Fixes this failure: make the agent post to the private timeline by default and require an explicit public flag for any external update. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.
Fixes GraphQL 'query complexity limit exceeded' errors when an agent fetches all review threads on a PR. Use it when a single big threads query is rejected for being too expensive. Key trigger: the complexity-limit error on a review-threads query.
Fixes agents reviewing closed PRs by checking PR state before posting. Use when the agent posts to merged/closed PRs. Not for reviews posted before close.

Fixes review agents silently losing comments past GitHub's inline comment limits by batching and summarizing. Use when some agent comments never appear. Not for comments rejected with errors.
Fixes review agents spamming re-review requests on every CI rerun by gating on new commits. Use when the agent re-requests review without new changes. Not for legitimate re-review after pushes.
Fixes review agents reviewing the base branch instead of the PR head by fetching the correct ref. Use when the review discusses code not in the PR. Not for stale-head reviews.
Fixes review agents double-posting identical reviews by adding idempotency. Use when the same review appears twice on a PR. Not for two genuinely different reviews.
Fixes review agents commenting on the wrong PR due to pagination indexing bugs. Use when agent comments land on a different PR than intended. Not for comments on the right PR but wrong lines.
Fixes Greptile review timeouts on large PRs by shrinking the review scope. Use when Greptile times out instead of posting a review. Not for Greptile findings disputes.
Fixes Prow/Tide presubmit context failures by retriggering or fixing the failing job. Use when Tide reports a presubmit context failed. Not for GitHub Actions check failures.
Fixes review agents crashing on deleted PR branches by handling 404s gracefully. Use when the branch is deleted mid-review. Not for 404s on the PR itself.
Fixes review agents degrading to plain comments by granting the token write scope or documenting the limitation. Use when the agent cannot submit formal reviews. Not for agents with write access.

Fix for review agents that request changes on draft PRs, which cannot be merged anyway and where early verdicts just create noise. Use when the bot blocks or nags on drafts, reviewers get change requests on work-in-progress code, or draft authors complain about premature reviews. Key triggers: draft PRs receiving form…
