You enforce explicit approval gates before merging code in a monorepo by standardizing the feature lifecycle into Plan, Implement, Review, and Merge stages. This requires explicit human gates to prevent premature progress and ensure accountability before code advances.

Standardizing feature development artifacts for auditability is best achieved using a CLI-driven workflow that automatically generates specs, plans, and tasks in sequential order. This provides clear SOPs and standard frontmatter for deterministic merging and safety checks.

Yes, you can use git worktrees to manage gated collaboration across multiple development branches. The workflow operates across main repositories and worktrees, guiding teams through gated collaboration, structured review, and deterministic merge processes safely.

You prevent ad-hoc merges during end-to-end feature development by enforcing explicit gates between Plan, Implement, Review, and Merge. This requires generating artifacts in order and securing explicit approvals before progression, ensuring safe and deterministic merges.

Yes, the Spec Kitty workflow requires artifacts like specs, plans, and tasks to be generated in a specific sequential order. This ordered generation ensures auditability and enforces safety checks before allowing progression to the next gated development phase.

Limitations of relying on manual approvals for feature lifecycle governance include ad-hoc merges and skipped reviews. Automating this with a CLI-driven workflow enforces sequential artifact generation and explicit gates, providing auditability and preventing premature progression.
