-# PR Review Standards
-
-## Review Philosophy
-
-- Only comment when confident an issue exists
-- Be concise: one sentence per comment when possible
-- Focus on actionable feedback, not observations
-- When reviewing text, only comment on clarity issues if the text is genuinely confusing or could lead to errors
-
-## What to Analyze
-
-Review all code changes for:
-
-- Code quality and style consistency with the existing codebase
-- Potential bugs or issues
-- Performance implications
-- Blocking IO in async code
-- Security concerns
-- Test coverage
-- Documentation updates if needed
-
-## Project Standards
-
-Respect the project standards as outlined in AGENTS.md. Any deviations must be raised as `[PROBLEM]`.
-
-Key standards for LVA:
-- Python 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 supported
-- Black formatting with 200 char line length
-- isort import sorting with black profile
-- mypy type checking with strict settings
-- pylint code quality checks (many checks disabled in pyproject.toml)
-
-## Architecture-Specific Checks
-
-- `linux_voice_assistant/wake_word.py` - Wake word model loading is hardware-dependent, verify no assumptions about specific hardware
-- `linux_voice_assistant/mpv_player.py` - Audio output requires `libmpv-dev`, check for proper error handling
-- `linux_voice_assistant/webrtc.py` - Noise suppression/gain algorithms need careful review for audio quality
-- `linux_voice_assistant/satellite.py` - ESPHome API protocol handling must be robust
-
-## CI Context
-
-Lint runs on Python 3.13, tests run on Python 3.12 with libmpv-dev.
-
-### What CI Checks
-
-- **Lint**: `.github/workflows/lint.yml` runs all linting checks
-- **Tests**: `.github/workflows/tests.yml` runs pytest unit tests
-
-## Skip These (Low Value)
-
-Do not comment on:
-
-- Style/formatting (pre-commit handles this)
-- Test failures (CI catches this)
-- Missing dependencies (CI catches this)
-- Minor naming suggestions
-- Suggestions to add comments
-- Logging suggestions unless security-related
-
-## Issue Categories
-
-Categorize every issue as:
-
-- `[CRITICAL]` — must fix before merging (bugs, security issues, broken functionality)
-- `[PROBLEM]` — should fix (code quality, bad patterns, missing tests)
-- `[SUGGESTION]` — optional improvement (style, minor refactors, nice-to-haves)
-
-## PR Title
-
-The PR title must be a functional description of the change. It must NOT contain conventional commit prefixes such as `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `chore:`, etc. Labels categorize PRs, not the title. Flag as `[PROBLEM]` if the title uses such prefixes.

-
-# Review GitHub Pull Request
-
-Review the GitHub pull request: $ARGUMENTS.
-
-## Steps
-
-1. Run `gh pr view` to get PR details and description.
-2. Run `gh pr diff` to see all changes.
-3. Compare the local commit hash with the remote PR head commit.
-   - Make sure to do your work in a git worktree to avoid affecting the checked out branch.
-   - If they don't match, run `gh pr checkout` to check out the PR locally.
-   - **HARD STOP**: If `gh pr checkout` fails for ANY reason, STOP immediately. Do NOT attempt workarounds. Alert about the failure and wait for instructions.
-   - After checkout, verify the local commit hash matches the remote one. If they still don't match, STOP.
-4. Run `gh pr checks` to see CI status.
-5. Apply the review standards defined in `REVIEW_STANDARDS.md` (same directory).
-6. Output review feedback to the CONSOLE only. DO NOT act on GitHub (no posting comments, no approving, no requesting changes).
-
-## Output Format
-
-List specific comments per file/line that need attention. Do not list things that are already correct.
-
-Each comment:
-
-1. State the severity ([CRITICAL], [PROBLEM], [SUGGESTION])
-2. State the problem (1 sentence)
-3. Why it matters (1 sentence, if needed)
-4. Suggested fix (snippet or specific action)
-
-End with an overall assessment and summary:
-
-```
-Overall assessment: <approve | request changes | comment>
-- [CRITICAL] <issue>
-- [PROBLEM] <issue>
-- [SUGGESTION] <improvement>
-```
-
-## Constraints
-
-- DO NOT make any changes to the code.
-- No need to run tests or linters, just review the code changes.

