Workflow gates and lifecycle transitions are enforced by validating documented prerequisites across planning, design, specification, development, and release stages to determine whether to advance, halt, or require human approval before progressing.

A lifecycle gate check validates stage transitions against documented prerequisites. Human approval is required when scope changes occur or when an emergency brake is triggered, ensuring traceable decisions and preventing premature progression.

Workflow gate overrides are supported by recording a reason for the transition. All transitions, including overrides and approvals, are logged to preserve auditability and ensure governance across the entire feature lifecycle.

You can validate your current feature's lifecycle stage by asking the agent to check it against allowed transitions. The system applies gate checks to determine if the feature should advance, halt, or require approval.

Stage transition enforcement works across planning, design, specification, development, and release phases. It applies gate checks at each phase to prevent premature progression and maintain auditable lifecycle decisions.
