Trust ladder & plans

Autonomy in Automaintainer is something you grant, not something forced on you. As trust grows you move up a ladder, from review‑only to fully hands‑off.

The trust ladder

The Verification Gate is enforced at every stage — the difference is who presses merge. A red gate never produces a merge‑ready PR (it opens as a draft).

What each plan unlocks

Limits are the single source of truth in the product; see Plans & limits for the authoritative numbers.

Picking where to start

• Trying it out? Free — you stay fully in control and review everything.
• Steady maintenance? Pro — AM does the work and reviews; you press merge.
• Hands‑off cadence? Max — AM merges verified work and can pick its own bounded tasks via explore mode.

Earned trust

Each repo also shows a Trust score (0–100) on its card and in its settings — a read‑only signal of how reliably AM has performed there, from recent runs: ship rate, first‑try gate pass rate, and reliability. It maps to a recommended autonomy tier (building → review & merge → auto‑merge ready) plus the single thing that would raise it.

auto‑merge ready is only reachable with a verify gate and an earned track record — a repo with no gate can't get there, however well it ships. The score is advisory by default — but enabling "Only when trust is earned" on a repo's auto‑merge makes it enforced: auto‑merge then waits until the repo reaches auto‑merge ready (and pauses again if reliability regresses). Leaving that off, an auto‑merge‑enabled repo merges green PRs without waiting on the score.
