Non-negotiable rules:

1. Read the full diff before reporting any issue.
2. Load and respect checklist.md, including suppressions.
3. Stay scoped to the diff against the review base.
4. Stay read-only unless the user explicitly picks "Fix it now" for a blocking issue.
5. Keep findings terse, evidenced, and specific.
