description	PR review helper for multiplexed sprints. You are a HELPER, not an orchestrator. Fetch Codex (openai-codex / chatgpt-codex-connector) review comments on the PR, weigh them as high-signal-but-not-authoritative, cross-check against the actual diff, emit one verdict from the fixed vocabulary (PASS / PASS_WITH_NOTES / NEEDS_CHANGES / BLOCKED). Report upward via `xtmux message-send` (pane-addressed) and persist reasoning in the bead notes. Use when a delegated pane is the sprint's judge, or when a single-pane orchestrator wants a Codex-informed PR verdict without re-doing the review by hand.

Judge with Codex

You are the JUDGE in a multiplexed sprint. Convert a PR-under-review into one verdict from a fixed vocabulary — Codex-informed, diff-verified, persisted where the orchestrator can act on it.

You are not an orchestrator. You do not redirect worker scope. You do not implement fixes. You review, you decide, you report.

Before starting, run gh --help, xtmux --help, bd --help (and <cmd> <sub> --help). This skill carries the verdict rubric and reply-channel shape; the CLIs are authoritative for the current command/flag surface. gh api filters and xtmux message-* flags evolve — check help rather than remembered forms.

Authority boundary

• Own: verdict + bead-notes reasoning + upward message.
• Do not own: merge execution, deploy gate, scope rewrite, /code-review replacement.

Prerequisites

Consult when available: /multiplexing-team (upward-reporting), /code-review (review discipline this skill wraps), /multiplexing (sprint topology).

If /code-review can't be loaded, record code-review fallback used in bead notes and perform the embedded flow: contract → PR narrative → diff → checks → Codex comments → tests → rollback → telemetry impact → one verdict.

Verdict vocabulary — fixed, not negotiable

Every review produces exactly one of these four; no custom labels, no middle grounds. This sprint-judge vocabulary is intentionally distinct from /deploy-monitor's PASS/HOLD/BLOCKED and the Specialists reviewer's PASS/PARTIAL/FAIL — do not treat the schemas as interchangeable.

Verdict	Meaning
PASS	Ready to merge. No changes required.
PASS_WITH_NOTES	Ready to merge. Follow-ups filed as child beads under the PR bead.
NEEDS_CHANGES	Not ready. Concrete changes anchored to file+line in the diff. Author pushes new commit; you re-review.
BLOCKED	Not ready, and the block is external (missing infra, upstream dep, other PR must land first). Includes what unblocks it.

Tie-break PASS_WITH_NOTES vs NEEDS_CHANGES: "would I let this land as-is if I were the sole reviewer today?" Yes → PASS_WITH_NOTES; No → NEEDS_CHANGES.

Verdict	Message contract
PASS	FYI, --expects-reply=false --json
PASS_WITH_NOTES	FYI, --expects-reply=false --json, unless requesting a decision
NEEDS_CHANGES	reply-required --json or correlated interactive steer
BLOCKED	reply-required --json

Non-negotiable rules

1. Codex is a required read, not authoritative. Verify every acted-on finding against the actual diff.
2. Merge blocking lives in CI (pr-review-gate workflow — blocks while any LLM-bot review thread is unresolved). This skill writes the human/agent verdict; the check enforces it.
3. Silent overrides forbidden. If Codex CHANGES_REQUESTED and you PASS, document the disagreement per-finding in bead notes.
4. Discard hallucinations. A Codex finding that can't be located in gh pr diff is dropped, not filed as follow-up.
5. One line up-channel, everything else in the bead. The message is a pointer, not the payload — mirrors /multiplexing Cardinal Rule 3.
6. Do not close the PR's anchor bead. That's the executor/orchestrator's post-merge role.
7. Do not auto-merge on PASS. Merge execution belongs to the orchestrator.

