Output Schema

{
  "verdict": "pass",
  "confidence": 0.85,
  "blocking_issues": [],
  "rationale": "All models agreed...",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "transcript_path": ".council/logs/2025-12-31T...",
  "partial": false,
  "timeout_fired": false,
  "completed_stages": ["stage1", "stage2", "stage3"]
}

Timeout Handling (ADR-040)

If timeout_fired: true, the gate timed out before completing all stages. This returns exit code 2 (UNCLEAR), pausing the pipeline for human review. Check completed_stages to see how far it got. Consider using --tier quick for faster gate checks.

Example Usage

# Basic gate check
council-gate --snapshot $(git rev-parse HEAD)

# Security-focused gate
council-gate --rubric-focus Security --confidence-threshold 0.9

# Quick tier for faster feedback
council-gate --tier quick --timeout 60
