* gemini-3: default thinkingLevel to medium + don't `npm ci` without a lockfile

upstream opencode hardcodes `thinkingLevel: "high"` for every gemini-3 model on
the direct google SDK (see `packages/opencode/src/provider/transform.ts`
`options()`). that added 30-60s of pre-tool-call TTFT and 5-46s of post-tool
jabber per turn, which is overkill for the tool-routing decisions that dominate
agentic loops — and the variance caused the `providers-live (google/gemini-pro)`
smoke job to time out at 4 minutes (see job 75405504847 on run 25684766415).

three changes:

- inject `provider.google.models.<api-id>.options.thinkingConfig.thinkingLevel = "medium"`
  for the two curated gemini-3 slugs in `buildSecurityConfig`. deep-merges over
  the upstream default; explicit `--variant high` / user opencode config still
  wins. flash stays at medium too — low-effort flash is visibly worse and the
  latency win isn't meaningful (flash is already fast).
- bump the `providers-live` harness step from 4 → 6 minutes. the job-level
  8-minute cap stays as the upper bound, but gemini's intrinsic TTFT variance
  was eating most of the 4-minute slack on its own.
- in `installNodeDependencies`, pick `frozen` only when a lockfile was actually
  detected. previously a package.json-only repo (like the smoke fixture's
  `pullfrog/test-repo`) always triggered `npm ci` and emitted a noisy
  `EUSAGE` error before falling through.

* prep: skip eager install when neither lockfile nor `packageManager` field present

the previous commit changed the no-lockfile path from `npm ci` (always errored
`EUSAGE`, never wrote any artifact) to a successful `npm install`, which had
an unintended side effect: it generated `package-lock.json` in the working
tree, tripping the post-run dirty-tree gate. the agent then committed the
lockfile and opened a real PR — and in the openai/gpt smoke run on PR #663,
the agent overwrote the `SMOKE TEST PASSED` output with the PR URL, failing
the smoke validator.

a repo with `package.json` but no lockfile and no `packageManager` field has
not committed dependency state. eagerly installing produces state the repo
doesn't track, which is the dirty-tree problem above. skip the eager install
entirely in that case; the agent can opt in via `await_dependency_installation`
when it actually needs deps. repos with a lockfile or a `packageManager` field
keep the existing frozen-install behavior unchanged.

* post-run: suppress dirty-tree gate in non-committing modes (Review / IncrementalReview / Plan)

the dirty-tree post-run gate currently fires for every mode and tells the agent
to commit and push whatever is in the working tree. that's wrong for modes
that complete by submitting a review (`Review` / `IncrementalReview`) or
posting a Plan comment (`Plan`) — those modes never touch files as part of
their contract, so any tree dirt at end-of-run is incidental tool noise on an
ephemeral worktree. nudging the agent to commit it can produce a spurious PR,
as seen in the openai/gpt smoke run on PR #663 where a stray
`package-lock.json` from `npm install` led the agent to open
pullfrog/test-repo#32 and overwrite the smoke output.

introduce `NON_COMMITTING_MODES` in `action/modes.ts` and consult it in
`collectPostRunIssues`. when the selected mode is read-only, log the
suppression for visibility but skip populating `issues.dirtyTree`. modes that
legitimately commit (`Build`, `AddressReviews`, `Fix`, `ResolveConflicts`,
`Task`) keep the existing nudge.

* prep: restore eager frozen-install, drop non-frozen fallback

eager dependency prep is non-mutating by contract — it runs before the agent
starts and any artifact it leaves in the tree (e.g. a generated
`package-lock.json`) trips the dirty-tree post-run gate and can lead the agent
to open a spurious PR (seen on the openai/gpt smoke run earlier in this PR).

revert the previous skip-when-no-lockfile branch: that was the wrong layer to
enforce the invariant. instead, run `frozen` (`npm ci` / `pnpm install
--frozen-lockfile` / etc.) unconditionally and drop the `|| install` fallback
that could silently mutate the tree when `frozen` is missing. frozen commands
fail cleanly without writing artifacts when there's no lockfile, which is
exactly the safety contract we want. repos that need a real install must opt
in explicitly via a `setup` lifecycle hook.

* review nits: single getGitStatus call, tighten gemini-3 override scope comment

addresses two inline nits from the PR review:

- `collectPostRunIssues` was calling `getGitStatus()` (spawns `git status
  --porcelain`) in both branches of the mode check. lift the call above the
  conditional and branch on the result; same behavior, one git invocation.
- the JSDoc on `GEMINI_3_DIRECT_API_IDS` said the override applies "across
  the board," but the constant only covers the two curated slugs in
  `action/models.ts`. tighten the wording to call out that other gemini-3
  ids in models.dev keep the upstream "high" default.

skipped the bot's yarn-1 concern after reading yarn 1's `install.js`:
`bailout()` (lines 461-465) throws `frozenLockfileError` when
`frozenLockfile && (!lockfileClean || missingPatterns.length > 0)`, which
fires before `linker.init()` writes node_modules or runs lifecycle scripts.
the existing comment's claim that frozen commands fail without artifacts
holds for yarn 1 too.

