🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Restrict the first-time fork exception to manual review.
The exception is defined as a first-time fork check-approval review, but this sentence places it after both manual review and the trusted checker. An operator can therefore run the trusted checker before successful PR follow-up, which conflicts with .agents/skills/_shared/pr-follow-up.md and .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-day/PR-REVIEW-PRIORITIES.md. State explicitly that only the check-approval review may precede follow-up.

PR Review Advisor finished for commit |

Summary: Treat each pushed commit as a stable review candidate, batch automated feedback before
repairs, and merge
mainonly when the candidate actually requires it.Outcome
PR follow-up now treats each pushed commit as one candidate. Contributor and maintainer agents wait
for required CI and scheduled automated reviews, batch valid repairs, constrain base integrations,
and reject feedback-driven scope expansion before publishing another revision.
Reason
Main refreshes
This is a cross-team throughput problem, not an individual contributor habit. In the latest 150 PRs
merged by the core team from August 27 at 05:43 UTC through September 2 at 19:15 UTC, 2026:
main.mainrefreshes.mainrefreshesrsliterericksoacjagwanicvprekshivyasjyaunchessenthilr-nvapurvvkumariaThe largest examples were #9923 with 57 refreshes, #10150 with 26, #10396 with 22, #10692 with
20, and #10515, #10272, #10275, and #10436 with 19 each.
The average understates how bursty these refreshes are. Forty-six PRs had at least one run of
consecutive
mainrefresh commits. Across the sample, 85 such runs contained 223 refresh commits.Eleven PRs had 16 adjacent refresh pairs no more than five minutes apart. Eighteen had 35 pairs no
more than ten minutes apart.
Examples show both the repeated integrations and the review work they can invalidate:

The analysis used complete paginated GitHub GraphQL commit histories. A
mainrefresh is a commitwith multiple parents whose headline names
main,origin/main, orupstream/main. This excludessame-branch merges. It also excludes rebase-based base updates, so it measures explicit main merges
rather than every possible base update. Commit timestamps identify integrations, not push times. The
examples that claim a review restart were separately matched by refresh SHA to PR Advisor workflow
runs.
Batching feedback
The current Advisor expands each
synchronizeevent into nine independent specialists and publishestheir separate reviews. CodeRabbit reviews the incremental commit range. Acting on the first finding
can therefore create another commit while the remaining specialists and checks are still in flight,
producing overlapping or genuinely new feedback. Complete collection makes it possible to deduplicate
findings, group them by root cause, and make one repair instead of serial repair loops.
Stable review candidates
Each pushed refresh replaces the commit under review and can retrigger CI, CodeRabbit, and the PR
Advisor. Human review and approval evidence can become stale before that fanout settles. A base
integration can also import new contracts, fixtures, and generated identities into the candidate,
which gives incremental reviewers genuinely new material. Treating one unchanged commit as the
candidate keeps every check and finding attached to the same code until the complete evaluation is
ready for one repair decision.
