+Automated review is running, with one sharp edge now documented. The exclusion patterns

 - **#20** civilytics_logo(): drops patchwork panels, clips captions, and silently rescales fonts · `ws/logo` — nothing is blocking it; something is currently wrong
 - **#21** style_flextable_civilytics() defaults to Bootstrap colors, not Civilytics brand · `ws/logo` — nothing is blocking it; owed work from an earlier change
 - **#22** kodor/* labels are defined at both repo and org scope · `ws/packaging` — nothing is blocking it
+- **#24** roborev exclusion patterns match the whole commit message, causing silent skips · `ws/packaging` — nothing is blocking it
