A recovery watchdog whose actors structurally cannot mutate approvals (master, unreleased)
What this changes for operators
- PR #8339 (merged to master 2026-06-19, NOT tagged) adds a task watchdog control plane whose recovery and status-only actors must remain limited to status reporting and cannot create approvals, link approvals, or submit approval comments — enforced via a scoped mutation guard.
- Operators relying on automated recovery should know the next tag structurally prevents a recovery actor from escalating into an approval; the running binary does not yet carry this guard.
