+## Verdict: APPROVED (posted as COMMENT due to Gitea self-approval restriction)
+
+### PR Summary
+Fixes #28. `/admin-maintenance` previously showed a success embed but never changed state. This PR implements the actual flag.
+
+### Files Reviewed
+- `bot.py` — added `self.maintenance_mode: bool = False` to `SBABot.__init__`; registered `@self.tree.interaction_check` inside `setup_hook` to block non-admin users when flag is set
+- `commands/admin/management.py` — wired `self.bot.maintenance_mode = is_enabling`, added logger.info, removed no-op comment; rest is formatting cleanup
+
+### Key Findings
+- Pattern is correct: nested function in `setup_hook` captures `self` via closure, always reads live flag value
+- Admin bypass uses `isinstance(interaction.user, discord.Member) and interaction.user.guild_permissions.administrator` — mirrors existing `AdminCommands.interaction_check` pattern
+- No double-response risk: ephemeral message sent before returning `False`
+- `self.bot.maintenance_mode` typed as `commands.Bot` not `SBABot` — runtime safe, would fail strict mypy (pre-existing pattern, not blocked)
+- No new tests added; acceptable for simple boolean flag feature
+
+### Patterns Noted
+- `@self.tree.interaction_check` inside `setup_hook` is idiomatic discord.py for global interaction gates
+- `EmbedTemplate.create_base_embed()` correctly used when title contains custom emoji (per CLAUDE.md rule)
+
+### Meta
+- Gitea blocks self-approval on own PRs — reviewer must post as COMMENT in this case
