feat: native SAP AI Core support

Add native SAP AI Core provider that handles OAuth token management and
deployment discovery automatically. This eliminates the need for the
external LLM proxy when running in SAP environments.

Changes:
- Add AICoreClient with OAuth token caching and deployment URL discovery
- Support both Anthropic and OpenAI models via AI Core deployments
- Update CI to use native AI Core provider
- Update action inputs to accept AI Core credentials
- Update README with AI Core configuration examples

Model names must match AI Core deployment names (e.g. anthropic--claude-4.6-sonnet, gpt-5).

 # review-bot
 
-Automated code review bot for Gitea. Fetches a pull request diff, sends it to an LLM for analysis, and posts a structured review back to the PR.
+AI-powered code review bot for Gitea pull requests. Fetches diff + context, sends to an LLM, and posts a structured review (APPROVE / REQUEST_CHANGES) back to the PR.
 
 ## Features
 
-- Fetches PR metadata, diff, and CI status from Gitea API
+- **Multi-provider**: OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic Messages API, and SAP AI Core
-- Sends context-rich prompts to any OpenAI-compatible LLM
+- **Context-aware**: Fetches full file content, conventions, language patterns, CI status
-- Parses structured JSON review responses
+- **Smart budget**: Automatically trims context to fit model token limits
-- Posts formatted reviews (APPROVE / REQUEST_CHANGES) back to Gitea
+- **Idempotent reviews**: Posts new review, then cleans up stale ones (one review per bot)
-- Supports custom coding conventions via repo files
+- **Custom prompts**: Load additional instructions from a file (e.g. security-focused review)
-- Zero external dependencies — Go stdlib only
+- **Zero dependencies**: Go stdlib only
 
