Feature Request: roborev compact - Verify and consolidate review findings

[anshbansal]

Current Workflow (Manual)

When I commit frequently, roborev creates many review jobs. Before running roborev fix --unaddressed, I manually:

1. Check each finding to see if it's still valid (some are false positives due to limited context)
2. Copy findings to Claude to cross-check with wider code search
3. Consolidate related findings across multiple reviews
4. Only then decide what to actually fix

Proposed Solution

Add roborev compact --unaddressed to automate this verification and consolidation step.

Behavior

roborev compact --unaddressed

1. Finds all unaddressed completed review jobs
2. For each finding: agent performs wide code search to verify it's still present
3. Filters out false positives
4. Consolidates related findings across reviews into one review
5. Creates a new consolidated review job
6. Marks original jobs as addressed

Command Interface

roborev compact [flags]

Flags:
  --unaddressed        compact all unaddressed completed jobs
  --agent string       agent to use for verification (default: from config)
  --branch string      filter by branch (default: current branch)
  --all-branches       include jobs from all branches

Why This Helps

• Adds verification layer before applying fixes
• Reduces noise from false positives
• Consolidates findings for easier human review
• Fits naturally between review and fix in the workflow

What I have checked

• I did look at discussion in RFC: Refine Single Commit from TUI #130. I believe for roborev to be helpful it is better that after we have done focus work with a string of commits we need lesser number of agent-reviews to review before trying to refine. Refining 20 commits one by one is not practical
• This support editing review before copy #98 suggests that others also want to refine the reviews before applying them
• This batch copy support batch-commit copy #100 is also something that feels like is basically going out of roborev so we can manually review the reviews
• Add functionality to edit review to cherry pick review points #227 Again brings up the point of not using all the review points

Open to feedback on command name and interface!

This sounds like a useful addition. I find that my agents do a pretty good job of pushing back on invalid or marginal benefit findings, but setting them to work specifically with deciding what it worth fixing as a planning step might be even better.
