Description

Problem

While adding the OpenRouter reviewer caller to milllan/lucerneclinic.test, git add .github/workflows/code-review.yml was silently ignored because the repo's .gitignore ignores .github. The caller only landed after a git add -f.

This means any future workflow/change in that repo won't be committed normally — it'll be skipped unless someone remembers -f, so CI updates can silently fail to deploy.

Fix

Remove .github from .gitignore (or add an exception !/.github/workflows/), then re-commit the caller normally.

Acceptance

  • .github/workflows/code-review.yml is tracked and updatable with a plain git add.
  • Verify by editing the caller and confirming git status shows it without -f.

Research direction

Start by checking the target repository’s .gitignore and .github/workflows/code-review.yml. Confirm that the .github ignore rule prevents normal staging, then apply the requested ignore exception or removal and verify that editing the workflow makes git status show it without -f.
