+1. **Branch safety check**: If on a protected branch (main, master, develop, etc.), run all of Phase 1, through its **Fresh base.** step, to create/switch to a work branch; "Phase 1 ran" below means all of it ran. If already on a work branch, skip Phase 1 and resolve `{worktree}` as its docs root does: `git -C "{start}" rev-parse --show-toplevel`, else the start directory.
+2. **Skip Phase 2** — no Code agent needed, user already made changes. With no Code report, Phase 4 keeps Harden at every level: the `harden-scope` skip never applies on this path.
 3. **Record BASE_BRANCH**: unless Phase 1 ran, read the PR's base name (`baseRefName`) and fork flag in one Bash call, `cd "{worktree}" && F="$(mktemp)" && echo "F=$F" && gh pr view --json isCrossRepository --jq .isCrossRepository; G=$?; gh pr view --json baseRefName --jq .baseRefName > "$F"; echo "gh=$G,$?"`; `{name file}` is the printed `F=` path, and `gh` failed when either status printed in `gh=` is not 0. If `gh` failed and its output shows that no PR applies (none for the branch, `gh` missing or logged out, or no GitHub remote), the name is the remote default branch; fill the file: `F="{name file}"; git -C "{worktree}" for-each-ref --format='%(symref:lstrip=3)' refs/remotes/origin/HEAD > "$F"`; when the file reads as empty (a file whose only content is an empty line is empty), `main` if `git -C "{worktree}" rev-parse --verify --quiet main` succeeds, otherwise `master` the same way; write a literal name with the Write tool, after a Read of the file. If the Write tool fails, treat the value as missing; never write it with a shell command. Read `{name file}` with the Read tool: its one line is the name. Stop the run, after `rm -- "{name file}"`, if `gh` failed and its output does not show that no PR applies, or the file is empty after every fallback. Stop the run, after `rm -- "{name file}"`, unless the name matches `^(?![-#]|origin\/|(?:@|(?:FETCH_|ORIG_|MERGE_)?HEAD)$)(?!.*\.\.)[A-Za-z0-9._\/+@,#-]{1,200}$` (judge the match by reading; never pass the value to a command), naming only the allowed set, never the name (ASCII letters, digits and `._/+@,#-`, at most 200; no leading `-` or `#`, no `origin/` prefix, no `..`, not `@` or a HEAD name). Phases 3-7 run `{branch_diff}` from `BASE_REF`, the fork point.
    Unless Phase 1 ran (its `BASE_REF` stands), run `F="{name file}"; trap 'rm -- "$F"' EXIT; cd "{worktree}" && X=<isCrossRepository, else false> && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/resolve-base.cjs" pr --name-stdin --cross "${X}" < "$F"; echo "exit=$?"` when gh returned a PR, else `F="{name file}"; trap 'rm -- "$F"' EXIT; cd "{worktree}" && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/resolve-base.cjs" local --name-stdin < "$F"; echo "exit=$?"`. Handle its line as the fresh base step does. Output other than one `BASE_REF=` line (40 or 64 hex, or `none`) with `exit=0` counts as `REASON=resolver-unavailable`: stop, with the fix `re-run; if it repeats, run devflow init`.
-4. **Take GATE_LEVEL**: unless Phase 1 ran, run the **Resolve the settings line** step of Phase 1 once for this worktree, and take `GATE_LEVEL` from the line it accepts, or from its fail-closed line when it accepts none. Phase 6 passes it to Validate.

-3. **No re-run.** A full run that exceeded its timeout is BLOCKED with no re-runs. A runner that cannot take one file as an argument gets no re-runs: every failure is REAL. A Test row that already ran only that file is not re-run: the file is REAL.
-4. **Bound.** Re-run at most the first 20 failed files, in the runner's order, one at a time. Files past 20 are REAL. Worst case: 20 re-runs of 120 s, 40 minutes per Validate run.

Then run one `git ls-files --full-name --error-unmatch -- '<path>' …` call for the accepted paths, each single-quoted; a path it does not list is not re-run and is REAL. Use the repo-relative names it prints from here on, each checked as above and single-quoted. No other log text goes in a command.

The changed set is FILES_CHANGED plus the paths that `git diff --name-only <BASE_SHA>...HEAD` and `git status --porcelain` list, taken before the re-runs; a git error makes every failure REAL.

An assertion failure, an error the test threw, a snapshot mismatch or a non-zero exit with no stated cause is REAL. An assertion is REAL even when its message names a timeout.

 - **Research**: the Research agents write `{type}.md`, and the Synthesize agent (research mode) writes `research-summary.md` through `RESEARCH_BASE_DIR`, both into `research/{topic-slug}/{timestamp}/`.
 - **Design**: `/plan` writes the design document; `/dynamic-plan` writes `design/{slug}/{timestamp}/`, `/dynamic-tickets` `tickets/{slug}/{timestamp}/`, `/dynamic-build` `waves/{slug}/{timestamp}/` and `evidence-wave-{slug}.md`.
 - **Handoff and evidence**: `/implement` writes `evidence-{branch-slug}.md`, which stays after the PR, and the handoff file, to which each Code agent appends one phase section and which is deleted once the PR exists.

