+# Review Comment Handler Module
+
+## Context
+
+The CI Monitor (`oape-ci-monitor` Prow presubmit) provides CI failure monitoring via `monitor.sh` + `dispatch.sh`. The Review Comment Handler is a **standalone module** that runs alongside the CI monitor — it is architecturally independent and has no dependencies on other modules (auto-fix, retest, etc.).
+
+This module reads reviewer comments on PRs, determines which need attention, and invokes Claude Code CLI (agentic mode) to either make code changes or post explanations.
+
+### Prior Art: `openshift-eng/ai-helpers` address-review-pr
+
+Adapted from the production-tested [`address-review-pr`](https://github.com/openshift-eng/ai-helpers/tree/main/plugins/openshift-developer/skills/address-review-pr) skill:
+
+- **Two-pass comment fetching** — metadata first, full body only for kept items
+- **5-level categorization** — ACTION_INSTRUCTION > BLOCKING > CHANGE_REQUEST > QUESTION > SUGGESTION
+- **`check_replied.py`** — stdlib-only Python script (~350 lines) using `gh` CLI subprocess for duplicate reply detection via GraphQL + REST. No pip dependencies.
+- **Reply signature** — `*AI-assisted response via Claude Code*` for bot detection
+
+**Adaptations for our CI context:**
+
+| ai-helpers behavior | Our adaptation | Reason |
+|---------------------|----------------|--------|
+| `--preview` mode (interactive) | Removed | Headless in Prow |
+| Amend relevant commits | New commits only | No force-push in CI |
+| User-invoked slash command | Triggered as separate Prow step | Runs automatically |
+| Bot signatures: `hypershift-jira-solve-ci[bot]` | `openshift-app-platform-shift-bot` | Our bot identity |
+| No diff size or commit limits | `safety.sh` guardrails (500 lines, 5 commits/PR) | Automated bounds |
+
+---
+
+## What the User Gets
+
+**Before:** Reviewer comments ("rename this variable", "why did you use a pointer here?") sit unaddressed until a human returns.
+
+**After:** The review handler reads unresolved review threads, filters bot noise, and uses Claude to respond. Code change requests get a commit + push + reply. Questions get an explanation reply.
+
+**Developer experience:**
+1. Developer opens PR -> Prow CI runs (including `oape-ci-monitor`)
+2. Reviewers leave comments -> next `oape-ci-monitor` run picks them up
+3. Bot pushes fix commits for actionable feedback + replies to each thread
+4. Bot posts explanations for questions
+5. Developer returns to see mechanical feedback already handled
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Decisions
+
+### Decision 1: Separate Prow step (not inside `dispatch.sh`)
+
+**Problem:** `dispatch.sh` exits early when `OVERALL_STATUS == "passed"` (line 67-69) or `TRIGGER_COUNT == 0` (line 72-75). Review comments exist independently of CI status — a PR can have all-green CI but pending review comments.
+
+**Decision:** Add `review-handler.sh` as a separate command in `prow-ci-operator-config.yaml`, after `dispatch.sh`:
+
+```yaml
+/app/scripts/ci-monitor/monitor.sh
+/app/scripts/ci-monitor/dispatch.sh
+/app/scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh --pr-url "$PR_URL"
+```
+
+This guarantees the review handler runs regardless of CI status. The `entrypoint.sh` integration is a secondary path for on-demand/periodic runs.
+
+**Rejected alternative:** Restructuring `dispatch.sh` to not exit early — couples review handling to CI failure processing unnecessarily.
+
+### Decision 2: Claude in `--print` mode with tool use
+
+The review handler invokes `claude -p` (print mode) with `--permission-mode bypassPermissions` and `--allowedTools`. In print mode, Claude still has full tool access — it autonomously:
+- Reads files, makes edits
+- Runs `go build ./...` and `go vet ./...`
+- Commits via `git commit`
+- Posts replies via `gh api`
+
+Print mode is preferred for CI because it processes the prompt, executes tools, and exits deterministically — no interactive session. Tool restrictions via `--allowedTools` prevent destructive operations (push is excluded — all commits are batched and pushed by the outer script). A `timeout 300` wrapper caps each invocation at 5 minutes.
+
+### Decision 3: Claude CLI prerequisite — graceful degradation
+
+The handler checks for `claude --version` at startup and exits 0 with a warning if unavailable. This means it can be deployed before Claude CLI is installed in the container image.
+
+### Decision 4: One Claude invocation per thread
+
+Each review thread gets its own `claude` invocation with `timeout 300`. Per-thread is simpler, more auditable, and prevents one complex thread from consuming the entire budget.
+
+### Decision 5: `check_replied.py` as sole dedup mechanism
+
+Use `check_replied.py` as the **only** duplicate prevention mechanism. It's API-based, works across runs, and requires no state persistence.
+
+**Rejected alternative:** Dual dedup with `addressed[]` state arrays — creates state loading gaps between code paths (Prow step vs `entrypoint.sh`), batched-vs-per-thread update bugs, and dual-mechanism confusion.
