Each call through BudgetedClient emits llm.call: seconds, input,
output and cached tokens, and the answering model when a fallback
answered; a failed call logs how long it ran before it failed.
Usage now carries the server's cached-prompt count on both routes.

nisse-review's review of #169: a reply quoting a top-level point, or one
Gitea refused on its line, arrives through list_comments, so answering it
would start the thank-you loop again. Also records what the live Gitea
showed: resolving is per comment, and resolving again is a 204.

The reviewer is read-only (R3), so Gitea refuses it resolving a thread.
Now each reply says whether it settles its thread, and a settled reply
carries <!-- nisse-review: settled -->. nisse-dev, as the author, resolves
every comment on that thread's line when it watches the PR, and doesn't
take the settled reply as a point to answer. scripts/resolve_settled.py
does the same for PRs made by hand.

On #166 the reviewer called post_review with two points unanswered, was
refused, answered them, then only skipped already-answered points until the
40-turn cap: the review went out as partial, its summary lost. A refused
ending call is now held, and the driver ends the run with it as soon as the
last point is settled (a new due hook in nisse-core's driver; nisse-dev
doesn't use it). A held call that is wrong for another reason by then
(sign_off over drafted comments) is left to the model. With nothing open,
reply and skip say which tool ends the run.

Opus's provider filter declined one of nisse-review's ask_expert
questions (which repositories a Gitea token can list) every time. It came
back as a 200 with no text, and the expert reported "unparseable reply:
empty reply". Both LLM clients now raise ModelRefused for
finish_reason content_filter (chat route) and stop_reason refusal
(passthrough). The expert's handback says what happened and what to do
instead.

Before each driver call, over compact_at (0.6) of the prompt budget, the
same model is asked for notes over the very request it was about to get,
plus one message, so the server's cache covers all but the notes. The notes,
with code's list of the calls they replace, become a compaction event that
renders in place of its range, keeping word for word what started the work
and the last few turns. Rare, large steps keep the prompt's start unchanged
between them. A later compaction folds in the earlier; one from an earlier
run's view is hidden.
Failed notes are logged and fitting takes over. Fitting now applies
compactions before it measures, records what it cuts (Trim) and logs each
cut as context.trimmed. Wired into both agents' drivers and the benchmark;
nisse-dev's helper loop is a follow-up.

Archives were downloaded and unpacked afresh for every run, which doesn't
scale to very large repositories. Each repository is now cloned once, with
its whole history, under scratch/repos/<owner>/<name>/ (head/ the clone,
base/ a worktree when read). A run fetches every branch and the PR's
refs/pull/N/head, checks out the head exactly, and fails if that head is
gone. Only the latest repository is kept for now.
Git runs walled off: none of the host's git configuration, links checked
out as plain files, no hooks, submodules or LFS, only the Gitea URL's
protocol, and the token as an http.extraHeader for that URL in git's
environment only. A stop ends a git command; a cut-short first clone is
removed. The reader never shows .git. GiteaClient.archive is gone.

SIGTERM used to stop only new rounds: a review in progress ran on until
systemd killed it 90s later. Now the scheduler's stop sets the driver's
cancel flag, so the run ends at its next turn, and a model call in flight
is broken off (Interruptible, raising Stopped from the signal handler, only
ever inside a model call). The item goes back to ready, with nothing
drafted posted and no failure counted; replies already posted carry their
markers and are not repeated.
intake.repo_failed is logged when a repository starts failing or the reason
changes, and intake.repo_ok when it lists again, not every round.

Back on a PR it reviewed: a new head gets a later review of the commits
since (each one's diff, through the API) and of its earlier points; what
was said since gets replies, answered where it was said or skipped with a
reason. It signs off once and stays quiet while still happy. Past
tuning.review.max_rounds it sums up for the operator and goes quiet,
until a push or someone other than the PR's author joins in. An
operator's `stop` quiets it; `review` asks for a fresh review.
Reviews carry numbered markers and replies their point's key, so
recovery posts nothing twice.

From its failed review of #156: read_file stopped at 20,000 characters
with no way on, so the reviewer hunted each file's end a definition at a
time and ran out of turns; its retry carried every read before it, and a
model call timed out. Both drafts were lost.
- read_file takes a start line and says where the next part starts.
- Each run's view starts at its brief (Transcript.since); the log keeps
the rest.
- A run out of turns with points drafted posts them as a partial review.

