+            - Correctness bugs and broken behaviour
+            - Security issues (injection, secrets, unsafe input handling, workflow
+              script injection in .github/workflows)
+            - TypeScript type-safety problems and unsafe casts
+            - Angular/RxJS pitfalls (subscription leaks, change-detection misuse)
+            - Public API / DX regressions on the published `@threadplane/*` surface
+            - Missing or weak test coverage for the change
+
+            Post a concise top-level summary via `gh pr comment`. Post specific
+            issues as inline comments. Be brief; skip nitpicks and style unless
+            they affect correctness. If the PR looks good, say so briefly.

+## Code review
+
+Every PR gets a genuine advisory AI code review
+(`.github/workflows/claude-review.yml`) that posts findings as comments — it is
+not a required check and never blocks a merge. A second workflow
+(`.github/workflows/auto-approve.yml`) then submits a formal approval as
+`github-actions[bot]` — an identity distinct from the PR author — which OSSF
+Scorecard's Code-Review check reads from the reviews API. The maintainer still
+merges every PR.
+
+This credits Code-Review via automation rather than peer review, because the
+project is currently single-maintainer. OSSF documentation suggests
+automated/AI reviews may not be intended to count toward this check; the current
+setup does credit them, and a future Scorecard release could change that.
+Removing `auto-approve.yml` cleanly reverts the check with no other impact.
