-# pr-reviewer config — controls how the bot (ben-s-pull-request-reviewer[bot]) posts reviews on this repo's PRs.
-#
-# Schema:
-#   autoApprove: bool (default false when this file is absent or the field is unset)
-#
-# When autoApprove is true:
-#   - verdict "approve"        → posts as APPROVE (counts toward branch-protection reviewer gates)
-#   - verdict "request-changes" → posts as REQUEST_CHANGES (always)
-#
-# When autoApprove is false (or this file absent):
-#   - verdict "approve"        → demoted to COMMENT with body prefix
-#                                "auto-approve disabled for this repo, review submitted as comment"
-#   - verdict "request-changes" → posts as REQUEST_CHANGES (always)
-#
-# Branch-protection consideration: if this repo has branch protection requiring N approvals,
-# the bot's APPROVE counts toward that N. Combine with required human reviewers if you want
-# a human gate in addition to the bot.
