Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Title check ❓ Inconclusive The title 'docs: see PR review guidelines' is somewhat vague and generic, using the directive 'see' without clearly conveying the specific change made to the documentation. Consider a more descriptive title like 'docs: add PR review guidelines for rejection vs comments' to clarify what guidance was added.

299-299: Minor: Clarify what "Code style is inconsistent" means in context.

"Code style is inconsistent" as an objective problem could be ambiguous if your team uses automated linting/formatting tools. If style violations are auto-fixable or auto-enforced, contributors might perceive this as an optional concern rather than a blocker.

Consider clarifying whether this refers to violations of documented style guidelines that aren't caught by automation, to set clearer expectations.

293-308: Strong clarification of PR review expectations.

The new "Reviewing PRs" section directly addresses the issue raised in #451 by providing concrete guidance on when to use "Request Changes" versus "Comment". The distinction between objective problems (reject) and optional improvements (comment) is clear, and the examples are practical.

The updated Scout approach wording is also more action-oriented and emphasizes proactive ownership—improvements over the original phrasing.
