+# Drop this into a repo at .github/workflows/announce-pr.yml to make it a town-crier producer.
+#
+# Setup (once per repo or org):
+#   - Variable  TOWN_CRIER_URL    = https://<app>.fly.dev
+#   - Secret    TOWN_CRIER_TOKEN  = the bearer token minted for "github-action"
+#
+# Produces BOTH sides of a request's lifecycle, so the bus never drifts from GitHub:
+#   - announce: when "Agent Review Requested" lands on a PR, tell the crier once.
+#   - resolve:  when that PR closes/merges, retire its thread — otherwise a landed PR
+#               sits "open" on the bus forever (there is no GitHub->bus merge sync).
+# Joined harnesses pick up open requests from the bus — this workflow does NOT poll or review.
+#
+# Failure policy (two distinct modes, so a real problem is never silently masked):
+#   - MISSING provisioning (no TOWN_CRIER_URL/TOKEN) is a config error -> fail LOUD (red).
+#   - A bus HICCUP (cold start / transient 5xx / timeout) -> ::warning:: + stay GREEN (fail-open;
+#     a coordination-layer blip must never red a contributor's PR checks).
+# Neither job uses the GITHUB_TOKEN (they auth to the bus with TOWN_CRIER_TOKEN), so permissions
+# are dropped to nothing.