+
+### Decision 6: Let Claude categorize (no bash keyword matching)
+
+Pass the raw comment to Claude with the SKILL.md guidance. Claude categorizes using the 5-level system described in the skill. Bash only determines: "has this thread been replied to?" (via `check_replied.py`) and "is this a bot comment?" (via `is_skip_user()`).
+
+**Rejected alternative:** 5-level categorization in bash via keyword regex (~50-100 lines) — Claude does this better, and the full comment text is passed to Claude anyway.
+
+### Decision 7: Thread building in Python (not bash)
+
+The thread grouping logic (parse 3 API response formats, group by `in_reply_to_id`, group by file proximity within 10 lines, filter bots/orphans/oversized) is ~200 lines of JSON manipulation. This is fragile in bash+jq. A `build_threads.py` script handles thread construction using the same stdlib-only, `subprocess`-based pattern as `check_replied.py`.
+
+### Decision 8: Self-contained clone
+
+Always do a fresh blobless clone. Use `git pull --ff-only` (not `--rebase`) to stay consistent with safety rules that forbid rebase.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **`safety.sh` stable** — the review handler sources it for `audit_log()`, `check_commit_limit()`, `gh_retry()`, etc.
+2. **GitHub App token** — required for pushing commits. Already set up in `prow-ci-operator-config.yaml` via the `openshift-app-platform-shift-github-bot` credential mount.
+3. **Python 3** — available in the UBI9 base image (confirmed in `ci-monitor.Dockerfile`).
+
+**NOT required:** auto-fix module, `dispatch.sh` activation, Node.js/npm (until Claude CLI container step).
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+```
+Step 1:  pr-agent-safety SKILL.md (safety rules for Claude prompts)
+Step 1b: address-review-comments SKILL.md + check_replied.py + build_threads.py
+Step 2:  review-handler.sh (core script — fetch, filter, Claude invoke)
+Step 3:  prow-ci-operator-config.yaml (wire as separate Prow step)
+Step 4:  entrypoint.sh integration (secondary path for on-demand runs)
+Step 5:  safety.sh update (raise MAX_COMMITS_PER_PR to 5)
+Step 6:  test-dry-run.sh updates (shellcheck + dry-run validation)
+Step 7:  Claude CLI in container image (Dockerfile update)
+Step 8:  Report section in entrypoint.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 1: Create `plugins/oape/skills/pr-agent-safety/SKILL.md`
+
+**Purpose:** Safety rules injected into Claude prompts via `cat`. Claude reads these before processing any review thread.
+
+**Content:**
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: PR Agent Safety
+description: Safety guardrails for the OAPE PR Lifecycle Agent
+---
+
+# PR Agent Safety Guardrails
+
+## File Modification Rules
+- NEVER modify: *.key, *.pem, *.crt, *.env, credentials.*, kubeconfig,
+  Dockerfile, Containerfile, .github/workflows/*, .tekton/*, Makefile,
+  rbac/*.yaml, clusterrole*.yaml, go.mod, go.sum
+- NEVER create files outside pkg/, internal/, api/, cmd/, test/
+
+## Git Operation Rules
+- NEVER use git push --force, git push -f, git rebase, git reset --hard
+- ALWAYS use git push origin HEAD (fast-forward only)
+- ALWAYS verify: go build ./... && go vet ./... before committing
+
+## Change Scope Rules
+- Minimal changes only — only modify what the review comment requests
+- One commit per thread, max 500 lines changed
+- Follow existing code style, naming conventions, and import organization
+
+## Response Rules
+- One response per thread — never respond via both inline AND general comment
+- Keep replies under 200 words
+- Admit uncertainty rather than making a potentially wrong change
+
+## Commit Message Format
+- fix: <description> — oape-pr-agent
+```
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `plugins/oape/skills/pr-agent-safety/SKILL.md` | Create |
+
+---
+
+### Step 1b: Create `plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/SKILL.md` + Python utilities
+
+**Purpose:** Guidance skill teaching Claude how to address review comments. Plus two Python utilities for thread building and duplicate detection.
+
+#### SKILL.md
+
+Adapted from [`address-review-pr` skill](https://github.com/openshift-eng/ai-helpers/tree/main/plugins/openshift-developer/skills/address-review-pr). Contains:
+
+- **5-level categorization guidance** — ACTION_INSTRUCTION > BLOCKING > CHANGE_REQUEST > QUESTION > SUGGESTION (Claude applies this, not bash)
+- **Making code changes** — read before writing, minimal changes, preserve style, verify compilation, one commit per thread
+- **Replying to comments** — template: "Done. [what changed]. [why]", signature, concise factual answers for questions
+- **Pre-push verification** — detect Makefile/go.mod, run appropriate verify commands, max 3 retries
+- **OpenShift operator conventions** — error handling, status conditions, RBAC markers, generated code reminders
+
+Key difference from upstream: the categorization is guidance for Claude, not bash-side preprocessing.
