CI Review

CI Review

CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: This skill is an automated review submitter. Its primary deliverable is an atomic GitHub PR review submitted by calling the Bash tool to execute post-review.sh.

You MUST call the Bash tool to execute post-review.sh on EVERY run before writing any final summary text (see Step 7 for the invocation command). Ending a session without calling the Bash tool to post the review violates the contract and fails CI.

Mandatory Review Contract (Inviolable)

Every execution of /ci-review MUST complete all workflow steps through Step 8:

1. Step 6 is mandatory on ALL runs: Construct the payload file ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-payload-<PR#>.json (using the "No Findings" template with "comments": [] when clean).
2. Step 7 is mandatory on ALL runs: Call the Bash tool to run sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/post-review.sh" <PR#> "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-payload-<PR#>.json".
3. Step 8 is mandatory: Output the summary including the review URL returned by post-review.sh.

Before running, read references/REVIEW-POSTING.md now for the review posting format and error handling chain.

Profiles

Agent Profile

The --agent flag activates the agent profile, designed for reviewing AI-authored code. It uses the full agent set but with different thresholds and additional prompt context:

• Uses the full agent set (all 9 review agents)
• Lowers the default --min-severity to low (surface everything actionable)
• Injects context into each agent prompt: "This PR was authored by an AI agent. Surface all valid findings including minor ones — the cost of fixing is negligible. Pay attention to AI-specific patterns: over-engineering, hallucinated API usage, unnecessary abstractions, verbose boilerplate, and cargo-culted patterns."

Severity Filter

Use --min-severity <level> to control which findings appear in the review:

If not specified, --min-severity defaults to medium for normal runs and to low when --agent is used. The severity filter is applied AFTER confidence scoring — it removes real but low-priority findings, not false positives.

Review Posting Rules (Inlined for Reliability)

These rules are critical. They are also detailed in REVIEW-POSTING.md but inlined here as defense-in-depth:

• Always use event "COMMENT" — never "APPROVE" or "REQUEST_CHANGES"
• line is the line number on the new version of the file. Always use side=RIGHT
• Only post actionable inline comments — no confirmations, no "looks good"
• Do not repeat correctly addressed items
• If no inline comments, write "comments": [] in the Step 6 payload file
• Always post — even with zero findings. A clean review still requires a body-only review using the exact "No Findings" template from REVIEW-POSTING.md §3 (first line <!-- ci-review -->, ### ✅ Approval recommended heading, "No actionable issues found. Reviewed N files across M changed lines.", profile).
• Posting is deterministic via post-review.sh: Step 6 writes ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-payload-<PR#>.json, and Step 7 executes post-review.sh to handle payload submission, retry logic, and fallback posting automatically. Never skip Step 7.

Timing Logs

This section is reference guidance. Do not execute anything from it directly — timing markers are only emitted from within each numbered Step's own Bash invocations below. This section describes the two variants and when to apply each.

Every Step in the ## Workflow section emits a phase-start marker at its beginning and a phase-end marker at its end so the GitHub Actions log shows where time is spent. GitHub Actions renders ::group:: / ::endgroup:: as collapsible sections in the run UI; local runs see them as plain text. Track each Step's elapsed seconds and report them in the Step 8 summary as Phase timings (s): s0=... s1=... ... total=....

Single-call variant — use when the entire Step fits in one Bash invocation (Steps 0, 1, 2, 7). Capture the start epoch into a shell variable and compute elapsed inline, so no state needs to cross tool calls. Preserve the step's exit status by capturing $? immediately after <step commands> and re-emitting it at the end — otherwise the trailing echo commands would always return 0 and mask prerequisite or eligibility failures (e.g., gh auth status failing in Step 0). All echoes go to stdout — per GitHub's workflow-command spec, ::group:: / ::endgroup:: must appear on stdout to render as collapsible sections in the Actions log. For steps whose <step commands> also produces parseable output (e.g., Step 2's gh pr view --json), the output should remain parseable.

