 # agent-team/ci — split-job CI apply/verify workflow (Plane-2 leaf)

+> **MOVED + LIVE (2026-06-22):** the workflow is now a registered GitHub Actions
+> workflow at **`.github/workflows/agent-team-apply-verify.yml`** (repo root) —
+> GitHub Actions only runs workflows under `.github/workflows/`, so the prior

+The **split-job CI apply/verify workflow** turns a builder agent's
 **untrusted candidate diff** into a verified **draft PR** — the §3.3.2 trust
 boundary, Phase P3 (§7.1) of `../../docs/r720-agent-team-design.md`.
