+## Block on a failed quality gate
+
+Configure **Full Code** conditions in **CodeAnt → Settings → Code Analysis → Quality Gates**, then enable enforcement:
+
+```yaml
+- name: CodeAnt quality gate
+  uses: CodeAnt-AI/codeant-ci-scan-action@v0.0.6
+  with:
+    access_token: ${{ secrets.CODEANT_TOKEN }}
+    scanners: sast,sca
+    quality_gate: 'true'
+```
+
+Requires the planned `v0.0.6` release (not published yet); `v0.0.5` does not support `quality_gate`. The input defaults to `'false'` so existing scan-only workflows keep their behavior.
+
+A failed backend verdict or results timeout fails the step when enforcement is enabled. Keep downstream deployment jobs dependent on this job, and use `if: always()` when uploading reports:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Save reports
+  if: ${{ always() }}
+  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+  with:
+    name: codeant-results
+    path: |
+      results.json
+      codeant.sarif
+      codeant-qg.xml
+```
+
+Configure conditions before enforcing: no conditions can produce a native PASSED verdict. The native full-code gate supports SAST/SCA/IaC ratings and duplicate-code conditions; secrets are returned as findings but have no full-code gate metric.
