Pull request overview
Temporarily disables the “new contributor requires newcomer-approved label” CI gate in the contributor-gate job, while keeping the enforcement logic in place behind an environment toggle so it can be re-enabled later.
Changes:
- Introduces an
ENFORCE_NEWCOMER_APPROVALtoggle for the contributor tier gate logic. - Wraps the
newcomer-approvedlabel enforcement in the toggle and emits a::notice::when enforcement is disabled.