+
+#### `check_replied.py` — Duplicate Reply Prevention
+
+Copied from [`openshift-eng/ai-helpers`](https://github.com/openshift-eng/ai-helpers/blob/main/plugins/openshift-developer/skills/address-review-pr/check_replied.py), adapted:
+
+- **Stdlib-only** — uses `subprocess` to call `gh` CLI, no pip dependencies
+- **~350 lines**
+- `BOT_SIGNATURES` updated to include `openshift-app-platform-shift-bot`
+- `REPLY_SIGNATURE` kept as `*AI-assisted response via Claude Code*`
+- Exit codes: 0 (safe to reply), 1 (already replied), 2 (error — fail safe)
+
+#### `build_threads.py` — Thread Construction (replaces bash `build_thread_list()`)
+
+**Purpose:** Handles thread building in Python instead of ~200 lines of bash+jq.
+
+**Interface:**
+```bash
+python3 build_threads.py \
+  --owner "$OWNER" --repo "$REPO" --pr "$PR_NUMBER" \
+  --bot-user "$BOT_USER" \
+  --skip-users "openshift-ci,openshift-bot,dependabot,codecov,sonarcloud" \
+  --max-comment-size 5000 \
+  --output "$RUNNER_TEMP/review-threads.json"
+```
+
+**What it does:**
+1. **Two-pass fetch via `gh api`** — metadata first (IDs, authors, body length, path, line, original_line), then full body for kept items
+2. **Filter** — bot accounts (`is_skip_user`), orphaned comments (`line == null AND original_line == null`), oversized (>5000 chars, except `coderabbitai[bot]` reviews which get a 50K limit so their structured review bodies pass through as single threads).
+3. **Group inline comments** by `in_reply_to_id` into threads
+4. **Group by proximity** — inline comments on the same file within 10 lines of each other
+5. **Check replied** — calls `check_replied.py` per thread, marks as skip if already replied
+6. **Output** — JSON array of thread objects:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "thread_id": 12345,
+    "type": "inline|review-summary|top-level",
+    "action": "process|skip",
+    "skip_reason": "",
+    "file": "pkg/controller/reconciler.go",
+    "line": 42,
+    "comments": [
+      {"author": "reviewer", "body": "rename this", "created_at": "...", "id": 111}
+    ]
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Note: no `category` field — Claude determines that from the comment text.
+
+**Stdlib-only**, uses `subprocess` for `gh api` calls (same pattern as `check_replied.py` and existing scripts in `plugins/oape/skills/analyze-rfe/scripts/`).
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/SKILL.md` | Create |
+| `plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/check_replied.py` | Create (from ai-helpers) |
+| `plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/build_threads.py` | Create |
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Create `scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh`
+
+**Purpose:** Standalone script that fetches review threads via `build_threads.py`, then invokes agentic Claude per actionable thread.
+
+**Interface:**
+```
+review-handler.sh --pr-url <URL> [--dry-run]
+```
+
+**Script structure (~200 lines):**
+
+1. **Header + argument parsing** — source `safety.sh`, parse `--pr-url`, `--dry-run`, extract owner/repo/pr_number
+
+2. **Claude CLI check** — graceful degradation:
+   ```bash
+   if ! command -v claude &>/dev/null; then
+     echo "[review] Claude CLI not available — skipping review comment handling"
+     exit 0
+   fi
+   ```
+
+3. **`build_threads()` — delegate to Python:**
+   ```bash
+   build_threads() {
+     local owner="$1" repo="$2" pr_number="$3"
+     local build_threads_py="${OAPE_ROOT:-/app}/plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/build_threads.py"
+     local output="${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/review-threads-${owner}-${repo}-${pr_number}.json"
+
+     python3 "$build_threads_py" \
+       --owner "$owner" --repo "$repo" --pr "$pr_number" \
+       --bot-user "${BOT_USER:-openshift-app-platform-shift-bot}" \
+       --skip-users "${SKIP_USERS:-openshift-ci,openshift-bot,dependabot,codecov,sonarcloud}" \
+       --max-comment-size 5000 \
+       --output "$output" || { echo "[review] Thread building failed"; return 1; }
+
+     echo "$output"
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **`clone_and_checkout()` — self-contained:**
+   ```bash
+   clone_and_checkout() {
+     local owner="$1" repo="$2" pr_number="$3"
+     local workdir="${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/review-${owner}-${repo}-${pr_number}"
+
+     if [[ -d "$workdir/.git" ]]; then
+       cd "$workdir"
+       git pull --ff-only 2>/dev/null || true
+     else
+       gh_retry gh repo clone "${owner}/${repo}" "$workdir" -- --filter=blob:none --single-branch
+       cd "$workdir"
+       gh pr checkout "$pr_number"
+       git config user.name "${BOT_USER:-openshift-app-platform-shift-bot}"
+       git config user.email "267347085+${BOT_USER:-openshift-app-platform-shift-bot}@users.noreply.github.com"
+       git remote set-url origin "https://x-access-token:${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/${owner}/${repo}.git"
+     fi
+   }
+   ```
+   Uses `--ff-only` instead of `--rebase` (consistent with safety rules).
