      - name: 'Boy Scout Scope'
        instructions: |
          If the PR includes changes beyond the primary issue/task, verify:
          - All opportunistic fixes are confined to files already edited for the main change
          - Changes are small, low-risk, and improve clarity/maintainability
          - The PR description contains a "Boy Scout changes" section listing these edits
          - No unrelated module-wide refactor is included

      - name: 'PR Label Required'
        instructions: |
          Every PR must carry at least one release-category label. Accepted labels:
          - PR: Feature, PR: Enhancement, PR: Bug, PR: Performance, PR: Refactor, PR: Infrastructure
          - documentation, dependencies
          If no matching label is present, leave a comment asking the author to add one before merging.
          Do NOT approve the PR until a valid label is applied.

      - name: 'German Gender-Inclusive Language'
        instructions: |
          When changes are made to `messages/de.json`, verify that German translations use gender-inclusive language:
          - Person-related nouns must use the gender star (*) or neutral participle forms
          - Examples of correct forms: "Teilnehmende", "Nutzer*in", "Betreuer*innen", "Administrator*in", "Delegierte*r"
          - Examples of incorrect forms: "Teilnehmer", "Benutzer", "Betreuer", "Administrator", "Delegierter"
          - Exceptions: Technical terms (e.g., "Benutzer-ID"), non-person references (e.g., "Helfer-Skripte"), and historical references
          - Compound words referring to people should also be gendered (e.g., "Delegationsleiter*in" not "Delegationsleiter")
          - Neutral words like "Mitglied" or "Person" do not need gendering
