What changed

docs/agent/review-ops.md now matches Qodo's actual review model and removes the redundant per-push Qodo loop:

• Qodo reviews the open PR automatically (open/reopen/ready). That is the PR's Qodo review: agents do not wait for a new Qodo verdict after a fix push and do not post /agentic_review in the automatic setup.
• CodeRabbit remains the SHA-bound per-head gate; every fix push requires a new CodeRabbit request.
• The merge gate is CodeRabbit clean on headRefOid, every Qodo finding fixed or answered, every thread resolved, CI green, and local gates passing.
• The one-request-per-head-SHA rule is explicitly CodeRabbit-only.

This follows observed behavior in #119 and #131: Qodo reviewed the open PR and did not re-review later pushes or a reopen. Requiring a same-SHA Qodo verdict therefore forces the manual trigger this change removes.

Docs-only.

 SHA-scoped.
• Preserve the requirement for clean verdicts from both bots on the current head.

High-Level Assessment

Keep the correction in the existing review-operations guide. It distinguishes Qodo's automatic event triggers and portal setting from CodeRabbit's manual requests without weakening the same-SHA merge gate; no separate workflow or tooling change is warranted for this documentation correction.

Walkthrough

The changelog and agent review instructions distinguish Qodo’s automatic open-PR reviews from CodeRabbit’s SHA-bound current-head reviews. They describe when to request CodeRabbit, how to handle Qodo findings, and which checks are required before merging.

Changes: Review trigger guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Review triggers and SHA checks docs/agent/review-ops.md, CHANGELOG.md	The instructions describe Qodo reviews on PR open, reopen, or ready events. They state that Qodo does not re-run after fix pushes and that its review is not a current-head verdict. Each new head requires a CodeRabbit request. The instructions also define merge checks and prohibit manual Qodo triggers in the automatic setup.

• observed — docs (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: The Unreleased review-ops entry now says Qodo reviews the open PR automatically and is not rerun per push; its review commit is not treated as a current-head verdict. It retains CodeRabbit as the SHA-bound per-head gate, scopes the one-request-per-SHA rule to CodeRabbit, and prohibits agents in the automatic setup from posting /agentic_review.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/agent/review-ops.md: The opening now describes Qodo’s open-PR review and CodeRabbit’s SHA-current verdict, replacing the description of a general automated review sequence.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/agent/review-ops.md: The SHA-bound clean-verdict rule now applies specifically to CodeRabbit; Qodo’s review is recorded at its own commit and is not treated as a current-head verdict.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/agent/review-ops.md: Qodo is now described as reviewing when a PR is opened, reopened, or marked ready. In the automatic setup, the instructions say not to wait for a fresh verdict after a fix push or post /agentic_review; manual triggering is reserved for confirmed manual-only configurations. This replaces the instruction that Qodo reviews every push and should be rerun when no current-head verdict exists.
