HOWTO: Use a Manual Gate in a Module Run¶
Manual gates are the human-in-the-loop checkpoints that HybridOps uses when automated probes alone are not sufficient — for example, before a production cutover or after a database schema migration. This HOWTO covers gate declaration in the module contract, the pause-and-resume flow in the CLI, capturing the approver identity and reasoning in the run record, and integrating gates with external approval workflows such as GitHub PR reviews or Jira change tickets.
What this covers:
- Gate declaration in the module contract: placement, timeout, and escalation policy
- CLI pause-and-resume flow with approver identity capture in the run record
- External approval workflow integration: GitHub PR, Jira, and webhook patterns
