 - `AI_PROMPT_PROFILE` (optional, default: `default`; one of `default` \| `weak`). Use `weak` for small or heavily-quantized models (≤ ~7B, local Ollama, etc.). The `weak` profile uses shorter system prompts, positive rules instead of negations, and inline few-shot examples for triage / per-file review / consolidation / verification, which dramatically improves output-format adherence on weak models. When the variable is not set, the profile is auto-detected: if the triage pass returns unparseable JSON with `default` prompts, triage is retried once with `weak` and, on success, the whole run continues with it. Set the variable explicitly to pin a profile and disable auto-detection.

 Turn on **Settings → Merge requests → All threads must be resolved** to make AI findings block the merge until someone fixes or dismisses them. Line numbers come from the model, which sees numbered diffs and files, so a thread can still occasionally land a line away from the issue. Resolving threads needs a token with at least the Developer role.
 
+## Review rules (REVIEW.md)
+
+Commit a `REVIEW.md` to the repository root to tell the reviewer what matters in your project. It is plain Markdown with no schema — the same file [Claude Code Review](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/code-review-customize), [Qodo](https://docs.qodo.ai/governance/use-review-md) and other review tools read, so one file serves all of them:
+
+```markdown
+## Do not report
+- `src/gen/**` and lock files (generated)
+- formatting and types (CI checks them)
+
+## Always check
+- SQL queries filter by tenant
+- no emails or request bodies in log lines
+```
+
+- It is read from the MR's **target branch**, never from the MR itself. A `REVIEW.md` that the MR changes shows up in the diff as code to review, and the model is told not to follow that copy. Merge `REVIEW.md` changes first, and protect the target branch.
+- Every pass gets it (triage, per-file review, consolidation, verification). It changes what gets reported and how severe it is, not the format of the review comment.
+- It steers the model; it is not an enforced policy. Don't rely on it for security or compliance checks.
+- Only the first 8,000 characters are used; the job log says when a file is longer. The file is sent with every model call, so keep it short.
+- Without `REVIEW.md` the review runs as before.

 ## Benchmark
 
 Head-to-head against [Alibaba OpenCodeReview](https://github.com/alibaba/open-code-review) v1.8.10 (via its official GitLab CI recipe) on a demo MR with 4 seeded bugs: an auth bypass (`API_KEYS` unset → empty key accepted), a rate limiter whose window never resets, an unbounded per-IP counters Map, and a null-deref crash in a stats endpoint. Same MR, same commit range, same backends.
