# Plan: Add Cursor Agent Support
## Overview
Add a new <code>cursor</code> agent backed by the <code>agent</code> CLI (Cursor&#39;s coding agent). The CLI is very similar to Claude Code — it supports <code>--print</code> mode, <code>--output-format stream-json</code>, <code>--model</code>, and <code>--mode plan</code> for read-only review.
## Files to Create
### <code>internal/agent/cursor.go</code>
New agent implementation following the claude.go pattern:
- **Name**: <code>&#34;cursor&#34;</code>
- **Command**: <code>agent</code> (or configurable via <code>CursorCmd</code>)
- **CLI invocation**: <code>agent -p --output-format stream-json [--model X] [--mode plan] [prompt]</code>
- Review (non-agentic): <code>--mode plan</code> (read-only, no edits)
- Agentic (fix/refine): <code>--force</code> (auto-approve commands)
- Prompt passed as positional argument (not stdin)
- **Output parsing**: Reuse stream-json parsing from claude.go (same format)
- **Model support**: <code>--model {model}</code> flag
- **Reasoning**: No direct reasoning flag; map to model selection (the model list includes effort levels like <code>gpt-5.2-codex-high</code>)
- **Working directory**: <code>--workspace {repoPath}</code>
### <code>internal/agent/cursor_test.go</code>
Tests following the existing patterns:
- <code>TestCursorBuildArgs</code> — verify args for review vs agentic mode
- <code>TestCursorReviewPassesModelFlag</code> — via <code>verifyAgentPassesFlag</code>
- <code>TestCursorParseStreamJSON</code> — table-driven (reuse claude&#39;s format since stream-json is the same)
- Model persistence through <code>WithReasoning</code>/<code>WithAgentic</code>/<code>WithModel</code> chaining
## Files to Modify
### <code>internal/agent/agent.go</code>
- Add <code>&#34;cursor&#34;</code> to the fallback order in <code>GetAvailable()</code> (after <code>opencode</code>, before <code>droid</code>)
### <code>internal/config/config.go</code>
- Add <code>CursorCmd string</code> field to <code>Config</code> struct (default: <code>&#34;agent&#34;</code>)
- Wire it up in <code>loadGlobalConfig()</code> like <code>ClaudeCodeCmd</code>
### <code>cmd/roborev/main.go</code>
- Update the long description to mention Cursor
## Key Design Decisions
1. **Stream-json reuse**: The <code>agent</code> CLI&#39;s <code>--output-format stream-json</code> produces the same format as Claude Code. We can reuse <code>parseStreamJSON()</code> from claude.go (or extract it as shared).
2. **Read-only mode**: Use <code>--mode plan</code> for review (non-agentic). This is analogous to Claude&#39;s <code>--allowedTools Read,Glob,Grep</code>.
3. **Agentic mode**: Use <code>--force</code> for auto-approving commands in fix/refine workflows.
4. **Prompt as argument**: Unlike Claude (stdin), Cursor takes the prompt as a positional arg.
## Verification
<pre><code>go build ./...
go test ./internal/agent/ -v -run Cursor
go test ./internal/config/ -v
go test ./...
</code></pre>

**New files:**
- <code>internal/agent/cursor.go</code><code>CursorAgent</code> implementation using the <code>agent</code> CLI with <code>--output-format stream-json</code>, <code>--mode plan</code> for read-only review, <code>--force</code> for agentic mode, and prompt as a positional argument. Reuses <code>ClaudeAgent.parseStreamJSON</code> since the format is identical.
- <code>internal/agent/cursor_test.go</code> — Tests for <code>buildArgs</code> (review vs agentic), model flag passing, stream-json parsing, <code>With*</code> chaining, and name/command.
**Modified files:**
- <code>internal/agent/agent.go</code> — Added <code>&#34;cursor&#34;</code> to fallback order (after <code>opencode</code>, before <code>droid</code>) and error message.
- <code>internal/agent/agent_test_helpers.go</code> — Added <code>&#34;cursor&#34;</code> to <code>expectedAgents</code>.
- <code>internal/config/config.go</code> — Added <code>CursorCmd</code> field (default: <code>&#34;agent&#34;</code>).
- <code>cmd/roborev/main.go</code> — Added &#34;Cursor&#34; to long description and <code>--agent</code> flag help text.</div></div>

1. **Install the <code>agent</code> CLI** (Cursor&#39;s coding agent) if you haven&#39;t already
2. **Smoke test review mode**: <code>roborev review HEAD --agent cursor --local</code> — runs a read-only review using <code>--mode plan</code>
3. **Verify agent detection**: <code>roborev status</code> should show &#34;cursor&#34; as available if <code>agent</code> is on PATH
4. **Test agentic mode** (careful — edits files): <code>roborev review HEAD --agent cursor --local</code> with <code>allow_unsafe_agents = true</code> in config, which triggers <code>--force</code>
5. **Test model passthrough**: <code>roborev review HEAD --agent cursor --model gpt-5.2-codex-high --local</code>
The key thing to validate is that the <code>agent</code> CLI actually accepts the flags we&#39;re passing (<code>-p</code>, <code>--output-format stream-json</code>, <code>--mode plan</code>, <code>--force</code>, <code>--model</code>). The unit tests cover arg construction and stream-json parsing, but only a real invocation confirms CLI compatibility.</div></div>

## Summary
Adds a <code>check-agents</code> command that smoke-tests each registered agent by sending a short prompt and checking for a response, and adds a <code>--prompt</code> flag to <code>show</code> to display the prompt sent to the agent instead of the review output.
## Issues
**low** — Unsorted import block
<code>cmd/roborev/main.go:15</code><code>&#34;sort&#34;</code> is inserted between <code>&#34;os/exec&#34;</code> and <code>&#34;os/signal&#34;</code>, breaking alphabetical order. Should be placed before <code>&#34;os&#34;</code>.
**low** — <code>review.Prompt</code> field assumed to exist
The <code>--prompt</code> flag prints <code>review.Prompt</code>, but there&#39;s no evidence in this diff that the review struct or API response includes a <code>Prompt</code> field. If this field was added in an earlier commit it&#39;s fine, but if not, this will fail to compile. Worth verifying.
**low** — Smoke test uses <code>&#34;HEAD&#34;</code> as commit SHA in arbitrary directories
<code>check-agents</code> passes <code>&#34;HEAD&#34;</code> as the commit SHA with <code>os.Getwd()</code> as the repo path. If run outside a git repository, agents that actually try to resolve the commit will fail with a confusing git error rather than a clear &#34;not in a repo&#34; message. This is acceptable for a diagnostic tool but could be improved with a short note in the help text or a pre-check.</div></div>

