v0.1.8 — Human-in-the-Loop Approval Gates

Release v0.1.8: Human-in-the-Loop Approval Gates

February 11, 2026

What changed

Added configurable approval gates that pause the pipeline at key checkpoints and wait for human approval
Two gate types: before_merge (after CI passes, before merging the PR) and before_release (before creating a GitHub release/tag)
New approval_gates database table and awaiting_approval pipeline status
New tRPC approval router with endpoints to list pending gates and approve/reject them
New Approvals dashboard page showing all pending gates across projects, with approve/reject buttons and optional notes
Sidebar now shows a badge with pending approval count
Automation settings updated with toggles to enable/disable each gate type
Gates auto-expire after 24 hours if no action is taken

Why it matters

Pipeline runs previously claimed to require human review but had no actual mechanism to enforce it. Now the pipeline genuinely stops and waits for your explicit approval before merging code or publishing a release.

Technical notes

Migration: 0004_approval_gates.sql
Uses Inngest step.waitForEvent() for durable serverless suspension — no compute consumed while waiting
