Full changelog

Fixed

  • The turn-end review layer (the Stop-hook correctness / duplication / idiom
    lenses) was silently dead on current Claude CLIs. The reviewer spawns
    claude -p --bare, and --bare now drops OAuth/keychain on current CLIs --
    but it does so with an EXIT-0 "Not logged in / Please run /login" body, not a
    nonzero exit. The auth-loss probe only ran in the nonzero branch, so the exit-0
    auth-error string was mistaken for a successful review: it was returned as the
    review output (unparseable, so no findings surfaced), --bare was recorded as
    working, and the reviewer never fell back to a plain spawn. The auth-loss probe
    now runs REGARDLESS of exit code, so an exit-0 "Not logged in" is detected,
    recorded (later spawns skip --bare), and retried plain -- which keeps auth and
    produces a real review. Found and verified via real usage (the reviewer spawn
    now returns a real response instead of the auth-error string). Restores the
    entire turn-end review layer on affected CLIs.
