Kingy AI Take

GitHub scheduled Code Quality's move from public preview to paid general availability on July 20, 2026, with a documented $10 per-active-committer base price plus metered AI-powered work (github.blog). Engineering Leaders and Platform Teams planning quality gates get concrete pricing to model ahead of rollout. The June 16 notice is an advance announcement, so verify final availability, repository eligibility, and false-positive rates before organization-wide enablement.
