Platform

A small console for merge operations.

One screen shows whether a pull request can merge, which lane it belongs to, what policy governs it, and what happens next.

Readiness

Checks, approvals, CODEOWNERS, stale approval state, and unresolved blockers are visible before a PR is queued.

Queues

Lanes stay explicit. Operators can fast-track, pause, retry, or requeue without leaving the same surface.

Policies

Rulesets, merge methods, labels, priority rules, and freeze windows stay attached to the lane that enforces them.