Multi-call variant — use when the Step spans multiple Bash invocations or waits on subagent tool calls (Steps 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6). All marker echoes go to stdout (GitHub's workflow-command spec). Any value the model needs to remember for later calls (epochs, SHAs, owner/repo) must be printed to stdout as a labeled line so it survives across tool calls. In the first Bash call of the Step, print echo "::group::[ci-review] Step N: <name>" and date +%s — remember the printed epoch in your working state. In the last Bash call of the Step, substitute the remembered epoch into echo "[ci-review] Step N done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - <REMEMBERED_EPOCH> ))s"; echo "::endgroup::". For Steps with agent fan-out (Steps 4, 5), place the phase-end marker after all agents return.

Workflow

Step 0: Prerequisites

Verify gh CLI is available and authenticated. Single Bash invocation using the Timing Logs single-call variant:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 0: Prerequisites"
START=$(date +%s)
gh auth status
STATUS=$?
echo "[ci-review] Step 0 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - START ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"
exit $STATUS

If gh is not found (exit 127), abort with: "gh CLI is required. Install: https://cli.github.com/" If not authenticated (non-zero exit from gh auth status), abort with: "gh is not authenticated. Run: gh auth login"

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Emit timing markers via a minimal Bash invocation even though argument parsing itself has no other shell work — s1=<parse> in the Step 8 summary must be a measured elapsed value, never a placeholder:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 1: Parse Arguments"
START=$(date +%s)
# Argument parsing is performed by the model from the conversation — no shell work required here.
echo "[ci-review] Step 1 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - START ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"

Extract from the argument string:

• PR identifier (required): a number (e.g., 123) or GitHub URL. If a URL, extract the PR number and store as PR_NUMBER. If the URL points to a different repository than the current one, abort with: "Cross-repo URLs are not supported. Run this skill from the target repo, or pass just the PR number."
• Focus text (optional): free text describing what to focus the review on (e.g., "auth flow", "error handling")
• Profile flag (optional): --single, --lean, --full, or --agent. Default: --lean. --agent implies --full agent set. --single uses one comprehensive agent instead of the specialist fan-out.
• Model override (optional): --model sonnet|opus. Default: use each agent's built-in model (Sonnet for reviewers, Haiku for scorers). When set, overrides the model for review agents only — confidence scorers always use Haiku.
• Severity filter (optional): --min-severity low|medium|high|critical. Default: medium (or low when --agent).

If no PR number is provided, abort with: "Usage: /ci-review <PR#> [focus text] [--full|--lean|--single] [--agent] [--model sonnet|opus] [--min-severity ]"

Step 2: Eligibility Check

Single Bash invocation using the Timing Logs single-call variant. Preserves the gh pr view exit status so non-zero (PR not found, permissions) propagates for the abort check:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 2: Eligibility Check"
START=$(date +%s)
gh pr view <PR#> --json state,number,title,url
STATUS=$?
echo "[ci-review] Step 2 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - START ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"
exit $STATUS

• If gh pr view fails (non-zero exit), abort: "PR #N not found or insufficient permissions."
• If PR state is not OPEN, abort: "PR #N is {state}. Only open PRs can be reviewed."

Print: "Reviewing PR #N: {title} ({url}) — profile: {single|lean|full|agent}"

Step 3: Gather Context (Parallel)

Multi-call timing variant. Emit the phase-start marker in a dedicated Bash call before launching the parallel operations below:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 3: Gather Context"
date +%s   # print and remember — pass this value into the Step 3 phase-end Bash call at the end

Then launch these four operations in parallel:

3a. Fetch PR diff:

gh pr diff <PR#>

3b. Fetch PR metadata:

gh pr view <PR#> --json title,body,headRefName,baseRefName,files,additions,deletions,changedFiles

3c. Discover CLAUDE.md files: Search for CLAUDE.md files in the repo root and in directories containing changed files. Use Glob to find **/CLAUDE.md and Read to load the root CLAUDE.md and any others relevant to the changed files. Preserve scope: prefix each file's contents with its path (e.g., ### /CLAUDE.md, ### /packages/api/CLAUDE.md) so agents know which rules apply to which directories.

