Quality and release gates — quick notes
| Boundary | Mechanism | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Merge into a branch | Branch policies | Repo admin |
| Deploy into an environment | Approvals and checks | Resource owner |
Branch policies can require: reviewers · linked work items · resolved comments · successful build · external status checks.
Governance checks: Required template · Branch control · Query Azure Monitor alerts · Evaluate artifact.
Trap: a branch policy cannot gate a deployment, and a check cannot gate a merge. Different boundaries, different owners.
