fix(#150): add EvalSymlinks to validateDocmapPath — close dir-symlink bypass

The previous implementation called os.Lstat(absPath) which only avoids
following the *final* path component. A PR committing .review-bot/ as a
directory symlink pointing outside the repo would pass the filepath.Rel
confinement check because the textual path was inside the root while
the resolved destination was not.

Fix: call filepath.EvalSymlinks after filepath.Abs to resolve ALL symlink
components before the confinement check. If EvalSymlinks fails (dangling
symlink, nonexistent target) the path is rejected. The filepath.Rel check
then operates on the fully-resolved path.

Semantic change: file-level in-repo symlinks (target also within root) are
now allowed — the invariant is about where the content lives, not whether
the entry is a symlink. The test TestValidateDocmapPath_Symlink is updated
to test an out-of-repo symlink target, which must still be rejected.

Tests:
- TestValidateDocmapPath_DirSymlinkBypass: reproduces the attack vector
  (dir symlink bypassing textual confinement check) and verifies it is
  now rejected
- TestValidateDocmapPath_Symlink: updated to test out-of-repo symlink

+# CHANGELOG
+
+## Unreleased
+
+### Security
+
+- **`validateDocmapPath`: add `EvalSymlinks` to close directory-symlink bypass** ([#150](https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/issues/150)): The previous implementation used `os.Lstat` which only avoids following the *final* path component. An intermediate directory symlink (e.g. `.review-bot/` committed as a symlink to a directory outside the repo) would pass the path-confinement check because the textual path appeared within the repo root. `filepath.EvalSymlinks` is now called first, resolving all symlink components before the `filepath.Rel` confinement check. In-repo symlinks whose resolved targets also reside within the repo root are now allowed; out-of-repo targets are rejected by the confinement check.
+
+### Tests
+
+- **`TestValidateDocmapPath_DirSymlinkBypass`**: verifies that a directory symlink inside the repo pointing outside cannot be used to bypass path confinement ([#150](https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/issues/150)).
+
+### Added
+
+- **`doc-map` input** (`--doc-map` flag / `DOC_MAP_FILE` env var): Path to a YAML file mapping source path globs to governing design docs. review-bot intersects the map with changed PR paths and injects matching docs into the system prompt under a `## Design Documents` heading. ([#137](https://gitea.weiker.me/rodin/review-bot/issues/137))
+- **`doc-map-max-bytes` input** (`--doc-map-max-bytes` flag / `DOC_MAP_MAX_BYTES` env var): Cap on total injected design doc content in bytes. Default: 102400 (100 KB). Prevents accidental context overflow when a PR touches many modules.
+- **`DesignDocs` budget section**: Design docs are included in the context budget and trimmed after conventions, before file context, if the total exceeds the model's context limit.
+
+### Doc-map config format
+
+```yaml
+mappings:
+  - paths:
+      - "lib/gargoyle/engine/signal_risk/**"
+    docs:
+      - docs/domain/contexts/risk/risk-controls.md
+  - paths:
+      - "lib/gargoyle/trading/**"
+    docs:
+      - docs/domain/contexts/trading/
+```
+
+- `paths` — glob patterns (including `**`) matched against changed file paths in the PR
+- `docs` — local file paths or directories (all `.md` files under a directory) to inject
+- Multiple mappings can reference the same doc; docs are deduplicated
+- Missing doc files: warn and skip (review continues without them)
+- No matching paths: no docs injected, review runs normally
+- Absolute paths and path traversal (`..` segments) in doc paths are rejected
+
+### Security
+
+- **Path traversal guard**: doc paths from the YAML config are validated to reject absolute paths and `..` segments before VCS API calls
+- **Prompt injection guard**: design doc content is injected with an explicit instruction to treat it as reference data and not follow any instructions it may contain
+
+## v0.3.2
+
+- Previous releases tracked in Gitea release notes.

+# Dev-Loop Skill: review-bot
+
+This file documents the dev-loop architecture for the `review-bot` project.
+It lives in the repo so changes are version-controlled alongside the code.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Dispatch is a **pure shell script** — no model reasoning.