3d. Fetch existing PR comments: Run the fetch-pr-comments.sh script to retrieve all existing comments on this PR (inline review comments, PR-level comments, and review bodies from all authors):

sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/fetch-pr-comments.sh" <PR#>

Store the JSON output as EXISTING_COMMENTS. Comment bodies are truncated to 2000 characters by the script to limit context size on comment-heavy PRs — this is sufficient for content-signal matching since actionable content appears early in comments.

If the script fails (non-zero exit, or stderr contains {"error":...}), log a warning and continue — cross-run dedup is best-effort. On failure, set EXISTING_COMMENTS to:

{"inline_comments":[],"pr_comments":[],"review_bodies":[],"summary":{"total_inline":0,"total_pr_comments":0,"total_review_bodies":0}}

Print: "Fetched {total_inline} inline comments, {total_pr_comments} PR comments, {total_review_bodies} review bodies for cross-run dedup."

Compile the context bundle:

• PR_DIFF: the full diff text
• PR_META: title, body, branch names, file list, stats
• CLAUDE_MD: path-prefixed CLAUDE.md contents (or "No CLAUDE.md found")
• FOCUS: the focus text (or empty)
• EXISTING_COMMENTS: structured JSON of all existing PR comments (for cross-run dedup in Step 5)

Large diffs: If the diff exceeds 10,000 lines, warn: "Large diff ({N} lines) — review quality may degrade for files not near the top of the diff." Do not truncate — let agents handle context naturally. They can always Read individual files for deeper investigation.

Emit the Step-3 phase-end marker in a final Bash call after the context bundle is compiled (substitute the epoch you remembered from the phase-start call):

echo "[ci-review] Step 3 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - <STEP3_START_EPOCH> ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"

Step 3.5: Ensure PR Branch is Checked Out

Multi-call timing variant. Emit the phase-start marker in a first Bash call that prints everything subsequent calls need — Bash tool state does not persist across calls, so any value you need later must be echoed to stdout here:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 3.5: Ensure PR Branch is Checked Out"
date +%s   # remember this epoch for the phase-end call
gh pr view <PR#> --json headRefOid --jq '"PR_HEAD_SHA=" + .headRefOid'
echo "HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)"

Review agents use Read, Grep, and git blame to examine the actual code — not just the diff. Decide the checkout action based on the SHAs:

• If HEAD_SHA matches PR_HEAD_SHA → already on the right commit, do nothing.
• Otherwise → run gh pr checkout <PR#>.
• If checkout fails → warn but continue. Pass a note to agents: "File access unavailable — review from diff only." This lets agents skip Read/git blame rather than wasting turns on failing tool calls.

Close Step 3.5 with a phase-end Bash call (required on every branch — already-on-commit, checkout-succeeded, and checkout-failed-but-continuing):

echo "[ci-review] Step 3.5 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - <STEP3_5_START_EPOCH> ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"

Step 4: Launch Review Agents

Multi-call timing variant. This is typically the longest phase — the elapsed value tells the user exactly how much time agent reasoning consumed. Emit the phase-start marker in a dedicated Bash call before launching agents:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 4: Launch Review Agents"
date +%s   # remember this epoch for the phase-end call

Select agents based on profile:

Single agent (when --single):

1. ci-review:single-reviewer — one comprehensive agent covering all domains

Lean agents (default, when --lean or no flag):

1. ci-review:deep-reviewer
2. ci-review:guidelines-checker
3. ci-review:bug-detector
4. ci-review:security-reviewer
5. ci-review:silent-failure-hunter
6. ci-review:code-simplifier

Full and agent profile agents (added when --full or --agent): 7. ci-review:test-analyzer 8. ci-review:comment-analyzer 9. ci-review:type-analyzer

Launch ALL selected agents in parallel using the Agent tool. If --model was specified, pass it as the model parameter on each Agent tool call to override the agent definition's default. Each agent receives the same prompt:

Review this pull request. Report findings in your defined output format:
## Findings
1. **[severity]** `file:line` — description + **Recommendation:**
If no issues found, output "No findings."

