Resolve review gate for blocked master PR queue

[ExplodingUFO]

Context

The current master PR queue is implementation-complete and CI-green, but it cannot advance because the active repository ruleset requires a human approving review.

Current affected PRs targeting master:

• Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200 feature/phase-538-eraser-feasibility
• Align serialization docs with schema version 6 #261 docs/issue-260-serialization-schema-6
• Align Chinese Project Status support boundary summary #263 docs/issue-262-zh-status-support-boundary
• Tighten PR template traceability #265 docs/issue-264-pr-template-traceability
• Tighten feature request template traceability #267 docs/issue-266-feature-request-template
• Tighten bug report template traceability #269 docs/issue-268-bug-report-template
• Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271 docs/issue-270-review-gated-pr-queue

Latest queue check on 2026-05-14:

• Each listed PR is MERGEABLE.
• Each listed PR has mergeStateStatus=BLOCKED and reviewDecision=REVIEW_REQUIRED.
• Each listed PR has no latestReviews and no reviewRequests.
• The repository branch ruleset default-main requires required_approving_review_count=1.
• bd ready --json is empty, so there is no unblocked implementation task to start from the current Beads queue.

Decision Needed

Pick and execute one explicit review-gate path:

1. Request/obtain a valid approving review for the blocked master PR queue.
2. Add an appropriate reviewer/collaborator/team so required reviews can be completed.
3. Explicitly authorize the maintainer to adjust/bypass the ruleset for tracker/docs-only PRs.

Acceptance Criteria

• A concrete review owner or ruleset decision is recorded.
• PR Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271 can be merged without violating the chosen policy, or the policy is intentionally changed and documented.
• After PR Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271 lands, the remaining master queue can be processed in safe order without starting blocked implementation work out of sequence.
• Beads status is updated so future agents do not treat this as a code task.

Non-goals

• No product code changes.
• No admin bypass unless explicitly authorized by the maintainer.
• No whiteboard implementation or stacked PR merge out of order.
• No changes to branch/ruleset policy without an explicit recorded decision.

Beads tracker: avalonia-node-map-zdc

Status: blocked until a human review owner, collaborator/team, or explicit ruleset/bypass decision is recorded. This issue does not authorize product code changes, admin bypass, or out-of-order stacked PR merges by itself.

Ruleset detail refresh on 2026-05-14:

• Active ruleset: default-main / 16284262
• Target: default branch (~DEFAULT_BRANCH, currently master)
• Pull-request rule requires required_approving_review_count=1
• required_reviewers=[], require_code_owner_review=false, require_last_push_approval=false
• bypass_actors includes a repository role bypass actor with bypass_mode=always

This confirms the queue has two possible policy paths: obtain an eligible approving review, or explicitly authorize/use the repository-role bypass path. This comment does not authorize bypass by itself.

Decision options to unblock the queue:

Recommended option: obtain or assign an eligible approving reviewer for PR #200 first, then process the rest of the master queue in order (#261, #263, #265, #267, #269, #271). This preserves the active review policy and avoids repository-rule bypass.

Alternative option: explicitly authorize repository-role bypass for the current docs/tracker queue only. If this is chosen, suggested authorization text is:

I authorize using the repository-role bypass for the current review-gated master queue (#200, #261, #263, #265, #267, #269, #271), limited to the already green PRs listed in GitHub issue #272. Do not apply this authorization to future PRs or product-code changes unless separately approved.

If bypass is authorized, safe processing order should be:

1. Recheck each PR is still MERGEABLE and CI green.
2. Merge the lowest queue blocker first: Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200.
3. Rebase/recheck and merge Align serialization docs with schema version 6 #261, Align Chinese Project Status support boundary summary #263, Tighten PR template traceability #265, Tighten feature request template traceability #267, Tighten bug report template traceability #269, Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271 in order.
4. Close/update corresponding Beads and GitHub issues.
5. Remove merged branches/worktrees only after the relevant PR is merged.
6. Re-run bd ready --json, bd status, git status, and Dolt sync.

No bypass or ruleset change is authorized until a maintainer explicitly chooses one of these paths.