+ * `homeEnv`), so opencode's auto-discovery scans the tmpdir, never the user's
+ * working tree. opencode's `Global.Path.config` resolves to
+ * `path.join(xdgConfig, "opencode")` and the config layer auto-discovers
+ * plugins from every directory in its scan list — including
+ * `Global.Path.config` — by globbing `{plugin,plugins}/*.{ts,js}` via

+ *
+ * We MUST NOT write into the user's repo working tree. The repo is a checkout
+ * the agent operates on; only the agent's own tools (gated by
+ * `OPENCODE_PERMISSION`) may modify it. The whole reason we redirect HOME and
+ * XDG_CONFIG_HOME is so harness-side files (config, plugins, scratch state)
+ * land in the tmpdir.
+ *
+ * Why this plugin exists: opencode's `task` tool runs subagents in-process and
+ * the CLI's `cli/cmd/run.ts` event loop filters `part.sessionID !== sessionID`,
+ * so subagent-internal `message.part.updated` events are silently discarded
+ * before reaching our parent NDJSON stream. plugins, by contrast, receive
+ * EVERY bus event via `bus.subscribeAll()` regardless of session.
+ *
+ * The plugin re-emits every relevant bus event onto opencode's stdout as a
+ * single JSON line wrapped in a sentinel envelope. our `runOpenCode` parser
+ * recognises the envelope, unpacks it, and routes the inner part through the
+ * existing handlers with a per-session label from `SessionLabeler` so each
+ * subagent's tool calls / text appear inline alongside the orchestrator's.
+ *
+ * Dumb plugin / smart parent split: the plugin emits every part for every
+ * session. the parent dedupes against the orchestrator's own session id (which
+ * it already knows from the `init` event). this keeps the plugin trivial and
+ * keeps the per-session attribution logic on the parent side where the
+ * SessionLabeler already lives.
+ *
+ * Event-name prefixing: the wrapped event-type sentinel is
+ * `pullfrog_bus_event` — picked to be unmistakably ours so a future opencode
+ * release that introduces a coincidentally-named event type won't collide.

+//   - "parameters.<field>.enum: only allowed for STRING type"

+// transforms applied here:
+//   1. add `type: "string"` to enum-only schemas. arktype emits string literal
+//      unions as `{enum: ["a","b"]}` without a `type` field — gemini requires
+//      the type declaration for any non-object schema.
+//   2. collapse `{anyOf: [{enum:["a"]}, {enum:["b"]}]}` (older arktype form)
+//      into `{type:"string", enum:[...]}`. also handles `{const:"a"}` branches.
+//   3. when `anyOf` / `oneOf` can't be collapsed, strip sibling fields (`type`,
+//      `description`, `items`, etc.) — gemini rejects `anyOf` alongside any
+//      peer keywords. see opencode #14659.
+//   4. drop `$schema` metadata and rename `$defs` → `definitions` (draft-07

+ * died between createReview(PENDING) and submitReview, the draft remains and
+ * the next run's createReview 422s with "already has a pending review".
+ * listReviews only exposes PENDING reviews to their author, so filtering on

+ * function rethrows `originalErr` so the caller surfaces the original failure.
+ * delete failures with 404 (draft already gone) or 422 (draft submitted by a
+ * concurrent caller) are swallowed — the caller's retry will succeed in both
+ * cases. any other delete error is rethrown unchanged.
+ *
+ * known limitation: if two runs on the SAME PR share the authed token and
+ * overlap in time, the loser's createReview 422s on the winner's still-active
+ * draft. recovery would then delete the winner's active draft and the
+ * winner's submitReview would 404. this is not distinguishable from a
+ * genuinely-stranded draft via the review object alone (PENDING reviews
+ * expose no created_at timestamp, and both reviews are authored by the same

+A rolling PR summary lives at \`${filePath}\`. It is your durable cross-run agent context — a functional summary of what this PR does, the subsystems and files it touches, the material behavior of its changes, and any risks or open questions worth carrying forward. It is NOT a chronological log of past review runs; commit-level history can already be reconstructed from \`${t("list_pull_request_reviews")}\`.
+
+How to use it:
+
+- read \`${filePath}\` at the START of the run, alongside the diff. it represents what previous agent runs already understood about this PR — absorb it before picking lenses or crafting subagent dispatch prompts. if it's a fresh seed (file is one or two lines), this is a first review and you'll be filling it in from the diff.
+- let the snapshot inform triage and dispatch. when it already tracks a risk, your lens prompts to subagents are stronger when they reference that context (e.g. "the JSDoc explicitly scopes to code points — do not flag grapheme-cluster issues" if the snapshot already documents that contract). when something the snapshot tracks is now resolved by new commits, note that. when new commits introduce something the snapshot doesn't yet describe, that's exactly where your fan-out should focus.
+- update the file in place to reflect the PR's CURRENT state. revise stale claims, drop resolved risks, add new behavior or risks. accuracy over breadth — every claim must be grounded in the diff. write for the next agent run, not for a human.
+- structure however serves THIS PR. there is no required section template. a refactor might organize by renamed export and call-site impact; a feature by capability; a billing change by money path. a compact note of which commit ranges have been reviewed should always be present so future runs scope correctly, but the rest is your call. when the structure works across runs, keep it stable so range-diffs are clean; when the PR's character changes (e.g. scope expands), reshape.
+
+Do NOT call \`${t("create_issue_comment")}\` for the summary — the server reads this file at end-of-run and persists it. The file edit is mandatory regardless of whether a review is submitted; the snapshot feeds the next run.`;

-   - verify only intended changes are present, no debug artifacts or commented-out code remain, and no unrelated files were modified
-   - commit locally via shell (\`git add . && git commit -m "..."\`)
+5. **self-review**: judgment call — does YOUR diff warrant a fresh-eyes pass?
 