+
+5. **`address_thread()` — agentic Claude invocation per thread:**
+   ```bash
+   address_thread() {
+     local thread_json="$1"
+     local thread_id file thread_type
+     thread_id=$(echo "$thread_json" | jq -r '.thread_id')
+     file=$(echo "$thread_json" | jq -r '.file // empty')
+     thread_type=$(echo "$thread_json" | jq -r '.type')
+
+     # Check commit limit
+     local pr_commits
+     pr_commits=$(cat "${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/pr-review-commits-${PR_NUMBER}.txt" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
+     if ! check_commit_limit "$pr_commits"; then
+       audit_log "skipped" "review-comment" "$file" "" "commit limit reached"
+       return 0
+     fi
+
+     # Write thread context to temp file

+     fi
+

+
+     timeout 300 claude \

+       --allowedTools "Bash(git diff*),Bash(git add*),Bash(git commit*),Bash(git log*),Bash(git status*),Bash(git stash*),Bash(go *),Bash(make *),Bash(gh api*),Bash(gh pr comment*),Bash(python3*),Read,Edit" \
+       < "$prompt_file" \
+       2>"${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/claude-review-stderr-${thread_id}.txt" || claude_exit=$?
+
+     # Check for new commits
+     local new_commits
+     new_commits=$(git rev-list --count HEAD ^"$head_before" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
+     if [[ "$new_commits" -gt 0 ]]; then
+       local sha
+       sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
+       pr_commits=$((pr_commits + new_commits))
+       echo "$pr_commits" > "${RUNNER_TEMP:-/tmp}/pr-review-commits-${PR_NUMBER}.txt"
+       for ((i = 0; i < new_commits; i++)); do
+         increment_commit_count > /dev/null
+       done
+       audit_log "review-addressed" "review-code-change" "$file" "$sha" "pushed fix for thread ${thread_id}"
+     else
+       audit_log "review-addressed" "review-explanation" "$file" "" "replied to thread ${thread_id}"
+     fi
+   }
+   ```
+
+   **Design choices:**
+   - `timeout 300` wrapper (5 min cap per invocation)
+   - `-p` (print mode) with `--permission-mode bypassPermissions` — deterministic exit for CI
+   - `Write` excluded from `--allowedTools` (only `Edit` — Claude should modify existing files, not create new ones)
+   - No `category` passed — Claude determines it from the comment text
+
+6. **`main()` — orchestration:**
+   ```bash
+   main() {
+     # Graceful degradation
+     if ! command -v claude &>/dev/null; then
+       echo "[review] Claude CLI not available — skipping"
+       exit 0
+     fi
+
+     parse_pr_url "$PR_URL_ARG"
+
+     echo "============================================"
+     echo "  OAPE Review Handler"
+     echo "  PR: ${CURRENT_PR_URL}"

+       exit 0
+     fi
+
+     if [[ "$DRY_RUN" == "true" ]]; then
+       echo "[review] DRY RUN: Would address ${processable_count} thread(s)"
+       jq -r '.[] | select(.action == "process") |
+         "[review] DRY RUN: Would address thread \(.thread_id) (\(.type)) on \(.file // "PR-level")"' \

+     clone_and_checkout "$OWNER" "$REPO" "$PR_NUMBER"
+     BASE_BRANCH=$(gh pr view "$PR_NUMBER" --repo "${OWNER}/${REPO}" --json baseRefName -q .baseRefName 2>/dev/null || echo "main")

+     # Address each thread (process substitution avoids subshell counter bug)
+     local addressed=0
+     while IFS= read -r thread; do

+       tid=$(echo "$thread" | jq -r '.thread_id')
+       echo "[review] Addressing thread ${tid}..."

+     done < <(jq -c '.[] | select(.action == "process")' "$threads_file")
+
+     echo "[review] Addressed ${addressed} thread(s)"
+   }
+   ```
+
+   **Bug fixes vs original plan:**
+   - `while ... done < <(jq ...)` instead of `| while read` (fixes subshell counter bug)
+   - No `addressed[]` state management — `check_replied.py` handles dedup
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh` | Create (~200 lines) |
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Wire into `prow-ci-operator-config.yaml` (primary path)
+
+**Purpose:** Add the review handler as a separate Prow command that runs regardless of CI status.
+
+**Change to `docs/prow-ci-operator-config.yaml`** — add after line 163:
+
+```yaml
+        /app/scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh --pr-url "$PR_URL"
+```
+
+The full command block becomes:
+```yaml
+        gh auth setup-git
+        /app/scripts/ci-monitor/monitor.sh
+        /app/scripts/ci-monitor/dispatch.sh
+        /app/scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh --pr-url "$PR_URL"
+```
+
+The review handler runs after dispatch, independent of dispatch's exit status.
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `docs/prow-ci-operator-config.yaml` | Modify (add line after 163) |
+
+---
+
+### Step 4: Wire into `entrypoint.sh` (secondary path)
+
+**Purpose:** The PR agent on-demand/periodic mode also runs the review handler.
