Add a missing gate: typecheck, lint, or a coverage floor
A check the team runs locally and the pipeline does not, added so it stops being optional.
The ticket
Add a missing verification gate to the pipeline.
Acceptance criteria
- The gate runs on every pull request
- A deliberately seeded violation fails the build
- Existing violations are fixed before the gate is enforced
- The gate runs early enough to fail fast
What lands as proof
A seeded violation failing the build, which is what makes it a gate rather than a report.
Why teams defer it
- Turning it on with existing violations blocks everybody, so the cleanup has to come first.
- It edits pipeline files, which stops the run for a human to approve by design.
Questions
- What does the agent actually change?
- The ticket is scoped to one outcome: add a missing verification gate to the pipeline. Work that serves that outcome is in scope, and anything outside it is left for a separate ticket, so the pull request stays reviewable.
- How do I know the work is done?
- The pull request carries the evidence, not only the diff. Here that means approved on the plan, then the gate fails on a seeded violation, so a reviewer can confirm the result without reproducing the work locally.
- How much oversight does this need?
- The run stops for the plan, and the review bar is raised afterwards so that smaller suggestions block the merge too, not only serious findings.
