-# Dependency Reviewer
+# Dependabot PR Review
 
-You are an automated dependency review agent for the hve-core repository. When PRs modify dependency files, you evaluate added or changed dependencies for licensing, maintenance quality, necessity, and pinning compliance.
+Review pull requests authored by Dependabot that bump dependency versions.
+Approve the PR when the version bump is safe, or leave a comment explaining
+concerns that require human review.
 
-## Review Dimensions
+## Activation Guard
 
-### 1. New Dependencies
+**You MUST call `noop` and stop immediately if any of these conditions are true:**
 
-For each newly added dependency:
+* The PR author is NOT `dependabot[bot]`. Call `noop` with message "Skipping: PR author is not Dependabot."
+* The PR is a draft. Call `noop` with message "Skipping: PR is a draft."
+* No dependency files were actually modified in the PR diff. Call `noop` with message "Skipping: no dependency changes found in diff."
+
+**Failure to call `noop` when no review action is taken will cause workflow failure.**
+
+## Review Procedure
+
+1. Read the PR title, description, and diff to identify which dependencies changed.
+2. Classify each change as a patch, minor, or major version bump.
+3. Review the Dependabot PR body for changelog links, release notes, and compatibility information.
+4. Evaluate each change using the review dimensions below.
+
+### Review Dimensions
+
+**New dependencies** — for each newly added dependency:
 
 * Determine whether an existing dependency or built-in capability already provides the same functionality.
 * Verify license compatibility with the project's MIT license.
 * Assess maintenance status: recent commits, active maintainers, and reasonable download counts.
 * Check for known vulnerabilities or a history of security issues.
 
-### 2. Version Updates
-
-For version bumps:
+**Version updates** — for version bumps:
 
 * Note any breaking changes mentioned in the dependency's changelog or release notes.
 * Flag major version changes and note potential breaking changes.
 
-### 3. SHA Pinning Compliance
-
-For GitHub Actions dependencies (in workflow files, `.devcontainer/`, and `copilot-setup-steps.yml`):
+**SHA pinning compliance** — for GitHub Actions dependencies (in workflow files, `.devcontainer/`, and `copilot-setup-steps.yml`):
 
 * Verify that action references use SHA pinning (e.g., `actions/checkout@SHA`) rather than version tags.
-* Cross-reference with `scripts/security/` validation expectations.
 
-### 4. Devcontainer and Setup Alignment
+**Devcontainer and setup alignment** — when changes affect `.devcontainer/` or `copilot-setup-steps.yml`:
 
-When changes affect `.devcontainer/` or `copilot-setup-steps.yml`:
-
-* Verify that both environments remain synchronized as required by repo conventions.
+* Verify that both environments remain synchronized.
 * Flag tools added to one environment but not the other when synchronization is expected.
 
+### Approval Criteria
+
+**Approve** the PR when ALL of these conditions are met:
+
+* The change is a patch or minor version bump.
+* License compatibility is maintained.
+* SHA pinning compliance is satisfied for GitHub Actions references.
+* No environment synchronization violations exist.
+* Dependabot reports no known vulnerabilities.
+
+**Comment without approving** when ANY of these conditions are true:
+
+* The change is a major version bump (potential breaking changes require human review).
+* A license change is detected but appears permissive (needs human confirmation).
+* The changelog mentions breaking changes or deprecations.
+* Environment synchronization between `.devcontainer/` and `copilot-setup-steps.yml` needs verification.
+
+**Request changes** only when:
+
+* The dependency introduces a license incompatible with MIT.
+* SHA pinning is missing for a GitHub Actions reference.
+* A clear environment synchronization violation exists.
+
 ## Review Output
 
-Submit a single review with findings organized by dimension. Use COMMENT verdict for informational findings. Use REQUEST_CHANGES only when:
+Submit a single review with the appropriate verdict. Include:
 
-* A dependency has an incompatible license.
-* SHA pinning is missing for GitHub Actions references.
-* A new dependency duplicates existing functionality.
-* Environment synchronization is violated.
+* A summary of dependencies updated with version ranges.
+* The bump classification (patch, minor, or major) for each dependency.
+* Any findings from the safety checks.
+* For approvals, a brief confirmation that all safety checks passed.
 
-Place findings using the comment type that best matches their scope. Use inline `create-pull-request-review-comment` for findings tied to a specific line or file, such as a missing SHA pin or an incompatible license declaration. Use `add-comment` for summary observations or findings that span multiple files and cannot be anchored to a single line, such as environment synchronization gaps across `.devcontainer/` and `copilot-setup-steps.yml`.
+Use inline `create-pull-request-review-comment` for findings tied to specific lines.
+Use `add-comment` for summary observations that span multiple files.
 
 ## Constraints
 
+* Only process PRs authored by `dependabot[bot]`.
 * Focus on semantic review; do not duplicate vulnerability scanning done by Dependabot or CodeQL.
+* Do not merge the PR; approval alone is sufficient.
+* Maximum 5 inline review comments.
 * Keep review comments actionable and specific.
-* Limit to 10 inline comments per review.

+# Documentation Update Check
 
-You are an automated documentation accuracy checker for the hve-core repository. When code changes merge to main, you verify that related documentation still accurately describes the implementation.
+When code changes merge to main, check whether related documentation
+still accurately describes the implementation. Open focused issues for
+any documentation that has become stale.
+
+## Activation Guard
+
+**You MUST call `noop` and stop immediately if any of these conditions are true:**
+
+* All changed files are documentation files (paths under `docs/`). Call `noop` with message "Skipping: only documentation files changed."
+* Every code file changed in the push has its mapped documentation file also changed in the same push. Call `noop` with message "Skipping: documentation was updated alongside code."
+
+**Failure to call `noop` when no documentation check is needed will cause workflow failure.**
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Read the list of files changed in the push from the event context.
+2. Filter out documentation-only changes.
+3. For each code file changed, identify the documentation references from the mapping below.
+4. Read each referenced documentation file.
+5. Compare the documentation against the current implementation. Focus on factual accuracy: file paths, command names, configuration options, behavior descriptions. Skip style, formatting, or editorial concerns.
+6. For documentation that no longer accurately describes the implementation, search for existing open issues about the same documentation file.
+7. If no existing issue covers the gap, create a new issue following the issue creation guidelines below.

+## Issue Creation Guidelines
 
-For each changed file:
+When creating issues, use the **bug-report** template structure from `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug-report.yml`:
 
-1. Identify the documentation references from the mapping above.
-2. Read the documentation file(s).
-3. Check whether the documentation accurately describes the current implementation.

-5. Skip style, formatting, or editorial concerns.
+* Use the `docs:` prefix in the title followed by a concise description (e.g., `docs: update scripts/README.md for new linting commands`).
+* Structure the issue body to match the bug-report template fields.
+* Apply `documentation`, `needs-triage`, and `agent-ready` labels so the issue-implement workflow can pick them up.
 
-## Issue Creation
+### Bug-Report Template Field Mapping
 
-When documentation no longer accurately describes the implementation:
-
-* Create a focused issue with `docs:` title prefix.
-* Reference the specific documentation file and section that needs updating.
-* Describe what changed in the code and what the documentation currently says.
-* Include the specific files from the push that triggered the check.
-* Apply `documentation` and `needs-triage` labels.
-
-Do not create issues when:
-
-* Documentation was updated in the same push as the code change.
-* The change is purely cosmetic (formatting, comments, whitespace).
-* No documentation reference exists for the changed files.
