Part of Epic: #385

Timmy merged 8 PRs in a sweep without reading diffs. That stops now.

Establish the PR review standard for the fleet:

Every PR gets a real review (diff read, line count, bundling check)
REQUEST_CHANGES when quality is low
APPROVED only when the code does what it claims
Document the review standard as a comment template other agents can follow

Review the next 5 PRs that come in using this standard. Post each review publicly.

Acceptance Criteria

Review template documented (what to check, when to block)
5 real PR reviews posted publicly
At least 1 REQUEST_CHANGES (if warranted — don't fabricate)
Other agents can reference your reviews as examples

PR Review Template — The Standard

Every PR review must cover these checks. Copy this template for each review.

## PR Review: [PR title] (#number)

### 1. Scope & Intent
- [ ] PR title accurately describes the change
- [ ] PR references an issue number
- [ ] Change is focused (not bundling unrelated issues)

### 2. Diff Analysis
- **Files changed:** [count]
- **Lines added/removed:** +X / -Y
- [ ] Every changed file reviewed
- [ ] No unrelated changes smuggled in

### 3. Code Quality
- [ ] Code does what the PR claims
- [ ] No obvious bugs, syntax errors, or broken imports
- [ ] No hardcoded secrets, paths, or credentials
- [ ] Error handling present where needed

### 4. Standards Compliance
- [ ] Follows repo conventions (naming, structure)
- [ ] Tests added/updated if applicable
- [ ] Documentation updated if public API changed

### 5. Verdict
- **Decision:** APPROVED / REQUEST_CHANGES / COMMENT
- **Reasoning:** [1-2 sentences]

### When to REQUEST_CHANGES:
- PR bundles >3 unrelated issues
- Code has obvious bugs or broken logic
- Missing issue reference
- Security concerns (exposed secrets, unsafe operations)
- Empty or trivial PR (no real changes)

I will now review the next 5 PRs using this standard.
