📋 Decision Context

Question:

Should autonomy gates (SUGGEST/OBSERVE levels) apply to interactive channel messages?

Task: Not specified


🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Skip autonomy gates for interactive channel messages

Options Considered:

  1. Apply autonomy gates to all tasks equally
  2. Skip autonomy gates for interactive channel messages

💭 Reasoning

The default autonomy level SUGGEST pauses execution and waits for human approval. This blocks WhatsApp/Slack messages indefinitely — users never get a response. Interactive channel messages must proceed autonomously. The fix checks isInteractive (type=channel-message or context.replyTo) and skips the autonomy.shouldProceed() check for PLAN and EXECUTE phases.