+
+**Changes to `scripts/pr-agent/entrypoint.sh`** — insert at line 826 (between auto-fix `fi` at 825 and status report at 827):
+
+```bash
+  # Module: Review Comment Handler (independent of CI status)
+  if [[ "$MONITOR_ONLY" != "true" ]]; then
+    echo "[PR #${PR_NUMBER}] Module: review comments — started"
+    local review_handler="${SCRIPT_DIR}/review-handler.sh"
+    if [[ -x "$review_handler" ]]; then
+      "$review_handler" --pr-url "$pr_url" ${DRY_RUN:+--dry-run} || true
+    fi
+    echo "[PR #${PR_NUMBER}] Module: review comments — completed"
+  fi
+```
+
+Labeled "Module:" (not "Phase:") to distinguish from the phase numbering. Runs outside the `if ci_status == "some-failed"` block, so it executes regardless of CI status.
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `scripts/pr-agent/entrypoint.sh` | Modify (`process_pr()`, line 826) |
+
+---
+
+### Step 5: Update `safety.sh` — raise commit limit
+
+**Change to `scripts/pr-agent/safety.sh`** — line 17:
+
+```bash
+# Before:
+MAX_COMMITS_PER_PR="${MAX_COMMITS_PER_PR:-3}"
+
+# After:
+MAX_COMMITS_PER_PR="${MAX_COMMITS_PER_PR:-5}"
+```
+
+5 commits per PR accommodates review handler commits alongside future auto-fix.
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `scripts/pr-agent/safety.sh` | Modify (line 17) |
+
+---
+
+### Step 6: Update `test-dry-run.sh`
+
+**Changes:**
+
+1. Add `review-handler.sh` to the shellcheck script list:
+   ```bash
+   "${REPO_ROOT}/scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh"
+   ```
+
+2. Add Python compile checks:
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m py_compile "${REPO_ROOT}/plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/check_replied.py"
+   python3 -m py_compile "${REPO_ROOT}/plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/build_threads.py"
+   ```
+
+3. Add a dry-run test (after existing tests):
+   ```bash
+   echo "=== Review handler dry-run ==="
+   if [[ -x "${REPO_ROOT}/scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh" ]]; then
+     export DRY_RUN=true
+     "${REPO_ROOT}/scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh" --pr-url "$TEST_PR_URL" --dry-run && \
+       _pass "review-handler.sh dry-run" || _fail "review-handler.sh dry-run"
+   else
+     _skip "review-handler.sh not found"
+   fi
+   ```
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `scripts/pr-agent/test-dry-run.sh` | Modify |
+
+---
+
+### Step 7: Claude CLI in container image
+
+**Changes to `images/ci-monitor.Dockerfile`** — add after line 8 (after `dnf clean all`):
+
+```dockerfile
+# Install Node.js and Claude Code CLI (required for review comment handler)
+RUN dnf module enable -y nodejs:20 && \
+    dnf install -y nodejs npm && \
+    npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code && \
+    dnf clean all
+```
+
+**Also update `docs/prow-ci-operator-config.yaml`** `dockerfile_literal` block with the same addition.
+
+**Note:** Adds ~200-400MB to the container image. The review handler gracefully degrades without it (`claude --version` check), so this step can be deferred.
+
+**Alternative (lighter):** Use `npx` at runtime — avoids image bloat but adds ~30s startup latency per invocation.
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `images/ci-monitor.Dockerfile` | Modify |
+| `docs/prow-ci-operator-config.yaml` | Modify (dockerfile_literal section) |
+
+---
+
+### Step 8: Report section in `entrypoint.sh`
+
+**Changes to `scripts/pr-agent/entrypoint.sh`** — in `generate_status_report()`, after the "Fixes Applied" section (after line 666, before "Infrastructure flakes" at line 668):
+
+```bash
+    # Review comments addressed
+    echo "### Review Comments Addressed"
+    echo ""
+    local review_entries
+    review_entries=$(grep '"action":"review-addressed"' "$AUDIT_LOG" 2>/dev/null || true)
+    if [[ -n "$review_entries" ]]; then
+      local review_count
+      review_count=$(echo "$review_entries" | wc -l)
+      echo "- **${review_count}** review thread(s) addressed"
+      echo ""
+      echo "$review_entries" | while IFS= read -r entry; do
+        local thread_type outcome
+        thread_type=$(echo "$entry" | jq -r '.type')
+        outcome=$(echo "$entry" | jq -r '.outcome')
+        echo "- \`${thread_type}\`: ${outcome}"
+      done
+    else
+      echo "- (none)"
+    fi
+    echo ""
+```
+
+**Files:**
+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `scripts/pr-agent/entrypoint.sh` | Modify (`generate_status_report()`) |
+
+---
+
+## Safety Guardrails
+
+The review handler inherits all existing guardrails from `safety.sh`:
+
+| Guardrail | Mechanism | Effect |
+|-----------|-----------|--------|
+| File blocklist | `check_blocklist()` | Prevents modifying secrets, CI configs, RBAC |
+| Commit limits | `check_commit_limit()` | Max 5 commits/PR, max 10 commits/run |
+| Diff size | `check_diff_size()` | Max 500 lines changed per fix |
+| Audit log | `audit_log()` | Every action logged to JSONL |
+| Dry run | `DRY_RUN=true` | Full analysis without modifications |
+| Claude tool restriction | `--allowedTools` | Whitelist of safe operations |
+| Timeout | `timeout 300` | 5 min cap per Claude invocation |
+| Permission mode | `bypassPermissions` | Auto-approve tool calls in CI |
+| Duplicate prevention | `check_replied.py` | Prevents double-posting |
+| Compilation verification | Claude prompt + skill | `go build` / `go vet` before commit |
+
+**Claude's `--allowedTools` whitelist:**
+```
+Bash(git diff*), Bash(git add*), Bash(git commit*),
+Bash(git log*), Bash(git status*), Bash(git stash*), Bash(go *), Bash(make *),
+Bash(gh api*), Bash(gh pr comment*), Bash(python3*), Read, Edit
+```
+
+**Explicitly excluded:** `Write` (create new files), `git push --force`, `git push -f`, `git rebase`, `git reset --hard`, `rm`, `curl`, network access.