中文决策提示（当前仍未授权 bypass）：

当前 master 队列 #200、#261、#263、#265、#267、#269、#271 均已 CI 绿色，阻塞原因仍只有 required approving review。仓库当前可见 collaborator 只有 ExplodingUFO，PR 作者也是 ExplodingUFO，因此不能由作者自审解锁。

可执行解锁路径：

1. 添加或指定一个合格 reviewer，并让其先 approve Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200。之后再按 Align serialization docs with schema version 6 #261 -> Align Chinese Project Status support boundary summary #263 -> Tighten PR template traceability #265 -> Tighten feature request template traceability #267 -> Tighten bug report template traceability #269 -> Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271 顺序处理。
2. 或由 maintainer 明确授权一次性 repository-role bypass，仅限上述已绿 PR 队列。

可直接回复授权文本：

我授权使用 repository-role bypass 合并当前 review-gated master 队列（#200, #261, #263, #265, #267, #269, #271），仅限 GitHub issue #272 中记录的这些已经 CI 绿色的 PR。不要把此授权用于未来 PR 或产品代码变更。

在出现 reviewer approval 或上述明确授权前，队列应继续冻结：不合并、不绕过、不启动下游实现 worktree。

Pre-merge read-only review refresh on 2026-05-14:

All currently open master PRs in the review-gated queue were checked again. Each remains REVIEW_REQUIRED / BLOCKED / MERGEABLE, with latestReviews=0 and reviewRequests=0. bd ready --json still returns [].

Low-risk queue summary:

• Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200 feature/phase-538-eraser-feasibility: docs/tests-only Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary. No runtime/API/UI behavior change. CI green.
• Align serialization docs with schema version 6 #261 docs/issue-260-serialization-schema-6: docs/tests-only serialization contract wording from schema 5 to schema 6. No serializer/schema/runtime change. CI green.
• Align Chinese Project Status support boundary summary #263 docs/issue-262-zh-status-support-boundary: docs/tests-only Chinese status support-boundary alignment. CI green.
• Tighten PR template traceability #265 docs/issue-264-pr-template-traceability: PR template-only traceability/review-gate prompts. CI green.
• Tighten feature request template traceability #267 docs/issue-266-feature-request-template: feature request template-only traceability, parallelism, screenshot, validation, and non-goal prompts. CI green.
• Tighten bug report template traceability #269 docs/issue-268-bug-report-template: bug report template-only traceability, regression scope, screenshot, blocking, and fix-verification prompts. CI green.
• Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271 docs/issue-270-review-gated-pr-queue: docs-only handoff for the review-gated queue. CI green.

No correctness or technical merge blocker was found in this read-only review pass. The remaining blocker is still governance: required approving review, or an explicit maintainer decision to use the repository-role bypass path for this already-green queue.

This comment does not authorize bypass by itself. Do not merge, admin-bypass, or start downstream implementation work until approval or explicit bypass authorization is recorded.

2026-05-14 reviewer availability refresh:

Read-only checks confirm the review-gate blocker still has no in-repo non-author reviewer path available.

• gh api repos/ExplodingUFO/AsterGraph/collaborators --paginate currently returns only ExplodingUFO.
• gh repo view ExplodingUFO/AsterGraph --json viewerPermission reports the current viewer as ADMIN.
• PR Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200 is authored by ExplodingUFO and still has latestReviews=[], reviewRequests=[], reviewDecision=REVIEW_REQUIRED, and mergeStateStatus=BLOCKED.

This means the recommended review path still requires adding/inviting an eligible non-author reviewer, or the maintainer must explicitly authorize the repository-role bypass path already described above. This comment does not authorize bypass, ruleset changes, PR merge, or downstream implementation work.

2026-05-14 downstream stack impact refresh:

The review gate on the current master queue is also the blocker for the active whiteboard / React Flow parity implementation stack. The lowest stack blocker remains PR #200. Once #200 is approved or explicitly bypass-authorized and merged, the downstream stacked PR chain should be processed in order rather than out of sequence:

#202 -> #204 -> #210 -> #211 -> #212 -> #213 -> #214 -> #216 -> #218 -> #220 -> #222 -> #224 -> #231 -> #232 -> #233 -> #234 -> #235 -> #236 -> #238 -> #240 -> #247 -> #248 -> #249 -> #250 -> #251 -> #252 -> #259.

A read-only Beads/PR queue refresh shows bd ready --json is still empty and the repository has 37 blocked beads / 0 ready beads. The first seven master PRs still need the review-gate decision before any new implementation worktree should be started from the existing queue.

