REVIEW.md told the reviewer which repository rules to check but never to try
breaking the change, so the conditions this panel actually meets went
unexamined. "Try to break it" adds six, each tied to a mechanism here rather
than to a generic checklist: an upgrade over an operator's existing rows and
the rollback that reads them again, a restart that drops in-memory state under
the cron jobs, a sub-node racing the master on the same row, an operation
applied twice, an inbound or client at the empty and the thousand end, and a
dependency that is down. It closes with the gate that running a case is not
reporting it - each one still has to clear the verification bar below it, so
the section cannot become a licence for hypotheticals.
repo-context.md said nothing about which bot reads it. Only the issue analyst
does, since the review job's briefing moved inline in acf3603d, so it becomes
issue-analyst-context.md and its title names the analyst instead of "the Claude
bot". bot_context_test.go pins that path in a constant, so the rename carries
through the constant, the four test names and the two comments that named the
old file - one of which still said "the bot prompts", plural.
Backticks come off mtg-multi in the new section: the same test file reads any
hyphenated backticked token in REVIEW.md as a CI job name, and fails on one
ci.yml does not define.
The issue analyst moves verbatim from claude-bot.yml into its own
claude-issue-analyst.yml, so claude-bot.yml now holds only the pull-request
side: review, @claude mentions and conflict resolution.
The review job's briefing was a single 2,600-character quoted string inside
claude_args, unreadable and unreviewable. It now lives in
.github/claude/review-job.md, assembled at run time with a "This run"
section that hands the reviewer the pinned head SHA, the pull request and
the exact check-runs command, and reaches the CLI through
--append-system-prompt-file. The agent-mode action sets no system-prompt
append of its own, so the file flag cannot collide with one.
Findings no longer carry the fix: REVIEW.md and the brief both forbid
suggestion blocks, patches and replacement snippets, overriding the
code-review skill's --comment step, which attaches a committable suggestion
to any small fix. A finding states what is wrong, where, what triggers it
and what breaks; the maintainer decides the change.
