-- When reviewing pull requests, **skip and ignore any pull request whose source branch name starts with `auto-merge/`**.
-- Do **not** generate review comments, suggestions, summaries, or approvals for these pull requests.
-- Treat these pull requests as machine-generated and out of scope for AI review.
-
-## Review Expectations (Applicable PRs Only)
-
-- Only review pull requests created from human-authored feature, bugfix, or maintenance branches.
-- Provide feedback that focuses on correctness, design quality, maintainability, and alignment with existing repository conventions.
