Advanced PR readiness gate for GitHub.

Merge Preflight evaluates pull requests against your policies including:

  • external state: Jira/Linear issue status, Sentry ongoing incident;
  • time windows (example: block merges on Friday evenings);
  • branch naming, commit/PR body discipline.
Deterministic result, remediation actions advised, audit trail preserved.