## PR Metadata
Title: {title}
Branch: {head} → {base}
Changed files: {count} ({additions}+ / {deletions}-)

## CLAUDE.md Rules
{CLAUDE_MD contents}

## Focus
{FOCUS text, or "No specific focus — review broadly."}

## Agent Context
{If --agent: "This PR was authored by an AI agent. Surface all valid findings including minor ones — the cost of fixing is negligible. Pay attention to AI-specific patterns: over-engineering, hallucinated API usage, unnecessary abstractions, verbose boilerplate, and cargo-culted patterns."}
{If not --agent: omit this section entirely}

## PR Diff
{PR_DIFF}

Agent failure handling: If an agent fails, times out, or returns unparseable output, log the failure and continue with findings from the remaining agents. Do not abort the review because one agent failed. Record the failure in the Step 8 summary (e.g., "Agents: 8 launched, 7 completed, 1 failed").

After all agents have returned (or been recorded as failed), emit the Step-4 phase-end marker (substitute the remembered epoch):

echo "[ci-review] Step 4 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - <STEP4_START_EPOCH> ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"

Then proceed to Step 5 (Confidence Scoring).

Step 5: Confidence Scoring

Multi-call timing variant. Emit the phase-start marker in a dedicated Bash call before launching scorers:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 5: Confidence Scoring"
date +%s   # remember this epoch for the phase-end call

Collect all findings from all agents into a single list. For each finding, record:

• The finding text (severity, file, line, message, recommendation)
• Which agent produced it

Launch one ci-review:confidence-scorer agent per finding, all in parallel. Haiku is cheap and fast — independent scoring per finding ensures no cross-contamination and survives partial failures.

Each scorer receives:

Score this review finding from 0-100 for confidence (how certain are you that this finding is factually correct?).
Check the diff to verify the finding is on a changed line, then read the actual code to verify it's real.
Confidence is about accuracy, not importance — a minor but real style issue should score high.

## Finding
Source agent: {agent-name}
{the finding text: severity, file, line, message, recommendation}

## PR Diff
{PR_DIFF}

Wait for all scorers to complete. Collect their scores.

Scorer failure handling: If a scorer fails or times out, default to confidence score 50 (uncertain). This drops the finding from the confidence filter, erring on the side of excluding unverifiable findings rather than including them.

Confidence filter: Remove all findings with confidence score below 65. A score of 65 means "more likely real than not" — a reasonable bar that avoids discarding real findings that happen to be minor.

Severity filter: Remove findings whose severity is below the resolved --min-severity threshold (default: medium, or low when --agent). Severity order: critical > high > medium > low.

Deduplicate: Multiple agents often flag the same underlying issue. Before building the review, scan all surviving findings and merge duplicates:

1. Exact match: same file and same line → keep the finding with the higher confidence score
2. Near match: same file and lines within 5 of each other, describing the same root cause → keep the higher-scored one, note the other agent in the Found by: tag (e.g., Found by: bug-detector, security-reviewer)
3. Semantic overlap: different files or lines but describing the same conceptual issue (e.g., "missing null check on user input" flagged independently by bug-detector and security-reviewer at two call sites) → these are NOT duplicates — keep both, they're separate instances of the same pattern

Existing comment dedup: After within-run dedup, check each surviving finding against EXISTING_COMMENTS to skip findings already covered by prior comments on this PR. This prevents duplicate postings across multiple ci-review runs, and avoids piling on when humans or other bots already flagged the same issue.

