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.
