Description
Clarifies the existing pull request guidance for autonomous or non-interactive agents. When the filing account already has three open pull requests and the user is unavailable to provide permission, the agent should preserve the work on a branch rather than assume consent and open another pull request.
The existing threshold and policy remain unchanged.
Testing
Documentation-only change; no tests were required.
