fix(ci): stop Agent Shin reconsider from triggering on bot comments

[devin-ai-integration]

TLDR

Problem this solves:

• Agent Shin's own comments re-trigger the reconsider workflow
• Every sweep close comment spawned a doomed unauthorized run

How it solves it:

• Job now skips comments authored by bots
• Human authors and collaborators are unaffected

User Flow

Before: a maintainer watching the Agent Shin triage sweep gets a burst of pointless workflow runs, one per PR the sweep touched

1. The sweep posts its close comment on a PR, e.g. proto(mcp): per-user env-var fields demo flow (UI mockup) #28399, and that comment tells the contributor to reply @agent-shin reconsider to bring the PR back
2. Because the comment body contains that phrase, the reconsider workflow triggers on the bot's own comment
3. The maintainer opens https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/actions/workflows/triage_reconsider.yml and sees a run per closed PR, each one green but doing nothing except logging that devin-ai-integration[bot] is not authorized
4. The noise repeats on every sweep, so a real contributor reconsider is hard to spot in the run list

After: the same sweep leaves the reconsider run list clean, so the only runs there are real contributor requests

1. The sweep posts the same close comment on the same PR, with the same @agent-shin reconsider instructions
2. No reconsider run is created at all, since the comment came from a bot
3. The maintainer opens the same Actions page and sees only runs triggered by humans
4. A contributor who actually comments @agent-shin reconsider still gets the 👀 reaction and a verdict, exactly as before

Pre-Submission checklist

• I have added meaningful tests
• My PR passes all CI/CD checks (e.g., lint, format, unit tests)
• My PR's scope is as isolated as possible; it only solves 1 specific problem
• I have received a Greptile Confidence Score of at least 4/5 before requesting a maintainer review

No tests: the change is a GitHub Actions if: expression, which has no test harness in this repo. The trigger data below is from the real events

Screenshots / Proof of Fix

issue_comment workflows always run from the default branch, so the new gate cannot execute from a PR branch. Before is the live behavior on litellm_internal_staging, After is the same real event payload evaluated against the new condition

Before (f4b46c8)

1. List the reconsider runs from today's sweep

$ gh run list --workflow triage_reconsider.yml -L 200 --json conclusion,createdAt,displayTitle \
    | jq -r '[.[] | select(.conclusion != "skipped")] | .[] | "\(.createdAt)  \(.displayTitle)"'
2026-08-19T21:36:09Z  proto(mcp): per-user env-var fields demo flow (UI mockup)
2026-08-19T21:36:06Z  prototype(ui): per-user fields for MCP servers (mock/throwaway)
2026-08-19T21:36:03Z  feat(mcp): per-server env vars with global + per-user scopes
2026-08-19T21:36:01Z  feat(mcp): add admin-declared per-user fields for MCP servers
2026-08-19T21:35:58Z  fix(proxy): make pass-through auth checks method-aware
2026-08-19T21:35:55Z  fix(bedrock): forward clear_tool_uses context_management on Invoke route
2026-08-19T21:35:54Z  fix(azure): preserve AD token refresh in v1 OpenAI client path
2026-08-19T21:35:52Z  fix(proxy): keep the model-group alias through vector store credential merges

Eight runs in 17 seconds, all of them from the sweep's own comments rather than from any contributor

2. Read what one of those runs actually did

$ gh run view 32304710883 --log | grep -E "COMMENTER: |not authorized"
COMMENTER: devin-ai-integration[bot]
##[notice]Commenter 'devin-ai-integration[bot]' (CONTRIBUTOR) is not authorized to trigger reconsider; skipping subsequent steps.

Every later step (reaction, checkout, Python setup, the LLM judge) was skipped, so the run could never have produced a verdict

After (fe97a9d)

1. Pull the triggering comment from the same run and check it against the new condition

$ gh api repos/BerriAI/litellm/issues/comments/5348285161 \
    -q '{login: .user.login, type: .user.type, has_phrase: (.body | contains("@agent-shin reconsider"))}'
{"has_phrase":true,"login":"devin-ai-integration[bot]","type":"Bot"}

github.event.comment.user.type != 'Bot' is false and !endsWith(github.event.comment.user.login, '[bot]') is false, so the job condition is false and no run is created for any of those eight comments

2. Confirm a human reconsider still passes the gate

$ gh api repos/BerriAI/litellm/issues/comments/5348285161 -q .author_association
CONTRIBUTOR

The added clauses only look at the commenter's account type, so the existing author / OWNER / MEMBER / COLLABORATOR authorization step is what still decides human comments

Type

🚄 Infrastructure

Caveats (if any)

• Takes effect once merged to the default branch
• A bot-authored PR can no longer self-reconsider

Greptile Summary

The PR prevents bot-authored comments from starting the Agent Shin reconsider job while preserving reconsider requests from human commenters.

• Adds checks for GitHub bot account type and the conventional [bot] login suffix.
• Explicitly excludes the oss-agent-shin account.
• Documents why bot comments must be filtered at the job boundary.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no actionable defects identified.

The new condition applies only to bot-authored issue comments, uses fields available on the configured issue-comment event, and leaves the existing human reconsider and authorization flow unchanged.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
.github/workflows/triage_reconsider.yml	Adds valid job-level bot identity filters to suppress self-triggered reconsider runs without changing human authorization behavior.
