# Frontloads what a week of tool-usage artifacts showed the reviewer fetching for
# itself, one denied command at a time. Over 109 runs it averaged 19.5 Bash calls and
# 5.2 permission denials, and 86% of runs hit at least one; runs with no denials
# averaged 14 turns and 98s against 37 turns and 270s for runs with five or more, and
# that gap holds inside every PR-size band. The four blocks below are the four things
# it kept reaching for: the diff (re-fetched up to 10x in one review, usually as a
# compound `gh pr diff | head` that the allowlist cannot match), CI status (it cannot
# run tests, so it approved PRs saying "reviewed statically"), the diff since its own
# last review (attempted as `git diff <prior-sha>..HEAD`, impossible under
# fetch-depth: 1), and the PR conversation.

# Nine API reads feed the prompt now. A failure in this step *skips* the review
# step, and with it the notify step's failure check, so the PR would get no review
# and no explanation. Every command below is guarded individually; this is the
# backstop that keeps a bug in one block from costing the PR its review.
#
# What it costs when it fires: pr_context is appended to $GITHUB_OUTPUT once, at the
# end, so an abort anywhere before that leaves the output unset and the prompt gets
# an *empty* <pr_context> -- not a partial one. review_cycle and threads are written
# earlier and survive. Each degraded block carries a sentence saying what is
# missing, but a degraded step carries nothing, so the prompt tells the reviewer to
# fetch what it needs itself when the block is empty. Without that line the prompt
# would be telling it not to re-fetch context it never received.

# block renders whatever jq makes of it instead of the guarded fallback sentence.

# one permission denial — 1,562 denials across 7,819 turns. Search was the leading
# hypothesis for what the allowlist withheld, and the first week of these artifacts
# refuted it: 86% of 109 runs still hit a denial, 5.2 per run, and in runtimedb the
# rate went up. The artifact could not say why, because tool *names* are not the
# answer -- 520 of 567 denials were "Bash", and Bash is every command there is.
#
# So the projection carries a command label now, and the labels come from the fixed
# vocabulary in CMD_JQ, never from the transcript. That distinction is the whole
# design. Never upload the execution log as-is: it holds every tool input and result,
# the runner has a readable git credential (checkout persists one via includeIf into
# $RUNNER_TEMP/git-credentials-*.config), Read is unrestricted, and ::add-mask::
# scrubs the job log but not artifacts -- so a raw upload turns anything the reviewer
# happened to read into a downloadable file. A prefix of the command string would be
# the same leak in miniature: `cat /home/runner/work/_temp/git-credentials-*.config`
# is a path, and paths are what the leak assertions in tests/tool-usage-test.sh exist
# to keep out. Matching each command against a closed set of labels and emitting the
# label bounds the output to strings this file already contains.
#
# The review step is continue-on-error so a failed review still reaches the notify
# step; empty execution_file means it wrote nothing, hence the output guard. Both
# steps here are diagnostic and gate a required org-wide check, so both are
# continue-on-error -- losing a metric must never turn a passing review red.

# one allowlisted command and counting its alternation as a pipe would inflate