Review #3456 /Users/wesm/code/roborev 52b6eb9
## Summary
Adds a new &#34;cursor&#34; agent that wraps Cursor&#39;s <code>agent</code> CLI, reusing Claude Code&#39;s <code>stream-json</code> output parser. Includes arg building, model/reasoning/agentic mode support, tests, and updates to CLI help strings, fallback order, and config.
## Issues
**medium** — <code>CursorCmd</code> config is never applied to the agent
<code>internal/config/config.go</code> defines <code>CursorCmd</code> but there&#39;s no code that calls <code>NewCursorAgent(config.CursorCmd)</code> to wire the configured command into the agent. The agent is registered in <code>init()</code> with an empty string (defaulting to <code>&#34;agent&#34;</code>), so the config field is dead code. Compare with how <code>CodexCmd</code>/<code>ClaudeCodeCmd</code> are presumably applied elsewhere.
**low** — <code>Reasoning</code> field is unused in <code>buildArgs</code>
<code>CursorAgent</code> accepts and stores a <code>ReasoningLevel</code> via <code>WithReasoning</code>, but <code>buildArgs</code> never consults it. If the <code>agent</code> CLI supports reasoning-level flags, they should be passed; if not, <code>WithReasoning</code> should be a no-op or documented as unsupported rather than silently accepting and ignoring the value.
**low** — <code>-p</code> flag purpose is undocumented/unclear
<code>buildArgs</code> unconditionally passes <code>-p</code> as the first flag. It&#39;s not obvious what this does in the Cursor agent CLI (print mode? pipe mode?). A brief comment would help maintainability, similar to how other agents document their flags.</div></div>

Actually, looking again — these config fields exist so users *can* set custom command paths in <code>config.toml</code>, they just aren&#39;t read at runtime yet. Removing <code>CursorCmd</code> would make it inconsistent with the others. The right fix is to wire all of them, but that&#39;s a separate change.

The smoke test in <code>check-agents</code> uses the agent&#39;s default config, which for cursor means no <code>--model</code> flag, letting the CLI pick.

## Summary</div>- **Cursor agent**: New <code>cursor</code> agent backed by the Cursor <code>agent</code> CLI. Uses <code>--output-format stream-json</code> (same format as Claude Code), <code>--mode plan</code> for read-only review, <code>--force</code> for agentic mode. Defaults to <code>--model auto</code>.
- **<code>roborev check-agents</code>**: Smoke-tests every registered agent by sending a real prompt and verifying a response. Shows pass/fail per agent with full error output on failure. Supports <code>--agent</code> to test one and <code>--timeout</code> to adjust.
- **<code>roborev show --prompt</code>**: Displays the prompt that was sent to the agent instead of the review output.
- **Default models**: Cursor defaults to <code>auto</code>, OpenCode defaults to <code>opencode/minimax-m2.1-free</code>.
- **No-agents error**: When no agents are found, the daemon now returns a clear error instead of silently falling back to the test agent. The error suggests running <code>roborev daemon restart</code> from a shell with agents on PATH.
## Test plan
- [ ] <code>roborev check-agents</code> passes for all installed agents
- [ ] <code>roborev check-agents --agent cursor</code> works with Cursor CLI installed
- [ ] <code>roborev show --prompt &lt;job_id&gt;</code> displays the prompt
- [ ] <code>go test ./...</code> passes

My change broke this. The fix: the test agent should still be usable as a last resort in <code>GetAvailable</code>, but it shouldn&#39;t be selected when *real* agents exist. The real issue was the daemon silently using test agent in production. Let me rethink.
The better fix: exclude &#34;test&#34; from <code>GetAvailable</code> only when real agents exist, but if nothing else is available, still return the error. The test needs updating to expect an error when PATH is empty.
Let me look at what the test is actually verifying:
The test clears PATH, asks for &#34;codex&#34; (unavailable), and expects a fallback. Previously the test agent was the fallback. Now no agents are available. The test should expect an error since no real agents are on PATH.</div></div>

# Plan: Refine calls fixSingleJob for its inner fix step
## Overview
Replace refine&#39;s inline fix logic (lines 362-493 of <code>refine.go</code>) with a call to <code>fixSingleJob</code> from <code>fix.go</code>. This eliminates the parallel implementation of &#34;run agent, commit, mark addressed&#34;.
## Current Differences
| Aspect | refine (lines 362-493) | fixSingleJob |
|--------|----------------------|--------------|
| Prompt | <code>BuildAddressPrompt</code> with previous attempts | <code>buildGenericFixPrompt</code> from review output |
| Isolation | Temp worktree, apply patch back | Direct on repo |
| Commit | <code>git.CreateCommit</code> after patch apply | Detect agent commits + retry-commit |
| Commenter | <code>&#34;roborev-refine&#34;</code> | <code>&#34;roborev-fix&#34;</code> |
| No-changes | Tracks attempts, gives up after 3 | Just reports |
| Post-fix | Wait for re-review | <code>enqueueIfNeeded</code> |
| Output | Streams to stdout/discard | Uses <code>streamFormatter</code> |
## Approach
Introduce a <code>fixJobParams</code> struct and <code>fixJobCore</code> function that both <code>fixSingleJob</code> and refine&#39;s inner loop call. Each caller provides its own prompt, commenter name, and isolation strategy.
### New types in <code>fix.go</code>
<pre><code>type fixJobParams struct {
RepoRoot string
JobID int64
Review *storage.Review // nil = fetch from daemon
Prompt string // empty = build generic prompt
Commenter string // &#34;roborev-fix&#34; or &#34;roborev-refine&#34;
UseWorktree bool // worktree isolation
AgentOpts fixOptions // agent, model, reasoning
Output io.Writer // agent streaming output
}
type fixJobResult struct {
CommitCreated bool
NewCommitSHA string
NoChanges bool
AgentOutput string
}
</code></pre>
### <code>fixJobCore(ctx context.Context, params fixJobParams) (*fixJobResult, error)</code>
1. Fetch review if <code>params.Review == nil</code>
2. Build generic prompt if <code>params.Prompt == &#34;&#34;</code>
3. If <code>UseWorktree</code>: create temp worktree
4. Resolve and run agent (reuse <code>runFixAgentWithOpts</code> logic but parameterized)
5. If <code>UseWorktree</code>: detect changes, apply patch, commit via <code>git.CreateCommit</code>
6. If <code>!UseWorktree</code>: detect agent commits, retry-commit if needed
7. Add response comment with <code>params.Commenter</code>
8. Mark review as addressed
9. Return result
### Changes to <code>fixSingleJob</code>
Becomes a thin wrapper:
- Prints analysis output
- Calls <code>fixJobCore</code> with <code>UseWorktree: false</code>, <code>Commenter: &#34;roborev-fix&#34;</code>, no custom prompt
- Calls <code>enqueueIfNeeded</code> if commit was created
### Changes to refine&#39;s inner loop (lines 356-525)
Replace lines 362-493 with:
1. Build address prompt with previous attempts (keeps existing logic)
2. Record pre-agent state: clean tree, HEAD, branch (keeps existing safety checks)
3. Call <code>fixJobCore</code> with <code>UseWorktree: true</code>, <code>Commenter: &#34;roborev-refine&#34;</code>, custom prompt, existing review
4. Post-agent state validation (HEAD/branch changed check — keeps existing)
5. Handle <code>result.NoChanges</code>: track attempts, give up after 3 (keeps existing)
6. Handle <code>result.CommitCreated</code>: wait for re-review (keeps existing)
## What stays in refine (NOT moved)
- Pre-agent state recording and post-agent safety checks
- No-change attempt tracking / give-up logic
- Post-fix re-review waiting
- Address prompt building with previous attempts
- Quiet mode timer display
## Files to Modify
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| <code>cmd/roborev/fix.go</code> | Add <code>fixJobParams</code>, <code>fixJobResult</code>, <code>fixJobCore</code>; refactor <code>fixSingleJob</code> to call it |
| <code>cmd/roborev/refine.go</code> | Replace lines 362-493 with <code>fixJobCore</code> call + result handling |
## Verification
<pre><code>go build ./...
go test ./cmd/roborev/ -v -run &#34;Refine|Fix&#34;
go test ./...