Found at bring-up: an empty private repository's /pulls answered 404, and
intake stopped there, so the whole round failed and nothing was reviewed.
A repository whose PRs can't be listed is now logged (intake.repo_failed)
and skipped for the round; its items stay as they are.
Also, from nisse-review's review of this PR: a two-page test pins the
search listing the patterns rest on.

At bring-up, `dev/*` failed: listing an organization's repositories
(/orgs/dev/repos) needs the read:organization token scope, which the
reviewer's token doesn't have and shouldn't need. Patterns are now matched
against /repos/search, which needs only the repository scope and already
lists every repository the account can read. A pattern that matches
nothing is logged (access.no_match). owner_repositories goes.
A Gitea error at startup is now reported like a config error, not a
traceback.

At bring-up, nisse-review read no repositories: Gitea's /user/repos leaves
out a public repository's Read collaborators, so dev/nisse never showed up.
`repositories` now holds patterns (dev/nisse, dev/*, */*) matched against
every repository the account can read, public ones included (an
organization's or user's list, or the instance's search); unset, it is
/user/repos as before. A configured repository it can't read is left out
with an oplog line.
The read-only wall (R3) is checked every round, not only at startup: an
account granted push or admin while running stops (exit 3) rather than
review on.
nisse-core's Gitea client gains GiteaNotFound for 404s, owner_repositories

Anyone's comment on an item's PR but an operator's (and its own) is a
peer's point (D5, L11): kept on the item with an id, in the transcript as
a `peer` message labelled with its author, and never an instruction. The
driver answers each with answer_peer, inline on its line or quoting it,
or skips it with skip_peer and a recorded reason. A run going back to
waiting with points open is reminded once; then the harness lists them
on the PR. A peer's comment wakes the item; a wake by peers alone goes
back to the same wait quietly, with one line in the thread. The
operator's inline comments are now answered inline too.
Also corrects ci.yml's header: a push to main runs no end-to-end tests.

A new package over nisse-core: it reviews every ready PR in the
repositories its account can read, and posts one COMMENT review.
- scheduler: each round, open PRs per readable repository (or the
configured repositories); an item per PR, ready unless draft or WIP;
closed with the PR. One review at a time, oldest first.
- reader: the repository at head and base from Gitea archives, unpacked
and read in Python (read_file, list_files, search_code), and its issues;
bound to the item's repository; no git, no shell.
- review: starts from the PR, commits, diff, comments, closed issues, CI;
comment drafts a point on any existing line; post_review posts one
COMMENT review at the head, inline where Gitea takes it, else as links in
the summary. ask_expert; vault and memory (memory/nisse-review).
- L8: posting is an intent; recovery asks Gitea for the marked review and
never posts twice; with Gitea down, the item waits.
- Failures retried, then said on the PR until the next push.
- Startup refuses an account that can push to or administer any repo.
- nisse-core gitea: readable_repositories, open_pull_requests, diff,
commits, archive, issue, search_issues, reviews, post_review; PR fields.
- Bring-up: scripts/review-bringup.sh; nisse-review.example.yaml.
- Tests: unit over a fake Gitea and scripted model; a live test
(NISSE_REVIEW_GITEA_TOKEN) reviews a PR in a fresh test repository.
- Docs: Development Plan M7.3, Tuning Guide (tuning.review.*).

Shared parts, not a shared scheduler (agreed): nisse-review will have its
own small scheduler; a common one waits until two exist to compare.
- nisse_core.loop.driver: the driver run, moved; the agent names its
waiting tools per run (nisse-dev's are WAITING_TOOLS), and execution
goes to any Executor (ToolOutcome moves with it).
- nisse_core.loop.tools: the tool helper and the tools any agent offers
(notes, memory, memory_done, ask_expert); nisse_core.loop.expert.
- nisse_core.knowledge.handlers: Knowledge, the vault and memory as
control tools, the index and prompt text, out of LoopAgent.
- nisse_core.config: file reading, references, people, tuning sections of
the agent's own, LLM numbers, the vault.
- New core tests: a driver run with a non-workspace executor and the
agent's own waiting set; Knowledge alone; the shared config pieces.
Docs: the Development Plan marks M7.2 done; Architecture Part L and the
nisse-core README name the new parts.

