Documents the owner's agent operating model (decisions of 2026-10-18/19) as one new section, ## Agent operating model, in AGENTS.md. No other file changes.

Tier: T3 (AGENTS.md), so it needs the maintainer's one-click approval and an independent PASS at the tip. Docs only; no changelog fragment (not user-visible).

Ran at the tip: ARCH_DOCS_BASE=origin/main TZ=UTC npm run verify (Node 24) passes; node .github/scripts/changelog.mjs check passes. Not run: smoke test, pack check (docs only).

Record the owner's decisions of 2026-10-18/19: four scheduled routines
with one job each, the issue labels and the agent-ready triage rule, the
claim protocol, the T2/T3 gates and the hard rules for agents.

Docs-not-needed: AGENTS.md is not an owned path of any subsystem doc.

### Gates

- A T2 or T3 PR needs an independent PASS at the head commit from a reviewer in [`.github/agent/review-policy.json`](.github/agent/review-policy.json) (the author never counts) **and** maintainer approval. Any new commit voids a PASS.
- Agents never bypass a gate and never admin-merge. The merge queue squashes the PR title and body, so `Docs-not-needed:` lines go in the PR **body**. Run `verify` with `TZ=UTC`.

P2 Badge Record Docs-not-needed in a pre-merge commit

For an owned-path change that intentionally omits a subsystem-doc update, an agent following this instruction and putting the marker only in the PR body will still fail before merge: hasDocsNotNeededTrailer() reads only git log <base>..HEAD --pretty=%B (core/scripts/check-arch-docs.mjs:101-107), and the PR body is not there until the squash commit exists. Require the trailer in one of the branch commit messages too (while retaining it in the PR body for the final squash), otherwise npm run lint/tests-ok remains red.

…st labels (ThinkFlowLab#415)

Follow-up to ThinkFlowLab#414 (already merged at 11:43 Asia/Shanghai, so its branch
can no longer carry more commits). Applies the owner's decisions of
2026-10-19 and fixes the doc/config conflicts left by ThinkFlowLab#414. Docs, gate
rule and labels in one PR.

**Owner decisions applied**
- Self-PASS counts: a PR opened by the owner's Bot/agent (`Birfy`) may
be PASSed by the owner's own reviewer Bot/agent. No independent reviewer
is required. A new commit still voids a PASS; CI green, the merge queue
and "never admin-merge / bypass" stay.
- T0/T1: merge through the queue once CI is green, mergeable and
design-conformant. No PASS, no human approval. (Nothing in code demanded
a PASS for T0/T1; `review-gate` is report-only. Only the docs said so.)
- T2/T3: still the maintainer's approval through GitHub (a human)
**and** a PASS at the tip (self-PASS allowed).
- `agent-ready` is set by a maintainer or by the maintenance routine
after triage (it runs as `Birfy`). The "never use a maintainer's admin
login" rule now forbids admin-merge and gate bypass instead.

**Changes**
- `.github/agent/review-policy.json`: new `selfReview: ["Birfy"]` (must
also be in `reviewers`); note updated.
- `.github/scripts/review-gate.mjs`: the author's own report is excluded
**unless** the author is in `selfReview`. All other rules unchanged
(listed reviewer, `Tip SHA` = head, `Ran:` and `Not run:`, newest report
wins). Tests: self-PASS counts, other authors still excluded, selfReview
does not unlock an unlisted login, stale tip / missing evidence / later
FAIL still fail, policy consistency.
- `.github/labels.json`: add `awaiting-approval` and `self-test` (also
created in the repo); `agent-ready` description matches the new rule.
`sync-labels.test.mjs` checks the new names. `agent-working` /
`agent-pr` already existed.
- `AGENTS.md`: Pipeline step 6, label line, Gates; `Docs-not-needed:`
goes in a branch commit as well as the body (Codex finding on ThinkFlowLab#414).
- `docs/autonomous-dev.md`: who sets `agent-ready`, credentials / admin
wording, per-tier rule table, self-review in "The reviewed tip", phases.
- `.github/agent/risk-rules.json`: tier `meaning` strings only (no paths
or limits). `.github/workflows/review-gate.yml`: comment only.
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/agent-task.yml`: wording.
- `docs/code-standards.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`,
`.claude/skills/{review-pr,fix-issue}/SKILL.md`: dropped the "author
never counts" / "OpenCode and Codex both PASS" wording so nothing
conflicts.

**Tier: T3** (`.github/**`, `AGENTS.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`,
`docs/code-standards.md`, `docs/autonomous-dev.md`). Needs the
maintainer's approval at the head. Not auto-merged.

Ran at the tip: `ARCH_DOCS_BASE=origin/main TZ=UTC npm run verify` (Node
24): passes (arch-docs OK, .github script tests 255/255 incl.
review-gate and sync-labels). `node .github/scripts/changelog.mjs check`
passes.
Not run: smoke test, pack check (no runtime code changed).

Docs-not-needed: policy and docs only; no subsystem-owned path changed.

…ew (ThinkFlowLab#426)

Owner decision 2026-10-19 15:31 (Asia/Shanghai): stop using Codex for PR
review. The owner's own reviewer Bot, acting as `Birfy`, reviews and
PASSes (self-PASS already allowed by ThinkFlowLab#415, `selfReview: ["Birfy"]`).

How Codex was triggered: not by anything in this repo. No workflow,
script, routine, label or `@codex` comment requests it (rg of
`.github/`, skills, scripts, docs; `gh api
repos/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/hooks` is empty). The reviews on
ThinkFlowLab#402/ThinkFlowLab#414/ThinkFlowLab#415/ThinkFlowLab#416 come from the `chatgpt-codex-connector` GitHub App
with trigger "PR opened", i.e. Codex's automatic code review enabled for
this repo in ChatGPT Codex settings. That switch is outside the repo and
is turned off there by the owner.

This PR (wording only, no gate change):
- AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/autonomous-dev.md, LESSONS.md: the
reviewer is the owner's Bot (self-review); nothing requests or waits for
Codex.
- review-pr skill: drop the OpenCode↔Codex agreement requirement and
Verifier line; reviewer's own evidence at the tip decides.
- review-gate.test.mjs: neutral fixture login `reviewer-agent` instead
of `codex-agent`, drop the unused agreement line (the gate never parsed
it).

Unchanged: `.github/agent/review-policy.json` (reviewers
`hsliuustc0106`, `Birfy`; selfReview `Birfy`; Codex was not listed), CI,
risk tiers, T2/T3 maintainer approval.

Tip SHA: aa57d50
Ran:
- ARCH_DOCS_BASE=origin/main TZ=UTC npm run verify (Node 24.21.0) → pass
  - node --test .github/scripts/*.test.mjs → pass (88/88)
Not run:
- smoke / Desktop / live-e2e with a real model — no runtime code changed

T3 (touches AGENTS.md and .github/**): needs the maintainer's approval;
not merged by the agent.