+
+---
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+| Case | Handling |
+|------|----------|
+| Claude CLI not installed | Exit 0 with warning — no regression |
+| No review comments on PR | Exit 0, "0 threads need attention" |
+| All comments from bots | Exit 0, all filtered by `build_threads.py` |
+| Duplicate reply detected | `check_replied.py` exit 1 -> skip thread |
+| `check_replied.py` error (exit 2) | Fail safe — skip thread |
+| Oversized comment (>5000 chars) | Filtered in `build_threads.py` Pass 1 |
+| Orphaned inline comment | Filtered (`line == null AND original_line == null`). Stale-diff comments (`original_line != null`) kept |
+| Commit limit reached | Log "commit limit reached", Claude still posts explanation-only replies |
+| Claude invocation hangs | `timeout 300` kills after 5 min, continues to next thread |
+| Claude invocation fails | `|| true` — logged, continues to next thread |
+| Push triggers new CI cycle | Expected behavior. `check_replied.py` prevents duplicate handling on re-run |
+| Concurrent Prow runs | `check_replied.py` provides best-effort dedup. Bounded consequence. |
+| Thread with 10+ comments | Full thread passed to Claude — handles context naturally |
+| Binary/image file review | Claude cannot process — posts "requires human attention" |
+| `build_threads.py` fails | Exit 0 after logging error — no crash |
+| `coderabbitai` reviews | Exempted from 5000-char size filter (50K limit). Passed as a single `review` thread — Claude addresses all findings in one invocation, producing one consolidated reply. Dedup via existing `check_review_summary` (bot reply after review timestamp). |
+| `coderabbitai` issue comments | Filtered by 5000-char size limit (these are "No actionable comments" summaries, not actionable). |
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### 1. Static analysis
+```bash
+shellcheck scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh
+python3 -m py_compile plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/build_threads.py
+python3 -m py_compile plugins/oape/skills/address-review-comments/check_replied.py
+```
+
+### 2. Dry-run (no clone, no Claude, no API writes)
+```bash
+export GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)"
+export RUNNER_TEMP=$(mktemp -d)
+export DRY_RUN=true
+
+scripts/pr-agent/review-handler.sh \
+  --pr-url https://github.com/openshift/must-gather-operator/pull/<N> \
+  --dry-run
+```
+Verify: fetches threads via `build_threads.py`, prints "DRY RUN: Would address N threads", exits 0.
+
+### 3. Full test suite
+```bash
+scripts/pr-agent/test-dry-run.sh
+```
+
+### 4. Integration test (Prow rehearsal)
+```bash
+# 1. Point prow-ci-operator-config.yaml to this branch
+# 2. Start with DRY_RUN=true
+# 3. Create a test PR with intentional review comments
+# 4. Run /pj-rehearse to validate end-to-end
+# 5. Remove DRY_RUN and test on must-gather-operator first
+```

+
+## Prow Integration — `/test oape-review-handler`
+
+The review handler runs as a Prow presubmit job triggered by a PR comment command:
+
+```
+/test oape-review-handler
+```
+
+### How it works
+
+1. User comments `/test oape-review-handler` on a PR in `openshift/must-gather-operator`
+2. Prow triggers `pull-ci-openshift-must-gather-operator-master-oape-review-handler`
+3. The job builds the `ci-monitor-agent` image (with Claude CLI)
+4. Runs `review-handler.sh --pr-url "$PR_URL"` inside the container
+5. Bot addresses review comments, pushes fixes, posts replies
+
+### Config location
+
+The Prow job is defined in a **separate** `openshift/release` PR (not part of the ci-monitor PR #80727):
+- **ci-operator config:** `ci-operator/config/openshift/must-gather-operator/openshift-must-gather-operator-master.yaml`
+- **Reference snippet:** `docs/prow-review-handler-config.yaml` (in this repo)
+
+### Key properties
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| `always_run` | `false` — manual trigger only via `/test oape-review-handler` |
+| `optional` | `true` — does not block merge |
+| Timeout | 1 hour |
+| Image | `review-handler-agent` (separate from `ci-monitor-agent`) |
+| Clone source | `main` branch of `openshift-eng/oape-ai-e2e` |
+| Claude CLI | Installed via `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code` |
+| `PLUGINS_DIR` | `/plugins/oape/skills` (container path) |
+
+### Container image
+
+The review handler uses its own `review-handler-agent` image (separate from `ci-monitor-agent`). It clones from `main` branch and includes Node.js + Claude CLI:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/go-toolset
+# ... base tools (git, make, jq, gh) ...