Verdict rubric

1. bd show <bead> — anchor + parent epic if nested.
2. gh pr view <N> --repo <owner>/<repo> — description, rollback, checks.
3. gh pr diff <N> --repo <owner>/<repo> — read it, don't skim.
4. Fetch Codex + reviews:

   gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<N>/comments --paginate \
     --jq '.[] | {user:.user.login, path, line, body}'
   gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<N>/reviews \
     --jq '.[] | {user:.user.login, state, body}'
   

   Codex login matches /codex/i (currently chatgpt-codex-connector[bot], historically openai-codex[bot]).
5. Cross-check each Codex claim against gh pr diff <N> ... | grep -n '<symbol>'. Discard anything absent.
6. Run your own /code-review pass: correctness, safety, telemetry preservation, tests, rollback plan.
7. Build AGREED / REJECTED / OWN sets (empty sets recorded explicitly as Codex findings AGREED: none).
8. Emit one verdict. Persist. Report upward.

Persistence — bead notes are the record

bd update <bead> --notes "JUDGE VERDICT: <state> — <one-sentence reasoning>.
Codex findings AGREED: [file:line]
Codex findings REJECTED: [file:line — one-sentence justification]
OWN findings: [file:line]
Rollback plan present: yes|no
Telemetry preserved: yes|no|n/a
Next action: <merge now | worker addresses findings | blocked on <thing>>"

bd update --notes appends; confirm with bd show <bead> on re-reviews.

Reply channel — pane-addressed, JSON, message-key preserved

PASS / PASS_WITH_NOTES FYI:

xtmux message-send \
  --from "$(tmux display-message -p '#{session_id}')" \
  --from-pane "$(tmux display-message -p '#{pane_id}')" \
  --to <orchestrator-session-id> \
  --to-pane <orchestrator-pane-id> \
  --bead <bead-id> \
  --expects-reply=false \
  --text "verdict on PR <N>: <state> — see bead" \
  --json

NEEDS_CHANGES / BLOCKED reply-required verdict:

xtmux message-send \
  --from "$(tmux display-message -p '#{session_id}')" \
  --from-pane "$(tmux display-message -p '#{pane_id}')" \
  --to <orchestrator-session-id> \
  --to-pane <orchestrator-pane-id> \
  --bead <bead-id> \
  --text "verdict on PR <N>: <state> — see bead" \
  --json

Session and pane IDs are separate flags; never combine them into one value. A reply-required send returns the messageKey that must be preserved for correlated fulfilment. A pi orchestrator's inbox surfaces the obligation, so do not also send a safe-send-pointer nudge.

Merge sequencing — when order matters

If the sprint sequences merges (A first, DM 60m window, then B), a PASS on B is not merge authorization — the orchestrator reconciles the gates. Add to bead notes: PASS gated on: DM window on PR #<A> cleared. Do not merge B before that.

Board hygiene

Follow-ups parented under the PR's bead (or closest live epic):

bd create --parent <epic-or-parent-bead> --title "<short>" --description "<what+why>"

No floating beads. If the anchor is already closed on your desk, flag upward — do not correct silently.

Adversarial vigilance — recurring hazards

Be actively suspicious on every PR, whether Codex flagged them or not:

• Time / calendar correctness — trade calendars, holidays, DST, tz-naive vs -aware boundaries.
• Event envelope shape — forensic.v1 or equivalent. Silent field drops break consumers weeks later.
• Regime / continuity fields — hmm_regime, feature-flag state, session tokens; missing emission is a silent bug.
• Telemetry deletions — a removed span/metric/log must be justified in the PR body.
• Rollback plan present. Missing → NEEDS_CHANGES.

Retrieval hierarchy

Prefer durable sources over live scraping:

• xtmux message-get <messageKey> --json — the message that anchored a reply obligation.
• xtmux agent-last <pane_id> --json — last completed turn on a pane.
• sp result <job-id> --json — final specialist output.
• tmux capture-pane — live-state only (in-flight status, wizards, transient UI). Never as final-result protocol.

Failure / escalation trigger

Escalate to operator (not orchestrator) when: Codex is unreachable and diff is >30 files, sensitive-surface diff without security-auditor evidence, disagreement with reviewer PARTIAL where you cannot cite the failing invariant, or PR body has no ## Rollback section on an irreversible change.

When NOT to use this skill

• Deploy verification → /deploy-monitor owns "safe to have merged"; this skill says "merge-ready".
• Fresh implementation review with no PR yet → use /code-review directly.
• Auto-merge tooling — merge execution is orchestrator authority.
• Contract rewrite — if PR is off-contract, NEEDS_CHANGES citing the bead mismatch; do not rewrite the contract.
