$ca-review — diff review

\n

Read-only review of a change. Routes to dispatching-parallel-agents (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/routines/dispatching-parallel-agents/SKILL.md): dispatches the reviewer fleet by path matrix, dedupes, then funnels through finding-triage → checkpoint-aggregator to a single verdict. No code is modified.

\n

The change under review does not have to be yours. $ca-review #123 reviews an inbound pull request through the same fleet, the same matrix, and the same triage. That is the point of issue #80: a tool that only reviews the diff you just wrote is a linter for authors, not a gate for a team, and reviewing code you did NOT write is where a governance gate earns its keep.

\n

It is an ARGUMENT, not a second command. The scope resolver already took one, the fleet is scope-agnostic, and every phase downstream operates on a diff regardless of where it came from — so a $ca-review-pr would be a whole public surface (catalog, three host projections, README counts, sidebar) whose only distinguishing feature is where the diff was fetched from.

\n

Flow

\n
    \n

  1. Resolve scope from $ARGUMENTS:

    \n\n

    For a PR target, resolve the diff ONCE and review that text. Do not re-fetch per reviewer: the\nfleet runs in parallel, and a PR updated mid-review would otherwise have different reviewers\nreading different code and a triage that reconciles findings from two versions.

    \n
    2. \n

  2. Build the unit list by path matrix; each matched reviewer is one read-only unit:

    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    ReviewerDispatched when scope touches
    security-reviewerauth, middleware, secrets, deploy/CI, any security-sensitive path
    auth-crypto-reviewerauthn, crypto, key handling, secrets
    dependency-reviewerpackage.json, lockfiles, base images, dependency manifests
    migration-reviewerDB migration file add/modify
    coverage-auditorany source change (test coverage vs. obligations)
    architecture-drift-reviewercode that may diverge from accepted ADRs in .codearbiter/decisions/
    \n
    3. \n

  3. Route to dispatching-parallel-agents with that unit list (read-only batch — no collision check).\nIt dedupes overlapping findings, then funnels through finding-triage (severity + inline\n[NEEDS-TRIAGE] on out-of-scope items) → checkpoint-aggregator (single verdict).

    \n
    4. \n

  4. Surface the aggregated verdict: findings by severity, file:line, remediation, and the applicable\ncontrol from <project-root>/.codearbiter/security-controls.md for security findings.

    \n
    5. \n

  5. For a PR target, posting the verdict is a separate, confirmed step. Report locally first; post only on explicit instruction, with gh pr review <number> --comment --body-file <file>. A review comment on someone else's PR is outward-facing and effectively public the moment it lands — it notifies subscribers and cannot be un-sent. Never --request-changes or --approve from here: those carry merge authority, and this command produces a finding list, not a maintainer's decision.

    \n

Severity

\n\n

Hard gate

\n

Read-only — MUST NOT modify a file, and MUST NOT check out, merge, or otherwise move the repository to the PR's branch: reviewing an inbound PR means reading its DIFF, not adopting its code, and a checkout would run its content through hooks that trust the working tree. BLOCK on any CRITICAL or HIGH finding on your OWN change: it must be resolved before $ca-pr. On an inbound PR there is nothing local to block — the verdict is the deliverable. MUST NOT consume raw reviewer output — only the finding-triage → checkpoint-aggregator\nverdict. MUST NOT resolve a [CONFIRM-NN] surfaced during review by guessing.
