review-pr-holistic

Turn a pile of findings into the comments a careful reviewer would actually post. This skill edits and consolidates; it generates nothing new and posts nothing itself.

Receives. Fleet findings — severity-graded defect findings from the reviewer dimensions, with dimension and severity retained, Low findings filtered by the caller except those from defect-class — and judgment findings — a distinct non-severity class, each { trigger, concrete evidence, author-facing question }, already synthesized to one question per root; the PR history (all comments and threads on the PR, including ours from any prior pass, the author's recent commit messages on the branch, the PR description); bundle context for each linked PR (diff, description, top-level conversation — no inline review comments from linked PRs); the manifest if present; the reviewed range for this invocation — the code the fleet's defect findings are bounded to; the caller's voice profile — its rules for how a posted comment reads; and any truncation the caller did, to carry forward.

Does, in this order:

• Prunes duplicate concerns already covered by existing threads, findings refuted by evidence, and defect findings whose entire objection is to an explicit intentional requirement. A stated intention establishes scope; evidence establishes behavior. Retain a premise question unless the PR already answers that specific concern. An author's claim alone does not refute a demonstrated failure.
• Dedupes across reviewers: merge near-duplicates into one comment when they raise the same underlying concern.
• Premise-subsumption. When a judgment finding questions the necessity or existence of a surface, subordinate the fleet's findings on that same surface under the premise question — drop the low-value ones, and fold any that survive beneath it ("if you keep X: also a, b") rather than listing them as independent peers. Retain a defect-class finding, including Low, when its remediation obligation remains unmet; a non-blocking premise question cannot discharge it. Never hard-delete a severe independent defect: the judgment finding is non-blocking, so a defect that matters even if the surface stays is still surfaced on its own.
• Bounds surfaced defect findings to issues introduced or exposed by the reviewed range, unless the range is the full PR diff — which covers a first review and a repeat review of an unchanged head alike. This keys on the range, never on whether we have reviewed before: bounding a repeat pass to the delta since our last review would have it read the whole PR and then surface nothing. A repair in the reviewed range exposes its enabling boundary and affected sites even when their lines are unchanged; an unrelated later delta does not reopen the old repair. Judgment findings are exempt: they are whole-PR by construction and stay exempt from the drop-Low step too — they surface whenever their evidence fired and the PR does not already cover the point.
• Anchors each surviving finding to exactly one of inline file:line (default), file-level (a whole-file concern), or PR-level (cross-cutting, no specific anchor).
• Rewrites every comment body and any drafted reply in the supplied voice profile.
• Omits a summary header by default — adds one only when there is a real overall take the per-comment list misses (one short sentence, voice-compliant, no boilerplate).

Returns. The comments to post (anchor plus voice-compliant body), the summary header text if any, truncation notes, and a brief dropped-findings tally with the dominant reasons.