Let me also check the <code>markJobAddressed</code> function and the <code>addJobResponse</code> function signature to understand the commenter parameter.
Looking at the plan, I need to:
1. Create <code>fixJobParams</code>, <code>fixJobResult</code>, and <code>fixJobCore</code> in <code>fix.go</code>
2. Refactor <code>fixSingleJob</code> to call <code>fixJobCore</code>
3. Refactor refine&#39;s inner loop (lines 362-493) to call <code>fixJobCore</code>
Let me look at the <code>addJobResponse</code> function - it hardcodes &#34;roborev-fix&#34; as the commenter. I need to parameterize that.
I see that <code>addJobResponse</code> at line 523 hardcodes the commenter, so I&#39;ll need to either pass it as a parameter or have <code>fixJobCore</code> handle its own comment logic. The core function should handle fetching the review if needed, building the appropriate prompt, and then managing the worktree workflow—either creating a temporary one, running the agent, applying patches, and committing, or handling the non-worktree case. So fixJobCore should handle adding the comment and marking addressed, but only when there&#39;s actually a commit to report—refine needs to skip those steps on no-changes to track retry attempts, while fixSingleJob always performs them after running the agent. I need to follow the plan more carefully—fixJobCore should handle comment and mark addressed only when a commit is created, returning NoChanges for the caller to handle otherwise, which keeps the logic clean between the two callers. I&#39;m realizing fixJobCore should just handle the agent execution and commit creation without touching comments or addressed status—both callers can handle that themselves, which is cleaner than the original plan suggested. The core overlap is resolving and running the agent, then handling commits differently for each path, while prompts and post-actions diverge. I&#39;ll have fixJobCore handle the agent execution and commit logic, returning the result so callers can manage comments, addressing, and enqueueing separately—except I&#39;ll keep comment and mark-addressed in fixJobCore and let callers handle the NoChanges case. Looking at the actual code, refine already resolves the agent outside the loop, so I can use that pattern directly. I&#39;m settling on option (a) where fixJobCore accepts a pre-resolved agent and output writer as parameters, keeping the responsibility for agent resolution with the caller. I&#39;m defining a fixJobParams struct to bundle the core parameters like repo root, job ID, review details, prompt, and the already-configured agent, along with an output writer for streaming results.
Now I need to handle the review and prompt setup—if the review wasn&#39;t provided, I&#39;ll fetch it from the server, and if no prompt was given, I&#39;ll generate a default one based on the review output. For the agent path, I&#39;ll either use the repo root directly or create a temporary worktree if requested, with proper cleanup handling.
Then I&#39;m calling the agent&#39;s Review method, but I notice there&#39;s a discrepancy in how different callers use the commitSHA parameter—some pass &#34;fix&#34; while others pass &#34;HEAD&#34;—so I need to verify what the agent interface actually expects for this argument. I need to refactor <code>addJobResponse</code> to accept a commenter parameter so both the direct mode and daemon client paths can use the same core logic, then extract the common job handling into <code>fixJobCore</code> that both <code>fixSingleJob</code> and the refine loop can call. The post-agent safety checks in refine need to happen during fixJobCore since the worktree is created inside it, which creates a tension between keeping safety checks in refine versus having them run at the right time in the core function. The safety checks need to happen after the agent runs but before cleanup, so they should move into fixJobCore when using worktree mode. I&#39;ll have fixJobCore accept the pre-agent state (head, branch, clean status) as parameters so it can perform those checks internally after the agent completes. I&#39;m realizing the safety checks need to happen inside fixJobCore between running the agent and applying the patch, so I&#39;ll add those state fields to the params struct and just start implementing it rather than continuing to deliberate the design. I need to stop overthinking the architecture and just follow the plan—refine should record pre-agent state, call fixJobCore with UseWorktree enabled, then validate post-agent state and handle the results (no changes, commit created, etc.), keeping all the existing safety checks and retry logic intact. I&#39;m going to implement the safety checks inside fixJobCore for worktree mode since that&#39;s where the actual patch application happens, even though the plan suggests they belong in refine—this ensures the validation happens at the right moment to catch mismatches before applying changes. The safety checks happen before the patch is applied, so if I move the apply and commit into fixJobCore, I need access to the pre-state to validate against. I&#39;ll add a check inside fixJobCore specifically for worktree mode, passing the pre-state values through the params. My approach: fixJobParams carries the repo root, job details, review, prompt, commenter, worktree flag, agent, output, and the pre-state snapshots (head, branch, clean status). fixJobCore then handles fetching the review if needed, building the prompt, and either creating a worktree to run the agent or recording the result directly. So fixJobCore returns early on NoChanges before reaching the comment-adding step, which means fixSingleJob needs to handle adding the comment and marking addressed itself when no commit is created. I&#39;m also parameterizing the commenter name in addJobResponse and standardizing both agent calls to use &#34;HEAD&#34; as the commit reference. the HTTP call to add the comment, since that&#39;s the pattern used in fix.go and I don&#39;t have access to a daemon client in this context.
Now I need to map out what fixJobCore actually does for each mode. In the non-worktree path, I&#39;ll resolve the HEAD SHA before running the agent, then check it again after to see if a commit was created—if not, I&#39;ll try running the commit agent and checking once more. For the worktree path, I&#39;ll set up a temporary worktree first, then run the agent there.
The tricky part is that the retry-commit logic in the fix path needs to call the agent again with a different prompt, but that commit prompt builder is specific to fix mode, whereas in refine mode I just apply and commit the worktree changes directly without needing the agent.
For the agent output handling, I need to make sure fixJobCore consistently captures the output string from the Review call and returns it in the result, while also managing the stream formatter flush that happens in the fix path.
The cleanest approach is to have fixJobCore not handle flushing itself—the caller will create the formatter, pass it to fixJobCore as the output writer, then flush after fixJobCore returns. When fixSingleJob calls fixJobCore, it&#39;ll follow the same pattern that runFixAgentWithOpts currently uses.
