Controlled Autonomy

Phase 8 autonomy intents, executions, alerts, and cap utilization — read-through control surface only; never a scheduler runtime or approval bypass (ADR-813).

Intents, executions, alerts, and cap utilization

Read-through Controlled Autonomy panels. Approval decisions stay in the Approval System. This surface never starts a scheduler runtime, mutates ads/CRM/Shopify, or auto-activates prompts/rules.

Controlled Autonomy runbook

Deploy, mock-enable, schedule approved content, monitor caps/rollbacks, and verify fixtures — read-through control surface only.

Hard boundaries

  • No ads / Shopify / CRM mutation
  • Lifecycle status is not approval
