+# CodeRabbit threads: every review thread CodeRabbit opens gets an answer
+# before a gate ask (Sam, 2026-10-24, #2605). An answer is a reply inside the
+# thread, or a PR comment that quotes the thread's `discussion_r<id>` link
+# (seats reply that way when they cannot reply in-thread). A review body
+# never counts, because a HOLD cites the unanswered link. Resolved and
+# outdated threads don't count. Fork PRs are skipped entirely.
+#
+# Reported as the commit status `coderabbit-threads` on the PR head, not as
+# this workflow's own check: a run started by a comment attaches to the
+# default branch and would never show on the PR. NOT a required check. It
+# never checks out PR code, so the write token on comment events only reaches
+# the statuses API.
