A reply-only wrapper with any comment **lacking** the marker is a human follow-up — keep it; the round addresses it.

-When `/muggle-do` posts a threaded reply to a review comment, GitHub surfaces that reply as a **new submitted review** under the same account.

+When `/muggle-do` posts a threaded reply to a review comment, GitHub surfaces that reply as a **new submitted review** under the same account, and the reply becomes the newest comment in its thread. The watcher must never read that as fresh feedback, or it replies to itself forever.
 
-## Rule
+Under the thread-state dispatch trigger this is **intrinsic** — there is no "advance past the echo" step to get wrong:
 
-A submitted review is an **echo** when **every** comment in it carries the loop marker `<!-- muggle-do:bot -->` (see [`loop-signature.md`](loop-signature.md)). An echo is the loop's own reply wearing a review's clothing, never human intent.
+- **Line-comment threads.** A thread is actionable only when its newest comment lacks the loop marker `<!-- muggle-do:bot -->` (see [`loop-signature.md`](loop-signature.md)). After the loop replies, the newest comment is the loop's own and carries the marker, so the thread drops out of the actionable set on its own.
+- **Body-only reviews.** A loop reply always carries a line comment, so it is never body-only; the body-only check (no line comments, `id > lastBodyReviewId` — see [`../github-cli-recipes/submitted-reviews.md`](../github-cli-recipes/submitted-reviews.md)) excludes echoes structurally.
 
-On an echo review, the watcher must:
-
-1. Advance `last_seen.reviewId` past the echo's id (so it is not seen again), and
-2. **Skip it** — never dispatch `/muggle-do` for it.
-
-## Detection
-
-Classify by the marker, never by `author.login` — under a shared account the loop posts as the PR author, so the login cannot tell echo from human. Fetch the review's comments; if the set is non-empty and every comment body contains `<!-- muggle-do:bot -->`, it is an echo. A review with at least one marker-less comment is human feedback and must be processed normally.

 # Watcher Per-Tick Contract

The watcher is a dumb pipe: it polls for new submitted reviews, CI checks, and merge-conflict state, dispatches `/muggle-do` if there's review feedback, fixable red CI, or an unmergeable branch, and exits. It does not classify, fix, resolve, amend requirements, post replies, run cycles, or escalate.

-Per [`../_shared/github-cli-recipes/submitted-reviews.md`](../_shared/github-cli-recipes/submitted-reviews.md). Exclude two kinds of review id:
+The watcher's dispatch trigger is **derived from current GitHub state**, not a stored review-id cursor — see the [thread-state baseline design](../../../../muggle-ai-brain/architecture/2026-06-06-pr-followup-thread-state-baseline-design.md). Two sources, unioned:
 
-- ids in `last_seen.escalated_review_ids` — already escalated; the watcher must not re-dispatch them.
-- **echo reviews** per [`../_shared/pr-followup-helpers/echo-skip.md`](../_shared/pr-followup-helpers/echo-skip.md) — a review whose every comment carries the loop marker is the loop's own reply, surfaced by GitHub as a new review. Advance `last_seen.reviewId` past it and skip; never dispatch, or the watcher replies to itself forever.
+**(a) Actionable threads.** Fetch unresolved review threads per [`../_shared/github-cli-recipes/unresolved-threads.md`](../_shared/github-cli-recipes/unresolved-threads.md). A thread is **actionable** when `isResolved == false` **and** `isOutdated == false` **and** its newest comment lacks the loop marker `<!-- muggle-do:bot -->` — classify by the marker, never `author.login` (see [`../_shared/pr-followup-helpers/loop-signature.md`](../_shared/pr-followup-helpers/loop-signature.md)). The marker rule makes echo intrinsic: once the loop has replied, the thread's newest comment is the loop's own, so the thread is no longer actionable — no cursor to advance, no self-recursion (see [`../_shared/pr-followup-helpers/echo-skip.md`](../_shared/pr-followup-helpers/echo-skip.md)).
 
-### Step 4 — If one or more new reviews → dispatch (reviews preempt CI)
+**(b) Actionable body-only reviews.** A body-only review — a submitted `CHANGES_REQUESTED`/`COMMENTED` review with no line comments — has no thread to derive state from, so it keeps a narrow watermark. Fetch submitted reviews per [`../_shared/github-cli-recipes/submitted-reviews.md`](../_shared/github-cli-recipes/submitted-reviews.md); a body-only review is actionable when `id > last_seen.lastBodyReviewId` **and** `id ∉ last_seen.escalated_review_ids`.
 
-The watcher does **not** classify. Classification, batching, replying, escalation, and cycle execution all live in `/muggle-do`. The watcher's job is to hand over the list of new review ids and exit.
+Collect the **owning review ids** for dispatch: for each actionable thread, the owning review of its newest comment (`pullRequestReview.databaseId` from the query); plus every actionable body-only review id. The dedup'd union is the dispatch list.
+
+### Step 4 — If the actionable set is non-empty → dispatch (reviews preempt CI)
+
+The watcher does **not** classify. Classification, batching, replying, escalation, and cycle execution all live in `/muggle-do`. The watcher hands over the owning review ids and exits — `/muggle-do`'s address-reviews re-derives the unresolved threads itself (its authority), so the watcher only needs to decide *that* there is work, not enumerate it exhaustively.
 
 1. Reset `last_seen.idle_tick_count` to 0.
 2. **Stop this watcher (single-thread).** Cancel its cron so no tick fires while the dev cycle runs: `CronList`, find the job whose command ends with `/muggle:muggle-pr-followup <slug> <n>` (exact two-arg match), `CronDelete` it. `/muggle-do` respawns the watcher when the cycle finishes — exactly one cron ever, and no tick overlaps a running cycle.
 3. Dispatch `/muggle-do` with an *address-reviews* directive carrying:
    - PR URL (from `prs.json[0].url`)
    - Session slug (from the invocation arguments)
-   - Every new review id from Step 3, as a space-separated list
+   - The owning review ids from Step 3, as a space-separated list
 
    Exact phrasing belongs to `/muggle-do`'s intent-routing. A reasonable shape is:
    ```
    /muggle-do address reviews <id1> <id2> ... on <pr-url> slug=<slug>
    ```
 4. Append a dispatching line to `followup.log` per [`output-templates/watcher-log.md`](output-templates/watcher-log.md).
-5. Emit a `tick` event with `reviews_seen: <count>`, `dispatched_review_ids: [<id>, ...]`.
-6. Exit. **Reviews preempt CI** — when reviews land, this tick dispatches address-reviews and never polls CI. The watcher is now stopped; the dev cycle owns the PR and restarts the watcher when it finishes. (The watcher also self-unschedules in Step 2, terminal.)
