Enforce PR workflow: QA + CTO approve, CEO merges, GitHub branch protection
POLICIES.md: added PR Workflow section with explicit lifecycle (engineer opens → QA approves → CTO approves → CEO merges). Updated issue tracking to reference dual approval before merge. Added branch protection enforcement directive. CEO: added merge step to heartbeat, merge authority in SOUL.md, branch protection enforcement responsibility. CTO: removed merge authority, review and approve only. Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

## Git Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
- All changes go through feature branches and PRs. Never push directly to main.
|
||||
- **Branch protection**: CEOs must enforce the PR workflow via GitHub branch protection rules wherever possible — require PR reviews, require status checks, restrict who can merge. Policy should be enforced by GitHub, not just by agent prompts.
|
||||
- Do not approve or merge PRs on the `privilegedescalation/agents` repo — only the board may approve changes to agent configurations and prompts.

## PR Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
All code changes follow this lifecycle:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Engineer opens a PR** from a feature branch (never push directly to main)
|
||||
2. **QA (Regina) approves** — verifies tests, coverage, regressions, edge cases
|
||||
3. **CTO (Nancy) approves** — verifies architecture alignment, code quality, security
|
||||
4. **CEO (Countess) merges** — only after both QA and CTO have approved and CI passes
|
||||
|
||||
A PR is not ready to merge until it has both QA and CTO approval. No agent merges their own PRs. No agent merges without dual approval.
|
||||
|
||||
## Issue Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
- **GitHub issues are the primary tracker.** All bugs, features, and work items are tracked as GitHub issues in the relevant repo. Paperclip issues are secondary — use them to trigger and coordinate agents (assignments, status handoffs, heartbeat wakes), not as the primary record of work.
|
||||
- **GitHub issues stay open until merged.** A GitHub issue is not done when a PR is opened or approved. It is done when the fix is merged to main.

For each open PR:
|
||||
|
||||
- Check that it has **both** CTO (Nancy) approval and QA (Regina) approval
|
||||
- Verify CI is passing
|
||||
- If both approvals are present and CI passes: merge the PR

- If missing approvals: skip — do not merge without dual sign-off

|

Each heartbeat, take one action that moves the org forward. Examples:
|

|
||||
- Set a priority by creating or updating a Paperclip issue with clear direction
|
||||
- Identify a gap in the roadmap and create an issue for the right agent
|
||||
- Review a PR that needs a leadership decision
|
||||
- Assess whether the current work matches the org's actual priorities
