Finishes and deletes quest/m0/token-waste/review-carry.md.

The quest assumed quest merge gates on the ## Review record. It does not: only agents judge whether a review counts, from /quest-merge, which already exempts diff-identical heads, and a workflow audit found agents misapplied that 10 times in four days. This turns that judgment into a fact.

Summary

• quest status <pr> prints a new review-record <state> <sha> line, or review-record -. The SHA is the last full SHA the PR body's ## Review section names (a round's record, or a later line for low-severity fixes or a skip). The state is current when it is the head; diff-identical when GitHub's three-dot compare diff from the base to the head equals the one to the reviewed head; stale otherwise; unknown, with a warning, when GitHub cannot compare (for example a diff too large to render).
• The record name is review-record, distinct from the existing review current|stale ... lines for GitHub reviews.
• /quest-merge reads the line instead of comparing diffs; its diff-identical exemption moved into the line, and the judgment-only exemptions (conflict-free base merges, suggested patch, low-severity fixes, fixer fixes, pick answers) stay with agents. /quest-review and /quest-complete name the line where they decide whether a review counts.
• Comments and README text that claimed a "land gate" reads the record now name quest status or /quest-merge.
• Only the last SHA is compared, so a hostile body naming many SHAs costs at most two compare requests.

Decisions

• How to stop the send-backs: ✅ 1, a quest status fact (rejected: 2, quest merge gates on the record; 3, reword the skills only; 4, delete the quest). Settled by the user in /quest-complete on 2026-11-10.
• The diff comparison uses GitHub's compare API with the diff media type rather than a local checkout, so quest status keeps working anywhere. Chosen by the implementer.
• A failed compare reports unknown with a warning rather than failing quest status, as the auto-merge head already does. Chosen by the implementer.

Public API

• quest status plain output gains a review-record line after review-decision; --json gains reviewRecord: { state, head } | null. Additive, no migration.
• Internal: RequestOptions.accept for non-JSON media types.
• No wire impact.

Validation

• quest gate just check: passed.
• quest gate just test: passed, 1187 tests, including new cases for current, diff-identical, stale, unknown, and SHAs outside the section.

Reviewed head: a02715f

P2 — src/cli/status.ts:228–235: preserve status output when the diff request times out. The unknown fallback handles only returned 404/406/422 responses. If a large comparison repeatedly returns a 5xx (for example 502), GitHub.request retries and then throws (src/cli/github.ts:307–321), so this new optional comparison aborts all of quest status after its other facts were collected. This contradicts the documented failed-compare fallback and makes status unavailable precisely for difficult-to-render diffs. Handle exhausted comparison failures as unknown with a warning, and add a test where ordinary status reads succeed but the compare returns 502 through its retries.

Direction: reporting review coverage separately from review trust is useful; the current-head shortcut, bounded two-comparison path, and local-head guard in the review skill are sensible. Fix the failure isolation above before relying on this as an informational status field.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static inspection of the patch, request retry/error handling, record writer/parser, and tests. No code, tests, builds, or live compare-timeout experiment executed.

Walkthrough

The change adds review-record to quest status. It identifies the last full SHA in the PR body’s Review section and reports whether it matches the head, has an identical diff, is stale, or could not be compared. The status output, tests, README, and skill guidance now describe this record. Documentation also updates when /quest-merge counts the record.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review a0271

A failed comparison can prevent the entire PR status from appearing when it should report an unknown review state. Fix that fallback before merging; document the new JSON field as well.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 9 functions across 6 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head: 232a415

Compared with a02715f; base remains eaa0831. My prior P2 is fixed: src/cli/status.ts:228–243 now turns comparison request errors into a warning and unknown coverage, while preserving GitHubDeadline for the caller. This includes the Error raised when transient HTTP retries are exhausted. No new actionable findings in the incremental changes.

Direction: the comparison now behaves as optional status information rather than making unrelated status facts unavailable. Verification limits: GitHub-only static review, no tests or live requests executed. The added 403 case exercises the thrown-error fallback; it does not directly exercise repeated 502 responses through the retry loop.
