+name: Dispatch Code Review
+
+# Lightweight relay — on PR ready (not every push), dispatches the centralized
+# ocr/Gemini review in AltimateAI/altimate-qa (code-review.yml).
+#
+# Gated loop: review fires only when a PR is opened non-draft or marked Ready for
+# review. `synchronize` is intentionally omitted so pushes don't re-trigger.
+# altimate-qa flips the PR back to draft on CRITICAL findings, so re-review happens
+# on the next ready_for_review after the author addresses them.
+#
+# Token: reuses the org-level AUTOPILOT_DISPATCH_TOKEN (same one dbt-integration /
+# vscode-dbt-power-user use to dispatch to altimate-qa). If that org secret is not
+# visible to this repo, the step skips cleanly — ask an admin to extend its repo
+# visibility (no new token needs to be created).
