Shameless plug here for Lexega—a deterministic policy enforcement layer for SQL in CI/CD :) https://lexega.com

There are bridges here that the industry has yet to figure out. There is absolutely a place for LLMs in these workflows, and what you've done here with the Mendral agent is very disciplined, which is, I'd venture to say, uncommon. Leadership wants results, which presses teams to ship things that maybe shouldn't be shipped quite yet. IMO the industry is moving faster than they can keep up with the implications.
