+For the same-repository `sync/develop-into-next` PR into `next`, each model job
+also writes `/tmp/ai-review/sync-resolution.diff` (`generate-pr-diff.ts`): every
+commit on the sync branch that neither `develop` nor `next` has, with merges

+prompts limit findings to what the resolution introduced; `pr.diff` stays the
