Summary

Adds a read-only controller-approval-preflight command for ClawSweeper/OpenClaw visible approval publication. It consumes an accepted positive-review handoff, a passing Contract Run, and an optional live PR state snapshot, then emits ready, needs_live_state, or blocked while keeping Patchwarden write-free (merge_allowed=false, external_write_allowed=false).

This advances PW-G012/PW-G016 without implementing controller mutation or merge actuation.

## Summary Adds a read-only `controller-approval-preflight` command for ClawSweeper/OpenClaw visible approval publication. It consumes an accepted positive-review handoff, a passing Contract Run, and an optional live PR state snapshot, then emits `ready`, `needs_live_state`, or `blocked` while keeping Patchwarden write-free (`merge_allowed=false`, `external_write_allowed=false`). This advances PW-G012/PW-G016 without implementing controller mutation or merge actuation. ## Vistula Issue: #107 Value: product Effort: medium Lead time: same-day ## Verification - `PYTHONPATH=src:. python3 -m unittest tests.test_controller_approval tests.test_cli_controller_approval tests.test_artifact_schema_contract tests.test_cli_status tests.test_status_html tests.test_vision_gap_ledger tests.test_docs_module_inventory` - CLI smoke: `controller-intake-check` -> `controller-approval-preflight` returned `ready` with `merge_allowed=false` and `external_write_allowed=false` - `PYTHONPATH=src:. python3 -m unittest discover -s tests` - `jq empty spec/schemas/controller-approval-preflight.schema.json spec/schemas/examples/controller-approval-preflight.ready.json` - `git diff --cached --check`
