Selecting dismissal actors is configuration.
Proving who can and cannot clear approval is governance.
Map sanitized review-control paths before rolling out GitHub’s new dismissal restriction. Reconcile ruleset and classic branch-protection layers, users/teams/apps as actor classes, bypass, stale approvals, code owners, emergency exceptions and both allow and deny tests—without entering any real organization, repository, branch, identity, ruleset or pull request.

Layering, exception and test queue
“Evidence recorded” proves only coherent abstract metadata. This page did not inspect rules, resolve actor membership, read a pull request or audit event, change GitHub configuration, execute dismissal, validate branch matching or establish control effectiveness.
Zero-identity boundary: all free analysis stays in this browser. Enter only fictional path aliases, enumerated states and safe evidence references. Never paste an organization, repository, branch, user/team/App identity, ruleset JSON, pull request/review, CODEOWNERS, API/audit log, token, ticket or customer data. This page does not connect to GitHub, generate or apply configuration, dismiss a review, inspect Rule Insights or claim a governance control works. Authorized organization, platform governance, AppSec, compliance and repository owners control every real action.
