ADR-008: Human Approval Mandatory

Status: Accepted
Date: 2026-07-05
Deciders: Platform Architecture, Product
Last updated: 2026-07-05


Context

Automated promotion from benchmark pass to production creates unaccountable AI behavior changes.


Decision

No AI asset (prompt version, model pin, capability definition) reaches production without explicit human approval recorded in the acceptance workflow (PRD-000 Acceptance Lab or authorized CLI with audit).


Consequences

Positive: Accountability, compliance-friendly audit, safe iteration.
Negative: Slower promotion — accepted tradeoff.