+
+```
+Cron (agentTurn, toolsAllow: [exec, sessions_spawn, read])
+  → runs dispatch script
+  → reads output for SPAWN or HANDOFF lines
+  → spawns worker if instructed
+
+Dispatch script  (~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/dev-loop-dispatch.sh)
+  → pure bash, all decisions are curl API calls + branches
+  → exits after emitting one SPAWN line (at most one worker per run)
+  → emits HANDOFF for each qualifying PR (does not exit after HANDOFF)
+
+Workers (Opus, spawned by cron model)
+  → receive precise task description
+  → do one job: self-review, fix CI, address feedback, or implement
+  → remove wip label when done, reply NO_REPLY
+```
+
+The cron model's **only** job: run script, read output, spawn worker if told to.
+The model **never** assesses project state or makes dispatch decisions.
+
+## Safety Invariants
+
+1. **NEVER MERGE** — no merge API call exists anywhere in the script or worker templates
+2. **REQUEST_CHANGES always blocks** — checked first, before CI, before self-review, before handoff
+3. **WIP mutex** — one active worker per repo; WIP label gates new issue pickup
+4. **One SPAWN per run** — script emits at most one SPAWN line per execution
+5. **set -euo pipefail** — any curl failure aborts immediately, no partial actions
+6. **Workers reply NO_REPLY** — no dispatch-level side effects (workers may push changes and manage labels as part of their task)
+
+## Dispatch Rules (in order)
+
+| Rule | Condition | Action |
+|------|-----------|--------|
+| 0 | WIP label > 1hr old | Remove stale WIP, continue |
+| 0b | WIP label ≤ 1hr old | Mark ACTIVE_WIP=1, continue (only gates Rule 10) |
+| _(1)_ | _(reserved — intentionally unused)_ | — |
+| 2 | Any reviewer has REQUEST_CHANGES | SPAWN:findings |
+| 3 | PR not mergeable | SPAWN:rebase |
+| 4 | CI failure, no fix plan | SPAWN:ci-fix |
+| 4b | CI failure, fix plan exists | Skip (worker in progress) |
+| 5 | Bot review missing | Wait |
+| 6 | CI pending/unknown | Wait |
+| 7 | No clean self-review, no fix plan | SPAWN:self-review |
+| 7b | Self-review needs attention, no fix plan | SPAWN:sr-fix |
+| 8 | Unacknowledged bot review findings | SPAWN:address-feedback |
+| 9 | Unresolved inline diff comments | SPAWN:address-feedback |
+| 10 | All checks pass | HANDOFF |
+| 11 | No open PRs + no ACTIVE_WIP | SPAWN:impl (next issue) |

+(a single file from the reviewed repo). There is no mechanism to inject local repo documentation
+files scoped to the paths changed in a PR.
+
+First consumer: `grgl/gargoyle#778` needs a "doc adherence" reviewer that checks code against the
+module's governing design doc, without injecting every doc in the tree.
+
+## Approach
+
+### New: `doc-map` input
+
+A `.review-bot/doc-map.yml` config file in the reviewed repo maps source path globs to governing
+design docs. review-bot reads the map, intersects it with changed PR paths, and injects only the
+relevant docs into the system prompt.
+
+### Config format
+
+```yaml
+mappings:
+  - paths:
+      - "lib/gargoyle/engine/signal_risk/**"
+    docs:
+      - docs/domain/contexts/risk/risk-controls.md
+  - paths:
+      - "lib/gargoyle/trading/**"
+    docs:
+      - docs/domain/contexts/trading/
+```
+
+- `paths` — glob patterns (including `**`) matched against changed file paths in the PR
+- `docs` — file paths or directory paths (all `.md` files under a directory) to inject
+- Docs are deduplicated across mappings
+
+### Architecture
+
+| Component | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `review/docmap.go` | YAML parsing, glob matching with `**` support, doc loading via VCS |
+| `cmd/review-bot/main.go` | Step 6c: parses config, intersects with changed files, calls LoadMatchingDocs |
+| `budget/budget.go` | New `DesignDocs` section — injected after Conventions in system prompt |
+| `action.yml` | `doc-map` and `doc-map-max-bytes` inputs, wired to `DOC_MAP_FILE`/`DOC_MAP_MAX_BYTES` |
+
+### Doc file loading
+
+- The `doc-map` YAML file is read from the local workspace (like `system-prompt-file`).
