AGENTS.md, the one-line body of .claude/skills/maintain/SKILL.md, and the README's Agent-ready bullet (added in 6c91030a to fix CodeRabbit's finding at c1abf939). The merge from main adds #423's changes, which were reviewed and merged separately.
- Correctness against the shared contract: both texts now match the current rules. Drafts are self-promoted once tested, reviewed at the current head and tried as a user. Every PR, whoever opened it, reaches a terminal state. An outside contributor's branch is reviewed statically and never run locally. The trusted-author list matches the shared contract exactly:
devantler,ksail-bot,dependabot[bot],github-actions[bot],renovate[bot]. The retiredclaude/*branch entry is gone. The canonical disclosure prefix is the current one, and both legacy prefixes stay recognised. - Consistency: the skill line points back to the same section and no longer states the retired "never merge external PRs" rule, so the two files cannot disagree.
- Security: instruction text only. It narrows nothing and widens no execution rights: never running an outside contributor's branch locally stays explicit.
- Out of scope, already tracked: the earlier
AGENTS.mdsentence claiming a ruleset injectsrun-dotnet-testsis stale, but this PR does not touch it. It is tracked as #424.
Verdict: no P0/P1 findings

Why
This template's agent instructions still say a maintainer must promote every draft and that outside contributions are never merged. Both rules were retired portfolio-wide. Every repository created from this template inherits the stale text, so agents there would park finished work waiting for a promotion that is no longer coming.
What
Updates the maintenance guidance and the maintain skill to the current rule: agents self-promote a draft once it is tested, reviewed and tried as a user, then drive it to merge. Every PR reaches a terminal state, and an outside contributor's code is still never run locally. The trusted-author list matches the shared contract, and the legacy disclosure prefixes stay recognised.
