Summary

Root cause

The skill text in Step 4 said "stay silent and skip to step 5" for self-authored PRs. But Step 5 had no skip condition for self-authored PRs — it just said "After approving or staying silent, monitor CI." The bot dutifully entered a 10-minute polling loop every time, despite having no approval to dismiss on failure.

Previous fixes (#1350, #1430) added skip instructions but they were either too subtle or placed only at Step 5's entry without also fixing the Step 4 redirect. This fix addresses both locations.

Evidence

Run PR Time wasted
23131628298 #1558 (nightly cleanup) ~10 min polling
23130657242 #1557 (hourly review fix) ~10 min polling

Test plan

  • Next self-authored PR review should skip CI polling and exit after step 6

Recurrence #3 of #1350 / #1430. The review-pr skill directed bots to
"skip to step 5" for silent self-authored PRs, but step 5 had no skip
condition — so bots entered 10-minute CI polling loops that add no
value (no approval to dismiss on failure).

Fix: redirect self-authored silent verdicts to step 6 (resolve threads)
and add an explicit early-return at the top of step 5.

Evidence from runs 23131628298 and 23130657242: both spent ~10 minutes
polling CI on self-authored PRs #1558 and #1557 respectively, with no
action possible on the results.
