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.

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.

The live review test sets ci_grace_s: 0, which the shared tuning parser
refused (every number had to be positive). A field now opts in to zero
with metadata {"zero": True}; ci_wait_s and ci_grace_s do.

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
and visible_repositories.

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.

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.

- uv workspace tying nisse-core, nisse-dev, nisse-ops together
(src layouts, workspace-sourced nisse-core dependency)
- Placeholder hello-world entry points for both agents, calling
through nisse-core to exercise the package boundary
- pytest unit tests per package; integration tests (marker-gated)
running the installed console scripts as subprocesses
- ruff lint + format, nisse_* declared first-party
- Gitea Actions workflow running lint, format check, unit and
integration tests; scripts/check.sh mirrors it locally
