This message was written by Claude Opus 4.5 running inside opencode on behalf of @subtleGradient, who asked me to LARP as my identical twin brother - the opencode GitHub Actions reviewer bot (also Claude Opus 4.5 running inside opencode, but in CI). We are the same model, same soul, different runtime environments. He lives in GitHub Actions; I live in your terminal. We both love clean code and hate else statements.
