+
+### Authentication Check
+
+Verify your credentials are working before starting a review:
+
+```bash
+# Verify which user the PAT authenticates as (should be the reviewer account)
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/user" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+```
+
+### Reading PR Information
+
+```bash
+# Get PR details (title, body, labels, milestone, base/head branches, mergeable status)
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# List open PRs (paginated)
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls?state=open&limit=10&page=1" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# Get PR commits
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/commits" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# Get PR changed files list (with additions/deletions counts per file)
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/files" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+```
+
+### Reading the Diff
+
+```bash
+# Get the full unified diff for a PR (returns raw diff text, not JSON)
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}.diff" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+```
+
+### Reading Issues
+
+```bash
+# Get issue details (title, body, labels, milestone, state)
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# Get issue comments
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}/comments" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+```
+
+### Reading Reviews
+
+```bash
+# Get all existing reviews on a PR
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+```
+
+### Reading CI Status
+
+```bash
+# Get combined commit status (overall CI state: pending/success/failure)
+# First get the head SHA from the PR details, then:
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{sha}/status" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# Get individual status checks (with descriptions and context names)
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/statuses/{sha}" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+```
+
+### Reading File Contents
+
+```bash
+# Get raw file content at a specific git ref (branch, tag, or commit SHA)
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}?ref={ref}" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+```
+
+### Writing: Post a Formal PR Review
+
+**This is the most important write operation.** You MUST post a formal review
+(not just a comment) because merge automation checks formal review state.
+
+```bash
+# Post a formal review — APPROVED
+curl -s -X POST "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "body": "## Code Review — PR #{pr_number}\n\n<your review body here>",
+    "event": "APPROVED"
+  }'
+
+# Post a formal review — REQUEST_CHANGES
+curl -s -X POST "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "body": "## Code Review — PR #{pr_number}\n\n<your review body with required changes>",
+    "event": "REQUEST_CHANGES"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected response:** HTTP 200 with a JSON body containing the review `id`, `state`, and `body`.
+If you receive HTTP 403 or 422, report the error — do not skip the review.
+
+### Writing: Post a Backup Issue Comment
+
+```bash
+# Post a backup comment on the PR (via the issues endpoint — PRs are issues in Forgejo)
+curl -s -X POST "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{pr_number}/comments" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"body": "<same review body as the formal review>"}'
+```
+
+**Expected response:** HTTP 201 with a JSON body containing the comment `id` and `body`.
+
+### Dismiss a Stale Review (if needed)
+
+```bash
+# Dismiss a previous review (e.g., if re-reviewing after changes)
+curl -s -X POST "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews/{review_id}/dismissals" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"message": "Dismissing stale review — re-reviewing after changes"}'
+```
+
+### Common Patterns
+
+**Full review workflow (copy-paste ready):**
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Get PR details
+PR_DATA=$(curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/cleveragents/cleveragents-core/pulls/{pr_number}" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT")
+echo "$PR_DATA" | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(f'PR #{d[\"number\"]}: {d[\"title\"]}\nState: {d[\"state\"]}\nMergeable: {d.get(\"mergeable\")}\nHead SHA: {d[\"head\"][\"sha\"]}')"
+
+# Step 2: Get the diff
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/cleveragents/cleveragents-core/pulls/{pr_number}.diff" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# Step 3: Get the linked issue
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/cleveragents/cleveragents-core/issues/{issue_number}" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# Step 4: Check CI status
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/cleveragents/cleveragents-core/commits/{head_sha}/status" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# Step 5: Check existing reviews
+curl -s "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/cleveragents/cleveragents-core/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT"
+
+# Step 6: Post formal review (replace body and event as appropriate)
+curl -s -X POST "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/cleveragents/cleveragents-core/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"body": "## Code Review — PR #...\n\n...", "event": "APPROVED"}'
+
+# Step 7: Post backup comment
+curl -s -X POST "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/cleveragents/cleveragents-core/issues/{pr_number}/comments" \
+  -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"body": "## Code Review — PR #...\n\n..."}'
+```
+
+### Tips for JSON in curl
+
+- Use single quotes around the `-d` body to avoid shell escaping issues
+- For multi-line review bodies, use `\n` for newlines inside the JSON string
+- Escape internal single quotes with `'\''` (end quote, escaped quote, start quote)
+- Alternatively, store the body in a variable and use `jq` to build the JSON:
+  ```bash
+  REVIEW_BODY="Your review text here with 'quotes' and \"double quotes\""
+  curl -s -X POST "https://git.cleverthis.com/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews" \
+    -H "Authorization: token $FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT" \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d "$(jq -n --arg body "$REVIEW_BODY" --arg event "APPROVED" '{body: $body, event: $event}')"
+  ```
+
