Problem

Compliance: verbatim-stub-drift-initiative-driver.yml

From the issue: Category: ci-workflows Severity: error Check: verbatim-stub-drift-initiative-driver.yml

Risk

Medium — changes GitHub Actions workflow behavior, which is exercised only post-merge; verify via the affected workflow runs.

Test plan

No test files were added or updated. Verification: bash scripts/dev-lead-lint.sh (shellcheck --severity=warning) ran pre-commit; the existing CI (bats + lint) guards the change.

Rollback

Revert this PR. No non-revertible side effects (no tags, migrations, or external state).

Monitoring

Watch the affected workflow run(s) in the Actions tab and this PR's Lint check for regressions.

Closes #635

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Automation
    • Initiative dispatch now checks agent rate limits and defers when the gate explicitly requests it. If the check is unavailable or encounters an error, dispatch continues.
  • Documentation
    • Updated setup guidance to explain the preferred access token, its legacy fallback, and rate-limit gate behavior.