-5. **finalize**:
+   Skip self-review (commit directly) when the diff is **genuinely trivial**:
+   - doc typos, comment-only edits, whitespace/format-only, import reordering
+   - lockfile or generated-code regeneration, mechanical rename whose only effect is import-path updates (size of diff is irrelevant — read the *shape*, not the line count)
+   - low-risk dep patch bump from a trusted source
+
+   Run self-review when the diff has **any behavioral surface, however small**:
+   - 1-line changes to SQL operators / comparison logic / regexes / redirects / HTTP methods / response codes
+   - any change to money / tax / currency / billing / fee / refund / payout calculations or constants
+   - any change to auth / permissions / roles / sessions / tokens / signature verification
+   - any change to feature-flag defaults, retry counts, timeouts, rate limits, batch sizes
+   - new endpoints, new code paths, new error branches — even small ones
+   - mixed diffs (whitespace + a single semantic line) — the semantic line still triggers self-review
+   - anything you're uncertain about
+
+   Tie-breaker: when in doubt, run self-review. One false-positive subagent dispatch costs cents; one false-negative shipped bug costs much more. There's no value in dispatching for a typo, but there's also no excuse for skipping on a 1-line change to a billing path.
+
+   Otherwise delegate the \`${REVIEWER_AGENT_NAME}\` subagent to review your diff with fresh eyes against YOUR TASK. The subagent's baked-in system prompt enforces a non-mutative + non-recursive contract: read-only file/search/web tools and read-only MCP queries only; no writes, shell side effects, state-changing MCP calls, or nested subagent dispatch. Enforcement is prose-only — restate the constraint in your dispatch instructions and do not relax it.
+
+   Provide the subagent with YOUR TASK, the output of \`git diff\`, and a tight summary (not raw output) of any lint/typecheck/test failures you fixed during build — what broke, root cause, the fix — so it can check that fixes addressed root causes rather than suppressed symptoms; say "no build-phase failures" if the build path was clean. Instruct it to flag bugs, logic errors, missing edge cases, gaps between request and diff, and unintended changes.
+
+   Delegation + research discipline (distilled from \`/anneal\` canonical — these are codified learnings from many review rounds, not theoretical best practices):
+   - Do NOT summarize what you implemented — that biases the subagent toward validating the shape of your solution rather than questioning it.
+   - Do NOT curate a reading list of files. Let the subagent discover scope from the diff and codebase.
+   - Do NOT pre-shape output with a severity / category schema. That leaks your hypotheses; severity is your call during evaluation.
+   - Do NOT defect-hunt the diff yourself in parallel with the subagent. Your role is dispatch + evaluation; doing the review yourself reintroduces the implementation bias the subagent is meant to mitigate.
+   - For diffs that rely on third-party API contracts, SDK semantics, framework directives, or DB engine specifics, instruct the subagent to verify load-bearing claims via web search and quote source URLs rather than trust training data — this is the single most common review-quality failure mode.
+
+   Review the findings, address valid points, and discard nitpicks or false positives. The reviewer is fallible — it biases toward *recommending additions* (defensive checks for impossible cases, extra logging, new abstractions used once, comments restating code, tests asserting tautologies, "just-in-case" guards). For each finding, ask: would applying it leave the code more sound, correct, AND elegant? Two-out-of-three is usually a signal to look harder for a fix that gets all three before settling for one that trades elegance for correctness. Reject bloat-shaped findings without applying them, and after applying the rest re-read your diff and be discerning about what *you just changed*: if any fix turned out to be bloat in context, revert it. The goal is code that is sound and correct *while remaining elegant*; the smallest diff that fixes the real defect almost always wins. Then verify only intended changes are present, no debug artifacts or commented-out code remain, no unrelated files were modified. Commit locally via shell (\`git add . && git commit -m "..."\`).
+
+6. **finalize**:
    - confirm a clean working tree, then push via \`${t("push_branch")}\` (see *SYSTEM* Git rules if this fails — prepush errors are usually the repo's tests/lint, not infra timeouts)

-   - use \`${t("get_pull_request")}\` and other read-only GitHub tools for additional context
-   - if the PR removes features, deletes exports, renames identifiers, or changes architectural patterns, run a dedicated impact analysis: list what changed, then use grep across code, tests, docs (\`docs/\`, \`wiki/\`), comments, configs, and UI to find stale references
-   - report impact-analysis findings in the summary body, ordered by severity (runtime breakage > incorrect docs > stale comments)
-   - draft inline comments with NEW line numbers from the diff — every comment must be actionable (2-3 sentences max)
-   - use GitHub permalink format for code references
-   - for large or cross-cutting PRs that touch disparate subsystems, consider delegating read-only subagents to investigate areas in parallel. subagents must ONLY read files, grep, and search — no MCP tools, no writes, no shell commands, no side effects. collect their findings and use them to draft comments.
+2. **checkout**: call \`${t("checkout_pr")}\` — this returns PR metadata and a \`diffPath\`. read the diff TOC end-to-end and treat its file line ranges as your coverage checklist.
 
-3. Self-critique: review all drafted comments and drop any that are praise, style preferences, speculative/unverified claims, about pre-existing code unrelated to the PR, or not actionable.
+3. **triage**: orient yourself on the PR — identify *what kind of thing this is* (domain it touches, seams it crosses, external contracts it depends on, user-facing surfaces it changes). orientation only — defer specific defect-hunting to the subagents; pre-reviewing biases the lenses you pick. use \`${t("get_pull_request")}\` and other read-only GitHub tools for additional context if needed.

-   Do NOT call \`report_progress\` — the review is the final record and the progress
-   comment will be cleaned up automatically.
+   if the PR is **genuinely trivial**, skip steps 4–5 entirely and submit a \`No new issues found.\` review per step 6. there's no value in dispatching even one lens for a typo.
 