-## Usage
+## Quick Start: Composite Action
+
+The easiest way to use review-bot in your Gitea CI:
+
+```yaml
+# .gitea/workflows/review.yml
+name: Review
+on:
+  pull_request:
+    types: [opened, synchronize]
+
+jobs:
+  review:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v0.1.0
+        with:
+          reviewer-token: ${{ secrets.REVIEW_TOKEN }}
+          reviewer-name: code-review
+          llm-base-url: ${{ secrets.LLM_BASE_URL }}
+          llm-api-key: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
+          llm-model: gpt-4.1
+```
+
+That's it. Every PR gets an automated review.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Single reviewer with conventions
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  review:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v0.1.0
+        with:
+          reviewer-token: ${{ secrets.REVIEW_TOKEN }}
+          reviewer-name: reviewer
+          llm-base-url: ${{ secrets.LLM_BASE_URL }}
+          llm-api-key: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
+          llm-model: gpt-4.1
+          conventions-file: CONVENTIONS.md
+          timeout: '600'
+```
+
+### Two reviewers with different models (diversity of opinion)
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  review:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        include:
+          - name: gpt
+            model: gpt-4.1
+            token_secret: GPT_REVIEW_TOKEN
+          - name: claude
+            model: claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+            token_secret: CLAUDE_REVIEW_TOKEN
+            provider: anthropic
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v0.1.0
+        with:
+          reviewer-token: ${{ secrets[matrix.token_secret] }}
+          reviewer-name: ${{ matrix.name }}
+          llm-base-url: ${{ secrets.LLM_BASE_URL }}
+          llm-api-key: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
+          llm-model: ${{ matrix.model }}
+          llm-provider: ${{ matrix.provider }}
+          conventions-file: CONVENTIONS.md
+```
+
+Each reviewer posts independently and only cleans up its own stale reviews.
+
+### Multiple review types from a single bot account
+
+Use the same Gitea token but different `reviewer-name` values to run specialized reviews without needing multiple bot accounts:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  review:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        include:
+          - name: code-quality
+            model: gpt-4.1
+          - name: security
+            model: gpt-4.1
+            system_prompt_file: .review/SECURITY.md
+          - name: performance
+            model: gpt-4.1
+            system_prompt_file: .review/PERFORMANCE.md
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v0.1.0
+        with:
+          reviewer-token: ${{ secrets.REVIEW_TOKEN }}
+          reviewer-name: ${{ matrix.name }}
+          llm-base-url: ${{ secrets.LLM_BASE_URL }}
+          llm-api-key: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
+          llm-model: ${{ matrix.model }}
+          system-prompt-file: ${{ matrix.system_prompt_file }}
+```
+
+The sentinel `<!-- review-bot:security -->` ensures the security review only replaces previous security reviews, never the code-quality or performance reviews.
+
+### With language patterns from another repo
+
+```yaml
+- uses: https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v0.1.0
+  with:
+    reviewer-token: ${{ secrets.REVIEW_TOKEN }}
+    reviewer-name: reviewer
+    llm-base-url: ${{ secrets.LLM_BASE_URL }}
+    llm-api-key: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
+    llm-model: gpt-4.1
+    conventions-file: CLAUDE.md
+    patterns-repo: rodin/go-patterns,rodin/kubernetes-conventions
+    patterns-files: "README.md,patterns/"
+```
+
+Pattern repos are fetched at review time. The reviewer uses them as criteria for idiomatic code.
+
+### Dry run (test without posting)
+
+```yaml
+- uses: https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v0.1.0
+  with:
+    reviewer-token: ${{ secrets.REVIEW_TOKEN }}
+    reviewer-name: test
+    llm-base-url: ${{ secrets.LLM_BASE_URL }}
+    llm-api-key: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
+    llm-model: gpt-4.1
+    dry-run: 'true'
+```
+
+Prints the review to CI logs without posting to the PR. Useful for testing prompt changes.
+
+### Using Anthropic directly
+
+```yaml
+- uses: https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v0.1.0
+  with:
+    reviewer-token: ${{ secrets.REVIEW_TOKEN }}
+    reviewer-name: claude
+    llm-base-url: https://api.anthropic.com
+    llm-api-key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
+    llm-model: claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+    llm-provider: anthropic
+```
+
+### Using SAP AI Core
+
+For SAP environments with AI Core deployments, use the `aicore` provider for native authentication:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v0.1.0
+  with:
+    reviewer-token: ${{ secrets.REVIEW_TOKEN }}
+    reviewer-name: aicore-review
+    llm-model: anthropic--claude-4.6-sonnet  # or gpt-5
+    llm-provider: aicore
+    aicore-client-id: ${{ secrets.AICORE_CLIENT_ID }}
+    aicore-client-secret: ${{ secrets.AICORE_CLIENT_SECRET }}
