sooo i tried using the new b4 review TUI for my last U-Boot PR and it was a bit of a disaster. I understand the process being a bit clunky to begin with but the whole process of actually setting up a branch was really involved. It failed to update a bunch of series on pathwork, and the b4 ty emails it generated had completely wrong commit SHAs

I get that the intention is primarily patch review but even for that it feels less like a tool i can utilise to automate the process and more like an imposed workflow that offers little flexibility

the thing that really pissed me off in the end though was realising that b4 review was VIBE CODED, kinda explains everything... This tool had so much potential but i struggle to see now how it will deliver when AI is involved in building it
