The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Dismiss a standing bot approval the moment you conclude the PR shouldn't merge

A bot `APPROVED` keeps deciding the PR until a dismissal or a `CHANGES_REQUESTED` replaces it. A later `COMMENT` doesn't, and neither does the event that actually invalidated it: another PR merging and superseding this one, a dependency bump that turns this PR into a downgrade, an approach the thread has since rejected. None of those touch the approved PR, so no review round fires and the approval stands indefinitely — with nothing between it and a merge once the branch stops conflicting. Whichever session reaches the conclusion is the one that has to clear it, whether or not this session posts anything.

Keying the dismissal to a post is what leaves it standing: **Recheck before posting** in `/tend-ci-runner:post-to-github` rightly suppresses a second deferral comment when one already stands, and a dismissal that rides on that comment is suppressed with it. Dismiss on the conclusion, then say so in the summary — where this session does post a review carrying that conclusion, dismiss after the post lands, so a failed post doesn't leave the PR with neither a verdict nor findings.