+    aicore-auth-url: ${{ secrets.AICORE_AUTH_URL }}
+    aicore-api-url: ${{ secrets.AICORE_API_URL }}
+    aicore-resource-group: default
+```
+
+AI Core handles OAuth token management and deployment discovery automatically. Model names must match the deployment name in AI Core (e.g. `anthropic--claude-4.6-sonnet`, `gpt-5`).
+
+## Action Inputs
+
+| Input | Required | Default | Description |
+|-------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `reviewer-token` | Yes | — | Gitea token for posting reviews (needs `write:issue`, `write:repository`) |
+| `reviewer-name` | No | `""` | Logical identity for this reviewer. Used as sentinel for idempotent cleanup. Set this when running multiple review bots on the same PR. |
+| `llm-base-url` | No* | `""` | LLM API base URL (required unless using aicore provider) |
+| `llm-api-key` | No* | `""` | LLM API key (required unless using aicore provider) |
+| `llm-model` | Yes | — | Model name |
+| `llm-provider` | No | `openai` | API provider: `openai`, `anthropic`, or `aicore` |
+| `aicore-client-id` | No** | `""` | SAP AI Core client ID |
+| `aicore-client-secret` | No** | `""` | SAP AI Core client secret |
+| `aicore-auth-url` | No** | `""` | SAP AI Core authentication URL |
+| `aicore-api-url` | No** | `""` | SAP AI Core API URL |
+| `aicore-resource-group` | No | `default` | SAP AI Core resource group |
+| `conventions-file` | No | `""` | Path to coding conventions file in the repo |
+| `patterns-repo` | No | `""` | Comma-separated repos with language patterns (e.g. `rodin/go-patterns`) |
+| `patterns-files` | No | `README.md` | Files/directories to fetch from pattern repos |
+| `system-prompt-file` | No | `""` | Local file with additional system prompt instructions |
+| `persona` | No | `""` | Built-in persona name (security, architect, docs) |
+| `persona-file` | No | `""` | Path to persona JSON file with custom review focus |
+| `temperature` | No | `0` | LLM temperature (0 = server default) |
+| `timeout` | No | `300` | LLM request timeout in seconds |
+| `dry-run` | No | `false` | Print review to stdout instead of posting |
+| `update-existing` | No | `true` | Delete previous review from same bot before posting. Accepts: true/1/yes or false/0/no |
+| `version` | No | `latest` | review-bot version to install |
+
+*Required for `openai` and `anthropic` providers, not for `aicore`.
+**Required only for `aicore` provider.
+
+## Runner Requirements
+
+The composite action requires these tools on the runner:
+
+| Tool | Used For |
+|------|----------|
+| `python3` | JSON parsing during version detection |
+| `sha256sum` | Checksum verification of downloaded binary |
+| `curl` | Downloading releases and querying the API |
+
+All three are pre-installed on `ubuntu-*` runners (e.g. `ubuntu-24.04`). If you use a custom runner image, ensure these are available.
+
+## How Review Cleanup Works
+
+When `reviewer-name` is set, the bot embeds a hidden sentinel in each review:
+
+```html
+<!-- review-bot:code-review -->
+```
+
+On the next run, it finds and deletes any review containing its own sentinel (except the one it just posted). This means:
+
+- **One review per bot per PR** — no clutter from repeated pushes
+- **Multiple bots coexist** — each only cleans up its own reviews
+- **Same token, different roles** — a single bot account can post "code-review" and "security" reviews without conflict
+- **No extra permissions** — identity comes from the sentinel, not the API
+
+If `reviewer-name` is empty, cleanup is skipped (reviews stack like before).
+
+### Shared Token: Worst-Wins Behavior
+
+When multiple review types share the same Gitea bot account (e.g. code-quality and security), Gitea determines the user's approval state from their **most recent review**. This creates a race condition: if security finds issues (REQUEST_CHANGES) but code-quality finishes last (APPROVE), the PR appears approved.
+
+review-bot handles this automatically with **worst-wins reconciliation**: before posting, each job checks whether any sibling review from the same user already has REQUEST_CHANGES. If so and this job would post APPROVE, it posts as REQUEST_CHANGES instead — maintaining the block. This ensures the PR stays blocked until all checks pass, regardless of execution order.
+
+**If you need independent approval/block per review type**, use separate Gitea bot accounts with their own tokens.
+
+## Custom Review Prompts
+
+Use `system-prompt-file` to specialize the review focus. The file contents are appended to the base system prompt as "Additional Review Instructions."
+
+Example `SECURITY_REVIEW.md`:
+
+```markdown
+You are performing a security-focused code review.
+
+Focus areas:
+- Injection attacks (SQL, command, path traversal, template)
+- Authentication/Authorization (missing checks, privilege escalation)
+- Secrets exposure (hardcoded credentials, tokens in logs)
+- Input validation (unsanitized input, unsafe deserialization)
+- Race conditions (TOCTOU, unsynchronized shared state)
+
+Rules:
+- Only report findings with security implications
+- Ignore style, naming, and general code quality
+- MAJOR = exploitable vulnerability, MINOR = hardening opportunity, NIT = theoretical risk
+- If no security-relevant changes exist, APPROVE with empty findings
+```

