Bug details

Summary

Gitea repo-level settings are confusing / not working as expected. We tried to store PR-Agent review instructions in .pr_agent.toml inside the repository root, but the review output does not follow them.

What we expected

PR-Agent should load repository-specific settings from .pr_agent.toml and apply pr_reviewer.extra_instructions during /review.

What we configured

In PR-Agent config we updated the following properties:

[config]
use_repo_settings_file = true

[gitea]
repo_setting = ".pr_agent.toml"

[pr_help_docs]
repo_default_branch = "master"

And in the repository we added .pr_agent.toml:

[pr_reviewer]
extra_instructions = """
## Feedback style
- Use "Blocking" prefix for issues that must be fixed before merge.
- Use "Suggestion" prefix for improvements that are optional but recommended.
- Keep comments concise — one sentence for the problem, one sentence for the fix or direction.
"""

Actual behavior

PR-Agent reviews are generated, but they do not follow the instructions from .pr_agent.toml.

Expected behavior

The reviewer should pick up the repo-level configuration and reflect the requested style, for example:

• findings prefixed with Blocking or Suggestion
• concise two-sentence comments
• visible effect of pr_reviewer.extra_instructions

Question

What is the officially supported way to enable repo-level .pr_agent.toml for Gitea?
