description	Review the problem-report queue one item at a time — fix PRs on this repo and owner-escalated tickets from locveil-reports (VWB-26). Invoke when the user asks to review reports, check the inbox, or triage the queue, or when a session-start reminder flags pending items.

/inbox — problem-report owner review (bridge lens)

The interactive review loop for the problem-reporting system (the cross-repo design in locveil-voice/docs/design/problem_reports.md §8; the bridge's participation is docs/design/problem_reports_bridge.md). Reports land as tickets in the private locveil/locveil-reports repo; a GitHub-hosted Claude triages each one and leaves it in one of two states that need the owner: a fix PR open on this repo, or an escalated ticket (needs-owner). This skill walks that queue one item at a time, with the owner deciding each.

The reports repo is the source of truth for the queue — not this repo's PR list. Every actionable item has a locveil-reports ticket; a fix PR is linked from its ticket.

1. Gather the queue

Two buckets, bridge lens only (the voice twin is the voice repo's /inbox):

# fix PRs awaiting review (ticket carries the PR link)
gh issue list --repo locveil/locveil-reports --label fix-pr-open --label lens:bridge \
  --state open --json number,title,url

# escalations awaiting an owner decision or reply
gh issue list --repo locveil/locveil-reports --label needs-owner --label lens:bridge \
  --state open --json number,title,url

If both are empty: say the inbox is clear and stop. Otherwise report the count and start the walk.

2. Walk one item at a time

Never batch. For each ticket, present it, do the reading, recommend, then wait for the owner's decision before touching anything. Move to the next only when the current one is resolved or the owner says skip.

A fix-pr-open ticket

1. Read the ticket + the triage comment (gh issue view <n> --repo locveil/locveil-reports --comments). A handed-over ticket carries the voice lens's handover comment — what they already ruled out.
2. Open the linked PR here (gh pr view <pr> --json title,body,files,additions,deletions; gh pr diff <pr>).
3. Verify the finding independently — do not trust the triage. The cloud triage reasons from a bundle it cannot re-run against live hardware, and a report is often triggered by a transient or a dev-session artifact. Reproduce or refute: run the affected tests (from backend/: uv run pytest tests/ -q), check the catalog claim against contracts/catalog/catalog.golden.json, read the cited code. Hold the PR to this repo's gates: suite green, uv run pyright 0, uv run lint-imports clean (hexagonal-architecture), cd ui && npm run check && npm run build if ui/ is touched, and the contract drift test if it changes the catalog/OpenAPI surface. A triage PR must NOT touch ledger/journal files — those are the owner's (see step 5).
4. Give a plain verdict: merge / revise / reject, with the one reason that decides it.
5. On the owner's call:
   • merge → gh pr merge <pr> --squash --delete-branch (removes the triage's remote branch; also delete any local review branch you created, e.g. git branch -D pr-<n>-review); close the ticket with a note (gh issue close <n> --repo locveil/locveil-reports --comment "..."); then do the ledger's half yourself: the merged fix is work — file/complete it per every-task-in-the-ledger + read-at-start-record-at-completion (journal entry; DONE row at sorted position — the ledger-discipline triad applies).
   • revise → make the changes on the PR branch (or ask triage to, via a ticket comment), push, re-review.
   • reject → gh pr close <pr> --delete-branch + close the ticket explaining why (a false positive is a normal outcome; record it so the pattern is visible).

A needs-owner ticket

1. Read the ticket + triage comment. Triage escalates for a decision OR because the reporter needs more information (v1 has no user registry, so unclear reports always come here — usually with a drafted reply in the reporter's language ready for approval).
2. If a reply is drafted: present it, let the owner approve/edit, then post it as a ticket comment. The reporter has no GitHub account — the reply is for the owner's own out-of-band relay.
3. If it's a decision (dedup, not-a-bug, needs-voice-handover): recommend, act on the owner's call (comment, relabel lens:voice for a handover — mind the ping-pong guard: one bounce each way maximum, then it stays needs-owner — or close), one line of reasoning.

3. Close out

After the walk, summarize what changed (merged / rejected / replied / handed over / skipped). Leave anything the owner deferred in place — the queue is durable; it'll resurface next /inbox.

Notes

• Leak fence still applies here. Ticket bundles carry household data (logs, rooms, configs, free text); this repo's PRs and commits must stay technical. Don't paste bundle contents into a public PR or commit message.
• Read-only is safe. Listing and reading (steps 1–2) touch nothing. Only merges, closes, comments, and pushes change state, and each waits for an explicit owner decision.
• Never live-repro against the house: verification is tests-only — don't start a second backend against the real broker (client-id collision + restore-actuation risk).