-## Adding to a Gitea Repository
+## Setup
 
-1. Build the binary or use the CI workflow approach (build in CI).
+1. **Create a Gitea bot account** (e.g. `review-bot`)
+2. **Generate a token** with scopes: `write:issue`, `write:repository`
+3. **Add secrets** to your Gitea repo (Settings → Actions → Secrets):
+   - `REVIEW_TOKEN` — the bot's Gitea token
+   - `LLM_BASE_URL` — your LLM endpoint
+   - `LLM_API_KEY` — your LLM key
+4. **Add the workflow** (see Quick Start above)
 
-2. Add secrets to your Gitea repo (Settings → Actions → Secrets):
+### Token Scopes Required
-   - `SONNET_REVIEW_TOKEN` — Gitea token for the Sonnet reviewer account
-   - `GPT_REVIEW_TOKEN` — Gitea token for the GPT reviewer account
-   - `LLM_BASE_URL` — Your LLM API endpoint
-   - `LLM_API_KEY` — Your LLM API key
 
-3. Copy `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` to your repo (or adapt it).
+| Scope | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `write:issue` | Post and delete reviews |
+| `write:repository` | Read PR diffs, file content, commit statuses |
 
-4. On every PR, the bot will:
+No `read:user` scope needed — the bot identifies itself from the review response.
-   - Run tests and vet
-   - Build review-bot
-   - Post reviews from each configured LLM reviewer

+## Review Personas
+
+Personas provide role-based review specialization. Instead of generic code review, each persona focuses on a specific domain (security, architecture, documentation) with tailored prompts and severity calibration.
+
+### Built-in Personas
+
+| Persona | Focus |
+|---------|-------|
+| `security` | Vulnerabilities, auth bypass, secrets exposure, injection attacks |
+| `architect` | Design patterns, code organization, API contracts, testability |
+| `docs` | Documentation quality, API clarity, error messages |
+
+### Using Built-in Personas
+
+```yaml
+- uses: rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v1
+  with:
+    reviewer-name: security
+    persona: security
+    llm-model: claude-opus-4-20250514  # Security benefits from strong reasoning
+    ...
+```
+
+### Multiple Personas in Parallel
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  review:
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        include:
+          - name: security
+            persona: security
+          - name: architect
+            persona: architect
+    steps:
+      - uses: rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v1
+        with:
+          reviewer-name: ${{ matrix.name }}
+          persona: ${{ matrix.persona }}
+          ...
+```
+
+Each persona posts independently with its own sentinel, so reviews don't interfere.
+
+
+### Custom Personas
+
+Create a JSON file with your domain-specific review focus:
+
+```json
+// .review/personas/trading.json
+{
+  "name": "trading",
+  "display_name": "Trading Domain Expert",
+  "identity": "You are a trading systems expert reviewing code for correctness.\n\nYour expertise:\n- Order lifecycle and state machines\n- Fill handling and partial fills\n- Position tracking and P&L calculations\n- Event sourcing invariants",
+  "focus": [
+    "Order state machine correctness",
+    "Fill handling edge cases (partial, overfill)",
+    "Position and P&L calculation accuracy",
+    "Event replay determinism",
+    "Decimal precision for money"
+  ],
+  "ignore": [
+    "Code style",
+    "General performance",
+    "Documentation formatting"
+  ],
+  "severity": {
+    "major": "Bugs that cause incorrect positions, fills, or money calculations",
+    "minor": "Edge cases that could cause issues under unusual conditions",
+    "nit": "Clarity improvements for domain logic"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Use it in CI:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v1
+  with:
+    reviewer-name: trading
+    persona-file: .review/personas/trading.json
+    ...
+```
+
+
+### Persona vs system-prompt-file
+
+| Feature | `persona` / `persona-file` | `system-prompt-file` |
+|---------|---------------------------|----------------------|
+| Replaces base prompt | Yes | No (appends) |
+| Structured format | Yes (JSON) | No (freeform) |
+| Focus/ignore lists | Yes | Manual |
+| Severity calibration | Yes | Manual |
+| Header display name | Yes | No |
+| Built-in options | Yes | No |
+
+Use personas for domain-specialized reviews. Use `system-prompt-file` for minor tweaks to the generic review.

SECURITY_REVIEW.md

+You are performing a security-focused code review. Your primary concern is identifying vulnerabilities, not general code quality.
+
+Focus areas:
+- **Injection attacks**: SQL injection, command injection, path traversal, template injection
+- **Authentication/Authorization**: Missing auth checks, privilege escalation, IDOR
+- **Secrets exposure**: Hardcoded credentials, API keys in code, tokens in logs
+- **Input validation**: Untrusted input used without sanitization, unsafe deserialization
+- **Cryptography**: Weak algorithms, predictable randomness, improper key management
+- **Error handling**: Information leakage in error messages, stack traces exposed
+- **Dependencies**: Known vulnerable patterns, unsafe use of external libraries
+- **Race conditions**: TOCTOU bugs, unsynchronized shared state
+- **Resource exhaustion**: Unbounded allocations, missing timeouts, denial-of-service vectors
+
+Rules for this review:
+- Only report findings with actual security implications. Ignore style, naming, and general code quality.
+- Severity mapping: MAJOR = exploitable vulnerability or data exposure. MINOR = defense-in-depth improvement or hardening opportunity. NIT = theoretical concern with low practical risk.
+- If the code has no security-relevant changes, APPROVE with an empty findings list.
+- Do not duplicate findings that a standard code review would catch (logic bugs, missing error checks) unless they have a security dimension.

