nodecode-mock-review

Mock Review: review boards for UI mockups, where you mark each decision and Send brings the marks back. A Nodecode rewrite of apelabs-dev/hermes-mock-review by apelabs-dev.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the mock-review cell", or run nodecode add nc://mock-review.

Set it up

Nothing is required. The board is a page on the gateway's own port, so it opens in any browser on this machine: http://127.0.0.1:<port>/mock-review/<id>/, the link each review is answered with.

"mock-review": {
  "directory": "mock-reviews/",          // where reviews live, under the home
  "require_note_on_change": false,      // block Send until every Change says why
  "note_chars": 2000                    // the longest note kept from a reviewer
}

Use it

Ask for a review of the options on the table and the model answers with a link. Five tools are the model's half:

Tool	What it does
`mock_review_create`	Opens a review at round 1: a title, a brief, and the decisions of the round.
`mock_review_add_round`	Puts a new round on the same review; the earlier rounds are kept.
`mock_review_feedback`	A round's marks as one markdown digest (the newest round by default).
`mock_review_ack`	Says a round is handled, so it does not read as still waiting.
`mock_review_list`	The open reviews, with their round and state.

A round is decisions. Each decision is a question, two to six options, and the option the model recommends; an option may carry a mock, a whole small HTML page, which the board frames at its own sandboxed origin — a live prototype works, and it can read nothing of the board around it.

On the page, you mark each decision Approve, Change or Skip, may pick the option you want and say why, and press Send feedback. Send answers the board ("Sent. The agent has it."), and the marks are stored with the round: the model reads them with mock_review_feedback, which answers

# Mock review feedback — Pricing page, round 1
Review `r-3k9-1f2` · 2026-11-08T09:31:12Z

## d1 — Which pricing page?
**APPROVE** · go with B
> B, but tighter type

## Anything else
nothing else

/mock-review lists the reviews in a session, /mock-review r-3k9-1f2 answers one review's marks, and (help :mock-review) repeats all of it to the model. (mockreview:feedback \"r-3k9-1f2\") and (mockreview:list-reviews) are the same two by hand.

A submission is refused when it carries nothing, when it carries the wrong review's submit token, and — with require_note_on_change — when a decision is marked Change with no note. Every refusal is ERROR: MOCK-REVIEW-ERROR with the reason.

What it is not

The original's public hosting, wake webhook, tailnet links, pins on a live page, design profiles, passwords and headless-browser checks are left out; NOTICE says what each needed and why.
