Developed an automated pull request merge authorization validation for the lowRISC/opentitan repository, focusing on enhancing code review governance and reducing merge risk. The solution involved a Python script that inspects both regular and review comments for the explicit phrase 'CHANGE AUTHORIZED:' before permitting a merge, ensuring that all changes receive clear, auditable approval. By integrating this dual-source check, the process improved traceability and strengthened compliance with project review standards. The work demonstrated proficiency in Python scripting and code review automation, delivering a targeted feature that bolsters merge safety and auditability without introducing unnecessary complexity or overhead to the workflow.
