-A structured pass over a diff that returns ranked findings. Ported from Claude Code's built-in `/code-review`, read out of the 2.1.220 binary `claude/action.yaml` pins. The Codex harness has no built-in equivalent, and on Claude the built-in carries `disable-model-invocation`, which no tend prompt lifts. This copy is tend-owned: reachable from the model on either harness.