+- Doc files listed in the config are fetched via VCS API (same as `conventions-file`),
+  enabling them to be loaded from any branch without a local checkout.
+- `GetAllFilesInPath` is tried first; if it returns files, they are treated as a directory listing.
+  If it returns empty, `GetFileContent` is tried as a fallback (single file).
+
+### Glob matching
+
+`**` is implemented by splitting patterns and paths on `/`, then matching segment-by-segment.
+A `**` segment consumes zero or more path segments (not just one level like `*`).
+
+### Budget integration
+
+`DesignDocs` is added to `budget.Sections` between `Conventions` and `FileContext`.
+Trim order: Patterns → Conventions → DesignDocs → FileContext → Diff.
+Design docs appear in the system prompt under `## Design Documents`.
+
+### Context size guard
+
+Default: 100 KB. Configurable via `--doc-map-max-bytes` / `DOC_MAP_MAX_BYTES`.
+Truncation is noted inline with a `⚠️` message.
+
+## Error handling
+
+| Situation | Behavior |
+|-----------|----------|
+| `--doc-map` file not found | Fatal error (like `--system-prompt-file`) |
+| `--doc-map` file invalid YAML | Fatal error with descriptive message |
+| Unknown YAML keys | Log warning, continue |
+| Doc file not found in VCS | Log warning, skip |
+| Doc directory empty or no `.md` files | Log debug, skip |
+| Total size exceeds limit | Truncate with notice, log warning |
+| No changed paths match any mapping | No docs injected, review runs normally |
+| `paths` or `docs` list empty in a mapping | Skip that mapping |

+# Dev-Loop Dispatch Spec
+
+**Version:** 1.0
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Implements:** Issue #148
+
+This document is the authoritative spec for the review-bot dev-loop dispatch architecture.
+The dispatch script (`~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/dev-loop-dispatch.sh`) and its tests
+are validated against the rules and invariants in this document.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+The dev-loop is a 15-minute cron that advances the state of open pull requests and picks up
+new issues when there is nothing in review. It is designed for **zero human intervention**
+in the normal flow and **hard stops at key safety boundaries**.
+
+### Architecture
+
+```
+Cron (15-min cadence)
+  → exec: bash dev-loop-dispatch.sh <project>
+  → read stdout for SPAWN/HANDOFF lines
+  → if SPAWN: load worker template, spawn subagent
+  → if HANDOFF: log, do nothing else
+  → if neither: NO_REPLY
+```
+
+The cron model has **no ambient knowledge** of the project state. All state is derived
+from the dispatch script's output, which in turn comes from live API calls.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Inputs
+
+### Project Config
+
+```yaml
+# memory/projects/<project>.yaml
+repo: rodin/review-bot         # <owner>/<repo>
+api_base: https://gitea.../v1  # API base URL
+token_path: ~/.openclaw/...    # path to bearer token
+user: rodin                    # bot Gitea username
+labels:
+  wip: <id>
+  ready: <id>
+review_bots:                   # sentinel names in review bodies
+  - sonnet
+  - gpt
+  - security
+```
+
+### Script Arguments
+
+```bash
+bash dev-loop-dispatch.sh <project>   # normal run
+DRY_RUN=1 bash dev-loop-dispatch.sh <project>   # dry-run (no mutations)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. State
+
+The dispatch script is **stateless per run**. All state lives in the Gitea API:
+
+| State | API location |
+|-------|-------------|
+| Open PRs | `GET /repos/:repo/pulls?state=open` |
+| PR labels | `GET /repos/:repo/issues/:n/labels` |
+| PR reviews | `GET /repos/:repo/pulls/:n/reviews` |
+| CI status | `GET /repos/:repo/commits/:sha/status` |
+| Issue comments | `GET /repos/:repo/issues/:n/comments` |
+| Inline diff comments | `GET /repos/:repo/pulls/:n/comments` |
+| Issue timeline | `GET /repos/:repo/issues/:n/timeline` |
+
+No file-based state. No cron-to-cron carry-over.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Output Protocol
+
+The script emits structured lines to stdout. Stderr is diagnostic logging.
