“So if it's a dependency bump and doc changes, we should be approving them. Any changes under sensitive stuff like payments or [auth] might need a human approver on top.

Each approval and override is recorded on the PR for audit, since CI logs expire. Quoted from YouTube’s auto-generated captions.