-   - **critical issues** (blocks merge — bugs, security, data loss):
-     \`approved: false\`. Body begins with a GitHub alert blockquote, e.g.:
-     \`> [!CAUTION]\\n> This PR introduces a race condition in ...\`
-     Follow with a brief summary if needed. Include all inline comments.
-   - **recommended changes** (non-critical):
-     \`approved: false\`. Body begins with a GitHub alert blockquote, e.g.:
-     \`> [!IMPORTANT]\\n> Consider adding input validation for ...\`
-     Follow with a brief summary if needed. Include all inline comments.
+   "Genuinely trivial" (skip):
+   - single-word doc typo, whitespace/format-only, comment-only across any number of files
+   - lockfile or generated-code regeneration (size of diff is irrelevant — read the *shape*)
+   - mechanical rename whose only effect is import-path updates
+   - low-risk dep patch bump
+
+   "Looks trivial but isn't" (do **NOT** skip — small diff, big blast radius):
+   - any 1-line change to SQL / regex / auth / billing / permission / signature-verification code
+   - flipping a feature-flag default, default config value, or retry/timeout constant
+   - changing a money/tax/currency/fee constant by any amount
+   - changing an HTTP method, redirect URL, response code, or status enum
+   - tightening or loosening a comparison operator (\`<\` ↔ \`<=\`, \`==\` ↔ \`!=\`)
+   - renaming a public API surface (still trivial in shape, but needs an impact lens)
+   - adding a new direct dependency (supply-chain surface)
+   - any "typo fix" in user-facing copy that changes meaning ("approved" → "denied")
+   - mixed diffs where a semantic 1-liner is buried in whitespace/formatting changes
+
+   When unsure, treat as non-trivial. The cost of one extra subagent is cents; the cost of a missed billing/auth/data bug is much more.
+
+   otherwise pick lenses by where the PR concentrates risk — **there's no fixed count**. lens count is judgment, not a formula. concrete shapes to anchor against:
+
+   - **1 lens** — pure refactor / mechanical rename across many files (impact); new test file with no source change (test-integrity); small isolated bug fix (correctness); doc-only PR with non-trivial technical content (research-validated or holistic)
+   - **2–3 lenses (most PRs land here)** — new CRUD endpoint (correctness + security + test-integrity); new UI flow (user-journey + correctness); a single bug fix in a non-critical subsystem (correctness + test-integrity); design doc covering one domain (research-validated + correctness or holistic)
+   - **4–5 lenses (high-stakes subsystem touches)** — any billing/payments change (billing-subsystem + correctness + security + operational-readiness); new auth flow (auth-subsystem + correctness + security + test-integrity); schema migration (schema-migration-subsystem + correctness + operational-readiness + impact); cross-subsystem PR that touches billing AND auth AND schema (one subsystem lens per domain + correctness)
+   - **6+ lenses** — almost always a smell; you're either covering overlapping ground or this PR should have been split. push back via the review body rather than expanding lens count.
+
+   lenses come in two flavors, and you can mix them:
+   - **themed lenses** — a perspective applied across the whole diff (correctness, security, user-journey, performance, etc.).
+   - **subsystem lenses** — a domain-scoped frame for high-stakes subsystems the PR touches (e.g. "the auth lens", "the billing lens", "the schema-migration lens"). a subsystem lens is "review the PR specifically for what could go wrong in this subsystem" and naturally combines theme + scope. **for high-stakes domains, lead with the subsystem lens rather than the generic themed equivalent** — "billing-subsystem" outperforms "correctness on billing code" because the framing primes the subagent to remember domain-specific failure modes (double-charges, refund races, currency rounding, dispute flows) the generic lens misses.
+
+   starter menu (combine, omit, or invent your own):
+   - **correctness & invariants** — bugs, races, error handling, edge cases, state-machine boundaries
+   - **impact** — when the PR removes features, deletes exports, renames identifiers, or changes architectural patterns: stale references in code, tests, docs (\`docs/\`, \`wiki/\`), comments, configs, UI
+   - **research-validated assumptions** — third-party API contracts, SDK semantics, framework directives, version-gated behavior. the subagent must verify load-bearing claims via web search and quote source URLs.
+   - **security** — new endpoints, authZ, input validation, secrets handling, replay/CSRF/injection, cross-tenant isolation
+   - **user-journey** — UX-touching flows: walk through happy path and failure modes as a user
+   - **operational readiness** — observability, alerting, migrations (forward + rollback), feature flags, on-call burden
+   - **integration & cross-cutting** — API contracts between modules, backward-compat of public surfaces, multi-service ordering
+   - **test integrity** — meaningful coverage for the changed behavior; deterministic; no shared-state pollution
+   - **performance** — N+1 queries, hot-path allocation, latency budgets, index coverage
+   - **holistic** — does the PR make sense as a whole? symmetric flows (delete for every create, rollback for every migration)?
+   - **subsystem lenses** (invent as the PR demands) — auth, billing, payments, schema migration, webhooks, secrets, RBAC, multi-tenant isolation, cron/scheduling, etc.
+
+4. **fan out**: dispatch one \`${REVIEWER_AGENT_NAME}\` subagent per lens — its baked-in system prompt enforces the non-mutative + non-recursive contract (read-only file/search/web tools and read-only MCP queries; no writes, shell side effects, state-changing MCP calls, or nested subagent dispatch). when picking 2+ lenses, dispatch them in a **single assistant turn with multiple parallel subagent calls**; issuing one and awaiting reply before the next collapses the fan-out into a serial review. if a subagent errors out, times out, or returns nothing usable, retry once with the same lens; if it still fails, proceed with partial coverage and note the missing lens in the review body — do not skip step 4 entirely on a single subagent failure. each subagent gets:
+   - the diff path / target — reading the diff and the codebase is its job
