Per-PR exceptions

Letting a single pull request through a freeze with a reason, a time limit, and a record of who decided.

An exception lets one pull request through an active freeze without lifting it for everyone else. It requires a reason, it expires, and both the grant and the expiry land in the audit log with the actor who decided.

  • Granted from the pull request itself, the dashboard, or the API.
  • TTL presets of one hour, four hours, or until the freeze ends.
  • Sticky keeps the exception when new commits land; strict revokes it. Set the policy per organization.
  • Per-PR exceptions start at Team.

This page is expanding at launch with the approval workflow and the auditor’s view.
