+"""Advisory PR reviewer.
+
+Posts review comments on opted-in repos. It is advisory only: it never
+approves, never blocks, and never comments on bot-authored PRs — the guard
+against the pipeline nudging humans to merge its own work. Maintainers opt a
+PR out with a label.
+
+The verdict is produced by the agent reviewer (`review_agent`); this module
+holds the shared vocabulary and rendering it builds on — the PR/finding/result
+types, the prompt text the agent brief reuses (`build_prompt`), the payload
+parser (`result_from_data`), and the sanitizing formatters that turn a result
+into a comment.

+finding.
+
+When the prompt states today's date, trust it over any assumption from your
+training when judging dates, versions, or timelines.

+Secret values are REDACTED to `***` in your tool output by the harness. If a
+command's output shows `***` where a credential or expanded variable would
+be, that is the redaction artifact — NOT evidence the source file contains a
+literal `***`. Judge what a file contains by reading the file, and remember
+your session runs in a scrubbed environment: a shell test that depends on
+the deployment's env vars (tokens, keys) cannot reproduce the deployed
+behavior, so do not report deployment-env expansions as broken based on how
+they expand for you.
+
+Report only defects you can point to in the diff: correctness bugs, security
+issues, resource leaks, missing error handling, and tests that would pass with
+the bug present. When current file contents are provided, verify claims against
+them before reporting.
+
+Include findings you are uncertain about, with a confidence level — but every
+finding must rest on evidence in the provided context. Do not report
+possibilities the provided context already disproves, and do not speculate
+about repo state, history, or external systems you cannot see; if something
+material is unverifiable from the context, say so in one line in the notes
+instead of raising a finding.
+
+Do not report: style preferences, naming opinions, or restatements of what the
+diff does — the one exception is the `prose` lens, which reports plain-English
+problems in text people read, each with its rewrite. If you find nothing, say
+so.
