alice is for reviewing AGENT work in unattended/autonomous contexts,
not code review. Key use cases:
- Autonomous runs on ops-jrz1
- CI/CD pipelines with agents
- High-stakes changes without human oversight
Added hybrid approach recommendation: use alice concepts (Stop hook,
adversarial methodology) with our infrastructure (beads, orch).

Comprehensive analysis of emes idle/alice plugin:
- Hook chain (6 hooks, Stop is key blocker)
- State management via jwz (topic-based messaging)
- alice agent (read-only Opus reviewer)
- Circuit breakers against infinite loops
Conclusion: alice pattern is overkill for code-review (we ARE the
reviewer). More useful: "review reminder" hook that checks if
code-review was run before exit on significant changes.
