Before ANY git commit/add/push/deploy command, STOP and verify:

1. Did user EXPLICITLY approve? (commit this/deploy it/go ahead)
2. If NO → ASK: 'Should I commit and deploy this fix?'
3. NOT approval: '--yes flag', silence, technical comments

Failure pattern: Auto-pilot 'fix mode' - find bug → fix → commit (WRONG)
Correct: find bug → fix → ASK → approval → commit
