+Use one native collaboration agent when a slot is available; otherwise the

+Encode the complete repository identity before constructing a stable path:

+```
+
+This encoding is filesystem-safe and injective: repositories with the same

+~/code-reviews/artifacts/<REPO_KEY>-pr-<PR_NUMBER>.html

+Choose the local render path and artifact result independently. When
+`PREV_ARTIFACT_TARGET` is an absolute local path, validate that it is a regular