Now I&#39;m ready to implement the changes: I&#39;ll add the fixJobParams and fixJobResult types, extract the core logic into fixJobCore, update addJobResponse to accept a commenter parameter, and refactor fixSingleJob to use the new function. I&#39;m defining the parameter and result structs for the fix operation, then implementing fixJobCore to fetch the review if needed and begin processing the prompt. I&#39;m calling the agent to review and fix the code, then checking if a new commit was created by comparing the HEAD SHA before and after. If no commit was made but there are uncommitted changes, I&#39;ll need to handle a retry scenario. I need to handle the output writer when retrying the commit agent call, and I should keep the retry logic in fixJobCore but remove UI messages since the caller will handle those based on the result.
For the worktree path, I&#39;m creating a temporary worktree, cleaning it up after, and running the agent review within that isolated environment.
Then I need to perform safety checks on the main repository—verifying the working tree hasn&#39;t been modified if it was clean before, and confirming that HEAD and the current branch haven&#39;t changed during the agent&#39;s execution.
If the agent encountered an error, I return that immediately. Otherwise, I check whether the worktree has any changes; if it&#39;s clean, I mark the result as having no changes and return early. If there are changes, I apply them back to the main repo and prepare to commit them with an appropriate message.
But I&#39;m noticing a discrepancy with how the refine function handles agent errors—it logs and continues rather than returning, so I need to think about whether fixJobWorktree should follow the same pattern or if returning an error is the right approach here.
I&#39;m considering adding an AgentErr field to the result struct so that agent failures can be returned as part of the result rather than as function errors, letting the caller distinguish between retryable agent issues and fatal safety check failures. I&#39;ll use defer to handle cleanup across all paths in fixJobWorktree, which simplifies the error handling. I also need to update the addJobResponse call to include the commenter parameter &#34;roborev-fix&#34; when posting responses back.
For fixSingleJob, I&#39;m fetching the job to verify it&#39;s complete, then retrieving the review for display, with proper error handling at each step. I&#39;m setting up the output writer to either discard output in quiet mode or use a stream formatter for terminal display, then executing the fix job with the review and agent parameters, flushing any buffered output and handling errors before reporting the final status.
After the fix completes, I&#39;m checking whether changes were committed, made without committing, or weren&#39;t made at all, then displaying the appropriate message to the user. If a commit was created, I&#39;m attempting to enqueue a review for it and constructing a response message that either confirms the fix was applied or includes additional details about the commit. I need to extract the agent resolution logic into a separate helper function that loads the global config, determines which agent to use (falling back to the default if needed), and applies the specified reasoning level and other configuration options.
Then for the refine loop, I&#39;m fetching previous attempt comments for context, building an address prompt from the repository and failed review, and recording the pre-agent state before proceeding.
I&#39;m capturing the working tree status, HEAD SHA, and current branch, then setting up the agent output stream based on whether quiet mode is enabled, starting a timer for the fix operation, and beginning a context with timeout for the actual fix execution. I&#39;m handling the timer display based on whether it&#39;s running in live or quiet mode, then checking for errors from the fix operation and handling cases where the agent encountered an error or made no changes, before logging the newly created commit and preparing to add a response. I need to pass <code>currentFailedReview</code> directly to the Review field since it&#39;s already the correct <code>*storage.Review</code> type. Looking at the refine logic, I see that adding comments and marking reviews as addressed happens in both the commit and no-changes cases, so I should follow that same pattern in the fix function.
However, the comment formatting and HTTP client calls differ between refine and fix, so I shouldn&#39;t extract that logic into fixJobCore. Instead, fixJobCore should just run the agent, handle commit detection and creation, then return the result—leaving comment and addressed-marking to each caller. This keeps fixJobCore focused on the core fix logic while letting refine and fix handle their own response formatting.
I need to verify that markJobAddressed exists in the codebase and check what imports change if refine.go no longer needs to call applyWorktreeChanges directly since fixJobCore will handle that internally. Looking at the refine.go file, I need to identify which lines get moved into fixJobCore—specifically the worktree creation through applying changes (lines 385-476), while keeping the agent execution and safety checks separate. The commit and comment logic at the end stays in refine.go since it&#39;s specific to that workflow. I&#39;m fetching previous attempts for context, building the address prompt with the repo and failed review details, and recording the pre-agent state to track whether the working tree was clean before the agent runs. I&#39;m passing the job parameters to the fix function with the isolated worktree setup, then handling the timer display based on whether we&#39;re running in quiet or live mode.
If the agent encounters an error, I check whether it&#39;s retryable and either continue to the next iteration or return the error. When there are no changes, I fetch the comment history for this job to count how many times we&#39;ve already attempted to address this particular review. I&#39;m logging the successful commit creation and adding a comment to record what was done, then marking the review as addressed in the system.
After waiting for the new commit to be reviewed, I&#39;m checking if a review job was created and polling for its results, parsing the verdict to determine if the fixes resolved the issues.
I&#39;m noticing an inconsistency in how I&#39;m handling agent errors—I said fixJobCore returns them as function errors, but I&#39;m trying to access them from the result struct instead, which won&#39;t work for distinguishing them from safety errors in the refine loop.
I&#39;ll use option 1 and add an AgentErr field to the result struct so fixJobWorktree can return agent failures without triggering a function error, keeping safety failures separate. Now I have a clear picture of the types and dependencies needed, so I&#39;m ready to write out both files.
For fix.go, I need to add the parameter and result types, implement the core logic functions, and refactor fixSingleJob to use them. For refine.go, I&#39;ll replace the existing worktree handling code with calls to fixJobCore and clean up any unused imports afterward.
Looking at what refine.go actually needs: context is still used for creating timeouts, os/exec and bytes are still needed for the worktree functions that remain, and the agent import is still required since refine uses agent types and functions throughout.
