+# Design Notes
+
+Decisions behind the 2.0 head-checkout architecture, recorded so future
+changes do not re-litigate them blind. `PR_REVIEW_REQUIREMENTS.md` governs
+what the review experience must provide; this file records why 2.0 provides
+it the way it does.
+
+## Review the head, not the merge ref
+
+GitHub's synthetic `refs/pull/N/merge` ref is lazily computed, absent when
+the PR is conflicted, and stale after pushes — verified in practice: stale
+test merges had `merge^2 != head`. Reviewing the merge result meant
+translating merge-result line numbers to PR head line numbers before
+posting, and made conflicted PRs unreviewable. 2.0 reviews the PR head
+directly: findings anchor to head line numbers from birth, a
+merge-conflicted PR reviews fine, and mergeability is a metadata signal on
+the board. Integration breakage is CI's job; base movement is reported
+honestly (`git rev-list --count <merge_base>..FETCH_HEAD`) instead
+of analyzing GitHub's synthetic merge tree.
+
+## Checkout as precondition
+
+The skill needs only `HEAD == PR head`. Worktrees
+(`claude --worktree "#123"` fetches `pull/N/head`) are one convenient way
+to get there; `gh pr checkout` and the author's own branch are others. The
+toolkit builds no checkouts itself: model-issued `git worktree add` is
+sandbox-denied at `.git/` registration, and 1.x's plumbing checkout script
+(read-tree/checkout-index dancing around sandbox-protected paths) was
+compensation machinery for reviewing the merge ref — deleted with it.
+
+## MCP's narrowed role
+
+GitHub MCP handles exactly three things: metadata (`pull_request_read`
+`get`, plus PR resolution via search/list), review threads (the collector
+agent), and posting (the approved write step). Bulk data — the changed-file
+manifest and patches — comes from the checkout via read-only git, so
+nothing depends on `MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS`, `get_files` pagination, or
+recovery retries.
+
+## Always fetch the base
+
+`git fetch origin refs/heads/<base.ref>` runs unconditionally before
+pinning `merge_base`, so the base is current at review time; the fully
+qualified ref cannot be parsed as an option or a same-named tag, and the
+pin and base-movement count compare against `FETCH_HEAD`, which is exact
+regardless of the clone's refspec configuration. Origin must be verified against the PR's base
+repository first: in a fork clone origin points at the fork, and fetching
+the fork's branch of the same name would silently compute a wrong
+merge-base.
+
+## Selection: deterministic heuristics → selector agent
+
+1.x selected lenses with deterministic path/content heuristics
+(`categorizePath`, `signalsForFile`, `enrichSignalsFromDiff`). 2.0 trades
+those for a schema-bound selector agent reading the real diff. The trade is
+accepted because selection is disclosed, never silent — which lenses ran
+and the selector's per-lens rationale land in `reviewMeta.lensSelection` —
+and invalid selector output falls back to running all lenses. The liberal
+posture is kept: when in doubt, include; general correctness always runs.
+
+## Agent tool surfaces
+
+Skill `allowed-tools` constrains only the orchestrator (learning recorded
+from PR #49) — workflow-spawned agents get their tools from their own agent
+definitions. The specialist agent stays a *denylist* agent so read-only MCP
+(gopls and other language servers) remains usable; the denylist hard-denies
+the github plugin's entire write surface, audited against the
+github-mcp-server toolsets the plugin enables. Re-audit that list whenever
+the github plugin dependency updates. The synthesis agent runs with no
+tools at all: it is fed the most untrusted text in the flow (finding
+bodies, thread comments), and the agent holding the most untrusted input
+should hold the fewest capabilities.