+
+A machine with compliance on installs this file. A machine with compliance off does not.
+
+The temp files these recipes name, and the trap that removes them, are in `github-api.md` under "The D11 temp files, and their removal".
+
+---
+
+## PR Comments
+
+### Comment Rules
+
+- Only lines in the PR diff can receive inline comments
+- Deduplicate before posting (same file + line = keep one)
+- Always include a suggested fix; every comment carries the `<!-- devflow:* -->` marker, and the visible devflow footer (*Posted by [devflow](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow)*) is appended only on summary comments (see src/assets/agents/git.mds)
+
+### Inline Comment with Commit SHA
+
+```bash
+OWNER=$(echo "$REPO_INFO" | cut -d'/' -f1)
+REPO=$(echo "$REPO_INFO" | cut -d'/' -f2)
+HEAD_SHA=$(gh pr view "$PR_NUMBER" --json headRefOid -q '.headRefOid')
+
+printf '%s\n' "$COMMENT_BODY" > "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" \
+  && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/redact-secrets.cjs" \
+    "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" "$DEVFLOW_BODY" \
+  && gh api \
+    -X POST \
+    "repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/pulls/${PR_NUMBER}/comments" \
+    -F body=@"$DEVFLOW_BODY" \
+    -f commit_id="$HEAD_SHA" \
+    -f path="$FILE_PATH" \
+    -F line="$LINE_NUMBER" \
+    -f side="RIGHT"
+
+sleep 1  # Rate limiting between comments
+```
+
+### Validate Line is in Diff
+
+```bash
+is_line_in_diff() {
+    local file="$1"
+    local line="$2"
+
+    if ! gh pr diff "$PR_NUMBER" --name-only | grep -q "^${file}$"; then
+        return 1
+    fi
+
+    gh pr diff "$PR_NUMBER" -- "$file" | grep -n "^+" | cut -d: -f1 | grep -q "^${line}$"
+}
+
+if is_line_in_diff "$FILE" "$LINE"; then
+    create_inline_comment "$FILE" "$LINE" "$COMMENT"
+fi
+```
+
+### Comment Format Template
+
+```markdown
+**[SEVERITY] {Review Type}: {Issue Title}**
+
+{Brief description}
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+```{language}

+
+## PR Operations
+
+### PR Review
+
+Both posts reuse the one temp-file pair, so each composes its OWN content as the first
+link of its own chain — `$DEVFLOW_BODY` is the scrubber's output, not a shared mailbox.
+
+```bash
+printf '%s\n' "LGTM! Tested locally and all checks pass." > "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" \
+  && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/redact-secrets.cjs" \
+    "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" "$DEVFLOW_BODY" \
+  && gh pr review "$PR_NUMBER" --approve --body-file "$DEVFLOW_BODY"
+
+{ cat > "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" <<'EOF'
+## Requested Changes
+1. **Security**: Input validation missing in `handleLogin`
+2. **Performance**: N+1 query in user list endpoint
+EOF
+} && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/redact-secrets.cjs" \
+    "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" "$DEVFLOW_BODY" \
+  && gh pr review "$PR_NUMBER" --request-changes --body-file "$DEVFLOW_BODY"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Review Threads (GraphQL)
+
+The fetch recipe is in `github-api.md`.
+
+### Reply to a Review Thread
+
+```bash
+printf '%s\n' "$REPLY_BODY" > "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" \
+  && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/redact-secrets.cjs" \
+    "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" "$DEVFLOW_BODY" \
+  && gh api graphql -f query='
+  mutation($threadId: ID!, $body: String!) {
+    addPullRequestReviewThreadReply(input: {
+      pullRequestReviewThreadId: $threadId
+      body: $body
+    }) {
+      comment {
+        id
+        body
+      }
+    }
+  }
+' -f threadId="$THREAD_ID" -F body=@"$DEVFLOW_BODY"
+```
+
+### Resolve a Review Thread
+
+The resolve condition is stated once, in the Git agent's D9 gate. This reference holds the mutation, not the rule that calls it.
+
+```bash
+gh api graphql -f query='
+  mutation($threadId: ID!) {
+    resolveReviewThread(input: { threadId: $threadId }) {
+      thread {
+        id
+        isResolved
+      }
+    }
+  }
+' -f threadId="$THREAD_ID"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Posting Violations
+
+```bash
+# VIOLATION: Comment on line not in diff
+gh api -X POST "repos/.../pulls/${PR}/comments" -f path="unchanged_file.ts" -F line=50
+
+# VIOLATION: Missing commit_id
+gh api -X POST "repos/.../pulls/${PR}/comments" -F body=@"$DEVFLOW_BODY" -f path="file.ts"
+
+# VIOLATION: No rate limiting between comments
+for file in "${FILES[@]}"; do
+    gh api -X POST "repos/.../pulls/${PR}/comments" -F body=@"$DEVFLOW_BODY" -f path="$file"
+done
+```
