> Your bosses don't want you actually reviewing it anyway. They want you to approve the PR. Just give them what they want.
Then remove the whole process and let it go through automatically. I've worked in high trust teams where we would do that - there was no gate.
If that's what they wanted they'd mandate that process. They want the deniability of having you rubber stamp the PR. That way they can blame you when it goes wrong. There may be high trust teams, but I've never seen one firsthand, but my sample size is only N=5.