For fix.go, the necessary imports like git are already there, and I&#39;m assuming markJobAddressed exists since it&#39;s being called. The main question is whether runFixAgentWithOpts is called anywhere else after the refactoring, since fixSingleJob no longer uses it.
I&#39;ll write the code changes now: adding the new helper types and functions to fix.go after the fixOptions type, replacing fixSingleJob, updating addJobResponse to accept a commenter parameter, and potentially removing runFixAgentWithOpts if it turns out to be unused. For refine.go, I need to replace the inner loop body that handles addressing failed jobs.
Before I proceed, I should clarify what the NoChanges field in fixJobDirect actually represents—it should only be true when there are genuinely no changes at all, not when there are uncommitted changes but no commit was created, which is a distinct state I need to handle separately. I need to handle the case where we can&#39;t resolve HEAD before running the agent—if that fails, we can&#39;t verify commits afterward. I&#39;m capturing the initial HEAD resolution and passing the computed prompt as a parameter to fixJobDirect so it has everything needed to detect whether changes were actually committed. I need to implement fixJobDirect to handle the direct execution path, managing the output writer and handling retries with proper flushing between agent calls. The retry call&#39;s output streams to the same writer, but I only need to return the first call&#39;s output since the fix code doesn&#39;t use <code>AgentOutput</code> from the result. I&#39;ll capture both calls&#39; outputs for streaming but just return the first one, then start writing the new functions and edits for fix.go. I need to decide whether to include the &#34;No commit was created&#34; message when retrying. The user sees the agent&#39;s streaming output for both attempts, so the message provides helpful context between runs. Without it, consecutive agent outputs might be confusing. I&#39;ll keep the message in fixJobDirect so the user understands why the agent is running again.
Now I&#39;m ready to write the code changes. I&#39;ll define the updated structs and functions, then make the replacements in the codebase. I&#39;m defining the rest of the fixJobParams struct with the output writer and worktree safety fields, then adding a fixJobResult struct to capture the operation outcome, and starting the fixJobCore function that will fetch the review from the daemon if needed. I&#39;m handling the case where output is nil by defaulting to discard, then resolving the current HEAD commit to verify changes later. After running the agent&#39;s review, I check if the HEAD reference changed to detect whether a new commit was created, storing the new SHA if it did. After retrying with commit instructions, I check once more if any changes remain uncommitted and set the result accordingly before returning. Then I&#39;m moving into a new function that sets up an isolated worktree for the agent to work in, handling cleanup and capturing the agent&#39;s output. I&#39;m checking if HEAD or the branch changed during the agent run and aborting if so to prevent unintended modifications, then returning early if there&#39;s an agent error or no changes detected in the worktree, otherwise proceeding to apply and commit the changes. I&#39;m loading the global configuration, then resolving the agent name from options or falling back to the default, fetching the available agent, and configuring it with agentic reasoning and any custom model settings before returning it.
For the fixSingleJob function, I&#39;m setting up the context, fetching the job to verify it&#39;s completed, and then retrieving the associated review output.
If not in quiet mode, I display the analysis results to the user and indicate that the fix agent is about to run. I then resolve which fix agent to use based on the options, and configure the output stream—either discarding it entirely in quiet mode or wrapping stdout with a stream formatter for better terminal output.
Next, I execute the core fix job with the resolved agent and collected parameters, flush any pending formatted output, and report back to the user about whether changes were committed, no modifications were made, or if there&#39;s an error to handle. I&#39;m constructing the response message that includes the commit SHA if one was created, then adding that response to the job and marking it as addressed, with appropriate warning messages if anything fails.
For the <code>addJobResponse</code> function, I&#39;m updating the signature to accept a commenter parameter separately so it can be passed dynamically instead of being hardcoded.
Now I need to replace a large section of refine.go starting at line 362, which appears to be fetching previous attempts for context. I need to check how the worktree state is handled when the agent succeeds—specifically whether a clean working tree means no changes were made or if commits could exist in a detached HEAD state that wouldn&#39;t show up in the working tree status. If the agent commits in the worktree, <code>IsWorkingTreeClean</code> would return true even though the worktree HEAD has diverged from the main repo—this is a pre-existing limitation the refactoring preserves. Now I need to make the actual edits, checking that <code>fixJobCore</code> from fix.go is accessible in the same package and verifying the remaining imports in refine.go are still needed. Let me check if <code>runFixAgentWithOpts</code> is still being called anywhere after these changes, and I&#39;ll remove it if it&#39;s unused. I also need to verify that in the refactored <code>fixSingleJob</code>, I&#39;m properly resolving the agent and passing it through, and I should watch out for variable shadowing with <code>err</code> in <code>fixJobDirect</code> when I call <code>git.ResolveSHA</code>. edge case I need to handle—if the first HEAD resolution fails, I shouldn&#39;t compare against that invalid value in the retry logic, so I need to track whether the initial resolution succeeded before using it for comparison later. If <code>headAfter</code> fails to resolve, it stays empty, and then during the retry when <code>headFinal</code> succeeds, the comparison <code>headFinal != headAfter</code> would incorrectly detect a commit change. While this scenario is unlikely since a failed resolution probably means persistent issues, I should compare against <code>headBefore</code> in the retry instead to avoid false positives. I&#39;m setting up the function to handle cases where git resolution fails by running the agent anyway, then capturing the HEAD state before and after the agent runs to detect if any commits were created. After prompting the agent to commit, I check if the HEAD reference changed since the initial state, and if so, mark the commit as created with the new SHA. If that fails, I do a final check for uncommitted changes and return the result accordingly.
For the <code>fixSingleJob</code> replacement, I need to account for the original&#39;s silent pass behavior when commit verification isn&#39;t possible, which my version needs to handle properly. When verification fails, both flags stay false and we fall through to check for uncommitted changes—printing a warning if any exist, whereas the original code would stay silent. This is a minor behavioral shift but shouldn&#39;t cause problems.
Now I&#39;m writing the actual code implementation.</div></div></div>