+# Design: Role-based Review Personas (Issue #51)
+
+> **Note:** This design was revised during implementation to use JSON instead of YAML
+> to maintain the repository's zero-external-dependencies convention. All persona
+> files use JSON format. See "Design Revision" section at the end for details.
+
+## Problem
+
+Current review-bot performs generic code review. Every reviewer (regardless of `reviewer-name`) uses the same base prompt and evaluates the same concerns. This leads to:
+
+1. **Redundancy** — Two reviewers (e.g., GPT + Claude twins) often flag identical issues
+2. **Gaps** — Generic reviewers miss specialized concerns (security, domain logic, architecture)
+3. **Noise** — NITs about style mixed with critical security findings
+4. **No ownership** — Findings lack clear domain attribution
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Must work with existing CLI flags and CI workflow patterns
+- Must not break backwards compatibility (existing configs still work)
+- Must integrate cleanly with the budget system (personas add to context)
+- Multiple personas running in parallel must not interfere with each other
+- Each persona must have clear scope boundaries (no duplication)
+
+## Proposed Approach
+
+### 1. Persona Definition
+
+A persona is a named review role with:
+- **Identity** — Who am I? What's my expertise?
+- **Focus** — What do I look for?
+- **Scope boundaries** — What do I explicitly NOT comment on?
+- **Severity calibration** — What counts as MAJOR/MINOR/NIT for MY domain?
+
+Personas are defined in JSON files that can live:
+1. In the pattern repos (shared across projects)
+2. In the target repo (project-specific personas)
+3. Inline via a new `--persona-file` flag (JSON format)
+
+### 2. Persona File Format
+
+```json
+# .review/personas/security.yaml
+name: security
+display_name: Security Specialist
+model_preference: opus  # optional hint for expensive analysis
+
+identity: |
+  You are a security specialist reviewing code for vulnerabilities.
+  Your expertise: OWASP Top 10, injection attacks, auth/authz, secrets management,
+  event sourcing security (replay attacks, event injection).
+
+focus:
+  - Injection attacks (SQL, command, path traversal, template)
+  - Authentication and authorization gaps
+  - Secrets exposure (hardcoded credentials, tokens in logs)
+  - Input validation (unsanitized input, unsafe deserialization)
+  - Race conditions with security implications
+  - Event sourcing attack vectors
+
+ignore:
+  - Code style and naming conventions
+  - Performance (unless security-related)
+  - Documentation
+  - General code quality
+  - Test coverage
+
+severity:
+  critical: "Remote code execution, auth bypass, data exfiltration"
+  major: "Privilege escalation, information disclosure, DoS"
+  minor: "Missing rate limiting, verbose errors"
+  nit: "Theoretical risk with low exploitability"
+
+output_format: |
+  For each finding:
+  - Severity: [CRITICAL|MAJOR|MINOR|NIT]
+  - Attack vector: How could this be exploited?
+  - Evidence: Code snippet showing the vulnerability
+  - Recommendation: Specific fix
+```
+
+### 3. New CLI Flags
+
+```
+--persona-file PATH      Path to persona JSON file (local or in repo)
+--persona NAME           Built-in persona name (security, architect, domain)
+```
+
+Either flag sets the persona. If neither is provided, behavior is unchanged (generic review).
+
+### 4. Prompt Assembly
+
+Current flow:
+```
+SystemBase → Patterns → Conventions → [LLM]
+```
+
+New flow with persona:
+```
+PersonaPrompt (from YAML) → Patterns (filtered?) → Conventions → [LLM]
+```
+
+The persona's identity/focus/ignore/severity sections become the system prompt, replacing the generic "You are an expert code reviewer" base.
+
+### 5. Built-in Personas
+
+Ship with these built-in personas (loadable via `--persona NAME`):
+
+| Name | Focus |
+|------|-------|
+| `security` | Vulnerabilities, auth, secrets |
+| `architect` | Patterns, consistency, design |
+| `domain` | Business logic (requires repo-specific config) |
+| `docs` | Documentation, API clarity |
+
+Built-in personas live in `review/personas/` as embedded Go assets or YAML shipped with the binary.
+
+### 6. CI Workflow Integration
+
+Single persona:
+```yaml
+- uses: rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v1
+  with:
+    reviewer-name: security
+    persona: security
+    ...
+```
+
+Multiple personas (parallel jobs):
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  review:
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        include:
+          - name: security
+            persona: security
+          - name: architect
+            persona: architect
+    steps:
+      - uses: rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v1
+        with:
+          reviewer-name: ${{ matrix.name }}
+          persona: ${{ matrix.persona }}
+```
+
+Custom persona from repo:
+```yaml
+- uses: rodin/review-bot/.gitea/actions/review@v1
+  with:
