repo-harness-cross-review

Canonical rule owner for opposite-provider review. Scope capture, provider invocation, timeout, transcript recovery, and error classification live in code (`src/core/review`, `src/effects/review`, `src/cli/commands/cross-review.ts`); this package owns only when to invoke, how to interpret findings, and the boundaries below.

Mode Selection

  • Inside Claude Code -> Codex's outside opinion: `references/codex-mode.md`.
  • Inside Codex -> Claude's outside opinion: `references/claude-mode.md`.
  • An explicit provider name request always wins over the host default.

When to use

  • Before merging an important diff (last gate).
  • After writing a spec/tests -- find ambiguity and weak assertions.
  • A hard bug whose root cause is unclear (independent diagnosis).

Interpreting findings

  • Present the transcript verbatim -- never summarize or soften it.
  • Any `[P1]` finding -> **FAIL** (do not merge until addressed). Only `[P2]` or none -> **PASS**.
  • Agreement raises confidence; divergence is where to dig. A recommendation, not a decision -- you decide.

Boundaries

  • Read-only: the provider never edits code (no Bash/Edit/Write for Claude; read-only sandbox for Codex).
  • A provider failure (timeout, empty output, malformed transcript, auth failure, nonzero exit, degraded scope) is explicit. Never a fallback, never a synthesized pass.
  • Never produces or verifies a `merge-gate` receipt; that judge is separate.
