autoresearchclaw-gate-stages-require-explicit-hitl-approval

AutoResearchClaw has 3 hard gate stages (stages 5, 9, 20) that pause the pipeline and require explicit human-in-loop approval before proceeding. When ORACLE Hermes orchestrates ResearchClaw autonomously, it must programmatically approve/reject these gates via dedicated MCP tools (researchclaw_approve_gate, researchclaw_reject_gate). Failing to account for gate stages causes pipeline hangs. ORACLE Hermes acts as the HITL reviewer and must poll for gate-pending status and respond.