This comment is an ordering/impact note only. It does not authorize bypass, ruleset changes, PR merge, or downstream implementation work.

2026-05-14 Beads dependency graph cleanup:

Tracker-only metadata update d27edf8 added the missing Beads dependency edges from the review-gate tracker avalonia-node-map-zdc / GitHub #272 to the two remaining blocked root-looking stack entries:

• avalonia-node-map-rwr / Phase 539 now depends on avalonia-node-map-zdc.
• avalonia-node-map-wml / Phase 565 now depends on avalonia-node-map-zdc.

Current verification after the metadata update:

• bd ready --json returns [].
• blocked Beads root summary now shows only avalonia-node-map-zdc / GitHub Resolve review gate for blocked master PR queue #272 as the dependency-free blocked root.
• Full open PR scan found no DIRTY, CONFLICTING, or UNKNOWN open PRs after the tracker-only master commit.
• PR Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200 remains MERGEABLE / BLOCKED / REVIEW_REQUIRED, with all listed CI checks green and no approving review.

This is tracker hygiene only. It does not authorize bypass, ruleset changes, PR merge, reviewer approval, or downstream implementation work.

2026-05-14 ruleset source refresh:

Read-only GitHub API checks confirm the current master queue is blocked by the repository ruleset path rather than classic branch protection or CI.

Evidence:

• gh api repos/ExplodingUFO/AsterGraph/branches/master/protection returns Branch not protected / HTTP 404, so there is no classic branch protection object on master.
• gh api repos/ExplodingUFO/AsterGraph/rulesets/16284262 shows active ruleset default-main, target branch, condition ~DEFAULT_BRANCH.
• That ruleset includes a pull_request rule with required_approving_review_count: 1, require_code_owner_review: false, required_reviewers: [], and allowed merge methods merge, squash, rebase.
• The same ruleset has a RepositoryRole bypass actor with bypass_mode: always; this is the bypass path that remains out of scope unless explicitly authorized for the current review-gated queue.
• gh api repos/ExplodingUFO/AsterGraph/collaborators --paginate currently returns only ExplodingUFO with admin permissions.
• gh api repos/ExplodingUFO/AsterGraph/invitations --paginate currently returns [].
• Current master queue PRs remain blocked by REVIEW_REQUIRED, with no latest reviews and no review requests: Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200, Align serialization docs with schema version 6 #261, Align Chinese Project Status support boundary summary #263, Tighten PR template traceability #265, Tighten feature request template traceability #267, Tighten bug report template traceability #269, Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271.

Operational conclusion:

• Non-bypass path: add/obtain a real non-author reviewer approval, then merge the master queue in order.
• Bypass path: only use repository-role bypass if the owner gives scoped authorization for the already-green review-gated master queue recorded here; do not reuse that authorization for future PRs or product-code changes.

2026-05-14 auto-merge / self-service reviewer refresh:

Read-only checks show there is still no safe self-service path for the current review-gated master queue.

Evidence:

• PR Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200 has autoMergeRequest=null and remains MERGEABLE / BLOCKED / REVIEW_REQUIRED, with no non-success checks.
• Repository REST/GraphQL reports allow_auto_merge=false / autoMergeAllowed=false, so enabling auto-merge for the queue is not available.
• assignableUsers and mentionableUsers currently contain only ExplodingUFO.
• Collaborators still contain only ExplodingUFO; repository invitations are empty.
• The queued PRs are authored by ExplodingUFO, so the current account cannot satisfy the required approving review by self-review.

Operational conclusion:

• Normal path: add or obtain an eligible non-author reviewer approval, starting with PR Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200, then merge Align serialization docs with schema version 6 #261, Align Chinese Project Status support boundary summary #263, Tighten PR template traceability #265, Tighten feature request template traceability #267, Tighten bug report template traceability #269, Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271 in order.
• Bypass path: still requires explicit maintainer authorization for a one-time repository-role bypass of only the already-green current queue (Record Phase 538 eraser feasibility boundary #200, Align serialization docs with schema version 6 #261, Align Chinese Project Status support boundary summary #263, Tighten PR template traceability #265, Tighten feature request template traceability #267, Tighten bug report template traceability #269, Document review-gated PR queue handoff #271).

This comment does not authorize bypass, ruleset changes, PR merge, or downstream implementation work.
