From ai-maestro-maintainer-agent
Use when a commit is about to land whose planned diff touches a security-sensitive path. CHECK matches the diff against the protected-paths list (.github/, scripts/publish.py, etc.); on hit, posts approve-protected-edit + a diff fingerprint on the issue and HALTS. VERIFY resumes only when $AUTHORIZED_USER approves that exact fingerprint. Trigger with phrases like "approval gate check", "verify protected-edit approval", or "guard protected paths".

fingerprint).| Error | Action |
