Local Branch Review (local-review)

The hosted commit-review lane (per-commit main reviews, GitHub Checks, and commit-finding dispatch) was retired in July 2026 after producing zero successful runs in its final month. What remains is the offline review engine in src/commit-sweeper.ts, used two ways:

  • pnpm local-review: a manual, offline pre-PR self-review of the current

    • branch.

  • clawsweeper review --local-range: the main sweeper reuses the same offline

    • envelope for committed-range reviews.

#Usage

pnpm run build
pnpm local-review -- --base main
# reviews merge-base(<base>, HEAD)..HEAD as one unit
# writes ~/.clawsweeper-local-reviews/run-<sha>-<ts>-<pid>/local-review.md

It is offline by contract and never contacts GitHub: it requires a clean checkout, uses a unique per-run output directory, withholds all GitHub token env vars, skips the gh-api commit-metadata hydration, points GH_CONFIG_DIR at an empty directory, disables Codex web search, and explicitly forbids network lookups. Repositories without a configured profile are rejected (no foreign-profile fallback). It never writes to GitHub — the local Markdown report is the only output.

  • src/commit-sweeper.ts: offline review engine and local-review CLI
  • prompts/review-commit.md: Codex review prompt
