+# PR Review Loop ("Choir" Reproducibility)
+
+This is the exact merge loop for Tutti automation.
+
+## Objective
+
+Make PR handling deterministic:
+1. Resolve CodeRabbit threads.
+2. Let CodeRabbit auto re-review after push.
+3. Wait for required checks to be green.
+4. Confirm approvals are present.
+5. Merge/land only after gates pass.
+
+## Canonical loop
+
+1. Open or update PR from the issue branch.
+2. Wait for CodeRabbit feedback (`wait_and_collect_coderabbit.py`).
+3. Apply actionable feedback and push.
+4. Repeat until no unresolved feedback remains.
+5. Run final validation (`cargo test --quiet` + reviewer packet).
+6. **Before `land`/merge, enforce merge gate**:
+   - Required checks must be green.
+   - PR review threads must all be resolved (including CodeRabbit threads).
+7. Merge/land.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Automation land steps now run with:
+
+- `TT_ENFORCE_MERGE_GATE=1`
+
+When enabled, `tt land` fails closed if:
+- no open PR exists for the landed branch,
+- any required check is not green,
+- any PR review thread remains unresolved.
+
+## Notes
+
+- CodeRabbit re-review is push-triggered; do not manually force review unless required.
+- Keep this gate in automation even if humans occasionally merge manually.
+- If a gate fails, fix the PR state and rerun the land step.
