Background Tasks
Fix Jobs
Press F on a completed review to open the inline fix panel at the
bottom of the review view. You can optionally type custom instructions
for the fix agent, or leave it blank for defaults. Press Enter to
submit, Esc to cancel.
While the fix panel is open, Tab toggles focus between the review
content (for scrolling) and the fix input. The panel border is magenta
when focused and gray when inactive.
From the queue view, pressing F fetches the review and opens the fix
panel in one step.
The fix runs in an isolated git worktree checked out at the reviewed commit (not HEAD), so the patch is always generated against the correct revision. This prevents conflicts when the working tree has moved on since the review.
Results appear in the Tasks view (T). While the fix runs, you can
continue browsing reviews normally.
Tasks View
Press T from the queue view to switch to the Tasks view, which shows
all fix jobs and their status.

Applying and Rebasing Patches
Press A on a completed fix job to apply the generated patch and
commit it to your working tree. The parent review is automatically
closed when the patch is applied.
If the patch conflicts with the current state of your working tree
(e.g. because new commits landed after the review), roborev offers to
re-run the fix against current HEAD. Press R to trigger a rebase:
the agent receives the original patch as context and produces a new
patch targeting the current code.