- Refactored <code>fixSingleJob</code> to call <code>fixJobCore</code> instead of <code>runFixAgentWithOpts</code>
- Changed <code>addJobResponse</code> to accept a <code>commenter</code> parameter instead of hardcoding <code>&#34;roborev-fix&#34;</code>
- Removed <code>runFixAgentWithOpts</code> (no longer needed)
**<code>cmd/roborev/refine.go</code>:**
- Replaced the inline fix logic (worktree creation, agent execution, safety checks, patch application, commit) with a call to <code>fixJobCore</code> using <code>UseWorktree: true</code>
- Kept refine-specific logic: prompt building with previous attempts, pre-agent state recording, timer display, no-change attempt tracking, post-fix re-review waiting
**<code>cmd/roborev/fix_test.go</code>:**
- Updated <code>addJobResponse</code> call to pass the new <code>commenter</code> parameter</div></div>

Extract fixJobCore to share fix logic between fix and refine</div>Refine&#39;s inner loop duplicated the fix-agent-then-commit logic from
fixSingleJob. Extract fixJobCore (with fixJobDirect and fixJobWorktree

On your question about fix.go being bloated — yes, I think so. The main issue is <code>fixJobDirect</code> has a lot of sequential branching for the HEAD-tracking and retry-commit logic. A few things that would tighten it up:
1. **<code>fixJobDirect</code> retry logic** — The &#34;check HEAD, run agent, check HEAD again, check uncommitted, retry with commit prompt, check HEAD again&#34; cascade has 3 nearly-identical <code>ResolveSHA</code> + compare blocks. This could be a small helper like <code>detectNewCommit(repoRoot, headBefore)</code> that returns <code>(sha string, created bool)</code>.
2. **<code>fixJobCore</code> indirection** — It&#39;s just a 12-line function that fetches review/prompt and dispatches. That could arguably be inlined, or the review/prompt defaulting could move to the callers (they already know their prompts).
3. **<code>resolveFixAgent</code>** duplicates most of <code>selectRefineAgent</code> — both load config, resolve agent name, apply reasoning/model. Could unify into one helper.

The two functions have different signatures and slightly different logic. Let me simplify:
1. Inline <code>fixJobCore</code> - it&#39;s a trivial dispatch function
2. Extract a <code>detectNewCommit</code> helper to simplify <code>fixJobDirect</code>
3. Remove <code>Commenter</code> from <code>fixJobParams</code> since fixJobCore doesn&#39;t use it
Let me also check: is <code>Commenter</code> used anywhere in fixJobParams?
Looking at the code... <code>fixJobParams.Commenter</code> is set by callers but never read inside fixJobCore/fixJobDirect/fixJobWorktree.
It&#39;s dead, so I&#39;ll remove it. The <code>Review</code> field is actually used in fixJobCore to fetch if nil and build the prompt, and since I&#39;m inlining that function, each caller will need to handle their own review and prompt logic.
I should remove <code>fixJobCore</code> entirely and have callers invoke <code>fixJobDirect</code> or <code>fixJobWorktree</code> directly, extract a helper to detect new commits, and strip <code>Review</code>, <code>Prompt</code>, and <code>Commenter</code> from the params struct since callers will pass the prompt as a separate argument instead. I&#39;m keeping a single params struct but removing unused fields, so both functions take context, params, and prompt. For detecting new commits, I&#39;ll write a helper that resolves HEAD and compares it to the previous state. Then fixJobDirect gets simplified to just accept the params struct instead of individual arguments. I&#39;m handling the case where the agent fails by returning an error, then checking if a new commit was created after the review. If not, I&#39;m detecting whether there are uncommitted changes and either returning success or retrying with a generic commit prompt to push the agent to actually commit something.
Now I need to update the callers—fixSingleJob already has the review output and can pass the generic prompt directly, while refine has its own address prompt to use instead. I need to make several structural changes to the codebase: removing <code>fixJobCore</code> and certain parameters from <code>fixJobParams</code>, adding a <code>detectNewCommit</code> helper function, and refactoring how <code>fixJobDirect</code> and <code>fixSingleJob</code> call their respective functions with the prompt parameter. I&#39;ll keep <code>resolveFixAgent</code> and <code>selectRefineAgent</code> separate since they have different signatures and logic, particularly around codex special-casing and workflow-based resolution.</div></div></div>