+RUN dnf module enable -y nodejs:20 && \
+    dnf install -y nodejs npm && \
+    npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code && \
+    dnf clean all
+# ... clone from main, install go tools ...
+```
+
+### Credentials (same as `oape-ci-monitor`)
+
+- **GitHub App:** `openshift-app-platform-shift-github-bot` (push + comment permissions)
+- **Vertex AI:** `oap-lts-claude-gcp-vertex-sa` (Claude via GCP)
+
+### Rehearsal
+
+From the `openshift/release` PR:
+```
+/pj-rehearse oape-review-handler
+```
+
+The rehearsal detection block automatically switches from `openshift/release` to a real `must-gather-operator` PR for validation.
+
+---
+
+## Rollout Plan
+
+1. Merge [openshift-eng/oape-ai-e2e#63](https://github.com/openshift-eng/oape-ai-e2e/pull/63) to `main`
+2. Open a **separate** `openshift/release` PR with the review handler Prow config (see `docs/prow-review-handler-config.yaml`)
+3. `/pj-rehearse oape-review-handler` from the release PR
+4. `/test oape-review-handler` on a real `must-gather-operator` PR with review comments
+5. Monitor 1 week — review quality, false positives, CI cascade impact
+6. Expand to other repos in `team-repos.csv`
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations & Future Work
+
+1. **CI cascade** — each pushed commit re-triggers all Prow presubmits. Mitigated by commit limit (5/PR). Future: batch multiple review fixes into a single commit.
+2. **Post-commit guardrails** — `check_blocklist()` validation runs after Claude commits, reverting protected file modifications and oversized diffs before push. The safety SKILL.md provides prompt-level guidance; the post-commit check enforces it.
+3. **No cumulative spend tracking** — if `--max-budget-usd` is added later, it would need per-run tracking across threads. Current bound is `timeout 300` (5 min) per thread.
+4. **No GitHub API rate limiting** — heavily-reviewed PRs could hit rate limits. Future: add rate limit checking in `build_threads.py`.

+name: Address Review Comments
+description: Guidance for Claude to address PR review comments in OpenShift operator repos
+---
+
+# Addressing PR Review Comments
+
+You are an automated agent responding to code review feedback on a Pull Request
+in an OpenShift operator repository. Follow these guidelines to produce
+high-quality, reviewer-satisfying responses.
+
+## Interpreting Reviewer Intent — 5-Level Categorization
+
+Categorize each review comment by priority. Process in this order:
+
+1. **ACTION_INSTRUCTION** (highest priority): Repo-level operations — verify,
+   run tests, update branch. Execute the requested operation ONLY if it is
+   within your allowed tools. For rebase, squash, or force-push requests,
+   reply explaining that these operations require human intervention.
+
+2. **BLOCKING**: Critical changes — security issues, bugs, breaking changes,
+   correctness problems. Must be addressed before merge.
+
+3. **CHANGE_REQUEST**: Code improvements or refactoring — rename variables,
+   extract functions, restructure logic, update error messages. Make the
+   requested change.
+
+4. **QUESTION**: Requests for clarification — "why did you...?", "what
+   happens when...?", "is this intentional?". Reply with explanation only.
+   Do NOT change code for questions.
+
+5. **SUGGESTION** (lowest priority): Optional improvements — nit, "consider",
+   "maybe", "you could", "it might be better". Treat as a code change request
+   unless ambiguous. If ambiguous, reply asking for clarification.
+
+**Approval with minor note** — ("LGTM but...", "looks good, one thing..."):
+Address the noted item as a CHANGE_REQUEST.
+
+## Making Code Changes
+
+1. **Read before writing**: Always read the full function/method containing the
+   target line before making changes. Use at least 30 lines of surrounding context.
+
+2. **Minimal changes**: Only modify what the review comment asks for. Do not
+   refactor adjacent code, rename unrelated variables, or "improve" things the
+   reviewer didn't mention.
+
+3. **Preserve style**: Match the existing code's conventions:
+   - Import grouping and ordering (stdlib, external, internal)
+   - Error handling patterns (wrap with `fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)`)
+   - Naming conventions (check other files in the same package)
+   - Comment style and density
+
+4. **Verify compilation**: After every change, run:
+   - `go build ./...` — must pass
+   - `go vet ./...` — must pass
+   If either fails, revert your change and report the compilation error in your
+   reply instead of pushing broken code.
+
+5. **Pre-push verification**: Detect and run the appropriate verification:
+   - `Makefile` with `verify` target -> `make verify`
+   - `Makefile` with `lint` target -> `make lint`
+   - `go.mod` exists -> `go build ./...` and `go vet ./...`
+   Maximum 3 retry attempts. Do NOT push code that fails verification.