+
+### `SPAWN:<type>:<number>:<sha>`
+
+A worker is needed. The cron model reads this and spawns a subagent using the
+template at `worker-tasks/<type>.md`.
+
+| Field | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `type` | Worker type: `self-review`, `ci-fix`, `address-feedback`, `findings`, `rebase`, `impl` |
+| `number` | PR number (or issue number for `impl`) |
+| `sha` | HEAD SHA of the PR (empty for `impl`) |
+
+At most **one SPAWN** is emitted per script run.
+
+### `HANDOFF:<pr_num>`
+
+All checks passed for `pr_num`. The script applied the `ready` label and assigned
+to the human reviewer. The cron model logs this and takes no further action.
+
+Multiple HANDOFFs may be emitted in one run (one per qualifying PR).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Dispatch Rules
+
+Rules are evaluated **in order** for each open PR. The first matching condition wins.
+Only one SPAWN is emitted per full pass.
+
+### Rule 0: WIP Cleanup
+
+For each open PR with a `wip` label:
+
+1. Find the timestamp when the label was most recently applied (via timeline events)
+2. If age > 1hr: **remove the label** (stale lock — worker likely crashed)
+3. If age ≤ 1hr: **set ACTIVE_WIP=1** (do not exit, only gates Rule 10)
+
+### Rule 2: REQUEST_CHANGES Blocks
+
+**ALWAYS evaluated before any other per-PR rule.**
+
+For each reviewer, take their **latest** review state. If any reviewer's latest
+state is `REQUEST_CHANGES`:
+
+→ Acquire WIP label on this PR
+→ Emit `SPAWN:findings:<pr_num>:<head_sha>`
+→ Continue to next PR (but only one SPAWN total)
+
+This rule cannot be bypassed by any condition. There is no waiver mechanism.
+
+### Rule 3: Merge Conflicts
+
+If `mergeable == false`:
+
+→ Acquire WIP
+→ Emit `SPAWN:rebase:<pr_num>:<head_sha>`
+
+### Rule 4: CI Failure
+
+If CI state is `failure` or `error`:
+
+- If a fix plan comment exists for this HEAD SHA: **skip** (worker in progress)
+- Otherwise:
+
+→ Acquire WIP
+→ Emit `SPAWN:ci-fix:<pr_num>:<head_sha>`
+
+### Rule 5: Bot Reviews Missing
+
+For each configured `review_bot`, check whether a review body contains the
+sentinel `<!-- review-bot:<name> -->`.
+
+If any sentinel is missing: **wait** (continue to next PR, no SPAWN).
+
+### Rule 6: CI Pending/Unknown
+
+If CI state is `pending` or `unknown`: **wait**.
+
+### Rule 7: Self-Review
+
+Check for a self-review comment from the bot user against the current HEAD SHA:
+- Comment contains `Self-review against <head_sha>`
+
+Sub-cases:
+- **Missing**: No self-review comment →
+  → Acquire WIP, emit `SPAWN:self-review:<pr_num>:<head_sha>`
+- **Needs attention** (`Assessment: ⚠️`): Found, but has findings:
+  - Fix plan exists for HEAD SHA: skip
+  - No fix plan: → Acquire WIP, emit `SPAWN:sr-fix:<pr_num>:<head_sha>`
+- **Clean** (`Assessment: ✅ Clean`): Continue to Rule 8
+
+### Rule 8: Unacknowledged Bot Review Findings
+
+For each **current** (contains `Evaluated against <head_short>`) APPROVED bot review
+that has a findings table:
+
+A finding is **unacknowledged** if it does not appear as `Finding #N` in a fix plan
+comment from the bot user for this HEAD SHA.
