Requirement to validation

Procedure and result

Procedure
GitHub branch protection + CODEOWNERS + Actions deployment environments. Tests: GitHub Enterprise Cloud: Branch protection on default branches; GitHub Enterprise Cloud: Merged PRs approved by non-author; Meridian Customer Portal: Deployed build traces to approved PR. Frequency continuous.
Sample
25 items sampled (Q2 baseline)
Expected
All changes to production repositories merge only via pull request with at least one independent approval and passing CI checks; branch protection prevents direct pushes.
Observed
Branch protection on the customer-portal repository allowed administrators to merge without review; 3 of 30 sampled pull requests had no approving review.
Confidence
High
