## Summary
Adds a new fleet skill, `local-strict-review`: one read-only,
adversarial review pass against a branch's current diff against its
merge-base, full file context included, on the strongest model tier
reachable, before a unit of work is committed toward a pull request or
claimed done. It reuses `code-review`'s "Review the Change" criteria
rather than restating them, and owns only this local, pre-PR moment.
Wires it into the three moments it exists to cover:
- `pr-review-conduct`'s Expected review loop, before the first push and
before any fix push under outcome 1.
- `drive-pr`'s Drive Loop step 2 and its finding-disposition mapping.
- `agent-conduct`'s "Before Claiming Done" trigger, for PR-bound work
specifically.
`AGENTS.md` "Where the Rules Live" gets one new closing-paragraph
sentence introducing the skill, per the `skill-lifecycle` doc-packaging
pattern for new content.
Regenerated `.github/skills/` and `.claude-plugin/fleet-skills/` via
`python3 scripts/build_dist.py`; `--check` is clean and
`scripts/tests/test_build_dist.py` passes.
## Design notes
- The diff anchor is the branch's diff against `git merge-base @{u}
HEAD`, not `git diff --staged` as literally proposed in #1056. Staging
is consumed by the commit that must precede any push, so a staged-only
anchor would be empty at every call site the wiring above invokes it
from. The merge-base anchor also reviews the whole accumulated branch
diff rather than only the latest increment, which is what the issue's
own evidence section says incremental per-push review misses.
- Model selection follows the fleet's existing model-tier convention
(`AGENTS.md` "Match the model tier to the judgment... state the tier in
the delegation itself") rather than naming a literal model ID that would
go stale.
- `code-review`'s "Publish Every Finding" section (PR-comment posting,
severity-labeled titles, a `fleet-review` coverage marker) is
deliberately not imported: this pass has no PR to post to, so its own
report contract replaces that section rather than extending it.
- Findings dispose per `pr-review-conduct`'s five outcomes; a finding
raised and not fixed is never the agent's own call to leave, per outcome
3.
## Scope
Folds in #1057 (chain local checks before opening a PR / pushing a fix)
and #1059 (`agent-conduct`'s claiming-done trigger). #1058
(CodeRabbit/Qodo comment-coverage gaps) and #1060 (bot-silence vs.
budget-stop diagnosis) are a different subject and intentionally out of
scope here.
Fixes#1056Fixes#1057Fixes#1059
## Verification
- `python3 scripts/build_dist.py --check` clean.
- `python3 scripts/tests/test_build_dist.py` passes (28 tests).
- Full local gate (`ruff`, `mypy`, the `scripts/tests` and
`spec`/`host-setup` self-tests, `build_dist.py --check`, `repo_gate.py`,
`prose_lint.py`'s default and `charset-unknown` checks, JSON validation,
`spec/validate.py`, `docker_lint.py`) all green.
- Dogfooded the new skill itself: dispatched an Opus-tier adversarial
pass against this PR's own staged diff before the first push. It found
real defects in the first draft (the staged-diff anchor being empty at
its own call sites, a lossy summary of `pr-review-conduct`'s five
outcomes, a briefing-shape violation, a Markdown loose-list bug, a
heading-casing miss), all fixed before this push.