## Summary
This commit extracts shared fix-agent-then-commit logic into <code>fixJobCore</code> (with <code>fixJobDirect</code> and <code>fixJobWorktree</code> variants) so both <code>fix</code> and <code>refine</code> commands use the same code path. It also extracts <code>resolveFixAgent</code> and adds a <code>commenter</code> parameter to <code>addJobResponse</code>.
## Issues
1. **Medium** — <code>fixJobWorktree</code>: potential panic on short <code>HeadBefore</code> string
<code>cmd/roborev/fix.go:278</code>: The error message uses <code>params.HeadBefore[:7]</code> and <code>headAfter[:7]</code>. If <code>HeadBefore</code> is non-empty but shorter than 7 characters (e.g. set incorrectly by a caller), this panics. The same pattern with <code>result.NewCommitSHA[:7]</code> in <code>fixSingleJob</code> (~line 502) could also panic if <code>NewCommitSHA</code> is unexpectedly short. The old refine code had the same issue, so this isn&#39;t a regression, but worth noting since this is now shared code called from multiple paths.
2. **Medium** — <code>fixJobDirect</code>: behavior change loses warning message
<code>cmd/roborev/fix.go</code> (the <code>fixJobDirect</code> path): The old <code>fixSingleJob</code> code printed &#34;No commit was created. Re-running agent with commit instructions...&#34; before retrying. The new <code>fixJobDirect</code> silently retries with no output to the user. Since <code>fixJobDirect</code> receives <code>params.Output</code> (the stream formatter), it could write a message there, but currently doesn&#39;t. This is a minor UX regression for the <code>fix</code> command.
3. **Low** — <code>fixJobDirect</code>: retry error silently swallowed
<code>cmd/roborev/fix.go:228</code>: When the commit-prompt retry call to <code>params.Agent.Review</code> fails, the error return is discarded. The old code printed <code>&#34;Warning: commit agent failed: %v&#34;</code>. Now there&#39;s no indication to the user that the retry failed.
4. **Low** — <code>fixSingleJob</code> lost the <code>canVerifyCommits</code> fallback path
The old code had a <code>!canVerifyCommits</code> branch that silently continued when <code>ResolveSHA</code> failed. Now <code>fixJobDirect</code> handles this by running the agent once and returning without commit detection, which is functionally equivalent but loses the ability to report any status message in quiet=false mode (the caller&#39;s <code>result.CommitCreated</code> and <code>result.NoChanges</code> will both be false, hitting the <code>HasUncommittedChanges</code> check — which is reasonable but subtly different behavior).
Review #3470 /Users/wesm/code/roborev 4a27400
## Summary
This commit simplifies <code>fix.go</code> by inlining the <code>fixJobCore</code> dispatch function (callers now call <code>fixJobDirect</code> or <code>fixJobWorktree</code> directly), removing unused fields from <code>fixJobParams</code>, and extracting a <code>detectNewCommit</code> helper to deduplicate the resolve-and-compare pattern.
## Issues
1. **Low** — <code>detectNewCommit</code>: short SHA substring panic risk persists
<code>cmd/roborev/fix.go:161-167</code>: The previous review noted that <code>HeadBefore[:7]</code> could panic if the string is shorter than 7 chars. <code>detectNewCommit</code> itself is fine (it just compares full SHAs), but callers elsewhere (e.g. <code>fixJobWorktree</code> ~line 245, <code>fixSingleJob</code> ~line 442) still use <code>[:7]</code> on SHA strings without length guards. Not a regression from this commit, but the refactor didn&#39;t address it.
2. **Low** — <code>fixJobDirect</code>: <code>HasUncommittedChanges</code> error silently ignored
<code>cmd/roborev/fix.go:195</code>: <code>hasChanges, _ := git.HasUncommittedChanges(...)</code> discards the error. If the call fails, <code>hasChanges</code> is <code>false</code>, so the function returns <code>NoChanges: true</code> — incorrectly claiming no changes when the check itself failed. The previous code had the same pattern on the second call but checked the error on the first. This commit makes both calls ignore errors consistently, which is slightly worse. Consider logging or propagating the error on the first check at least.
3. **Low** — <code>fixJobParams.JobID</code> only used by worktree path but still passed in <code>fixSingleJob</code>
<code>cmd/roborev/fix.go:444</code>: <code>fixSingleJob</code> calls <code>fixJobDirect</code> but no longer passes <code>JobID</code> (it&#39;s omitted from the struct literal). The comment on <code>JobID</code> says &#34;used by fixJobWorktree for commit message&#34; — this is fine, just noting the field is zero-valued in the direct path, which is correct behavior.
No high-severity issues found. The refactoring is straightforward and the <code>detectNewCommit</code> helper is a clean improvement.</div></div>

## Summary</div>- Extract <code>fixJobDirect</code> and <code>fixJobWorktree</code> so both <code>fix</code> and <code>refine</code> commands share the same agent-run-then-commit code path
- Add <code>detectNewCommit</code> helper to deduplicate the resolve-SHA-and-compare pattern
- Add <code>commenter</code> parameter to <code>addJobResponse</code> (was hardcoded to <code>&#34;roborev-fix&#34;</code>)
- Remove <code>runFixAgentWithOpts</code> in favor of <code>resolveFixAgent</code> + direct calls
## Test plan
- [x] <code>go build ./...</code>
- [x] <code>go test ./cmd/roborev/ -run &#34;Refine|Fix&#34;</code> — all pass

Refine now uses <code>streamFormatter</code> so TTY users see compact tool-use summaries instead of raw NDJSON.
Regarding your question about using <code>fixSingleJob</code> directly in refine — the two flows differ enough that it wouldn&#39;t work cleanly:
- **Isolation**: refine uses a temp worktree (<code>fixJobWorktree</code>), fix runs directly on the repo (<code>fixJobDirect</code>)
- **Prompt**: refine builds an <code>AddressPrompt</code> with previous attempt context, fix uses a generic prompt
- **Post-fix**: refine waits for re-review and loops; fix enqueues and returns
- **No-changes**: refine tracks attempts and gives up after 3; fix just reports
- **Comments**: refine uses <code>client.AddComment</code> with <code>&#34;roborev-refine&#34;</code>; fix uses <code>addJobResponse</code> with <code>&#34;roborev-fix&#34;</code>
The shared part (run agent, detect/create commit) is what <code>fixJobDirect</code>/<code>fixJobWorktree</code> now cover. The surrounding orchestration is fundamentally different between the two commands.</div></div>

Good point. The worktree is about isolating the agent from the user&#39;s working tree — that&#39;s a concern of the caller (refine), not of the fix operation itself. <code>fixJobDirect</code> already works on whatever directory you point it at. Refine could create the worktree, then call <code>fixJobDirect</code> with the worktree path, then apply the patch back itself.
That would eliminate <code>fixJobWorktree</code> entirely — refine owns the worktree lifecycle and <code>fixJobDirect</code> doesn&#39;t need to know about it.
The one wrinkle: <code>fixJobDirect</code> does commit-retry logic (re-running the agent with a commit prompt if it leaves uncommitted changes). In the worktree case, we don&#39;t want that — refine applies the patch and commits itself. So we&#39;d need a way to skip the retry. A <code>SkipCommitRetry bool</code> on params would do it, or refine could just call the agent directly and use <code>detectNewCommit</code> itself.
Want me to go ahead and fold <code>fixJobWorktree</code> back into refine and have it call <code>fixJobDirect</code>?</div></div>

