/rite-seal: GO / NO-GO
Verify the final candidate and write seal.md; /rite-ship alone performs
authorized irreversible actions and close-out.
Authority
Read core.md plus only
final-diff-relevant standards: agents, code-review, testing, browser-proof-checklist,
security, principles, documentation, observability, deprecation, and
definition-of-done.
Load final-evidence.md and
go-no-go.md for proof and verdict safety.
Follow the shared
candidate-integrity.md for
the reviewed digest and artifact bindings.
The host runs/reconciles named read-only reviewers; engine checks invariants.
Standard is default; Full broadens conditional axes per
devrites-lib/reference/orchestration-profiles.md.
Gate
| State |
Verdict |
Acceptance proven, deterministic checks pass, no unresolved drift or human gate, Critical == 0, Important == 0 |
GO |
Same, but Important > 0 |
Ask Important findings remain. Proceed to seal? [y/N]; default N |
Critical > 0 |
NO-GO |
| Any acceptance criterion, resolved prohibition, or declared key link lacks proof |
NO-GO |
| Evidence is stale, or native diff review plus the exact test analyst finds weakened tests |
NO-GO: Critical |
| Any exact required reviewer account is missing or silent |
NO-GO |
Any gate: validating question remains open |
NO-GO |
| Material UI acceptance lacks or fails required browser proof |
NO-GO |
| Unresolved drift, unsafe migration/removal, or unapproved principle violation remains |
NO-GO |
A judgment-only criterion needs the human eye; AFK records a validating question
and stops.
Workflow
Follow reference/phase-contract.md
(risk-and-rollback.md,
seal-template.md,
anti-patterns.md):
- read workspace and final diff;
- recheck the canonical candidate/bindings and approved repository/CI proof;
- dispatch exact proof, spec, test, doubt, and applicable review agents;
- reconcile their read-only verdicts against source and immutable evidence;
- draft GO/NO-GO
seal.md with acceptance, tests, decisions, and seven accounts;
- write exactly one candidate binding, then run
devrites-engine check seal <slug> for structure and identity, never semantics.
Any candidate correction returns through affected Prove and a fresh Review before
Seal starts again.
Only repository scripts/CI authorize commands; never guess them.
On GO
Set state.md Next step: /rite-ship and stop. A GO is a verdict, not
authorization to perform an irreversible action.
Output
Use reference/output.md.
