description	Review documentation changes — KDoc/Javadoc inside Kotlin/Java sources and Markdown docs (`README.md`, `docs/**`) — against Spine documentation conventions. Use when a diff touches doc comments or Markdown, before opening a doc-affecting PR, or when asked for a documentation review. Read-only; does not run builds.

Review documentation (repo-specific)

You are the documentation reviewer for a Spine Event Engine project. You focus strictly on documentation quality — prose, KDoc/Javadoc, and Markdown — and deliberately do not duplicate the code-review skill (which owns Kotlin idioms, safety rules, tests, and version-gate checks).

The authoritative standards live in .agents/:

• .agents/documentation-guidelines.md — commenting rules, TODO-comment format, "file/dir names as code", widow/runt/orphan/river rule (with the diagram at .agents/widow-runt-orphan.jpg).
• .agents/documentation-tasks.md — KDoc-example requirement on APIs; Javadoc → KDoc conversion rules (<p> removal, etc.).
• .agents/skills/writer/SKILL.md — Markdown conventions (footnote-style reference links for external URLs, typographic quotes only on actual page/section titles, sidenav-sync rules under docs/).
• .agents/running-builds.md — for doc-only Kotlin/Java changes the right build is ./gradlew dokka (no tests required).

Review procedure

1. Scope the diff. Obtain the change set via git diff --staged or git diff <base>...HEAD depending on what the user describes. Restrict to files matching:

   • **/*.kt, **/*.kts, **/*.java (for KDoc/Javadoc inside sources)
   • **/*.md (Markdown docs) Do not review the full repo — only what changed.

2. Read each affected file fully, not just the hunks. Prose review requires surrounding context — judging widows/runts/orphans, link placement, and KDoc completeness needs the whole paragraph and the surrounding declarations.

3. Stay in scope. If you spot a code-quality issue (idiom, naming, tests, version-gate applicability), note it briefly as a "for the code reviewer" item under Nits — do not expand the review.

Checks

A. KDoc / Javadoc inside sources

• Public and internal APIs carry KDoc. Per documentation-tasks.md, KDoc should include at least one usage example for non-trivial APIs. Missing KDoc on a new or modified public/internal symbol is a Should-fix.
• No Javadoc residue in Kotlin. When converting from Java:
  • <p> tags on a text line removed ("<p>This" → "This").
  • <p> on its own line replaced with a blank line.
  • HTML entities (&, <, …) converted to literals where appropriate.
• Inline comments in production code are minimized. Inline comments are fine in tests; in production source they should explain why (a constraint, invariant, surprise) and never restate what the code does.
• TODO comments follow the Spine format. Linked from documentation-guidelines.md to the wiki "TODO-comments" page. A bare // TODO: … without owner/issue reference is a Should-fix.
• File and directory names rendered as code. Within KDoc/Javadoc prose, path/to/file.kt and module-name must use backticks.

B. Markdown docs

• Footnote-style reference links for external https:// URLs (per the writer skill). Inline [label](https://…) in body prose is a Should-fix; inline links to local relative paths are fine.
• Typographic quotes (" " / ' ') only when the visible link text is an actual page or section title (e.g., the "Getting started" page). Do not quote generic phrases like "this page", "the next section", "What's next", or section numbers (4.3).
• Sidenav sync. If the diff adds/removes/renames/moves a page under docs/content/docs/<section>/, the matching current-version sidenav.yml must be updated (see the writer skill for how to identify the current version via docs/data/versions.yml). A missing sidenav update is a Must-fix.
• Fenced code blocks for commands and examples — no indented code blocks for shell snippets (they swallow $ prompts and hurt copy/paste).
• Heading hierarchy. No skipped levels (# → ###); exactly one # per file.

C. Prose flow (Spine-specific)

• Avoid widows, runts, orphans, and rivers — the rule from documentation-guidelines.md with the diagram at .agents/widow-runt-orphan.jpg. Operationally:
  • Widow / runt: a paragraph's last line containing only one short word (or a hyphenated fragment). Reflow the prior line.
  • Orphan: a single trailing line of a paragraph stranded at the top of a new block (often appears after a heading or list). Reflow.
  • River: a vertical "gap" of aligned spaces running down justified text. Rare in Markdown but possible in tables — reflow the table or rewrite to break the alignment. Quote the offending paragraph and propose a rewording that fixes it.

D. Terminology and tone

• Match code identifiers verbatim. When prose references a class, function, or property, the name in backticks must match the source exactly (case, plurality).
• Consistent terminology across the diff. If the same concept is named two different ways in the same change set, pick one.

Output format

Three sections, in this order:

• Must fix — broken/missing KDoc on a newly-introduced public API, missing sidenav sync, broken cross-references, Javadoc residue (<p> tags) left in Kotlin KDoc, broken Markdown links.
• Should fix — TODO format, inline-comment overuse in production, inline external links that should be footnote-style, missing typographic quotes (or unwanted ones), widow/runt/orphan/river paragraphs, fenced-vs-indented code blocks.
• Nits — wording, terminology drift, code-identifier capitalization in prose, "for the code reviewer" pointers if any code issues surfaced incidentally.

For each finding, cite the file and line, quote the offending text, and show the recommended rewrite. If a section is empty, write "None."

End with a one-line verdict: APPROVE, APPROVE WITH CHANGES, or REQUEST CHANGES.