+    reviewer-name: trading
+    persona-file: .review/personas/trading.yaml
+```
+
+### 7. Persona + Patterns Interaction
+
+Some personas benefit from filtered patterns:
+- Security → only security-related patterns
+- Architect → all patterns (structural focus)
+- Domain → domain docs, not language patterns
+
+For v1, keep it simple: all patterns are included regardless of persona. Future enhancement could add `patterns_filter` to persona YAML.
+
+### 8. Output Format Changes
+
+Persona name appears in the review header:
+```markdown
+# Security Review
+
+## Summary
+No critical vulnerabilities found in this change.
+
+## Findings
+| # | Severity | File | Line | Finding |
+...
+
+## Recommendation
+**APPROVE** — No security-relevant issues detected.
+
+---
+*Review by security*
+<!-- review-bot:security -->
+```
+
+## State/Data Model
+
+### Persona struct
+
+```go
+// review/persona.go
+type Persona struct {
+    Name          string   `yaml:"name"`
+    DisplayName   string   `yaml:"display_name"`
+    ModelPref     string   `yaml:"model_preference,omitempty"`
+    Identity      string   `yaml:"identity"`
+    Focus         []string `yaml:"focus"`
+    Ignore        []string `yaml:"ignore"`
+    Severity      Severity `yaml:"severity"`
+    OutputFormat  string   `yaml:"output_format,omitempty"`
+}
+
+type Severity struct {
+    Critical string `yaml:"critical"`
+    Major    string `yaml:"major"`
+    Minor    string `yaml:"minor"`
+    Nit      string `yaml:"nit"`
+}
+```
+
+### Loading precedence
+
+1. `--persona-file PATH` → load from local file system
+2. `--persona NAME` → load from embedded built-ins
+3. Neither → use generic system prompt (current behavior)
+
+## Error Cases
+
+| Error | Handling |
+|-------|----------|
+| Persona file not found | Fatal exit with clear message |
+| Invalid YAML in persona file | Fatal exit with parse error |
+| Both `--persona` and `--persona-file` specified | Fatal exit: mutually exclusive |
+| Unknown built-in persona name | Fatal exit with list of valid names |
+| Empty identity in persona | Warning, fall back to generic prompt |
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+- **Empty focus list**: Valid — persona relies on identity alone
+- **Empty ignore list**: Valid — no explicit scope exclusions
+- **No severity section**: Use default MAJOR/MINOR/NIT definitions
+- **Model preference set but budget insufficient**: Ignore preference, log warning
+- **Persona file in pattern repo**: Fetch like other pattern files
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit tests
+- `persona_test.go`: Parse valid/invalid YAML, validate required fields
+- `prompt_test.go`: Verify persona prompt assembly
+- Integration with budget: persona prompts count toward token limit
+
+### Integration tests
+- End-to-end with `--persona security` (built-in)
+- End-to-end with `--persona-file custom.yaml`
+- Backwards compatibility: no flags = generic behavior
+
+### Manual verification
+- Run security persona on a PR with obvious vulnerability
+- Verify security persona ignores style issues
+- Verify non-security persona doesn't flag security issues
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Persona types and loading
+- [ ] `review/persona.go`: Persona struct + YAML parsing
+- [ ] `review/persona_test.go`: Unit tests
+- [ ] Embed built-in personas in binary
+- [ ] Compiles clean, tests pass
+
+### Phase 2: Prompt generation
+- [ ] `review/prompt.go`: `BuildPersonaPrompt(p Persona) string`
+- [ ] Modify `BuildSystemBase()` to accept optional persona
+- [ ] Integrate persona prompt with budget system
+- [ ] Tests for prompt assembly
+
+### Phase 3: CLI integration
+- [ ] Add `--persona` and `--persona-file` flags
+- [ ] Flag validation (mutually exclusive, valid names)
+- [ ] Load persona based on flags
+- [ ] Pass persona to prompt builder
+
+### Phase 4: Action integration
+- [ ] Add `persona` and `persona-file` inputs to action.yml
+- [ ] Update README with persona examples
+- [ ] End-to-end CI test
+
+### Phase 5: Built-in personas
+- [ ] `security.yaml` built-in
+- [ ] `architect.yaml` built-in
+- [ ] `docs.yaml` built-in
+- [ ] Document each persona's focus
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Persona file location in repo**: Should we support `--persona-file .review/security.yaml` where the file is fetched from the PR's repo (like conventions)? This adds complexity but enables project-specific personas without action changes.
+
+2. **Model preference enforcement**: If persona specifies `model_preference: opus` but the action uses a different model, should we warn? Override? Ignore? Current thinking: log warning, use the specified model (user controls model via action input).
+
+3. **Severity override output**: If persona defines custom severity levels (CRITICAL), should the JSON output include them, or map back to standard MAJOR/MINOR/NIT? Current thinking: keep standard output format, use severity calibration only for prompt guidance.

