Use when a review gate judges a branch diff: verify the diff base FIRST — merge-base vs moved origin/main ref (phantom D/M files), grep anchors after the status tab, exclude bin/obj from symbol greps, and diff the committed plan against the accepted amended version before judging implementation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Review-gate diff verification Gate reviews (code-reviewer, phase-3, plan-vs-implementation) judge a branch diff. Before judging content, verify the diff itself is real — the plumbing lies more often than the code. ## Pitfall 1 — base drift → phantom changes (the big one) **Symptom:** `git diff origin/main..HEAD` shows `D`/`M` on files that NO commit in `git log origin/main..HEAD --stat` touches. **Cause:** the base ref moved past the declared fork point. Main gained commits after the branch was created (e.g. PRs merged post-fork); the worktree's `origin/main` ref now points past the declared base. Files ADDED on main after the fork appear as phantom `D` in the worktree diff; state-file entries appear as phantom `M`. The branch itself made no such change. **Diagnosis sequence (in order):** 1. `git merge-base origin/main HEAD` — the true fork point. 2. `git rev-parse origin/main` vs `git rev-parse <first-commit>^` — if they differ, the base ref drifted. 3. `git ls-tree origin/main -- <path>` vs `git ls-tree HEAD -- <path>` — which side actually holds the file. 4. Confirm: `git diff <true-base>..HEAD --name-status` — clean means the "deletions" were main-side additions. …

How to install
mdr add arasz/ai-badger/review-gate-diff-verification@sha256:781ab10ecf7bc7eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
