 The 3 import errors cause pytest to crash during collection, preventing any tests from running.
 
+## Author's Comments (Verbatim)
+
+### Comment 1 (2025-11-28T01:09:25Z)
+
+> "nothing is replaced , just added , report writer, proofreaders , websearch , rag , planner , orchestrator , pydantic graphs , agent and retrival factories , etc . that's why there's a lot of code , but it's not wired into the gradio demo yet ;-)"
+
+**Analysis**: This claim is factually incorrect. Git diff shows:
+
+- `src/orchestrator.py` was renamed to `src/legacy_orchestrator.py`
+- `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `GEMINI.md` were deleted
+
+### Comment 2 (2025-11-28T01:11:14Z)
+
+> "btw 3 failing tests on a 13k LoC PR is not a major issue , but i'll circle back tomorrow morning ... on this auspicious day : i am thankful for you and this work you did 🦃🦃🦃"
+
+**Analysis**: Minimizes the severity. Those "3 failing tests" crash pytest during collection—the entire test suite cannot run. This is not "3 out of 300 failing"; it's "0 tests can execute."
+
+### Comment 3 (2025-11-28T01:28:06Z)
+
+> "@The-Obstacle-Is-The-Way , as fearless leader i volunteer you as maintainer on your repo :-) btw code rabbit is absolutely siiiick"
+
+**Analysis**: Notably absent is any commitment to fix the 35+ issues CodeRabbit identified. A professional response would be: "Thanks for the review, I'll address those issues." Instead, only commentary on how "sick" the tool is.

 |-------|---------|
 | "nothing is replaced, just added" | `src/orchestrator.py` renamed to `src/legacy_orchestrator.py`; `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `GEMINI.md` deleted |
 | "3 failing tests on a 13k LoC PR is not a major issue" | Those 3 tests crash pytest during collection - entire test suite cannot run |
+| "code rabbit is absolutely siiiick" | No commitment to fix any of the 35+ issues identified |

+- Did not minimize quality issues when identified
 
 ## Decision
 
@@ -38,12 +82,16 @@ The PR was not merged for the following reasons:
 2. **Parallel architecture, not incremental improvement** - Introduces entirely different orchestration system rather than building on existing working code
 3. **Maintenance burden** - Would require maintaining two separate orchestration systems
 4. **Existing code labeled "legacy"** - Working, tested code renamed to "legacy" in favor of untested code
+5. **No commitment to fix issues** - After CodeRabbit identified 35+ critical bugs, no indication of intent to address them
