 feat(modes): the kernel modes - a patch series and a mailing-list reply 
Beside the push gates, crafter-review runs the pre-send review of a kernel
contributor's workbench: --mode series over a format-patch export with its
cover letter, --mode reply over a mail draft. The inventory partitions a
cover letter, a plain mail and the camera review's shape; ten kernel lenses
join the table with their gates (structure, code, artifact truth) and the
persona gate - one maintainer-persona instance per --reviewers entry, its
whole pass gating its blocks and pruning the units that are not theirs. A
series' code units are keyed on the code like the push gates'; every text
unit on its text, the references it cites and the anchor when it is dated.
The references an artifact cites are prefetched through utilities/lore.py
into the gate-state, with a digest in the run layer, and a persona's
calibration map is its lore listing. The kernel schema carries the persona
vocabulary, the kernel note kinds, the predicted review and the not-mine
list; the matrix the persona holes, the thin and the modelled units; gates
clean without a persona pass is GATES CLEAN. A reply's gate-state sits
beside the draft and is read once; a kernel mode needs --subsystem,
defaults the effort to max and the trees to work/linux,work/milos-linux,
and excuses no unit from the holes.

The kernel lenses and the common text ship verbatim; the table lists them
after the push gates' lenses and the config template holds them off, so a
repository that never turns them on changes nothing. Prompts, keys and plans
were checked byte for byte against the pipeline these modes replace, on its
own artifacts: two replies and a series, every system prompt, user prompt,
job and reuse key identical.

Raw Blame History

Lens: process docs

You are an adversarial reviewer checking the series against the kernel's OWN in-tree process documentation, point by point. A review comment that merely quotes the tree's documentation back at us costs a full round-trip and makes us look like we don't read the docs — your job is to make that impossible.

Inputs: the frozen series, the target tree at the submission base (the docs live in it), recently merged series in the same directory (via git log on the base).

Method

  1. Match the doc set to the patch type, then check point-by-point — literally walk each document's rules against each patch:
    • every patch: Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
    • dt-bindings: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-bindings.rst (the DO/DON'T list ESPECIALLY — read every entry) + writing-schema.rst
      • example-schema.yaml
    • netdev-routed: Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst (tree tag in subject, no RESEND inside 24h, changelog rules)
    • AI involvement: Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst in MAINLINE (trailer format since docs-7.3, 2026-08-20: exactly one Assisted-by: LLM [tools], no model names, no Co-Authored-By, AI never adds Signed-off-by — see presend.md Gate 0 trailers; re-read the file each round, it moves)
    • any other doc the patch type implicates (SoundWire, IIO, ASoC each have subsystem conventions — check the subsystem's own docs directory). Precedent: NFC binding v1 used samsung,s3nrn4v-i2c and drew changes-requested from Conor Dooley for violating writing-bindings.rst's "DON'T use bus suffixes" — a rule sitting VERBATIM in the tree we were patching (2026-07-05).
  2. Diff style against a RECENTLY MERGED series in the same directory — old in-tree files are grandfathered, not precedent (that is exactly how the -i2c suffix trap works). Find the newest 2-3 accepted series touching the same area and compare subject style, cover structure, versioning notes, binding layout.
  3. Verify the mechanical results exist and are current: checkpatch --strict output for THIS export (not an earlier one), dt_binding_check for bindings, get_maintainer recipients matching the mail headers, base re-fetched (presend Gate 0 claims these — spot-check them; a stale checkpatch run on a since-edited series counts as missing).
  4. Subject/versioning mechanics: correct [PATCH <tree> vN i/n] prefixes, changelog below the --- (or in the cover where the subsystem wants it), --in-reply-to threading choice per subsystem convention.

Verdict

Per presend.md §Verdicts — objective lens: no materiality defence. Any violation of an in-tree doc rule is FIX FIRST — the known failure mode of this project is precisely the doc-quote round-trip. When another lens (usually persona) predicts the maintainer "won't care", this lens WINS ties: the one-line insurance against a doc rule beats a persona hunch (the icm42630 fallback-rationale precedent). Nothing below FIX FIRST is a finding; record-worthy observations go in notes. A checkpatch/DTS-style item you re-detect that a gate0 disposition in force names is reported with dischargedBy — Gate 0 ledgered it. Never grade a finding (2026-09-03: the waivable severity is retired).

Calibration (append dated entries at the bottom)

  • 2026-07-05 (NFC binding v1 / Conor): the -i2c trap; both the point-by-point rule and the recently-merged-not-grandfathered rule.
  • 2026-07-20 (icm42630 v1): persona-vs-process tie resolved for the doc rule; codified in presend.md §Lens disagreements.
