Elsa 3 Code Review: REQUEST_CHANGES + HIGH @ 778e925
Code Review, Round 1/4
Docs-only, and the evidence holds up. The rules section has the same two conflicts with the merge policy as elsa-core#8569, and the fix should be identical in both repos.
Blocking
- The merge gate is incomplete (reviewers.md:20). It says
APPROVE @ <head sha>plus green CI. The actual gate on elsa-studio is Elsa 3 Code Review APPROVE + HIGH on the exact head, green CI, and Greptile 5/5 on that same head. Any push voids the approval. Exception: if Greptile does not review the tip (out of credits or unavailable), APPROVE + HIGH plus green CI is enough, and the Code Review must say Greptile was required but unavailable. - "Pick exactly one" makes Greptile look optional (reviewers.md:16, 18, 20; AGENTS.md:6). Greptile sits alongside Copilot and CodeRabbit as one interchangeable pick, and "Do not request a second reviewer" stops an agent that picked another reviewer from re-triggering
@greptileaiafter a push. The result is no 5/5 on the tip. Suggested fix:- State that Greptile is a merge requirement here, not the advisory pick. It runs automatically on open; after every push, comment
@greptileaiuntil the current head shows 5/5. - Apply the one-reviewer limit only to the extra advisory reviewer (CodeRabbit or Copilot, both advisory only).
- On a Greptile decline or skip, point to the "required but unavailable" exception.
- AGENTS.md:6: replace "request exactly one live reviewer" with "follow its reviewer and merge-gate rules once the PR is open".
- State that Greptile is a merge requirement here, not the advisory pick. It runs automatically on open; after every push, comment
Non-blocking
- Same gap as the Greptile P2 on elsa-core#8569 (reviewers.md:16-17). CodeRabbit auto-reviews PRs into
main, so "request it right after the PR is open" leads to a duplicate@coderabbitai reviewthat uses up the hourly allowance. Add: "If your pick reviews automatically on this PR, wait for that run; request it manually only if no run appears or it is skipped." - Hard-coded details will go stale. These include the PR numbers and dates in Notes, "Installed 2026-10-03", "Plan allowance: 10 included reviews per hour", "currently get two automatic reviews" and "No out-of-credits messages". Keep Notes to stable behaviour and leave the evidence in the PR body. Line 21: "runs out of credits" is temporary and is handled per PR by the exception; suggest "is added, removed, or changes how it is requested".
- Copilot evidence predates the window. There was no Copilot activity on elsa-studio between 2026-09-19 and 2026-10-03; the last review was studio#1041 on 2026-09-14. "Live" is reasonable given ext#272 today. Row order differs from elsa-core; align them. Omitting the Code Quality row is a legitimate per-repo difference.
Verified
- Status rows match the PR activity from 2026-09-19 to 2026-10-03:
- AGENTS.md reference and path are correct. No secrets, internal agent names or internal paths.
- CI is green on the head. Greptile reports 5/5 on 778e925. No open threads.

as a policy change if those thresholds are intended; otherwise remove them and
align the rule with the existing Elsa APPROVE and green-CI gate.
- Around line 16-17: Update the reviewer guidance in `.github/reviewers.md` and

re-requesting it after each push, and remove permission to request CodeRabbit or
Copilot as additional reviewers.

Elsa 3 Code Review: APPROVE + HIGH @ d6e93b0
Code Review, Round 2/4
Both Round 1 blockers are fixed. The file is identical to elsa-core#8569 except for the repo name and the Code Quality row, which is rightly left out because that bot isn't active here.
Round 1 blockers
- Merge gate: fixed (reviewers.md:20-21). The file now states APPROVE + HIGH on the full head SHA, green CI and Greptile 5/5 on the same head, plus a re-confirm after any push. The exception for a head Greptile can't review is there.
- Greptile looking optional: fixed (lines 9, 16-18, 22; AGENTS.md:6). Greptile is required and re-requested after every push, and the extra advisory pick is limited to one, either CodeRabbit or Copilot. The duplicate-CodeRabbit gap is closed on line 17.
The stale details are gone and the row order matches elsa-core.
CodeRabbit threads (both withdrawn and resolved)
- "Keep Greptile as the only selected reviewer": not valid. Greptile is a required merge check, not the advisory pick. Re-requesting it after a push and picking one advisory reviewer are separate steps, and the team policy allows both.
- "Mark thresholds as a policy change": not valid. The file documents the existing gate (APPROVE + HIGH, green CI, Greptile 5/5 with the exception). The PR body now states that gate, and it no longer claims the gate is unchanged as APPROVE plus CI.
Non-blocking (same as elsa-core#8569)
- Line 10 and line 17: a manual
@coderabbitai reviewafter a push is unnecessary on PRs intomain, because CodeRabbit reviews new pushes automatically and the extra request uses up the hourly allowance. A future edit could say "only if no new run appears". "GitHub CLI 2.88 or later" is conservative (the edit command arrived in 2.87.0) and correct.
Verified on d6e93b0
- CI is all green.
- The "Greptile Review" check passes, and Greptile reports 5/5 with d6e93b0 as its last reviewed commit.
- No open review threads. No secrets, internal agent names or internal paths.

Why
Agents (Codex, Cursor and others) open most PRs here. The repository had no record of which automated reviewers actually work on it or how to request them, so agents guessed:
@copilot reviewcomments that do nothing, or Greptile triggers on repositories where it doesn't review. This adds that record and states the merge gate next to it, so an agent knows which reviews are required, which are advisory, and that the author never reviews its own PR.Change
.github/reviewers.md: one row per reviewer (status, how to request, stable notes) and the rules:@greptileaiafter every push.@coderabbitai reviewwhile its automatic review on amainPR is pending.APPROVE + HIGH @ <full 40-char head sha>, green CI, and Greptile 5/5 on that head. Any push needs a re-confirm. If Greptile can't review the head, APPROVE + HIGH plus green CI is enough, and the Code Review states Greptile was required and unavailable..github/reviewers.md: Greptile is required (re-request with@greptileaiafter each push), and request at most one additional advisory reviewer from the list once the PR is open."Docs only; no code or workflow changes. The table keeps only stable behaviour; the dated evidence lives below.
