Patrol could run some fixes on its own in two paid modes: assisted (Safe
auto-fix) and full (Autopilot, behind a server-owned acknowledgement).
Schema-v17 telemetry for the week to 2026-10-11 counts 1 assisted and 2
full installs out of 612 reporting Patrol, 4 executed Patrol actions in
30 days, all on one install, and no GitHub request for more autonomy,
while the automatic path carried its own policy leases, acknowledgement
store, per-resource allowlist, release gate and Colima lab. Investigation
is what paid installs use, so it stays.
Patrol now has two modes. Watch only reports findings. Ask first
investigates and proposes fixes, and every fix waits in Actions for an
operator to approve and run it.
- A saved assisted, full or autonomous level reads as approval, and the
update routes refuse those levels with 400 invalid_autonomy_level.
- The core Patrol action broker only plans: Plan and Submit persist the
plan and return. ExecuteUnderPolicy, the policy authorization lease,
the policy admission store methods, the Autopilot acknowledgement
persistence, routes and dialog, and the per-resource automatic-action
allowlist (store column now written as NULL) are gone.
GetPatrolFullModeUnlocked stays on the extension contract and reports
false.
- Historical action records keep their policy lease and tenant/resource
reason codes decodable, labelled as retired modes.
- The Patrol inbox no longer splits issues into "continuing without a
decision"; every current issue is an operator decision.
- Release gate RG-06 now proves Patrol never executes without an operator
decision (integration tier) instead of limited unattended autonomy,
and RG-02/RG-04 point at the surviving human-admission proofs.
- Pro plan copy, AI docs, privacy telemetry wording and the subsystem
contracts describe the two modes.