+   - **only one lens** — never a multi-section "review for X, Y, and Z" prompt
+   - **a Task \`description\` set to the lens name** (e.g. \`"security"\`, \`"correctness"\`, \`"billing-subsystem"\`) — the harness reads this field to label the subagent's log lines so parallel runs can be told apart in CI output. without it, every subagent shows up as \`subagent#N\`.
+   - the read-only contract restated in your dispatch instructions so the rule is present twice (the subagent's system prompt also enforces it). The test: would this call still be a no-op if reverted? If not (PR comments, branch pushes, issue updates, set_output, label changes, dependency installs, etc.), don't make it.
+   - if the lens touches external contracts, instruct the subagent to verify load-bearing claims via web search rather than trust training data, and to quote source URLs in its reasoning. action runs are non-interactive — there's no human in the loop to catch "I'm pretty sure Stripe does X."
+   - ask the subagent to report findings with file paths and NEW line numbers from the diff so you can anchor inline comments without re-reading the entire diff.
+
+   delegation discipline:
+   - do NOT lens-review the diff yourself in parallel with the subagents (your job is dispatch + comment-drafting; doing the lens work yourself reintroduces the bias the fan-out avoids)
+   - do NOT summarize the PR for them (biases toward a validation frame)
+   - do NOT hand them a curated reading list (let them discover scope)
+   - do NOT pre-shape their output with a finding schema
+   - do NOT mention the other lenses (independence is the point — overlapping findings are a strong signal)
+
+5. **aggregate & draft**: merge findings; de-dup overlaps (two lenses catching the same issue = higher-confidence signal); trace each finding yourself before accepting it. drop praise, style preferences, speculative/unverified claims, findings about pre-existing code unrelated to the PR (heuristic: if the finding's root cause lives in lines this PR added or modified, it's in scope; otherwise drop unless the PR plausibly introduced or amplified the regression), and anything not actionable. also drop **bloat-shaped findings** — proposed fixes that would add defensive checks for cases that can't happen, abstractions used once, comments restating obvious code, tests asserting tautologies, or "just-in-case" guards. subagents are fallible and bias toward recommending changes; the bar for an actionable inline comment is sound + correct + elegant. recommending a change that improves only one of the three (or worse, degrades elegance to nominally improve correctness) makes the codebase worse, not better.
+
+   for surviving findings, draft inline comments with NEW line numbers from the diff. every comment must be actionable, 2-3 sentences max. use GitHub permalink format for code references. for impact-analysis findings (stale references after rename/remove), report them in the review body ordered by severity (runtime breakage > incorrect docs > stale comments) rather than as inline comments unless they're anchored to a specific line.
+
+6. **submit**: ALWAYS submit exactly one review via \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\`. Do NOT call \`report_progress\` — the review is the final record and the progress comment will be cleaned up automatically.
+
+   note: the first create_pull_request_review submission may error with a one-time diff-coverage nudge listing unread TOC regions. retry the same call to proceed — optionally after reading the listed ranges. the pre-flight will not block again this session.
+
+   The review body is structured as: \`[optional alert blockquote]\` → \`[PR summary using the default format below]\`. Inline comments are passed via the \`comments\` parameter, not in the body.
+
+   GitHub alert blockquotes render at four visual intensities — the callout is what the author sees first, so pick the one that matches what you want them to do:
+
+   - \`[!CAUTION]\` — large red banner. Reads as "this will break something."
+   - \`[!IMPORTANT]\` — large purple banner. Reads as "you need to look at this before merging."
+   - \`[!NOTE]\` — small blue inline callout. Reads as "FYI, here's something worth noting."
+   - no callout — plain text. Reads as routine review output.
+
+   Two reinforcing levers: callout intensity (above) and \`approved\` (which gates the footer Fix-button affordance — Fix renders on every non-approving review, so \`approved: true\` suppresses it). Wrapping mergeable feedback in \`[!IMPORTANT]\` trains users to click Fix on reviews that don't need fixing. Pick the tier the author's actual next action justifies.
+
+   - **critical issues** (blocks merge — bugs, security, data loss, broken core flows):
+     \`approved: false\`. Body opens with \`> [!CAUTION]\\n> This PR introduces ...\`, followed by the PR summary. Include all inline comments via \`comments\`.
+   - **must-address non-critical findings** (real consequences if shipped — incorrect behavior in non-critical paths, missing validation on user input, regressions the author should fix before merge):
+     \`approved: false\`. Body opens with \`> [!IMPORTANT]\\n> ...\`, followed by the PR summary. Reserve this tier for findings with concrete fallout — do NOT use \`[!IMPORTANT]\` for nits, style preferences, or "consider also" suggestions. Include all inline comments via \`comments\`.
+   - **minor suggestions only** (single-line nits, doc/comment polish, defer-able observations, "rough edges"):
+     \`approved: false\`. NO alert blockquote. Body opens directly with the PR summary. Include all inline comments via \`comments\`.
+   - **informational observations** (mergeable as-is, nothing actionable — e.g. prior feedback addressed cleanly, surfacing a minor stale doc reference, calling out something noteworthy without recommending a change):
+     \`approved: true\`. Body opens with \`> [!NOTE]\\n> ...\`, followed by the PR summary. Do NOT include inline \`comments\` — \`[!NOTE]\` signals "no action needed", which contradicts an actionable anchor; if a point is concrete enough to anchor to a line, downgrade the whole review to "minor suggestions only" (\`approved: false\`) instead.
    - **no actionable issues**:
-     \`approved: true\`, body: "Reviewed — no issues found."`,