+
+1. Persona struct matches YAML schema exactly?
+2. Built-in personas embedded in binary (not external files)?
+3. `--persona` and `--persona-file` are mutually exclusive?
+4. Unknown persona name produces clear error with valid options?
+5. Empty persona file fields have sensible defaults?
+6. Persona prompt integrates with budget system (token counting)?
+7. Backwards compatibility: no flags = current behavior?
+8. Review header shows persona display name?
+9. Sentinel still uses reviewer-name (not persona name)?
+10. Unit tests cover parse errors, missing fields, valid YAML?
+
+## Design Review Findings (Self-Review)
+
+### Finding 1: Severity Mapping
+The persona YAML allows `critical` severity, but the LLM output parser (`review/parser.go`) only accepts MAJOR/MINOR/NIT. 
+
+**Resolution:** Keep standard output format. Persona severity section is ONLY for calibrating the LLM's judgment (prompt guidance). Output must still use MAJOR/MINOR/NIT. Document this clearly in persona format docs.
+
+### Finding 2: Embedding Built-in Personas
+Go doesn't natively embed YAML. Must use `//go:embed` directive (Go 1.16+).
+
+**Resolution:** Create `review/personas/` directory with YAML files and use:
+```go
+//go:embed personas/*.yaml
+var embeddedPersonas embed.FS
+```
+
+### Finding 3: display_name vs reviewer-name
+Design says header shows "persona display name" but sentinel uses "reviewer-name". This is correct - they serve different purposes:
+- `display_name` → human-readable header ("Security Specialist Review")
+- `reviewer-name` → machine sentinel for cleanup (`<!-- review-bot:security -->`)
+
+When persona is used, `display_name` takes precedence for the header title, but `reviewer-name` (CLI flag) is still used for the sentinel.
+
+## Design Revision: YAML with gopkg.in/yaml.v3
+
+**Decision:** Add `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` as a dependency.
+
+YAML is preferred over JSON for persona files because:
+- Multi-line strings are cleaner (no escaping quotes in identity/focus text)
+- Comments are supported for documentation
+- More human-readable for complex persona definitions
+
+The implementation supports both YAML (`.yaml`, `.yml`) and JSON (`.json`) for backwards compatibility, with YAML as the default for built-in personas.

