Summary for December 2024: Implemented automated PR governance for riscv/sdtrigpend by adding a GitHub Actions workflow that blocks merges for PRs labeled 'Pending Ratification'. The workflow runs on PR events and fails the build when the label is present, enforcing review requirements and reducing merge risk. This aligns CI/CD with governance policy and minimizes unreviewed changes entering main.
