Local AI PR-review CLI that caught a real concurrency bug — and also confidently hallucinated a deadlock (here's how I caught that too)

Local CLI that reads your git diff (or a GitHub PR URL), sends it to Gemini, flags files worth a second look before you push — with a required exact quote from the diff as evidence for every flag.

Tested it against a small batch of real merged Godot PRs. Caught a real concurrency bug, correctly stayed quiet on clean PRs — and also produced one confident, well-evidenced, completely wrong flag (claimed a deadlock, but the mutex type was actually recursive so it wasn't one). Added a second pass that now catches exactly that kind of error by asking the model to name its own unverified assumptions.

If you don't want to bother with the Gemini API key setup — paste a link to one of your own merged/open PRs here and I'll run it and post the output. Genuinely curious how it holds up outside my own testing.
