This PR addresses Gitea-Tools Issue #179 by extending review_proofs.py with the four post-#173 proof gaps, raising the A-level bar for blind PR review runs.

Summary:

assess_capability_evidence — a capability claim (review_pr, merge_pr, …) counts only with exact evidence citing gitea_resolve_task_capability output or equivalent runtime context; no claims fails closed.
assess_sweep_evidence — secret/provenance sweeps must state the exact command/script/pattern/named method, the scope scanned, and a boolean result; vague summaries downgrade, missing sweeps fail closed.
assess_live_state_recheck — explicit pre-mutation recheck proving: PR still open, live head SHA equals pinned head (full 40-hex), base branch unchanged, blocking review state checked and absent; not performing it fails closed.
assess_role_boundary — reviewer runs using an author namespace (or vice versa) are clean only with explicit justification; unreported namespace usage fails closed.
build_final_report now accepts the four proofs as keyword arguments: any missing/failed proof downgrades; merge_allowed additionally requires the proven live-state recheck; a merge performed without it is a blocked violation. Existing #173 semantics unchanged otherwise — gates only get stricter.
skills/llm-project-workflow/SKILL.md §F/§G and templates/review-pr.md / templates/merge-pr.md wire in the capability-evidence, exact-sweep, pre-verdict + pre-merge live-state recheck, and reviewer-namespace requirements.

Tests run (exact results):

Targeted: venv/bin/pytest tests/test_review_proofs.py -q → 72 passed in 0.04s (43 existing + 29 new, covering all #179 harness assertions: unevidenced capability claims downgraded; vague sweep downgraded; missing/stale live-state recheck downgrades and blocks merge, blocked violation if a merge is claimed anyway; unjustified author-namespace use downgraded; #173 positive baseline preserved)
Full suite: venv/bin/pytest tests/ --ignore=branches → 712 passed, 6 skipped in 8.41s (normal stdout summary, no junitxml workaround — post-#180)
git diff --check prgs/master...HEAD → clean
python3 -m py_compile $(git ls-files '*.py') → OK

Safety confirmation: no PR review, approval, request-changes, merge, or issue close was performed by this run; the issue was claimed via an issue comment (gitea.issue.comment, exactly proven) because gitea_resolve_task_capability reports mark_issue as unknown (fail closed) — that resolver gap is #183's scope. No safety gate is weakened; all new checks are strictly additive.

Closes #179

This PR addresses Gitea-Tools Issue #179 by extending `review_proofs.py` with the four post-#173 proof gaps, raising the A-level bar for blind PR review runs. Summary: 1. `assess_capability_evidence` — a capability claim (review_pr, merge_pr, …) counts only with exact evidence citing `gitea_resolve_task_capability` output or equivalent runtime context; no claims fails closed. 2. `assess_sweep_evidence` — secret/provenance sweeps must state the exact command/script/pattern/named method, the scope scanned, and a boolean result; vague summaries downgrade, missing sweeps fail closed. 3. `assess_live_state_recheck` — explicit pre-mutation recheck proving: PR still open, live head SHA equals pinned head (full 40-hex), base branch unchanged, blocking review state checked and absent; not performing it fails closed. 4. `assess_role_boundary` — reviewer runs using an author namespace (or vice versa) are clean only with explicit justification; unreported namespace usage fails closed. 5. `build_final_report` now accepts the four proofs as keyword arguments: any missing/failed proof downgrades; `merge_allowed` additionally requires the proven live-state recheck; a merge performed without it is a blocked violation. Existing #173 semantics unchanged otherwise — gates only get stricter. 6. `skills/llm-project-workflow/SKILL.md` §F/§G and `templates/review-pr.md` / `templates/merge-pr.md` wire in the capability-evidence, exact-sweep, pre-verdict + pre-merge live-state recheck, and reviewer-namespace requirements.

Safety confirmation: no PR review, approval, request-changes, merge, or issue close was performed by this run; the issue was claimed via an issue comment (`gitea.issue.comment`, exactly proven) because `gitea_resolve_task_capability` reports `mark_issue` as unknown (fail closed) — that resolver gap is #183's scope.

feat(review-workflow): raise A-bar with capability, sweep, live-state, and role-boundary proofs (#179 ) e2247fab85

Extends review_proofs.py with the four #179 proofs, the successor set to
the #173 checkout/inventory proofs:

- assess_capability_evidence: a capability claim (review_pr, merge_pr, ...)
  counts only with exact evidence citing gitea_resolve_task_capability
  output or equivalent runtime context; no claims at all fails closed.
- assess_sweep_evidence: secret/provenance sweeps must state the exact
  command/script/pattern/named method, the scope scanned, and a boolean
  result; vague summaries are downgraded and a missing sweep fails closed.
- assess_live_state_recheck: an explicit pre-mutation recheck must prove
  the PR is still open, the live head equals the pinned head (full
  40-hex), the base branch is unchanged, and blocking review state was
  checked and absent; not performing it fails closed.
- assess_role_boundary: a reviewer run using an author namespace (or vice
  versa) is clean only with an explicit justification; unreported
  namespace usage fails closed.

build_final_report now takes the four proofs as keyword arguments: any
missing or failed proof downgrades the grade, merge_allowed additionally
requires the proven live-state recheck, and a merge performed without it
is a blocked violation. Existing #173 semantics are unchanged otherwise;
gates only get stricter.

tests/test_review_proofs.py adds 29 tests covering the issue's harness
assertions: capability claims without evidence downgraded, vague sweeps
downgraded, missing/stale live-state recheck downgrades and blocks merge
(violation when a merge is claimed anyway), unjustified author-namespace
use downgraded, and the #173 positive baseline preserved.

SKILL.md sections F/G and the review-pr/merge-pr templates now require the
capability evidence, exact sweep, pre-verdict and pre-merge live-state
rechecks, and reviewer-namespace discipline.

Closes #179

Blocker:

assess_sweep_evidence() treats a sweep result with clean=False as proven=True because clean=False is a boolean and does not add a reason, and proven is derived only from verdict == "exact". That means a final report can satisfy the new secret/provenance sweep proof even when the sweep found secrets or provenance hits. This weakens the safety gate introduced by #179. Add coverage for clean=False and make the helper/final report fail or downgrade that case.

No merge attempted.