For each surviving finding that has a file and line:

1. Search EXISTING_COMMENTS.inline_comments for any comment where (skip comments with line: null):
   • path matches the finding's file, AND
   • line is numeric and within ±5 of the finding's line, AND
   • At least one content signal matches (see below)
   • If all three conditions match → mark the finding as already-commented and exclude it
2. If no inline match found, search EXISTING_COMMENTS.pr_comments and EXISTING_COMMENTS.review_bodies:
   • The comment body contains the finding's file path, AND
   • At least one content signal matches

For findings without a file (body-only findings):

1. Search EXISTING_COMMENTS.pr_comments and EXISTING_COMMENTS.review_bodies for comments where:
   • The comment body mentions a file path related to the finding's context (or the finding's description references the same area), AND
   • A key phrase match exists (see below)
   • Both conditions are required — body-only matching without a location anchor is too loose and would suppress unrelated architectural findings

Content signal matching — to avoid false negatives from overly broad matches, require a key phrase match or two or more of the following signals (case-insensitive):

• Severity tag: the comment body contains the finding's severity in a tag-like context (e.g., [high], **[high]**)
• Type keyword: the comment body contains the finding's type keyword (bug, security, error-handling, quality, review, guidelines, test-coverage, comment-accuracy, type-design)
• Key phrases (strongest signal): extract 2–3 significant noun phrases from the finding description (the core issue — e.g., "SQL injection", "null check", "race condition", "missing validation") and check if any appear in the comment body. A key phrase match alone is sufficient — it is specific enough to confirm the same issue.

A single generic signal (severity tag alone or type keyword alone) is NOT sufficient — common words like high, bug, or review appear in many unrelated comments and would suppress distinct findings near the same location.

Matching policy:

• Match generously — better to skip a potential duplicate than to re-post noise
• All existing comments are checked regardless of author (human reviewers, bots, previous ci-review runs)
• Resolution status is irrelevant — whether resolved or unresolved, the issue was already flagged
• String matching is case-insensitive

Track the count of findings excluded by this pass as EXISTING_DEDUP_COUNT.

Record the severity counts of findings that survived the confidence + severity filters before this dedup pass as VERDICT_COUNTS — Step 6 derives the review verdict from them, so dedup-suppressed findings still influence the verdict. After all scorers have returned and filtering/deduplication is complete, emit the Step-5 phase-end marker:

echo "[ci-review] Step 5 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - <STEP5_START_EPOCH> ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"

Then proceed to Step 6 to construct the review payload.

Step 6: Build Review Payload

Multi-call timing variant. Emit the phase-start marker in a dedicated Bash call before reading references/REVIEW-POSTING.md and deriving types:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 6: Build Review Payload"
date +%s   # remember this epoch for the phase-end call

Read references/REVIEW-POSTING.md now for the detailed format specification.

Derive <type> from the source agent. The inline comment format uses **[<severity>] <type>**. Map the agent name to its type:

Determine the verdict. Derive the review verdict from VERDICT_COUNTS (post-confidence, post-severity-filter findings before dedup):

You MUST execute the Bash tool to construct the payload file ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-payload-<PR#>.json:

• For clean runs with zero findings (total findings surviving confidence & severity filters == 0 / all counts in VERDICT_COUNTS are 0), substitute the actual values into <PR#>, <N> (files), <M> (lines), and <profile>, and execute this Bash command:

cat << 'EOF' > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-body-<PR#>.md"
<!-- ci-review -->
### ✅ Approval recommended

No actionable issues found. Reviewed <N> files across <M> changed lines.

**CI Review** · **Profile**: <profile>
EOF

cat << 'EOF' > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-comments-<PR#>.json"
[]
EOF

jq -n \
  --rawfile body "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-body-<PR#>.md" \
  --slurpfile comments "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-comments-<PR#>.json" \
  '{body: $body, comments: ($comments[0] // [])}' \
  > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-payload-<PR#>.json"

echo "[ci-review] Step 6 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - <STEP6_START_EPOCH> ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"

• For runs with findings (total findings surviving confidence & severity filters > 0 / at least one severity count in VERDICT_COUNTS > 0):
  1. Determine inline eligibility: Check if each surviving finding (after dedup) appears in the PR diff and its line is in a changed hunk. If yes → inline comment. If no → body-only finding.
  2. Build payload files and encode:
     • If all findings were excluded by dedup (posted findings == 0): write ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-body-<PR#>.md per REVIEW-POSTING.md §3 edge case using the severity-derived verdict heading and the all-deduplicated verdict paragraph (All <N> findings were already flagged in existing comments — nothing new posted.), and write [] to ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-comments-<PR#>.json.
     • Otherwise (posted findings > 0): write inline comment objects to ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-comments-<PR#>.json and review body per REVIEW-POSTING.md §3 — first line <!-- ci-review -->, then the verdict heading and verdict paragraph — to ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-body-<PR#>.md.
     • Encode with jq (required for both cases above before Step 7):

