VERDICT: approve

FINDINGS:
- [src/colonyos/instructions/ci_fix.md]: Well-scoped prompt template with explicit prohibitions on refactoring and feature additions. Minor follow-up: consider prohibiting `# type: ignore` / `# noqa` "cheat" fixes that LLMs commonly reach for.
- [src/colonyos/ci.py]: `format_ci_failures_as_prompt()` uses structured `<ci_failure_log>` XML delimiters with sanitized content and aggregate cap — this is the right way to feed multi-failure context to a model.
- [src/colonyos/sanitize.py]: Two-pass sanitization (XML tag stripping + secret regex) is defense-in-depth done right. The high-entropy base64 heuristic near keywords is a smart addition. Acceptable false-positive rate for a security-critical path.
- [src/colonyos/ci.py]: Tail-biased truncation (`_truncate_tail_biased`) is exactly correct for LLM consumption — errors live at the bottom of logs.
- [src/colonyos/ci.py]: `check_pr_author_mismatch()` addresses the prompt injection vector from foreign PRs with a soft warning and graceful degradation.
- [src/colonyos/orchestrator.py]: Budget guard + `max_retries` provide two independent circuit breakers for the autonomous CI fix loop. RunLog persisted before entering the loop prevents data loss on crash.
- [src/colonyos/ci.py]: `collect_ci_failure_context()` deduplicates by `run_id` — matrix builds sharing a workflow run only fetch logs once.
- [src/colonyos/config.py]: `CIFixConfig` defaults to `enabled: false` — conservative and backward-compatible.
- [tests/]: All 464 tests pass with comprehensive coverage across all modules.

SYNTHESIS:
This is a well-architected feature that treats the LLM agent with the right level of rigor. The prompt design is solid: structured XML delimiters with explicit scoping rules, sanitized inputs, and tail-biased log truncation all show awareness of how to feed context to a model effectively. The dual-layer sanitization is the right call for defense-in-depth when injecting untrusted CI logs into agent prompts. The budget guard and retry cap provide necessary bounding for autonomous operation — two independent circuit breakers prevent runaway spend. The code follows existing project patterns faithfully, and test coverage is comprehensive. The only minor gap for a follow-up is adding prompt-level guardrails against common LLM "cheat" fixes (`# type: ignore`, `# noqa` annotations) — but that's a refinement, not a blocker. Ship it.