+# Review Update Strategy
+
+review-bot uses an **edit-in-place** strategy for updating reviews. Reviews are never deleted — this preserves conversation threads on inline comments.
+
+## State Transition Diagram
+
+```mermaid
+stateDiagram-v2
+    [*] --> NoExistingReview: First run
+
+    NoExistingReview --> POST_Review: Generate findings + event
+    POST_Review --> PostEscalationCheck: event == APPROVED?
+
+    PostEscalationCheck --> Done: No sibling blocks
+    PostEscalationCheck --> Supersede_And_Repost: Sibling has REQUEST_CHANGES
+    Supersede_And_Repost --> Done: Posted as REQUEST_CHANGES
+
+    [*] --> ExistingReviewFound: Subsequent run (sentinel match)
+
+    ExistingReviewFound --> CheckEscalation: Determine final event
+    CheckEscalation --> CompareState: Apply worst-wins if needed
+
+    CompareState --> SameState: existing.state == new event
+    CompareState --> StateChange: existing.state != new event
+
+    SameState --> Skip: Body unchanged
+    SameState --> PatchBody: Body changed → PATCH in place
+
+    StateChange --> Escalate: APPROVED → REQUEST_CHANGES
+    StateChange --> Downgrade: REQUEST_CHANGES → APPROVED
+
+    Escalate --> Supersede: PATCH old body → "Superseded"
+    Supersede --> POST_New_RC: POST new REQUEST_CHANGES
+
+    Downgrade --> POST_New_Approve: POST new APPROVED (old stays intact)
+
+    Skip --> Done
+    PatchBody --> Done
+    POST_New_RC --> Done
+    POST_New_Approve --> Done
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+| Scenario | Action | Reason |
+|----------|--------|--------|
+| No existing review | POST new | First run |
+| Same state, same body | Skip | Nothing changed — preserve threads |
+| Same state, body changed | PATCH body | Update findings without losing threads |
+| APPROVED → REQUEST_CHANGES | Supersede old + POST new | Can always escalate; old APPROVED is no longer valid |
+| REQUEST_CHANGES → APPROVED | POST new APPROVED | Can't edit state; old REQUEST_CHANGES stays as historical record |
+| Sibling has REQUEST_CHANGES (worst-wins) | Escalate to REQUEST_CHANGES | PR must stay blocked if ANY reviewer blocks |
+
+## Key Constraints
+
+1. **Review state is immutable after POST** — Gitea has no API to change APPROVED ↔ REQUEST_CHANGES
+2. **Never delete reviews** — Deleting cascades to inline comments and reply threads
+3. **"Last review per user" wins** — Gitea uses the most recent review from a user for merge decisions
+4. **REQUEST_CHANGES reviews are never touched** — Their inline comments and threads are preserved as historical record
+5. **APPROVED reviews can be superseded** — When escalation is needed, mark old as superseded and POST new
+
+## Worst-Wins (Shared Token)
+
+When multiple reviewer roles share a token (e.g., `sonnet` and `security` both use `sonnet-review-bot`):
+
+```
+CI Matrix Run:
+  sonnet  → REQUEST_CHANGES (findings)
+  security → APPROVED (no security issues)
+                ↓
+  security sees sibling REQUEST_CHANGES
+                ↓
+  security escalates → REQUEST_CHANGES
+                ↓
+  PR stays blocked ✓
+```
+
+The **first-run case** (no existing review to read login from) uses a post-posting fallback:
+POST APPROVED → check siblings → if blocked, supersede own APPROVED → re-POST as REQUEST_CHANGES.
+
+## Edit Mechanism
+
+Reviews are edited via `PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/comments/{id}`:
+
+- **Review body**: ID obtained from the timeline API (`/issues/{index}/timeline`, type `"review"`)
+- **Inline comments**: IDs obtained from `/pulls/{index}/reviews/{id}/comments`
+- **Both are editable** by the token that created them
+- **ListReviews always returns the original body** (reads from review table, not comment table) — sentinel matching works regardless of edits
+
+## Inline Comments Lifecycle
+
+| Event | Inline comments behavior |
+|-------|--------------------------|
+| First POST | Created on specific diff lines |
+| PATCH body (same state) | Unchanged — still current findings |
+| Supersede (state change) | Old inline comments stay (readable but on outdated code) |
+| New POST after supersede | Fresh inline comments on current diff |
