  • Rule-Centric & Default Quiet. YAML review guidelines with globs and severities; docs commit to high signal-to-noise and no style nags.
  • Continuous Learning. Code Review Memory captures reviewer feedback and distills per-repo knowledge shared across agents.
  • Sandbox Validation. Cosmos Verifier agent exercises changes in a running environment and reports evidence-backed findings.
