This behavior (where code reviews skip
AGENTS.md) is by design, so I don't think we'd consider this a bug. For many users,AGENTS.mdis written in such a way that it wouldn't be appropriate for code review tasks.On MacOS when I run the /review command it goes into an endless loop running git status command with "Operation not permitted" result. The issue has to do with needing to export the TEMPDIR env var. But there is no way to tell it to do that prior to running commands in /review mode. I thought if I told it in Agents.md it would solve the problem, but that doesn't work.
