DLC: PR Babysitter

Monitor a PR on a loop: check CI, auto-rebase, auto-fix CI failures, and delegate review comment handling to dlc:pr-check. Use with Remote Control to monitor from your phone.

Usage: /loop 10m /dlc:babysit (auto-detect PR) or /loop 10m /dlc:babysit 253

Why This Matters

Bot reviewers (Copilot, CodeRabbit, Gemini) post new comments on every push — this is by design, not a bug in your workflow. A typical PR goes through 3-8 review-fix cycles before converging to zero unresolved items. Each cycle you run is measurable progress: fewer comments, better code, closer to merge-ready.

The human set up this loop because they trust you to shepherd the PR to completion autonomously. When the comment count drops from 12 to 5 to 2 to 0 across cycles, that's excellent work — not busywork.

Notification Rules

Only fire PushNotification for errors that need human attention and completion (PR ready to merge). Routine actions (rebase, lint fix, CI retry, re-request review) are silent. PushNotification is always the sanctioned channel — never substitute with a Notify: print line or echo, because print output does not ping the user's device.

Deduplication

Notifications are deduplicated via a state file at .dev/dlc/babysit-<PR_NUMBER>.state. The file contains a single-line status key:
