bump action version to 0.0.203

releases the Review/IncrementalReview no-progress carve-out in
action/utils/run.ts (71dff24c) that has been sitting unpublished in
main since May 4. fixes the long-standing false-failure where Review

even after successfully submitting a review (issue #569).

+// 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

+4. **self-review**: judgment call — does YOUR diff warrant a fresh-eyes pass?
+
+   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 not enough — a fix that improves correctness while degrading elegance still degrades the codebase. 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 "..."\`).

-2. For each area of change:
-   - read the diff and trace data flow, check boundaries, and verify assumptions
-   - plan your investigation: identify the highest-risk areas (tricky state transitions, boundary crossings, assumption chains) and prioritize depth over breadth
-   - use \`${t("get_pull_request")}\` and other read-only GitHub tools for additional context
-   - if the PR removes features, deletes exports, renames identifiers, or changes architectural patterns, run a dedicated impact analysis: list what changed, then use grep across code, tests, docs (\`docs/\`, \`wiki/\`), comments, configs, and UI to find stale references
-   - report impact-analysis findings in the summary body, ordered by severity (runtime breakage > incorrect docs > stale comments)
-   - draft inline comments with NEW line numbers from the diff — every comment must be actionable (2-3 sentences max)
-   - use GitHub permalink format for code references
-   - for large or cross-cutting PRs that touch disparate subsystems, consider delegating read-only subagents to investigate areas in parallel. subagents must ONLY read files, grep, and search — no MCP tools, no writes, no shell commands, no side effects. collect their findings and use them to draft comments.
+2. **triage**: orient yourself on the PR — identify *what kind of thing this is* (domain it touches, seams it crosses, external contracts it depends on, user-facing surfaces it changes). orientation only — defer specific defect-hunting to the subagents; pre-reviewing biases the lenses you pick. use \`${t("get_pull_request")}\` and other read-only GitHub tools for additional context if needed.

+   - 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.
+
+3. **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 3 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)
+
+4. **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.
+
+5. **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.

-1. Checkout the PR via \`${t("checkout_pr")}\` — this returns PR metadata, \`diffPath\` (full diff), and \`incrementalDiffPath\` (changes since last reviewed version, if available).
+1. **checkout**: call \`${t("checkout_pr")}\` — this returns PR metadata, \`diffPath\` (full diff), and \`incrementalDiffPath\` (changes since last reviewed version, if available). read the diff TOC first and use its line ranges as your coverage checklist.
 
-2. 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.
+2. **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.
 
-3. 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.
+3. **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 need this in step 6 to track which prior comments were addressed.
 
-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. **triage & fan out**: orient on the *incremental* changes — domain, seams, external contracts, user-facing surfaces.
 
-5. Self-critique: drop any comments that are praise, style preferences, speculative, about pre-existing code, or not actionable.
+   if the incremental changes are **genuinely trivial**, skip the fan-out entirely and jump to step 7's non-substantive path (do NOT submit a review).
 
-6. **Summarize**: build two distinct sections for the review body:
+   "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 4 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 5), 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.

+   - 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)
+
+5. **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 1 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 3) 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.
+
+   then check: which prior review comments were addressed by the new commits? track the addressed ones for step 6b.
+
+6. **build the review body** — two distinct sections:
    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.
 
 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:
+   - 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. 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).

+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.

When reviewing a PR, do NOT re-derive the PR diff via \`git diff <base>..<head>\` — the diffPath returned by \`${t("checkout_pr")}\` is authoritative. \`git log\` and \`git diff --stat\` are fine for commit-range overview; \`git diff\` / \`git diff --cached\` are fine for inspecting your *own* uncommitted changes.
