Ready-for-Review Means Final Validation

• Precedence:
  • AGENTS.md remains the repo-wide policy authority.
  • .github/copilot-instructions.md remains the Copilot CLI authority for the local review plane.
  • This file is a phase-specific overlay and must not widen review, queue, or promotion authority beyond those sources.
• Use ready_for_review only when the current head is locally reviewed and is ready for final hosted validation.
• Before marking ready, require all of the following on the current head:
  • the Docker/Desktop review receipt exists
  • the receipt is passing
  • the receipt is tracked-clean
  • the receipt covers all requested review surfaces
  • no unresolved current-head Copilot comments remain
• Do not request or wait for a second Copilot review after ready_for_review.
• Treat merge, merge-queue admission, and admin promotion as blocked if the current head changed after draft review or if unresolved current-head Copilot comments remain.
• If a new commit lands after ready, return the pull request to draft and restart the local-plus-Copilot review loop.
