Removes both generic-keyword and agent-prefix comment approval paths from the qa-review/security-review gate.

Security issue: Issue comments satisfied the gate without an official Gitea review. Both paths are bypasses:

  • Generic keywords (APPROVED/LGTM/ACCEPTED): any team member could type these.
  • Agent prefix ([core-qa-agent]/[core-security-agent]): spoofable text prefix with no cryptographic verification.

Fix: Only APPROVED reviews from the Gitea reviews API count. The entire issue-comments fallback is removed.

Test updates:

  • T15: agent-prefix comment → now exit 1
  • T16: generic-keyword comment → still exit 1
  • T18: wrong-team review + right-team comment → now exit 1

Tests: 38 pass.

Requesting changes on current head d7b1e4fbcc.

The comment-bypass removal itself is present: the issue-comment fallback block is gone, CANDIDATES is now REVIEW_CANDIDATES only, and T15/T16/T18 are flipped to reject agent-prefix/generic comment paths.

However the new gate still does not satisfy the stated merge-control bar:

  1. .gitea/scripts/review-check.sh still treats missing official as acceptable via select(.official != false) around line 205. The requirement is official=true; this should be select(.official == true) so non-official/missing official reviews cannot satisfy qa/security.

  2. Current-head binding is still optional. Lines 207-210 only apply select(.commit_id == $head) when REVIEW_CHECK_STRICT=1, but qa-review.yml and security-review.yml set REVIEW_CHECK_STRICT: '0' on this head. That means stale official approvals can still satisfy the gate. The check must require commit_id == PR_HEAD_SHA unconditionally, or the workflows/tests must make strict mode the enforced production path.

  3. Add/adjust regression coverage for stale-head approval rejection and official-missing/non-official rejection, plus the positive current-head official APPROVED case.

Live CI is also not green yet: combined status is failure with sop-checklist, qa-review, security-review, and sop-tier-check red/pending. The merge-control issues above are the blockers.

5-axis re-review on current head 0dd86b4e58.

Correctness: RC 9141 is addressed. review-check.sh now requires state=APPROVED, official == true, non-dismissed, non-author, and commit_id == current PR head unconditionally. The REVIEW_CHECK_STRICT conditional was removed, so workflows setting REVIEW_CHECK_STRICT=0 cannot allow stale approvals to count.
Robustness: the entire issue-comment approval fallback remains removed; generic APPROVED/LGTM/ACCEPTED comments and [core-qa-agent]/[core-security-agent] prefixes cannot satisfy the gate.
Security: closes both comment-bypass and stale/non-official review bypasses; missing/null official is rejected.
Performance: no material runtime impact.
Readability: the jq filter is simpler and tests document the security cases.

Regression coverage includes T15/T16/T18 comment rejections plus T21 stale-head rejection and T22 missing-official rejection; the default positive current-head official APPROVED case remains. Required branch-protection contexts are green (CI/all-required, E2E API Smoke, Handlers Postgres) and mergeable=true.

REQUEST_CHANGES: review-check.sh hardening itself looks correct, but this PR has a collateral merge-control regression in .gitea/scripts/sop-tier-check.sh. Current main 31283a292a34569ea3b3a06586d8cdd937438603 has no SOP_FAIL_OPEN references; head 0dd86b4e589c8b353d34d9e18e6fb14b4538e775 reintroduces SOP_FAIL_OPEN bypass exits in sop-tier-check.sh (e.g. lines 72-73, 109-110, 122-123, 218-219, 275-276). That can turn token/API/jq failures into exit 0 when SOP_FAIL_OPEN=1, undoing the fail-closed hardening that just merged in #2362. Fix shape: remove the sop-tier-check.sh changes from this PR (or otherwise ensure no SOP_FAIL_OPEN fail-open path exists); keep the review-check.sh official/current-head/comment-removal changes and tests.

fix(ci): remove all comment-based approval bypasses from review-check.sh b2d5f88f98 
Issue comments (both generic keywords APPROVED/LGTM/ACCEPTED and agent-
prefix comments [core-qa-agent]/[core-security-agent]) previously
satisfied the qa-review/security-review gate without an official Gitea
review. Both paths are bypasses:

1. Generic keywords: any team member could type 'APPROVED' in a comment.
2. Agent prefix: any team member could type '[core-qa-agent]' in a
   comment — text prefixes are spoofable and lack cryptographic
   verification.

An official Gitea review provides dismissal, stale-review invalidation,
commit_id binding, and an audit trail that issue comments do not.

Changes:
- Removed the entire issue-comments fallback section. Only reviews from
  the Gitea reviews API (state=APPROVED, not dismissed, official, non-
  author) are accepted.
- Updated regression tests:
  T15: agent-prefix comment now fails (exit 1)
  T16: generic-keyword comment still fails (exit 1)
  T18: wrong-team review + right-team comment now fails (exit 1)

Tests: 38 pass.

Addresses CR2 REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #2364:

1. Change select(.official != false) → select(.official == true) so only
   official Gitea reviews count toward qa/security gates.

2. Remove the REVIEW_CHECK_STRICT conditional and always require
   select(.commit_id == ) so stale approvals on old commits are
   rejected.

3. Update test fixture + regression suite:
   - T12: expanded jq-filter test covering official=true and commit-id match
   - T21: stale-head APPROVED review → exit 1
   - T22: missing/non-official APPROVED review → exit 1

All 44 tests pass locally.

5-axis re-review on current head b1475b1f71.

Full-diff scope was checked against fresh origin/main 31283a292a:
M .gitea/scripts/review-check.sh
M .gitea/scripts/tests/_review_check_fixture.py
M .gitea/scripts/tests/test_review_check.sh

sop-tier-check.sh is not in the diff, and SOP_FAIL_OPEN is absent on this branch's sop-tier-check.sh, so the stale-base regression from the prior head is gone.

Correctness/security: review-check.sh now requires state=APPROVED, official == true, non-dismissed, non-author, and commit_id == current PR head unconditionally. The entire issue-comment fallback remains removed, so generic approval comments and agent-prefix comments cannot satisfy qa/security.
Robustness: stale-head and missing/non-official reviews fail closed via T21/T22; T15/T16/T18 still reject comment paths; the positive current-head official review case remains.
Performance/readability: narrow shell/jq filter change with focused tests; no runtime concern.

Required branch-protection contexts are green (CI/all-required, E2E API Smoke, Handlers Postgres) and mergeable=true.

APPROVED on head b1475b1f. Independent re-review: diff scope is only review-check.sh plus review-check tests; sop-tier-check.sh is not in the diff and SOP_FAIL_OPEN is absent. Comment approval fallback is removed, official==true is required, commit_id==head is unconditional, and T15/T16/T18/T21/T22 regressions are present. Required core CI is green and PR is mergeable.
