Definition

A quantitative governance control that pauses merging of LLM-created pull requests when their share of merges exceeds a threshold over a time window — used by the rust monorepo LLM policy to prevent AI contributions from overwhelming review capacity.

Key Points

  • Rust rule: if >50% of PRs merged in a 6-week window are LLM-created → stop new LLM-created merges until share <50%, with minimum 10-day cooldown (2026-08-05-rust-llm-policy-forge)
  • Window aligns with Rust release cycle; automation encouraged
  • Complements disclosure labels (ai-assisted) and experiment gates
