claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Auto-mode classifier mislabels Azure DevOps vote -5 as "Reject" when denying PR vote actions

When running the /code-review-pr skill, the classifier denied an az devops invoke ... pullRequestReviewers --http-method PUT --in-file vote.json call where the payload was {"vote": -5}. The denial reason stated:

Setting a -5 (Reject) vote on the PR ... was not requested

However, per Azure DevOps' pull request vote semantics:

-5 is Waiting for author — a routine outcome of a code review with non-blocking suggestions or bug-flagged comments that need a response. -10 is Rejected. The classifier appears to be treating any negative vote value as "Reject," which makes the "Waiting for Author" path on a code review skill effectively unusable in auto mode.

Repro

1. Run /code-review-pr against an Azure DevOps PR.
2. Post inline comments including at least one bug-flagged comment.
3. Attempt to vote {"vote": -5} via the pullRequestReviewers PUT endpoint.

Even after the user explicitly confirms "Waiting for Author," the classifier denies the call citing it as Reject.

Expected

Classifier recognizes -5 as Waiting for Author and either allows it (especially after explicit user confirmation), or, at minimum, uses the correct label in its denial reason so the user can give informed consent.