cat << 'EOF' > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-body-<PR#>.md"
<REVIEW_BODY>
EOF

cat << 'EOF' > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-comments-<PR#>.json"
[ ...inline comments... ]
EOF

jq -n \
  --rawfile body "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-body-<PR#>.md" \
  --slurpfile comments "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-comments-<PR#>.json" \
  '{body: $body, comments: ($comments[0] // [])}' \
  > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-payload-<PR#>.json"

echo "[ci-review] Step 6 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - <STEP6_START_EPOCH> ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"

Step 7: Post Review

Single-call timing variant. You MUST execute this Bash command on every run (including zero-findings runs) to submit the review to GitHub:

echo "::group::[ci-review] Step 7: Post Review"
START=$(date +%s)
sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/post-review.sh" <PR#> "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-payload-<PR#>.json"
STATUS=$?
echo "[ci-review] Step 7 done elapsed=$(( $(date +%s) - START ))s"
echo "::endgroup::"
exit $STATUS

The script outputs Review posted: <URL> on success (exit 0) or POSTING FAILED: <reason> to stderr (exit 1). Capture the review URL from the output for the Step 8 summary.

Zero findings is NOT an exit, and posting must NEVER be skipped — you must execute Step 7's Bash tool call before proceeding to Step 8.

Step 8: Self-Check & Summary

No ::group:: wrapper for this step — the summary should be visible at the top level of the log. Still include the total elapsed time.

Before writing the final summary, verify that the review was posted by checking the URL returned from Step 7:

• The Review: line in the summary below MUST contain the real GitHub review URL returned by post-review.sh in Step 7 (Review posted: https://github.com/...).
• If you have not executed Step 7 yet, execute it now via Bash:

  sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/post-review.sh" <PR#> "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/ci-review-payload-<PR#>.json"
  

• Never use a placeholder like <URL> or None — the review URL must be a live GitHub URL from a successful post.

Print the summary for the CI log:

CI Review complete for PR #N
Profile: single|lean|full|agent
Verdict: <emoji> <text>
Agents: N launched, N completed [, N failed]
Raw findings: N collected
After confidence scoring (≥65): N survived
After severity filter (≥{min-severity}): N survived
Already commented (skipped): N
Posted: N inline comments + review body
Review: <URL_FROM_POST_REVIEW_SH>
Phase timings (s): s0=<prereq> s1=<parse> s2=<eligibility> s3=<context> s3_5=<checkout> s4=<agents> s5=<scoring> s6=<payload> s7=<post> total=<sum>

The Phase timings line is the most load-bearing output for post-run analysis — list every step's elapsed seconds (using the values you tracked across the Timing Logs markers) plus a total= that is the sum of all phases. Every Step must still be measured and reported when it runs — even when no branching action occurs (e.g., Step 3.5 when HEAD_SHA already matches PR_HEAD_SHA and no checkout runs, the Step still executed gh pr view + git rev-parse, so its elapsed time should be recorded and reported). Because date +%s has 1-second granularity, legitimately fast steps (especially Step 1's no-op argument parse) may report s<N>=0 — that is a valid measured value, not a "skipped" marker. A Step's elapsed should be omitted only when the Step was truly not entered (which for Steps 0–7 would indicate a prompt bug — they run on every invocation).

Agent Output Format

All review agents output findings in this format (enforced by their agent definitions):

## Findings

1. **[severity]** `file/path.ts:line`
   Description of the issue.
   **Recommendation:** How to fix it.

2. **[severity]** `file/path.ts:line`
   ...

Parse each finding to extract: severity, file, line, message (description + recommendation + any extra fields like **Rule:** or **Evidence:**), source agent name.

If an agent outputs "No findings." — record zero findings from that agent.
