# Adversarial Bug Report: Autopilot Gate Integration
## Deep Review
The gate-check loop in orchestrate.md replaces the previous drive_all() pseudocode with an explicit phase-by-phase process. Each phase is validated before and after. Approval gates are hard stops, not soft suggestions.
## Potential Issues
1. **Self-approval risk**: In autopilot mode, the orchestrator prompt says "STOP and wait for user approval" at approval gates. However, the orchestrator is the same agent that completes the phase. A non-compliant orchestrator could skip the approval gate and call `--approve` itself. Mitigation: `--approve` is designed to require explicit user action, but the enforcement is prompt-based within a single agent session.
2. **Session context loss at approval pause**: When autopilot pauses for user approval and the user returns in a new session, the orchestrator must re-read `.state` to know where it left off. This works correctly but depends on the `.state` file being written before the pause.
3. **No timeout on approval pauses**: If the user never returns to approve a phase, the task is stuck in `:awaiting_approval` indefinitely. This is by design (user must approve), but there's no notification mechanism.
## Verdict: PASS — the self-approval risk is an inherent limitation of prompt-based enforcement, not a bug.