+3. **incremental scope**: if \`incrementalDiffPath\` is present, read it to see what changed since the last review. this is a range-diff that isolates the net changes, filtering out base branch noise. if not present, fall back to reviewing the full PR diff and determine what changed since Pullfrog's most recent review.
 
-4. For each area of the new changes:
-   - review the incremental diff while using the full diff for context
-   - check whether prior review feedback was addressed by the new commits
-   - trace data flow, check boundaries, verify assumptions, consider lifecycle, spot performance issues
-   - if the new commits remove, rename, or deprecate anything, run impact analysis with grep across code/tests/docs/comments/configs to find stale references and include those findings in the summary body
-   - never repeat prior feedback. only comment on genuinely new issues introduced by the new commits.
-   - draft inline comments with NEW line numbers from the full PR diff — every comment must be actionable (2-3 sentences max)
-   - for large or cross-cutting PRs, consider delegating read-only subagents for parallel investigation. subagents must ONLY read files, grep, and search — no MCP tools, no writes, no shell commands, no side effects. collect their findings and use them to draft comments.
+4. **prior feedback**: fetch previous reviews via \`${t("list_pull_request_reviews")}\`. for the most recent Pullfrog review, call \`${t("get_review_comments")}\` with the review ID to retrieve specific prior line-level feedback. you'll use this to filter your aggregation in step 6 — anything already flagged in a prior review and not changed by the new commits should not be re-raised. you do NOT need to render this in the review body; the rolling PR summary snapshot is the durable record of what's been addressed.
 
-5. Self-critique: drop any comments that are praise, style preferences, speculative, about pre-existing code, or not actionable.
+5. **triage & fan out**: orient on the *incremental* changes — domain, seams, external contracts, user-facing surfaces.
 