+
+If any unacknowledged findings exist:
+- Fix plan exists: skip
+- No fix plan: → Acquire WIP, emit `SPAWN:address-feedback:<pr_num>:<head_sha>`
+
+### Rule 9: Unresolved Inline Diff Comments
+
+An inline diff comment is **unresolved** if:
+1. `in_reply_to_id` is null (top-level comment)
+2. `resolver` is null (not formally resolved)
+3. No other comment has `in_reply_to_id` pointing to this comment (no reply)
+
+If unresolved comments exist:
+- Fix plan exists: skip
+- No fix plan: → Acquire WIP, emit `SPAWN:address-feedback:<pr_num>:<head_sha>`
+
+### Rule 10: Handoff
+
+All rules above passed. Verify all bot reviews are current (contain `Evaluated against <head_short>`).
+
+If all current:
+- Apply `ready` label
+- Assign to `aweiker`
+- Emit `HANDOFF:<pr_num>`
+- Continue evaluating remaining PRs (do NOT exit)
+
+If already assigned to `aweiker`: skip (assume handoff was already performed; continue to next PR without emitting another HANDOFF).
+
+### Rule 11: New Issue Pickup
+
+Only runs if: no open PRs exist AND `ACTIVE_WIP == 0`.
+
+Fetch open, unassigned issues. Priority: bugs first, then by number ascending.
+
+Claim the issue (assign to bot user to prevent double-pick), then:
+→ Emit `SPAWN:impl:<issue_num>:`
+
+---
+
+## 6. Safety Invariants
+
+These are statically checked by `~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/test/check-invariants.sh` and enforced in all changes:
+
+| ID | Invariant |
+|----|-----------|
+| S1 | Zero merge API calls in dispatch script (`/merge` does not appear) |
+| S2 | REQUEST_CHANGES check (Rule 2) appears before CI check (Rule 4) |
+| S3 | REQUEST_CHANGES check (Rule 2) appears before ready label application (Rule 10) |
+| S4 | No model/AI API references in dispatch script |
+| S5 | `set -euo pipefail` present |
+| S6 | Active WIP does not cause early exit (only sets ACTIVE_WIP flag) |
+| S7 | SPAWN:impl guarded by `ACTIVE_WIP == 0` check |
+| S8 | No merge calls in any worker template |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Error Handling
+
+| Error | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| `curl` returns error | `set -euo pipefail` aborts script — no partial actions |
+| `jq` parse error | Script aborts |
+| Worker crashes | WIP label left on PR; stale WIP cleanup (Rule 0) removes it after 1hr |
+| Race: two crons fire | WIP mutex prevents double-dispatch for same PR |
+| `sessions_spawn` fails | Worker not spawned; WIP label orphaned → cleaned in 1hr |
+| Config file missing | Exit code 2 with error message |
+
+---
+
+## 8. Worker Templates
+
+Each worker receives a precise task description with substituted values:
+
+| Template | Trigger | Key job |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| `self-review.md` | No clean self-review | Post self-review comment, remove WIP |
+| `sr-fix.md` | Self-review needs attention | Address self-review findings, push, remove WIP |
+| `ci-fix.md` | CI failing | Diagnose, fix, push, remove WIP |
+| `address-feedback.md` | Unacknowledged findings or inline comments | Address feedback, push, remove WIP |
+| `findings.md` | REQUEST_CHANGES present | Address REQUEST_CHANGES, push, remove WIP |
+| `rebase.md` | Merge conflicts | Rebase on main, push, remove WIP |
+| `impl.md` | New issue | Implement feature/fix, open PR |
+
+Workers **always** remove the WIP label on completion and reply `NO_REPLY`.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Fixes for Issues #144 and #145
+
+**Issue #144** (autonomous merge):
+The dispatch script contains no merge API calls anywhere. The `~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/test/check-invariants.sh`
+invariant `S1` verifies this. Workers do not receive merge instructions.
+
+**Issue #145** (merged despite REQUEST_CHANGES):
+Rule 2 is the **first** rule evaluated per PR. It cannot be skipped, reasoned past,
+or bypassed. It is checked before CI, before self-review, before handoff. The check
+uses latest-per-reviewer state, so a reviewer who re-approved after REQUEST_CHANGES
+is correctly handled.