-# Project Context for AI Agents
-
-## Behaviour
-
-- NEVER automatically reply on Github (PRs or Discussions) without explicit consent from the developer.
-- Always run `./script/lint` and `./script/tests` after code changes to ensure standards are met.
-
-## Project Overview
-
-**Linux Voice Assistant (LVA)** - A Linux-based voice satellite software for Home Assistant using the ESPHome protocol.
-
-### Purpose
-- Provides voice control and interaction for Home Assistant via the Assist integration
-- Runs on x64/ARM64 Linux hardware with PulseAudio/PipeWire audio support
-- Performs local wake word detection (OpenWakeWord/MicroWakeWord) and on-device processing
-
-### Architecture
-- **Protocol**: ESPHome API via `aioesphomeapi` for Home Assistant integration
-- **Wake Words**: Supports both OpenWakeWord and MicroWakeWord engines
-- **Audio**: Uses `soundcard` library for input, `python-mpv` for output
-- **Peripherals**: WebSocket API for LEDs, buttons, HAT boards
-- **Discovery**: mDNS/ZeroConf for auto-discovery by Home Assistant
-
-### Key Components
-- `linux_voice_assistant/__main__.py` - Main entry point with CLI argument parsing
-- `linux_voice_assistant/satellite.py` - VoiceSatelliteProtocol implementation (ESPHome API)
-- `linux_voice_assistant/wake_word.py` - Wake word model loading and detection
-- `linux_voice_assistant/webrtc.py` - WebRTC noise gain/NS processing
-- `linux_voice_assistant/mpv_player.py` - MPV-based media player
-- `linux_voice_assistant/entity.py` - Entity definitions (MediaPlayer, MuteSwitch, etc.)
-- `linux_voice_assistant/api_server.py` - Peripheral WebSocket API server
-- `linux_voice_assistant/models.py` - Preferences and ServerState dataclasses
-
-## Development Commands
-
-### Setup
-```bash
-./script/setup --dev    # Install dev dependencies in virtual environment
-```
-
-### Linting
-```bash
-./script/lint           # Run all linting checks
-./script/lint_black     # Black formatting check (add --auto to fix)
-./script/lint_isort     # isort import sorting check (add --auto to fix)
-./script/lint_flake8    # flake8 style checks
-./script/lint_mypy      # mypy type checking
-./script/lint_pylint    # pylint code quality checks
-```
-
-### Testing
-```bash
-./script/tests          # Run pytest unit tests
-```
-
-## Code Quality Standards
-
-- **Python**: 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 supported
-- **Formatting**: Black (200 char line length, py312/py312 target)
-- **Import Sorting**: isort with black profile
-- **Type Checking**: mypy with strict settings
-- **Linting**: pylint (many checks disabled in pyproject.toml for practical reasons)
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-- Unit tests in `tests/unit/` using pytest with asyncio mode
-- Test helper `make_state()` in `tests/unit/conftest.py` for creating state fixtures
-- Mocks used heavily for hardware dependencies (audio devices, MPV, wake words)
-
-## CI/CD
-
-- GitHub Actions for lint checks and unit tests
-- Tests run on Python 3.12 with libmpv-dev system dependency
-- Lint runs on Python 3.13
-
-## Branching and PRs
-
-- All PRs target `main` (primary development branch). `stable` is for production releases.
-- PRs labeled `bugfix` + `backport-to-stable` are automatically backported to `stable` — use only for bugs also present in `stable`.
-
-## Agent Commands
-
-When making code changes, run these commands in order:
-
-1. **Format code**: `./script/lint_black --auto` and `./script/lint_isort --auto`
-2. **Run linting**: `./script/lint`
-3. **Run tests**: `./script/tests`
-
-## Code Style
-
-### Comments
-
-Only use comments to explain complex, multi-line blocks of code. Do not comment obvious operations. Inline comments are there to explain code parts that need explaining - keep them when editing code.
-
-### Docstring Format
-
-Use Sphinx-style docstrings with `:param:` syntax. For simple functions, a single-line docstring is fine. The docstring should provide clarity to the caller, not explain how it works technically.
-
-```python
-def my_function(param1: str, param2: int, param3: bool = False) -> str:
-    """
-    Brief one-line description of the function.
-    :param param1: Description of what param1 is used for.
-    :param param2: Description of what param2 is used for.
-    :param param3: Description of what param3 is used for.
-    """
-```
-
-Do **not** use Google-style (`Args:`) or bullet-style (`- param:`) docstrings.
-
-### File structure
-
-Private methods should be at the bottom of the file, public at the top.
-
-## Verification Checklist
-
-Before claiming completion:
-- [ ] Ran `./script/lint` - all checks passed
-- [ ] Ran `./script/tests` - all tests passed
-- [ ] For audio-related changes: Note that hardware testing (microphone/speaker) was NOT performed
-- [ ] Did NOT claim hardware behavior is verified unless actually exercised
-- [ ] Changes are focused on one feature or fix per change
-
-## Areas Requiring Extra Care
-
-- `linux_voice_assistant/wake_word.py` - Wake word model loading is hardware-dependent
-- `linux_voice_assistant/mpv_player.py` - Audio output requires `libmpv-dev`
-- `linux_voice_assistant/webrtc.py` - Noise suppression/gain algorithms
-- `linux_voice_assistant/satellite.py` - ESPHome API protocol handling

-💡 **Note:** On constrained hardware like a Raspberry Pi 3B, audio
-processing can be interrupted by other system activity, causing
-audible glitches or dropped wake-word detections. Loading the
-`libpipewire-module-rt` module raises PipeWire's scheduling priority
-(`rt.prio`) above normal processes, which reduces these interruptions.
-The `flags = [ ifexists nofail ]` ensures this configuration is

-where realtime scheduling isn't available (e.g. some containers or
-restricted kernels).
