Problem

quest context requires the PR body's ## Review section to name the reviewed head, the reviewer, and each finding's disposition, rewritten after every round, and a merge counts only a record naming the head being landed. Agents run quest review and then forget the rewrite: in one moq-dev/moq /quest-complete run, four of about twenty iterate agents reviewed cleanly but never rewrote the record (moq-dev/moq#7932, moq-dev/moq#7933, moq-dev/moq#7946, moq-dev/moq#7937), so their heads looked unreviewed and the coordinator wrote the records by hand.

Behavior

• After each round, quest review rewrites the ## Review section of the open PR from the branch into the base, found as claims find a branch's PR (the base remote's upstream, PRs from the repository it pushes to, resolved from the checkout's top level), and prints record <url>. With no such PR, or a remote off GitHub, it changes nothing and prints record skipped: <why>. This PR's own ## Review below was written that way.
• The record names the reviewer harness, model, and effort, the session and round, the reviewed head and base, the score and rationale, each finding with its location, and the last round's findings with their dispositions.
• The head appears as a full SHA only once a round reports no findings, since the land gate counts any full SHA in the section as a review of that head. Model text renders as inline code (no mentions, links, or closing keywords), with any full SHA in it shortened.
• Dispositions: the prompt numbers the last round's findings, and a later round's reply schema requires earlier, settling each by number as fixed, refuted, or open with a one-sentence reason. The reviewer judges them from --responses, so a finding the next round no longer raises is fixed or refuted per the response, verified rather than self-reported. A reply that skips or repeats one, or keeps more open than it reports again, fails like any malformed reply. A first round's schema has no earlier: given one, Codex settled its own review turn's findings there, and bounded to none, its constrained output degenerated into whitespace until max_output_tokens.
• The section is found by core's new reviewSection, from top-level Markdown headings only, so an example in a code fence, quote, or list is text. The record writer, the land gate (cloudflare/src/github/review.ts), and the land fixer's mechanical-fix line all use it, so they read the same section. The rest of the body, line endings included, stays as written; a body without the section gains it at the end, and one ending inside an unclosed fence or HTML comment fails the record rather than hiding it.
• The edit goes through the user's GitHub token, so the land gate's "author made the latest edit" rule still counts it on the user's own PRs. A record GitHub refuses fails the command (exit 1) after the round's report.
• The kix runner calls review() directly and still records through its check run; only the CLI command writes the body.
• assets/CONTEXT.md and assets/skills/review.md stop asking agents to write a round's record by hand: open the draft first, add context only after the record, and hand-write one only for a skip or a record skipped round, such as another author's fork. README and --help document it.

Public API

quest review output gains earlier lines and a record line; --json gains branch, earlier, and record. A later round's reviewer reply schema requires earlier. quest/core exports reviewSection. Review session files from earlier versions stored a finding count; per the repository's no-migration rule they are not converted (--new starts over).

Caused by

No single PR: the record has always been hand-written.

Validation

• just check passes.
• just test: vitest (1086 passed, 5 skipped), the hook and installer suites, and both lifecycle checks pass; the recipe then fails in scripts/lifecycle-check.sh's quest gate --quick env step with env: write error: Resource temporarily unavailable (exit 125) while the host is loaded. It reproduces unchanged on origin/main (ea623617) with bash scripts/lifecycle-check.sh "$PWD/dist/quest.js", same output and exit 125; this PR does not touch the gate. The remaining steps pass when run directly: bun run compile and just worker-test (539 passed).
• New tests with GitHub stubbed: the section rewrite across two rounds (author prose and CRLF kept, dispositions from the second round, mentions and SHAs neutralized, no full SHA while findings remain), a clean round naming its head in full, no open PR, a body without a section, a review from a subdirectory of a fork, a refused PATCH, fenced, quoted, nested, and unclosed bodies, verdict accounting, and the land gate ignoring a fenced example.

Follow-ups

• quest gate --quick env fails with EAGAIN on a loaded host, failing just test on main too. Recommend planning it: the gate likely leaves its stdout non-blocking for the command it starts, and no open PR fixes it.

Walkthrough

Follow-up review rounds now require a numbered disposition and reason for each prior finding. The command includes those settlements in round output and records rounds in the Review section of a matching open GitHub PR. It reports when recording is skipped and exits with an error if GitHub rejects the update. A shared helper locates top-level Review sections for the CLI fixer and GitHub inbox review.

Fix the guidance on where to add context to the ## Review section.

The text says to add context "only after the record". The text gives the next-round rewrite as the reason. withReview replaces the whole section, from after the heading to the next level-1 or level-2 heading. Text added after the record inside the section is deleted on the next round.

An agent that follows this line loses its context. Tell agents to put context outside the ## Review section, for example in another section or a PR comment. Only a record written by hand after record skipped belongs inside the section.

Preserve the identity of every open finding during settlement.

The count-only validation can drop an unresolved finding. A later round can settle an unrelated finding, emit a full-head clean record, and pass the author-owned land gate while the original finding remains unresolved. Extend the settlement contract with the prior finding number for carried findings, pass the prior findings to verdict, and reject any open settlement whose number is absent from the current findings before saving the round.

Discard a saved session that stores finding counts.

Sessions saved before this change store rounds[].findings as a number. load casts the saved JSON to State without a shape check. When the instructions are unchanged, a resumed round takes such a number as earlier. Then earlier.length is undefined, so the --responses check is skipped. The reviewer turn runs with no earlier findings listed. verdict then throws, because the reply has no earlier list or because numbers.length !== undefined is always true. The state is not saved on failure, so each run repeats the error until a fresh session is started.

Discard a state that stores counts, so the branch starts a new session. The new session cannot settle the old round's findings, because their numeric counts do not identify them.

Suggested fix

-	const state = options.fresh || stored?.reviewer !== harness ? undefined : stored;
+	const legacy = stored?.rounds.some((r) => !Array.isArray(r.findings)) ?? false;
+	const state = options.fresh || legacy || stored?.reviewer !== harness ? undefined : stored;
