What is branch diff analysis and how does it identify gating concerns?▼

Branch diff analysis compares your current branch against origin/main to identify policy violations and structural issues. It fetches the diff, applies a two-pass checklist evaluation, and outputs a structured report of critical findings that could block your ship gate.

How do I run an automated gate check on my Git branch before landing a PR?▼

Run the branch review workflow on your active branch to produce a diff-based gate report. The process fetches origin/main diffs, applies a pre-defined checklist to detect issues, and outputs both critical and informational findings for your PR.

Can I suppress specific PR review findings generated by the branch diff analysis?▼
