+candidate precision and recall before each rollout promotion.

-The included rule detects Go HTTP input that reaches SQL query text. The
-adapter invokes the OSS `semgrep-core` binary directly so core parser and rule
-skips remain visible. It snapshots regular changed files beneath
-`--repository-root` and emits findings only when their source range intersects
-an added diff line. Plan evaluation remains indeterminate because Semgrep
-requires source files.
+The `reviewer` credential can ingest evidence, infer candidates, run replays,
+tune thresholds, and advance eligible non-protected policies. Block, pause, and
+rollback require an authenticated human operator.

-The Rules catalog includes learned candidates beside authored rules. Review
-findings are ingested with a typed claim kind, source identity, confidence, and
-cost metadata. Fixes, resolutions, reactions, merges, reverts, regressions, and
-agent adjudications are recorded as separate durable evidence. Room can then
-infer candidates, replay them over the stored corpus, tune their confidence
-threshold, and advance them through draft, shadow, warn, and block stages.
-All blocking policies require an authenticated human operator and explicit
-approval; pause and rollback remain human-only emergency controls.
-Review automation should use the least-privilege `reviewer` credential. It can

-policies, but it cannot directly edit or publish arbitrary rulesets, change MCP