A review agent comes second: it reads every ready PR in the repositories
it can see and discusses its points on the PR, never changing code.
- Architecture Part R: duty and items (R1), rounds capped and reset by
anyone else commenting (R2), read-only reach bound to the item's
repository, no approvals, no build VM for now (R3), peers (R4), local
model with ask_expert, no Matrix room for now, own identity (R5).
- D5 and L11: a peer's review is constructive criticism, answered point by
point; never an instruction, approval or go-ahead; nisse-dev doesn't
wait for it before asking to merge.
- Part Q: letting nisse-review approve a limited subset of PRs.
- Development Plan: Phase 7 is nisse-core and nisse-review (M7.2-M7.6);
nisse-ops moves to Phase 8 (M8.1-M8.5), with the MCP decisions so far.

What isn't the dev agent's moves to nisse-core, unchanged in behaviour,
with its tests: canonical, render, render_anthropic, llm, catalog, probe,
context, views, state, reconcile, worker, cancel, dump, transport, matrix,
execution, testing, vault, memory, oplog, envfile and gitea (whole).
- nisse_core.state.StateStore holds the tables every agent has; an
agent's subclass adds its tables (version, migrations), roles and
views. nisse_dev.state.StateStore adds the build VM blocks (v5).
- views.project takes what each role is shown, rather than a fixed table.
- Vault takes the agent's name (agent=), for provenance.
- A test that nisse_core never imports an agent.
- The loop, config, git, delegation, expert, tools and evals stay in
nisse-dev until nisse-ops has a loop to share.
Docs: the Development Plan marks M7.1 done and notes that Phase 6 waits on
the agent host and Terraform; Architecture Part L names the package.

Every execution tool call, the driver's and a helper's, gets a verdict
from code before it runs (P3, P4, D6).
- nisse_core.actions, nisse-core's first code: Action and Verdict, and
reading shell commands statically, segment by segment (cd, wrappers,
sh -c). What can't be read that way is unknown; a line is as bad as
its worst command.
- nisse_dev.loop.actions, the rule table: reading, checks and tests are
harmless; workspace edits, local git and installs on the build VM are
contained; pushing, other hosts, uploads, publishing, the forge's own
tools, deleting outside the workspace and wrecking the VM are
dangerous; changing branches by hand is refused (the harness owns
branches) with a pointer to the milestone tools.
- A dangerous call isn't run. The item waits on the operator with a
question rendered from the action, and `allow` lets exactly that
action run once. A helper can't ask, so it is refused and told to
hand back. Unknown actions run, logged, until the classifier (M3.2).
- Every verdict is an action_verdict event, which no model sees, and an
oplog line; `details` shows the counts and every action not simply
run.
- The property walk gains dangerous_only_when_allowed (checked against
a mutant that doesn't use the allow up); the slice e2e checks every
call was judged and none needed an allow.

Development Plan M0.1. Every section reference in code, tests, specs/,
the example config, the tuning guide, and the CLAUDE.md and README files
now cites docs/Architecture.md (P, L, D, O, X, Q) instead of the old
spec's A-H, and docs/Architecture-Build-Spec.md is deleted (git keeps
it). The plan's old-to-new table goes with it.
Mostly mechanical, with a per-site choice where one old section split:
A4 became L2 where it meant stop/abandon/the loop and L3 where it meant
approvals; A10 became L6 in the context-budget code and L7 elsewhere; B2
became D4 for outbound Gitea and publishing and D5 for review intake;
'A3 step N' became the matching step of L8's boot sequence. Comments
describing behaviour the architecture drops (planning always escalating,
thresholds tuned at an old build step) now describe the current code and
point at the Development Plan.
docs/Architecture.md gains one line the rewrite missed: intake outages
delay but never fail work (old B2), now in L5, where the poller and
Matrix code cite it.
Comments and docs only; no behaviour change.

nisse-core's history becomes the repo root; the spec moves to docs/ at
top level; nisse-dev and nisse-ops fold in as package directories, their
seed histories (pointer files only) discarded. Pointer READMEs and
CLAUDE.mds are rewritten for in-tree paths.
Rationale: for a solo operator the three-repo split tripled admin
surface (tokens, CI, webhooks, permissions, backups) and imposed a
version-pinning contract on nisse-core, while the repo boundary was
never a trust boundary — the VM is. The spec's Part H is updated in the
next commit to record the decision.
