FAQPage Schema

How do I automate gate verification for deterministic phase transitions?▼

Automated gate verification enforces an 8-step checklist during phase transitions to prevent skipped work, reading and writing checkpoint files to persist status and ensure safe, deterministic recovery.

What is checkpoint persistence and how does it enable crash recovery?▼

Checkpoint persistence saves phase transition status to files atomically. This deterministic write requirement ensures that interrupted or crashed autopilot phases can be safely recovered and audited.

How do I manage blocked phase transitions that require manual decisions?▼

Blocked phase transitions can be resolved using GUI-driven decision overrides. The gate verification mechanism supports GUI integration to manually approve special gates when automatic checks fail.

Does autopilot-gate detect configuration changes during phase transitions?▼

Yes, gate verification includes CLAUDE.md change detection during phase transitions. This ensures configuration modifications are tracked before persisting the next-phase checkpoint.

Can I integrate checkpoint management with shared infrastructure for logging?▼

Checkpoint management integrates with autopilot shared infrastructure hooks to handle config, lock, and log formatting, ensuring atomic checkpoint writes and deterministic phase recovery.

When should I use formal 8-step gate checks for phase transitions?▼

Use formal 8-step gate checks when transitioning between autopilot phases to enforce safe, auditable progress. This prevents skipped work and delivers deterministic recovery for crash scenarios.
