-name: Gemini Review
-
-# Calls the multi-agent Code Review Council on every open PR to
-# develop/main, posts a real PR review, and records the verdict on a
-# `gemini-review` check_run so branch protection has something to gate
-# on. The check name stays `gemini-review` for branch-protection
-# compatibility, even though the council can route to either
-# OpenRouter or Gemini under the hood.
-#
-# Provider routing (handled by .github/scripts/gemini_review.py):
-#   - `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` set → OpenRouter (multi-model gateway —
-#     deepseek/Claude/GPT/etc., switchable via `OPENROUTER_MODEL` var).
-#   - Otherwise → Gemini (free-tier fallback).
-#
-# Replaces the previous Copilot-based gate (see commit history /
-# .github/workflows/copilot-review-required.yml). Picked because:
-#   - GitHub Copilot Code Review quota was exhausted.
-#   - OpenRouter unlocks models that catch bug classes Gemini misses
-#     (per Speecher's own gate experience) and lets us rotate models
-#     without redeploying the workflow.
-#   - Posting an *actual* review (not just a check_run) gives the
-#     dashboard inline comments instead of a black-box pass/fail.
-#
-# Setup required (one-time, see .github/scripts/gemini_review.py
-# docstring for the full list):
-#   1. Add `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` to repo secrets (preferred) and/or
-#      `GEMINI_API_KEY` (fallback).
-#      Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret.
-#      OpenRouter keys: https://openrouter.ai/keys
-#      Gemini keys: https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
-#   2. Update branch protection on `develop` (and `main`): swap the
-#      required check `copilot-review` → `gemini-review`. The old
-#      copilot-review-required.yml workflow has been removed in the
-#      same PR that introduced this one.
-#
-# Notes:
-#   - We trigger only on `pull_request` events (no cron). Each push to
-#     a PR re-runs the workflow with the latest SHA — branch protection
-#     re-evaluates the check automatically.
-#   - We do NOT review PRs opened by bots (dependabot, renovate, etc.)
-#     — auto-pass them, same convention the prior workflow used.
-#   - Forks: PRs from forks get a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN, so posting
-#     reviews/checks fails with 403. The workflow handles that
-#     gracefully (the review step exits non-zero, the workflow's job
-#     conclusion fails, branch protection blocks the merge — which is
-#     the desired outcome for unmaintained-fork PRs anyway).
