Approval Gates Across Agents

A multi-agent run can do a lot of damage if every agent rubber-stamps the next. Approval gates are the human-in-the-loop checkpoints. The standard placement: after the planner (approve the plan), before the deployer (approve the deploy). Everything in between is autonomous.

Tighter gates — like reviewing every Edit — kill the throughput benefit. Looser gates — like skipping plan approval — let the roster wander into expensive mistakes. The two-checkpoint default is the sweet spot for most teams.
