review_mode controls how much automatic review Comet performs during build and verify.
review_mode controls only automatic in-workflow review. You can also invoke /comet-review at any time for a read-only, on-demand review of the current change; it is independent of review_mode and does not advance the workflow. See Skill types and purpose.
Verify records review and verification evidence but does not handle branch delivery. A passing Verify transition keeps branch_status: pending; Archive records handled only after the user confirms immediate remote delivery.

Xiaoyu arranges off, standard, and thorough review modes by review strength and cost

​
Mode selection

Project defaults live at classic.review_mode in .comet/config.yaml; each Classic change snapshots the value into .comet.yaml.

​
Presets

Hotfix and tweak default to off to keep lightweight paths lightweight. You can raise the mode before verify when risk warrants it.