-6. **Summarize**: build two distinct sections for the review body:
-   a. **Reviewed changes**: summarize at the logical-change level, not per-file. each bullet starts with a past-tense verb (e.g. \`- Extracted shared CLI runtime into a single module\`, \`- Renamed package to pullfrog\`). avoid file paths unless they add clarity. if the changes can be described in one sentence, use one sentence — no bullets needed.
-   b. **Prior review feedback** (only if any were addressed): list only the prior review comments that WERE addressed by the new commits (\`- [x] safeParse instead of parse — addressed\`). omit unaddressed comments. omit this entire section if nothing was addressed. a change can appear in both sections.
-   - no headings, no tables, no prose paragraphs in either section — just bullets
-   - in some cases you may receive a complete diff for the whole pull request instead of an incremental one. when this happens, you will need to determine what changes have happened since Pullfrog's most recent review.
+   if the incremental changes are **genuinely trivial**, skip the fan-out entirely and jump to step 8's non-substantive path (do NOT submit a review).
 
-7. Submit — Do NOT call \`report_progress\` or \`create_issue_comment\` — the review is the final record and the progress comment will be cleaned up automatically. the review body always includes the reviewed changes from step 6a. append \`Prior review feedback:\\n\` with the checklist from step 6b only if any prior comments were addressed. Follow these rules:
-   - IF NO NEW ISSUES, NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES ONLY (trivial formatting, import reordering, comment tweaks): do NOT submit a review. Do NOT call \`report_progress\`. Exit — the progress comment will be cleaned up automatically.
-   - ELSE IF NEW CRITICAL ISSUES (blocks merge): call \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` with \`approved: false\`, all comments, and the review body. body opens with a GitHub alert blockquote (e.g. \`> [!CAUTION]\\n> This PR introduces ...\`), then the reviewed changes summary and prior feedback (if any).
-   - ELSE IF NEW RECOMMENDED CHANGES (non-critical): call \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` with \`approved: false\`, all comments, and the review body. body opens with \`> [!IMPORTANT]\\n> ...\` alert, then the reviewed changes summary and prior feedback (if any).
-   - ELSE IF NO NEW ISSUES, SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES (new functionality, behavior changes, or fixes to prior review feedback): call \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` to create a PR review. If all previous reviews have been properly addressed and no new issues were discovered, you can set \`approved: true\`. body opens with \`No new issues. Reviewed the following changes:\\n\`, then the reviewed changes summary and prior feedback (if any).`,
+   "Genuinely trivial" (skip): formatting/comment tweaks, import reordering, lockfile regen, mechanical rename of import paths, whitespace-only.
+   "Looks trivial but isn't" (do NOT skip — same anti-patterns as Review mode): 1-line changes to SQL/regex/auth/billing/permissions/signature-verification code; flipping feature-flag defaults or retry/timeout constants; money/tax/HTTP-method/redirect changes; tightening or loosening a comparison operator; mixed diffs with a semantic line buried in formatting.
+   When unsure, treat as non-trivial.
+
+   otherwise pick lenses by where the new commits concentrate risk — **there's no fixed count**, same calibration as Review mode (1 lens for pure refactor / isolated fix; 2–3 for typical features; 4–5 for high-stakes subsystem touches; 6+ is a smell). lens framing follows Review mode: themed lenses (correctness & invariants, impact when new commits remove/rename/deprecate things, research-validated assumptions, security, user-journey, operational readiness, integration & cross-cutting, test integrity, performance, holistic) and subsystem lenses (auth, billing, schema migration, etc.) — for high-stakes domains lead with the subsystem lens rather than the generic themed equivalent.
+
+   dispatch one \`${REVIEWER_AGENT_NAME}\` subagent per lens — its baked-in system prompt enforces the non-mutative + non-recursive contract (read-only file/search/web tools and read-only MCP queries; no writes, shell side effects, state-changing MCP calls, or nested subagent dispatch). dispatch them in a **single assistant turn with multiple parallel subagent calls** (serial dispatch collapses the fan-out). if a subagent errors out, times out, or returns nothing usable, retry once with the same lens; if it still fails, proceed with partial coverage and note the missing lens in the review body — do not skip step 5 entirely on a single subagent failure. each subagent gets:
+   - the diff scope (incremental diff path if available, full diff otherwise). do NOT tell them to skip pre-existing issues — that suppresses regressions the new commits amplified; the "issues must be NEW" filter lives at aggregation time (step 6), not in the subagent prompt
+   - **only one lens** — never a multi-section "review for X, Y, and Z" prompt
+   - **a Task \`description\` set to the lens name** (e.g. \`"security"\`, \`"correctness"\`, \`"billing-subsystem"\`) — the harness reads this field to label the subagent's log lines so parallel runs can be told apart in CI output. without it, every subagent shows up as \`subagent#N\`.
+   - the read-only contract restated in your dispatch instructions so the rule is present twice (the subagent's system prompt also enforces it). The test: would this call still be a no-op if reverted? If not (PR comments, branch pushes, issue updates, set_output, label changes, dependency installs, etc.), don't make it.
+   - if the lens touches external contracts, instruct the subagent to verify load-bearing claims via web search and quote source URLs. action runs are non-interactive — there's no human to catch "I'm pretty sure Stripe does X."
+   - ask the subagent to report findings with file paths and NEW line numbers from the full PR diff so you can anchor inline comments.
+
+   delegation discipline:
+   - do NOT lens-review the diff yourself in parallel with the subagents
+   - do NOT summarize the changes for them (biases toward validation frame)
+   - do NOT hand them a curated reading list (let them discover scope)
+   - do NOT pre-shape their output with a finding schema
+   - do NOT mention the other lenses (independence is the point)
+
+6. **aggregate, draft, self-critique**: merge findings; de-dup overlaps; trace each finding yourself. drop praise, style preferences, speculative/unverified claims, findings about pre-existing code unrelated to the new commits, anything not actionable, and anything that re-states prior review feedback (heuristic: if the finding's root cause lives in lines the *new commits* added or modified, it's in scope; otherwise drop). also drop **bloat-shaped findings** — proposed fixes that would add defensive checks for cases that can't happen, abstractions used once, comments restating obvious code, tests asserting tautologies, or "just-in-case" guards. subagents are fallible and bias toward recommending changes; the bar for an actionable inline comment is sound + correct + elegant. recommending a change that improves only one of the three (or degrades elegance to nominally improve correctness) makes the codebase worse, not better. To compute "lines the new commits added or modified": if \`incrementalDiffPath\` from step 2 is present, use it directly. Otherwise, take the prior Pullfrog review's \`commit_id\` (returned alongside each entry from \`${t("list_pull_request_reviews")}\` in step 4) and run \`git diff <prior-review-sha>..HEAD\` to isolate the lines added since that review. draft inline comments with NEW line numbers from the full PR diff — every comment must be actionable, 2-3 sentences max.
+
+7. **build the review body** — a single "Reviewed changes" section: summarize at the logical-change level, not per-file. each bullet starts with a past-tense verb (e.g. \`- Extracted shared CLI runtime into a single module\`, \`- Renamed package to pullfrog\`). avoid file paths unless they add clarity. if the changes can be described in one sentence, use one sentence — no bullets needed. do NOT include a separate "Prior review feedback" checklist; that's tracked in the rolling PR summary snapshot for the next agent run, and surfacing it in the user-facing body is noise (changes that addressed prior feedback are already covered by the Reviewed-changes bullets). in some cases you may receive a complete diff for the whole pull request instead of an incremental one — when this happens, you will need to determine what changes have happened since Pullfrog's most recent review.
+
+8. Submit — every run must end with EXACTLY ONE of \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` (substantive review) or \`${t("report_progress")}\` (no-review acknowledgement). do NOT call \`create_issue_comment\` for review output.
+
+   Same callout-intensity ladder as Review mode — \`[!CAUTION]\` (large red, "will break") → \`[!IMPORTANT]\` (large purple, "must address before merging") → \`[!NOTE]\` (small blue, "FYI") → no callout (plain text). And the same Fix-button lever: the footer renders a Fix button on every non-approving review, so \`approved: true\` suppresses it. Wrapping mergeable feedback in \`[!IMPORTANT]\` trains users to click Fix on reviews that don't need fixing — pick the tier the author's actual next action justifies.
+
+   Follow these rules:
+   - note: the first create_pull_request_review submission may error with a one-time diff-coverage nudge listing unread TOC regions. retry the same call to proceed — optionally after reading the listed ranges. the pre-flight will not block again this session.
+   - IF NO NEW ISSUES, NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES ONLY (trivial formatting, import reordering, comment tweaks): do NOT submit a review. Instead call \`${t("report_progress")}\` with a 1-2 sentence note explaining no review was warranted (e.g. "No new issues. Changes since last review are formatting-only."). this leaves a visible signal that the run completed.
+   - ELSE IF NEW CRITICAL ISSUES (blocks merge — bugs, security, data loss, broken core flows): call \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` with \`approved: false\`, all comments, and the review body. body opens with \`> [!CAUTION]\\n> This PR introduces ...\`, then the Reviewed-changes summary.
+   - ELSE IF NEW MUST-ADDRESS NON-CRITICAL FINDINGS (real consequences if shipped — incorrect behavior, missing validation, regressions the author should fix before merge): call \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` with \`approved: false\`, all comments, and the review body. body opens with \`> [!IMPORTANT]\\n> ...\`, then the Reviewed-changes summary. Do NOT use this tier for nits, style preferences, or "consider also" suggestions.
+   - ELSE IF NEW MINOR SUGGESTIONS ONLY (single-line nits, doc/comment polish, defer-able observations, "rough edges"): call \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` with \`approved: false\`, all comments, and the review body. body opens directly with \`Reviewed the following changes:\\n\` (NO alert blockquote), then the Reviewed-changes summary.
+   - ELSE IF INFORMATIONAL OBSERVATIONS (mergeable as-is, but worth surfacing — e.g. prior feedback addressed cleanly with one minor stale doc reference, or a noteworthy positive observation): call \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` with \`approved: true\`, NO inline comments, and the review body. body opens with \`> [!NOTE]\\n> ...\` alert, then the Reviewed-changes summary. If a point is concrete enough to anchor to a line, downgrade the whole review to "minor suggestions only" (\`approved: false\`) instead — \`[!NOTE]\` and inline comments don't mix.
+   - ELSE IF NO NEW ISSUES, SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES (new functionality, behavior changes, or fixes to prior review feedback): call \`${t("create_pull_request_review")}\` to create a PR review. If all previous reviews have been properly addressed and no new issues were discovered, you can set \`approved: true\`. body opens with \`No new issues.

