## Step 1: Review queue first (reviewer profile)

1. `gitea_resolve_task_capability(task="review_pr")`
2. List open PRs; pick the oldest eligible PR (not self-authored, mergeable).
3. Pin head SHA; validate diff scope and run tests locally.
4. `gitea_mark_final_review_decision` → `gitea_review_pr` / `gitea_submit_pr_review`
5. `gitea_merge_pr` only with `confirmation="MERGE PR <n>"` and pinned head SHA.

## Step 2: Implement issues (author profile)

0. Work Selection Rule — verify a work lease before any mutations (open PRs,
   issue-linked PRs, branches, worktrees, dirty worktrees, active leases/
   handoffs, merged-PR completion). Stop if another session owns the lease.
1. `gitea_resolve_task_capability` for the author task.
2. `gitea_lock_issue` before implementation mutations.
3. Claim with `gitea_mark_issue` / `status:in-progress` label.
4. Branch, implement, test, push, `gitea_create_pr`.
5. Release claim when done; never self-review the PR.

## Step 3: Operator follow-ups

Wiki publication, credential provisioning, and cross-repo mirror operations are
operator-confirmed actions — see [Runbooks](Runbooks.md).