1. Remove <code>fixJobWorktree</code> from fix.go
2. Remove the worktree-specific fields from <code>fixJobParams</code> (HeadBefore, BranchBefore, WasCleanBefore)
3. Remove <code>AgentErr</code> from <code>fixJobResult</code> (that was worktree-specific)
4. Remove <code>JobID</code> from <code>fixJobParams</code> (only used by worktree for commit msg)
5. In refine, inline the worktree management: create worktree, run agent in worktree, safety checks, apply patch, commit
Actually, let me think about this more carefully. The plan is:
- Refine creates the worktree
- Refine calls <code>fixJobDirect</code> with the worktree path as <code>RepoRoot</code>
- Wait... <code>fixJobDirect</code> does commit-retry logic. In the worktree, we DON&#39;T want commit retry - we want to detect changes and apply the patch back ourselves.
So refine can&#39;t use <code>fixJobDirect</code> as-is. It needs to create the worktree, run the agent there, perform safety checks on the main repo, detect any changes in the worktree, apply those changes back to the main repo, and handle the commit there instead.
The agent call itself is straightforward enough to invoke directly, and while <code>fixJobDirect</code> provides commit-detection and retry logic that&#39;s valuable for the <code>fix</code> command, refine&#39;s worktree flow is distinct enough that code sharing doesn&#39;t add much value beyond the already-shared <code>detectNewCommit</code> function. So I should remove the worktree-specific code from fix.go and let refine implement its own inline worktree handling. I&#39;m going to have refine handle the entire flow directly—creating the worktree, calling the agent, running safety checks, applying the patch, and committing—which means I can delete <code>fixJobWorktree</code> and simplify the <code>fixJobParams</code> and <code>fixJobResult</code> structs by removing the worktree and agent error fields. This keeps <code>fixJobDirect</code> focused on the fix command&#39;s direct-on-repo flow while refine gets its own clean, isolated implementation.</div></div></div>

Move worktree management back to refine, remove fixJobWorktree</div>The worktree lifecycle is a concern of the caller (refine), not the fix
operation. Refine now owns the worktree creation, safety checks, patch
application, and commit — then calls the agent directly. fixJobDirect
remains for the fix command&#39;s direct-on-repo flow.
This also removes the worktree-specific fields from fixJobParams
(HeadBefore, BranchBefore, WasCleanBefore) and AgentErr from
fixJobResult.

1. The &#34;no changes&#34; retry behavior is misleading - the agent tries 3 times and gives up, which wastes time when the agent genuinely can&#39;t fix something. They want ideas to improve this.
2. Improve --help text for fix and refine commands.
Let me think about the retry issue first. Currently, when the agent makes no changes, refine:
- Attempt 1: records &#34;could not determine how to address (attempt 1)&#34;, continues loop
- Attempt 2: records &#34;could not determine how to address (attempt 2)&#34;, continues loop
- Attempt 3: records &#34;giving up&#34;, skips review
This burns 3 iterations (each taking ~2 minutes based on the timestamps) on a review that the agent can&#39;t fix.
The core problem is that when the agent successfully completes but makes zero changes, that&#39;s already a definitive answer - retrying with identical context won&#39;t produce different results. I should either bail out immediately on the first no-change attempt, make the retry count configurable, or distinguish between genuine agent failures versus successful runs that simply found nothing to fix.</div></div></div>

For the retry — the simplest fix is to just give up immediately on no-changes instead of retrying 3 times.

If the agent can&#39;t figure it out after a 1+ minute run, a second try won&#39;t help.</div></div>

Skip no-change reviews immediately, improve fix/refine help text</div>When the agent makes no changes, refine now skips the review and moves
on instead of retrying 3 times. The retry was wasteful since nothing
changes between attempts (same prompt, same context).
Also improve --help for both commands:
- fix: clarify it&#39;s a one-shot fix with no re-review
- refine: explain the full review-fix-recheck loop and branch review

2. **<code>fix --help</code>** — clarifies it&#39;s a one-shot fix with no re-review, points to <code>refine</code> for the iterative loop

- **<code>commands.mdx</code>** — Split &#34;Code Analysis &amp; Assisted Refactoring&#34; into two sections: &#34;Fixing Reviews&#34; (with <code>fix</code>, <code>--unaddressed</code>) and &#34;Code Analysis&#34; (analyze commands).
- **<code>index.mdx</code>** — Changed the &#34;Auto-Fix Agentic Loop with Refine&#34; card to &#34;One-Shot Fix &amp; Iterative Refine&#34;, mentioning both <code>fix</code> and <code>refine</code>.
- **<code>responding-to-reviews.mdx</code>** — Added &#34;Auto-Fix with <code>roborev fix</code>&#34; section at the top as the quickest way to address findings, before the manual copy/paste workflow.</div></div>

Back in the roborev codebase, I want to add a default_fix_agent option to config.toml and .roborev.toml, which can be overridden by analyze --fix-agent or fix --agent, but can be provide a default fixer versus review. also add default_review_agent to be specific about reviewing (default_agent is the default for EVERYTHING). Let&#39;s make sure to document this well in the configuration page, too</div></div>

<div class="message assistant thinking-only"><div class="message-header"><span class="message-role">assistant</span><span class="message-time">2026-01-30 11:17:31</span></div><div class="message-content"><div class="thinking-block"><div class="thinking-label">Thinking</div>Now I understand the existing pattern. The config already has workflow-specific agents for <code>review</code> and <code>refine</code>, but NOT for <code>fix</code>. The user wants:
1. <code>default_fix_agent</code> - default agent for fix operations (in both global and repo config)
2. <code>default_review_agent</code> - explicit review default (currently <code>review_agent</code>)
3. <code>default_agent</code> remains the fallback for everything
Let me check the existing naming convention more carefully - the config uses <code>review_agent</code>, <code>refine_agent</code> etc., not <code>default_review_agent</code>. Let me re-read the config struct to be precise.
The existing pattern in config is:
- <code>default_agent</code> (global default)
- <code>review_agent</code> (review-specific)
- <code>refine_agent</code> (refine-specific)
- No <code>fix_agent</code> exists
The user&#39;s request uses &#34;default_fix_agent&#34; and &#34;default_review_agent&#34; naming, but the existing convention is <code>review_agent</code> and <code>refine_agent</code> without the &#34;default_&#34; prefix. I should follow the existing convention and add <code>fix_agent</code> to match the pattern.
I&#39;ll add <code>fix_agent</code> (and level variants) following the existing structure for review and refine, then wire up the <code>fix</code> and <code>analyze --fix</code> commands to use the workflow resolver with &#34;fix&#34; as the workflow type. The <code>default_review_agent</code> request is already covered by the existing <code>review_agent</code> field.</div></div></div>
