 ## Approval Gate and Push Policy
-- After validation, present a summary of what changed and the validation output to the maintainer.
-- Only on explicit approval run `git push origin main` for the package commit(s).
-- Never force-push unless explicitly instructed.
+- Commits: frequent, small, and descriptive commits are encouraged; no approval needed for local commits.
+- After validation, present a concise summary of changes and validation output to the maintainer and request permission to push.
+- Push only at “natural” points (coherent, validated milestones). Examples:
+  - First green build of a new package scaffold (image builds + container starts + health OK).
+  - A feature-complete slice (e.g., addon integration added and tested).
+  - A bug fix with verification.
+  - Pre-release stabilization checkpoint.
+- Batch pushes to avoid noise (aim for 1–3 pushes per active app per work session).
+- NEVER push a broken or non‑validated build.
+- Only on explicit approval run `git push origin main` for package-affecting changes.
+- Never force‑push unless explicitly instructed.
 
 ## Repository Hygiene
 - Do not commit upstream repos. The directories `PackagingForCloudronWorkspace/Docker/` and `PackagingForCloudronWorkspace/NonDocker/` are gitignored on purpose.
