+# Pull requests
+
+Land every change through a pull request. Immediately after creating one,
+comment `@bot` to request an AI-bot review. Wait for green CI and the bot's
+approval on the current head before merging. Never merge without the user's
+explicit permission.

+install the externally distributed Claude Code and Codex command-line tools; do
