+# CodeRabbit review label
+
+The `coderabbit-review-label` Task reconciles `do-not-merge/request-change`.
+It supplements the existing OWNERS, approved and lgtm requirements; it does not
+require every commit to receive a CodeRabbit approval.
+
+## Policy
+
+- Reconcile only on CodeRabbit `pull_request_review` events with action
+  `submitted` or `dismissed`. Opening, reopening or pushing to a PR does not
+  trigger this Task; existing labels persist until a later review is processed.
+- Read PR state and reviews with `gh pr view --json headRefOid,state,labels,reviews`;
+  gh automatically paginates reviews. Select GraphQL author login `coderabbitai`.
+  The webhook filter still uses REST login `coderabbitai[bot]` and type `Bot`;
+  `gh pr view` does not expose the review author's type.
+- Order submitted decisions by submission time, using API array order to break
+  ties (GraphQL review IDs are opaque), ignoring COMMENTED
+  and PENDING reviews. Include DISMISSED as a conservative barrier: dismissal
+  must not revive an older approval.
+- The latest CHANGES_REQUESTED adds the blocker, including when the PR has since
+  received new commits.
+- The latest APPROVED can remove an existing blocker only when its `commit_id`
+  equals the current PR head SHA. Recheck the snapshot before and after removal.
+- All other states preserve the existing label. Resolving a conversation alone
+  does not clear it. An approval followed by a push does not create a new blocker.
+- The label stores the outstanding block. There is no historical-approval search
+  that can resurrect a resolved objection. Manual bypass is not implemented.
+
+Label changes use the same `gh pr edit --add-label/--remove-label` interface as
+the other label Tasks in this repository. API errors fail the TaskRun. If
+verification fails after deletion, the Task attempts to restore the label;
+failed runs need operator attention and retry.
+No PR code is checked out or executed. Event values enter the shell through
+environment variables, and repository/PR identifiers are validated.
+
+## Rollout (deployment and event routing pending)
+
+1. The pilot is `ti-community-infra/configs`, restricted to PRs whose base
+   branch is exactly `test_ai_review`, in
+   `tekton/v1/triggers/triggers/env-gcp/_/github-pr-coderabbit-review-label.yaml`.
+   Create the branch separately if it does not exist. CodeRabbit must review PRs
+   targeting this non-default branch; creating or retargeting a PR alone is not
+   sufficient evidence that the review event chain works.
+2. Deploy the registered Task, TriggerTemplate and Trigger to the same namespace.
+   The existing `github` secret needs PR read and issue label write permissions.
+   The selected release image must provide bash, gh (with `gh pr view --json`
+   support for the fields above and automatic review pagination), and jq.
+3. Verify the authenticated webhook/EventListener route and its trigger selector.
+   This Trigger uses the existing `type: github-pr` label but also needs delivery
+   of `pull_request_review` events. EventListener definitions are not in this
+   change; do not assume the pull_request selector accepts review events.
+4. In configs/prow/config/plugins.yaml, add `pull_request_review` to exactly the
+   external-plugin endpoint serving this deployment for the pilot repository
+   `ti-community-infra/configs`. This Task only requires `pull_request_review`;
+   preserve existing plugin entries and event subscriptions for other tasks.
+   Do not enable both tekton2-ee-cd and prow-tekton without verifying routing.
+5. Sync the new label definition from configs. Every Tide query admitting a pilot
+   PR must exclude the exact label; bare `do-not-merge` is not a wildcard.
+6. Reconcile existing open pilot PRs using the Task before relying on the gate.
+   Historical dismissed reviews cannot reconstruct a missing blocker; inspect
+   these PRs explicitly during rollout.
+
+## Limits
+
+This is an asynchronous Tide label gate, not a GitHub required check or a lock
+on manual merging. Snapshot rechecks and restoration reduce stale writes but do
+not serialize concurrent TaskRuns or atomically coordinate with Tide. A failed
+delivery, process termination, or concurrent merge can leave a window before
+the label is applied/restored. This implementation must not be described as a
+zero-race merge guarantee. Retries re-read GitHub state and are safe to repeat.
+
+No automatic backfill, periodic repair, protected manual override, or additional
+label permission policy is installed by this change. These are rollout or future
+extensions, not existing functionality.
