 Inspect all review surfaces, including pagination and replies: REST `pulls/<N>/reviews`, `pulls/<N>/comments`, `issues/<N>/comments` under `repos/{owner}/{repo}`, and GraphQL `reviewThreads` with IDs, resolution state, bodies, authors, and timestamps.
 
+Never infer a reviewer's surface from its identity: Claude often posts its review as a PR conversation comment (`issues/<N>/comments`), while other agents usually post review threads. Check both surfaces every cycle. Treat a conversation comment that carries findings or a verdict as a review; it has no thread to resolve, so disposition it with one PR comment that quotes or links it.
+
 A `COMMENTED` review body can block with zero unresolved threads. Address outstanding concerns, `CHANGES_REQUESTED`, current inline findings, and unresolved threads. Empty acknowledgments are non-blocking. Assess older findings against the current head and later discussion; uncertain concerns block merging.

 ## Pull request reviews
 
+- Every review cycle, check both review threads (`pulls/<N>/reviews`, `pulls/<N>/comments`, GraphQL `reviewThreads`) and PR conversation comments (`issues/<N>/comments`). Reviewers differ: Claude often posts its review as a conversation comment, while other agents use review threads. A finding on either surface needs a disposition before merge.
 - Resolve each PR review thread, whether a human or a bot opened it, as soon as you have dispositioned it: the fix is pushed to the PR head and your reply names the commit, or your reply pushes back on the finding with evidence. Leave a thread open only while it has no disposition. If the reviewer replies after your disposition, unresolve the thread and handle the reply.