+name: git-archaeology
+description: Investigate how code reached its current state — when a line, function, import, or whole file was changed or deleted, who removed it, and what it looked like before. Use when `git blame` came up empty, when content has been refactored away, or when you need the full evolution of a function across commits.
+---
+
+# Git history archaeology
+
+`git blame` only sees what's still in the working tree. For anything that was
+deleted, moved, or refactored away, you need the commands below. Most agents
+under-use them and end up scrolling through `git log -p` instead.
+
+## Output discipline (read first)
+
+`git log -p` on a long-lived file can dump tens of thousands of lines and blow
+the context window. Always:
+
+1. **Start narrow.** Use `--oneline` or `--stat` to get a list of candidate
+   commits.
+2. **Drill in.** Use `git show <sha> -- <path>` for the diff of one specific
+   commit.
+3. **Scope the search.** Add `--since="3 months ago"`, `-n 20`, or a path
+   restriction (`-- <path>`) so output stays manageable.
+4. **Avoid `git log -p` without a path filter** on any non-trivial repo.
+
+## Decision tree (by agent intent)
+
+### "When did this exact line, string, or import disappear?"
+
+```bash
+git log -S'<exact-string>' --oneline -- <file>
+```
+
+The pickaxe. Returns commits that **changed the count** of that string in the
+file. The most recent hit is typically the removal commit. Add `-p` only after
+you've narrowed to a few candidates.
+
+Notes:
+- `-S` is exact-string by default. Add `--pickaxe-regex` to make it a regex.
+- The argument is "cuddled" with `-S` (`-S'foo bar'`), no space.
+- `-S` will not detect pure in-file moves (count unchanged). Use `-G` for that.
+- `--pickaxe-all` shows the entire changeset of matching commits, useful when
+  a commit changes both a definition and its call sites in other files.
+
+### "When did the diff stop matching this regex?"
+
+```bash
+git log -G'<regex>' --oneline -- <file>
+```
+
+Like `-S` but matches any added or removed hunk line against the regex. Use
+`-G` when:
+- You don't know the exact string but know a pattern.
+- You want to catch in-file moves (`-S` won't).
+- You want to find any diff that touched a pattern, even if the count was
+  preserved (e.g., a refactor that changed call sites without removing the
+  function).
+
+### "How did this function evolve over time?"
+
+```bash
+git log -L :<function-name>:<file>
+```
+
+Every commit that touched the function, with diffs scoped to just the function
+body. Works for languages git understands (most mainstream ones).
+
+### "How did lines N–M evolve?"
+
+```bash
+git log -L <N>,<M>:<file>
+```
+
+### "What's the full history of this file, including across renames?"
+
+```bash
+git log --follow --oneline -- <file>      # overview
+git log --follow -p -- <file>             # with diffs (use sparingly)
+```
+
+`--follow` only works for a single file, not directories.
+
+### "Where was a now-deleted line last present?"
+
+Two-step pattern when you have an exact deleted string:
+
+```bash
+# 1. find a historical commit that contained the string
+git log -S'<deleted-string>' --oneline --all -- <file>
+
+# 2. reverse-blame from that commit to find the last commit it survived in
+git blame --reverse <old-sha>..HEAD -- <file>
+```
+
+The reverse blame tells you, for each line, the last commit it survived in
+before being modified or deleted. Pinpoints the exact deletion commit.
+
+### "This file no longer exists — when was it deleted, and what was in it?"
+
+```bash
+# find all commits that touched the path, even on other branches
+git log --all --full-history --oneline -- <deleted-path>
+
+# the most recent of those is usually the deletion. confirm:
+git show <sha> --stat
+
+# view the file's contents at any commit where it existed
+git show <sha>^:<deleted-path>
+```
+
+If you don't know the path, find it from filename alone:
+
+```bash
+# list all delete events with paths
+git log --all --diff-filter=D --summary | grep -i '<filename>'
+
+# or glob across all branches
+git log --all --oneline -- '**/<filename>.*'
+```
+
+### "Who deleted it, in one shot?"
+
+```bash
+git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- <deleted-path>     # the deletion commit
+git show $(git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- <deleted-path>) -- <deleted-path>
+```
+
+### "Restore a deleted file (locally, no commit)"
+
+```bash
+git restore --source=<deletion-sha>^ -- <deleted-path>
+# or, on older git:
+git checkout <deletion-sha>^ -- <deleted-path>
+```
+
+The `^` is critical — at the deletion commit the file is already gone, so we
+read from its parent.
+
+### "Search commit messages, not content"
+
+```bash
+git log --all --grep='<text>' --oneline
+git log --all --grep='<text>' -i --oneline    # case-insensitive
+```
+
+Orthogonal to `-S`/`-G`, which only see the diff.
+
+## Standard workflow for "why does this code look like this"
+
+1. `git log --follow --oneline -- <file>` — overview of commits touching it.
+2. If a recent commit looks suspicious: `git show <sha> -- <file>`.
+3. If you expected to find something and it's missing:
+   `git log -S'<expected-string>' --oneline -- <file>`.
+4. For a specific function's full lifecycle:
+   `git log -L :<fn>:<file>`.
+5. For the deletion point of a known string: pickaxe to find an old commit
+   that contained it, then `git blame --reverse <old-sha>..HEAD -- <file>`.
+
+## Useful flags reference
+
+| Flag | Effect |
+|------|--------|
+| `--all` | Search all refs, not just the current branch. Use when investigating something that may have lived only on a feature branch. |
+| `--full-history` | Keeps commits that history-simplification would otherwise drop. Needed for accurate history across merges. |
+| `--follow` | Track a single file across renames. Single-file only. |
+| `-M` / `-C` | Detect renames (`-M`) and copies (`-C`) when reading diffs. |
+| `--diff-filter=D` | Restrict to commits that **deleted** something. `A`=added, `M`=modified, `R`=renamed. |
+| `--source` | When combined with `--all`, annotate each commit with the ref it was reached from. |
+| `--pickaxe-all` | With `-S`/`-G`, show all files in the matching commit, not just the matching file. |
+| `--pickaxe-regex` | Treat the `-S` argument as a regex. |
+| `--since` / `--until` | Time-bound the search. Cheap perf win on big repos. |
+| `-n <count>` | Cap result count. |
+| `--stat` | Per-commit file stats instead of full patches. Good first pass. |
+
+## Notes and pitfalls
+
+- Always include `--` before paths to disambiguate from refs (e.g.
+  `git log -S'foo' -- src/auth.ts`).
+- `-S` triggers on **count change**. A pure refactor that moves a line within
+  the same file will not match. Use `-G` for those.
+- `-G` runs diff twice and greps; it's slower than `-S`. Scope with paths and
+  `--since` on big repos.
+- Without `--all`, `git log -- <path>` shows nothing if the path never existed
+  on the current branch. When in doubt, add `--all`.
+- `git log --full-history -- <path>` alone has had bugs in some git versions
+  for deleted files; pair with `--all` for reliability.
+- For files that were renamed, `git log -- <new-path>` only shows post-rename
+  history. Use `--follow` (one file) or `git log --all -- <old-path>` when
+  hunting across rename events.
