Antique

• ownersOne approval from the path’s owners on every change.
• no-open-findingsNothing lands while an Important or security finding is open.
• checksRequired checks pass on the head, and again on the merge result in the queue.

Always

• An approval made with an agent credential is advisory and fills no slot.
• The author and hand-pushers never count, except by approving as responsible.
• A responsible human fills at most one slot per clause, never both slots of a two-person clause.
• Approvals count only on the current head, or across rebase-only rounds.
• Changes requested by anyone eligible for a clause blocks that clause.
• Rules, REVIEW.md and OWNERS are read from the base, never from the change.
• A change to the rules or to OWNERS is a sensitive path and needs a repository admin.
