Amber Safety Hardening (Future Enhancements)

[jeremyeder]

Future Safety Features

Based on .claude/amber-config.yml policy framework and PR #369 review feedback:

1. Change Validation

• Automated diff analysis to detect scope creep
• File count limits (max 10 files per auto-fix)
• Line change thresholds
• Forbidden path checks (vendor/, node_modules/)

2. Risk-Based Gating

• Auto-merge for low-risk (formatting only) changes
• Required review for medium-risk (refactoring)
• Block high-risk (breaking changes, security)
• Integration with .claude/amber-config.yml policies

3. Testing Enforcement

• Require all tests pass before PR creation
• Run linters automatically (gofmt, black, etc.)
• Coverage check for new code
• Contract test validation

4. Rate Limiting

• Max 5 PRs per day (prevent spam)
• Cooldown period between runs
• Per-label quotas

5. Learning & Metrics

• Track false positive rate
• Monitor PR merge rate
• Analyze common failure patterns
• Adjust thresholds based on history

Priority

Medium - Current implementation (PR #369) is functional; these are optimizations
