# Decision Gate

Verdict: **GO**

```
VERDICT: GO
```

### Rationale
All four persona reviewers — Principal Systems Engineer, Linus Torvalds, Staff Security Engineer, and Andrej Karpathy — unanimously **approve** the implementation. There are zero CRITICAL or HIGH findings. All six PRD functional requirements (FR-1 through FR-6) are fully implemented with 58 new tests passing. The security posture is strong: SHA-pinned actions, OIDC Trusted Publisher authentication, least-privilege permissions, fail-safe non-interactive defaults, and PR-gated Homebrew updates. The few findings are LOW/cosmetic: a misleading test name, a placeholder SHA that could be more obviously fake, and a `--break-system-packages` fallback that is adequately warned.

### Unresolved Issues
_(None blocking)_

### Recommendation
**Merge as-is.** The implementation is production-ready. For future iterations, consider:
- Rename `test_release_notes_use_curl_f_flag` to better reflect what it actually tests
- Add a `--version` flag to `install.sh` for pinned installs
- Reformat `CHANGELOG.md` with version headers so release note extraction works beyond the fallback
- Add Sigstore signing at v1.0 as noted in the PRD non-goals
