+// The plannotator browser-review substrate serving `/pr-review-browser`: the presence probe,
+// the pinned `code-review` event envelope + annotation decode, the active-PR resolution ladder,
+// the respond routing, and the composable browser-open core (port preset + readiness poll).
+//
+// pi exposes NO API for one extension to invoke another's slash command (`sendUserMessage` sends
+// text to the model; `steer`/`followUp` ERROR on slash commands). So perk cannot literally call
+// `/plannotator-review`. Instead it speaks plannotator's published `pi.events` API — a
+// `plannotator:request` with `action: "code-review"` — which opens the EXACT same browser UI.
+// Same in-process bus perk already uses for plan review (createPlannotatorBridge).
+//
+// EVENT ENVELOPE (pinned against `@plannotator/pi-extension@0.22.0`, `plannotator-events.ts` —
+// byte-identical to 0.21.2, the original pin):
+//   request — pi.events.emit("plannotator:request", { requestId, action: "code-review",
+//             payload, respond })                   // respond = in-payload callback
+//   payload — PR mode:    { prUrl, cwd }
+//           — local mode: { cwd, diffType: "since-base", defaultBranch? }
+//   reply   — respond({ status: "handled", result: { approved, feedback?, annotations?,
+//             exit? } })
+//           | respond({ status: "unavailable" | "error", error? })
+// `result.annotations` items are plannotator `CodeAnnotation` objects — the content subset
+// decoded here is `CodeReviewAnnotation` ({filePath, lineStart, lineEnd, side: "old"|"new"} +
+// six optional string fields); `result.exit === true` is the "closed without feedback" arm
+// (`/api/exit`). Both are consumed by the PR-mode respond routing (`respondMessage`); the
+// pre-PR local mode's own routing (`routePrReviewOutcome`) branches on `exit` before the
+// approved/feedback arms.
+// Unlike plan-review there is NO handshake / no `reviewId` channel and no timeout: for code-review
+// plannotator `await openCodeReview(...)` then responds ONCE with the final result.
+//
+// `"since-base"` is new in plannotator 0.22.0; older versions don't own that diff type and fall
+// back to the reviewer's configured default diff — graceful degradation, no version detection.
+// The requested diffType only sets the INITIAL view (the reviewer can switch from the header menu).
+//
+// SERVER ADDRESSING (why `startPlannotatorBrowser`'s env preset works): the pi extension runs
+// plannotator's review server IN-PROCESS (`node:http`, not the standalone Bun binary), and its
+// port resolution (`server/network.ts getServerPort()`) reads `PLANNOTATOR_PORT` at bind time —
+// perk's extension and plannotator's server share one Node process, so an env var set here is
+// read there. The core picks a free ephemeral port, presets the env var, emits the bridge
+// request, polls `GET /api/diff` (a review-server-only route) for readiness, and ALWAYS restores
+// the prior env value in a `finally` when the poll ends. Because the port is read at bind time,
+// the server URL is KNOWN the moment the port is picked — before the server is up — which is
+// what lets `/pr-review-browser` open the browser in the background and inject its guidance
+// immediately. Concurrency caveat: a second plannotator server starting in the same process
+// during the window would collide on the fixed port — rare and loud (EADDRINUSE → plannotator
+// throws → the bridge settles error), never silent.
