#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Review a single agent session against verifier rules using claude CLI.

Calls ``claude -p --model haiku`` to evaluate a session transcript against
checklist rules. No API key needed — uses the user's existing claude
credentials.

Assembles a system prompt (review-prompt + rules) and user prompt
(transcript wrapped in <transcript> tags), pipes through claude, then
extracts the JSON verdict from the response envelope.

No external dependencies (calls claude CLI via subprocess).

Usage:
    python3 review_session.py --transcript <path> --rules <path> --output <path> \
      [--review-prompt <path>] [--model haiku]