<!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->…nly findings (#1067) Closes#1066. Closes#1058. ## #1066 - review_on_head=NO misread as "no review covers this head" `review_on_head` in `pr_review.py`'s digest names Copilot's own coverage specifically (the reviewer this script requests and waits for), never "no review of any kind covers this head". A tracked other reviewer (CodeRabbit, Qodo) can carry the exact head commit under `other_reviewed`, with an empty review body and no new threads, its own ordinary "reviewed, nothing to flag" shape, not a missing review. That distinction existed in the code already but was easy to misread from the digest line alone. Clarified in `pr_review.py`'s own docstring and in `pr-review-conduct`'s Merge Gate (item 2). ## #1058 - CodeRabbit/Qodo findings that reach no thread Gives `pr_review.py` the equivalent of Copilot's suppressed-comments handling for the two other trialed reviewers: - **CodeRabbit's "outside diff range" findings** are collapsed into the review body rather than raised as an inline review comment, so they open no `reviewThreads` entry either. Read via a generalized `marker_blocks` helper (shared with the existing `suppressed_blocks`), surfaced as `cr_outside_diff=N (on_head=X earlier=Y)` in the digest and as detail lines. - **Qodo's numbered findings** live entirely in its "Code Review by Qodo" PR-level comment; its formal review carries an empty body on every round observed. Read and filtered by Qodo's own `Resolved`/`Dismissed` self-tracked badge, surfaced as `qodo_open=N` (a fast pre-triage signal per the runbook, not a substitute for reading the finding). `pr-review-conduct`'s Merge Gate (item 3) now requires triaging both the same way it already requires for Copilot's suppressed findings. ## Review history on this branch The first commit implemented the above. Before opening this PR, `local-strict-review` (the new skill from #1065/#1056) ran an adversarial pass against the full branch diff and found six real issues, all fixed in the second commit: a multi-finding CodeRabbit section silently rendering only its first finding despite the count reporting the true total, blockquote-stripping corrupting quoted shell/code content in the rendered output, an unanchored `QODO_BADGE` regex misreading a finding titled about this script's own `isResolved` identifier as self-resolved, missing window-blind handling for `qodo_open`, hardcoded login literals duplicating `OTHER_REVIEWERS`, and one vacuous test assertion. Regression tests cover each. All local gates pass: `ruff check`/`format`, `mypy`, the full `scripts/tests` suite (873 tests), `prose_lint.py --diff`, `repo_gate.py --check eol`/`eol-coverage`, `build_dist.py --check`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Expanded merge review coverage to include CodeRabbit and Qodo advisory reviews. * Recognizes qualifying reviews for the current change, including reviews with no findings. * Detects findings in outside-diff comments and comment-only reviews. * Verifies resolved or dismissed findings before allowing merges. * Review summaries now report findings, truncated reviews, and unknown review windows more clearly. * **Tests** * Added coverage for nested review content, multiple findings, reviewer-specific results, and resolved statuses. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Follow-up to #1067, prompted by Qodo's round on the develop -> main promotion PR (#1068). Qodo flagged three real style issues in content #1067 introduced: - `marker_blocks`' docstring recorded implementation history/mechanics rather than its return contract. - Two new test classes carried one-line class-summary docstrings, which `comment-and-doc-style` forbids regardless of length. - A test docstring used historical "previously read" framing instead of a present-tense invariant. `local-strict-review` against this diff (dispatched before this push) caught three more real issues in my own first pass at fixing those three: an inaccurate mechanism claim in a rewritten docstring (said "word-boundaried", the actual mechanism is the required glyph), an inverted rationale in a new inline comment, and a dangling docstring cross-reference this diff itself created. All fixed, all covered by the existing 306-test suite passing unchanged. All local gates pass: `ruff check`/`format`, `mypy`, the full `scripts/tests` suite, `prose_lint.py --diff`, `repo_gate.py --check eol`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Clarified documentation for shared review-comment block extraction and blockquote handling. * Simplified documentation for suppressed review content. * **Tests** * Refined test descriptions for review findings, including requirements for resolved-status indicators. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

🟡 Changes recommended
Two updated docstrings now contradict the implemented behavior, so the documentation needs to be corrected before promotion.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Follow-up to #1067/#1069, prompted by Copilot's round on the develop -> main promotion PR (#1068). Copilot flagged two real docstring/comment inaccuracies: - The `status` docstring's `cr_outside_diff` paragraph claimed it prints only once CodeRabbit has raised a finding, but `digest()` also prints it (as `cr_outside_diff=0+`) once the reviews window is truncated, regardless of what's currently visible. - `TestOtherReviewers`' docstring claimed "identity and commit only", contradicting its own rate-limit-marker tests, which read comment/review body content. `local-strict-review` against this diff (dispatched before this push) caught three follow-on issues in that same rewrite (a garden-path modifier, a reword that read as the opposite of what it meant, and a comment trim from the same review round that had dropped load-bearing rationale), all fixed. All covered by the existing 306-test suite passing unchanged. All local gates pass: `ruff check`/`format`, `mypy`, the full `scripts/tests` suite, `prose_lint.py --diff`, `repo_gate.py --check eol`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * CodeRabbit findings are now reported when the review window is truncated, even if no visible findings were detected. * Truncated results display the count as `0+` when applicable, making incomplete review results clearer. * **Documentation** * Clarified Qodo parser behavior and automated review-bot coverage. * Documented which review checks apply to different automated reviewers without changing parsing behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

🔵 Needs a closer look
It changes merge-gating review digestion logic and introduces new parsing of third-party reviewer outputs, which warrants final human validation despite the added tests.