+
+6. **One commit per thread**: Each review thread gets at most one commit. Use
+   message format: `fix: <concise description> — oape-pr-agent`
+   **New commits only** — never amend existing commits (no force-push in CI).
+
+7. **Stage and commit**:
+   - `git add <specific-files>` (never `git add .` or `git add -A`)
+   - `git commit -m "fix: <description> — oape-pr-agent"`
+   - Do NOT push — all commits are pushed in a single batch after all threads.
+
+## Replying to Comments
+
+1. **Template**:
+   `Done. [1-line what changed]. [Optional 1-line why]`
+
+2. **For code changes**: After pushing, reply to the review thread.
+   Example: `Done. Renamed GetFoo to fetchFoo in pkg/controller/reconciler.go.
+   Matches the package's existing naming convention.`
+
+3. **For questions**: Provide a concise, factual answer based on the actual code.
+   Reference specific lines or functions. Do not speculate about intent if the
+   code is ambiguous — describe what the code does and let the reviewer decide.
+
+4. **For uncertainty**: If you cannot confidently make the requested change
+   (ambiguous request, complex refactor, unclear scope), reply explaining what
+   you understand and what you're unsure about. Do not guess.
+
+5. **For invalid requests**: If the requested change is incorrect, would
+   introduce a bug, or is based on a misunderstanding of the code, decline it.
+   Reply with a technical explanation of 3-5 sentences including file:line
+   references explaining why the suggestion should not be applied. Do not
+   implement changes you believe are wrong — a clear explanation is more
+   valuable than a broken fix.
+
+6. **Reply format**:
+   - For inline comments: `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments/{id}/replies -f "body=<reply>"`
+   - For top-level comments: `gh pr comment {pr} --repo {owner}/{repo} -b "<reply>"`
+   - Never respond via both methods for the same thread
+
+7. **Reply signature**: All replies MUST end with:
+   ```
+   ---
+   *AI-assisted response via Claude Code*
+   ```
+   This signature is used by `check_replied.py` for duplicate detection.
+
+8. **Tone**: Professional, concise, helpful. No emojis, no filler ("Great
+   catch!", "Sure thing!"). State what was done or what the answer is.
+
+## Duplicate Prevention
+
+Before posting ANY reply, verify you haven't already responded using `check_replied.py`:
+
+```bash
+python3 check_replied.py <owner> <repo> <pr_number> <comment_id> --type <type>
+```
+
+Where `<type>` is one of: `issue_comment`, `review_thread`, or `review_comment`.
+
+- **Exit code 0**: Safe to reply (no existing bot reply found)
+- **Exit code 1**: Skip — already replied
+- **Exit code 2**: Error — proceed with caution (default to safe-to-reply)
+
+## Comment Grouping
+
+Group inline comments by file and proximity (within 10 lines of each other).
+When multiple comments relate to the same concern:
+- Make the code change once
+- Post a reply to EACH comment individually referencing the same commit
+
+## OpenShift Operator Conventions
+
+When making changes to OpenShift operator code, follow these conventions:
+
+1. **Error handling**: Use `fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)` for wrapped errors.
+   Lowercase error messages, no trailing punctuation.
+
+2. **Status conditions**: Use `meta.SetStatusCondition()` or the operator's
+   existing condition helpers. Include `Type`, `Status`, `Reason`, and `Message`.
+
+3. **RBAC markers**: If a code change requires new API access, add the
+   appropriate `// +kubebuilder:rbac` marker above the Reconcile function.
+
+4. **Generated code**: If your change modifies `_types.go` files, remind the
+   reviewer that `make generate && make manifests` may need to be run (but do
+   not run it yourself unless the review specifically asks for it).
+
+5. **Testing**: If the reviewer asks you to add or modify a test, place it in
+   the same package's `_test.go` file. Use table-driven tests if the package
+   already uses them.

+# PR Agent Safety Guardrails
+
+## File Modification Rules
+- NEVER modify: *.key, *.pem, *.crt, *.env, credentials.*, kubeconfig,
+  Dockerfile, Containerfile, .github/workflows/*, .tekton/*, Makefile,
+  rbac/*.yaml, clusterrole*.yaml, go.mod, go.sum
+- NEVER create files outside pkg/, internal/, api/, cmd/, test/
+
+## Git Operation Rules
+- NEVER use git push --force, git push -f, git rebase, git reset --hard
+- Push only when explicitly instructed. Default: do NOT push.
+- ALWAYS verify: go build ./... && go vet ./... before committing
+
+## Change Scope Rules
+- Minimal changes only — only modify what the review comment requests
+- One commit per thread, max 500 lines changed
+- Follow existing code style, naming conventions, and import organization
+
+## Response Rules
+- One response per thread — never respond via both inline AND general comment
+- Keep replies under 200 words
+- Admit uncertainty rather than making a potentially wrong change
+
+## Commit Message Format
+- fix: <description> — oape-pr-agent

+- If question: reply with explanation only. Do NOT change code.
+- Reply exactly once per thread. End every reply with:
