The reviewer-token needs specific Gitea scopes to function properly:

Required scopes:

  • write:issue - to post reviews
  • write:repository - to read PR diffs
  • read:user - to check if PR author matches reviewer (skip self-reviews)

Without read:user, the bot logs:

level=WARN msg="could not determine authenticated user for reviewer self-request" error="...required=[read:user], token scope=write:issue,write:repository..."

The README should document these required scopes so users know to set them when creating tokens.
