Unconfirmed Product Direction Close Policy

Read when changing automatic handling for technically correct feature-like pull requests.

ClawSweeper can propose unconfirmed_product_direction only for openclaw/openclaw pull requests that meet every deterministic review gate:

  • external, non-maintainer author
  • item_category: feature
  • requires_product_decision: true
  • new feature or configuration surface
  • correct patch with no review findings
  • dedicated security review status is cleared, with no concerns
  • sufficient or overridden real behavior proof
  • PR quality tier C or better
  • no clawsweeper:human-review, clawsweeper:manual-only, clawsweeper:autofix, or clawsweeper:automerge label

The review lane only writes a durable close proposal. Apply is default-off and requires the repository variable CLAWSWEEPER_UNCONFIRMED_PRODUCT_DIRECTION_CLOSE_ENABLED=true. When the gate is disabled, apply records the skip without consuming or rewriting the durable proposal.

Even when enabled, apply fails closed unless the PR is older than 14 days and the source snapshot was inactive for seven days before review. It re-fetches live state and keeps the PR open when it finds an assignee, requested reviewer or team, maintainer issue comment, maintainer review, maintainer inline review comment, an exemption label, changed source state, missing pagination data, or any GitHub fetch failure.

The policy does not merge a PR, add public labels, infer product acceptance from passing tests, or treat an existing issue as permission to add product surface. Maintainer calibration remains explicit and reversible.
