From aa813c8089b40cde68956132c1eb10793bfa58b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Wiesebron Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 15:26:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [bump-installed-reviewer-1.11.0] review: bump installed reviewer to review-v1.11.0 ## Why The reviewer installed on this repo (`.github/workflows/review.md`) has been pinned at `review-v1.7.0` since #276 (2026-07-21), four releases behind the shared source. Everything the shared package has shipped since then runs in consuming repos but not here, including one change that makes an existing setting in our own `ROUTING` inert: - **v1.8.0 patch 034181f**: gh-aw's safe-output sanitizer strips XML/HTML comments, so the hidden fingerprint stamp a review body carries never reached the PR; every re-review planned `no-prior-fingerprint` and escalated to full depth. Our `ROUTING` has said `re-review scoped` since #277, and on v1.7.0 that dial does nothing. The plan CLI now falls back to the Step 9 cache-memory record and reports `stampSource`. - **v1.8.0**: the deterministic-orchestrator slices land. Staging becomes a `pre-agent-steps:` step (`lib/stage-pr.ts`), scripted dispatch becomes the only mode (the ROUTING `dispatch` dial is retired; we never set it), Steps 4-6 become code (`lib/submission-plan.ts`), and the dispatch-conformance gate blocks a verdict whose sub-agent outputs do not exist (the v1.7.0 acceptance trial caught the orchestrator submitting a REQUEST_CHANGES after dispatching zero sub-agents). - **v1.9.0/v1.10.0**: open-thread suppression actually fires (it was unreachable on every conforming run, so re-reviews re-posted findings an open bot thread already tracked), `threads.json` / `human-threads.json` are staged by code, and a suppression is attributed to its best-matching thread rather than the first one it clears. - **v1.11.0**: a sub-agent the provider blocks is named as a refusal rather than "malformed output", failure detail and per-agent tool-call counts are kept, and a refused reviewer falls back to `claude-opus-4-8` instead of silently costing coverage. Also picked up: Gerald `.github/NOTIFIED` support, the per-lens consumer payload seam, and the `documentation` reviewer (opt-in; not enabled here). ## Why not `gh aw update` Same as #276: gh-aw's `resolveLatestRef` rejects changesets-style prefixed tags (`review-v1.11.0`) as non-semver, falls through to branch resolution, and 404s. Updates of this workflow stay manual. ## What this PR does - Replicates `gh aw update`'s 3-way merge by hand: base = `review-v1.7.0` source, ours = installed copy, theirs = `review-v1.11.0` source (identical to current main), then `gh aw compile review`. - **Two local overrides retire, because upstream now carries them.** `timeout-minutes: 40` is the shared default as of v1.8.0 (82af000), and the `sandbox.agent.version: v0.27.27` pin plus the `models:` claude-fable-5 pricing block were removed at source in 98f686f. Both override comments said they went away at this bump; they do. - **The remaining differences are the documented overrides and nothing else**, enforced by `review-pins.test.ts`: the same-repo fork guard in `if:` and its `roles: all` comment (public-repo hardening), the commented-out `observability:` block (the `GH_AW_OTEL_SENTRY_*` secrets still exist neither on this repo nor at org level), `max-ai-credits: 2500` with its `REVIEW_MAX_AI_CREDITS` mirror, and the comment on the lib checkout `ref:`. - `source:` and the lib checkout `ref:` both move to `review-v1.11.0` in lockstep, and the recompiled lock picks up the new pre-agent staging step, the dispatcher's `npm ci`, the dispatch-conformance gate `post-steps` step, and `BASH_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS: 1200000` (the blocking dispatcher call). - No consumer-config change is needed: `.github/aw/review/ROUTING` carries no retired `dispatch` line, no `correctness-checks.md` alias to migrate, and the new `documentation` reviewer stays off until a repo adds `enable documentation`. ## Verification - `pnpm test`: 1618 tests across 69 files pass, including `review-pins.test.ts` (source/ref/lock literals all `review-v1.11.0`, and every hunk against the pinned source carries a `KHAN/ACTIONS LOCAL OVERRIDE` marker) and `version-sync.test.ts`. - `pnpm typecheck`: clean. - `gh aw compile review`: 0 errors, 0 warnings. - No changeset needed: both files are under `.github/`, the check's default exclusion, and the shared `workflows/review` package is untouched. --- .github/workflows/review.lock.yml | 59 +- .github/workflows/review.md | 1715 ++++++++++++----------------- 2 files changed, 725 insertions(+), 1049 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/review.lock.yml b/.github/workflows/review.lock.yml index 38001ff4..0c76be11 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/review.lock.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/review.lock.yml @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# gh-aw-metadata: {"schema_version":"v4","frontmatter_hash":"8affe6256859da81c7756f1a829e89dcd3a1d726af2b22737312ee3fdb025918","body_hash":"51defa676770bce7b6c9a6f10b8114d8bd2b37041282944eabba8b0fec81ddc0","compiler_version":"v0.83.4","strict":true,"agent_id":"claude","agent_model":"claude-opus-4-8","engine_versions":{"claude":"2.1.220"}} +# gh-aw-metadata: {"schema_version":"v4","frontmatter_hash":"801a581fb490cf6f59949ce4eebd34f56a3c0c77f5ac38ffb4cfd1c2d24acd49","body_hash":"29ac56dff833ab979ff832b76ffb1699b93a93c72f40382f0e5ef305621c98ed","compiler_version":"v0.83.4","strict":true,"agent_id":"claude","agent_model":"claude-opus-4-8","engine_versions":{"claude":"2.1.220"}} # gh-aw-manifest: {"version":1,"secrets":["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY","COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN","GH_AW_GITHUB_MCP_SERVER_TOKEN","GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN","GITHUB_TOKEN","KHAN_ACTIONS_BOT_TOKEN"],"actions":[{"repo":"actions/cache/restore","sha":"55cc8345863c7cc4c66a329aec7e433d2d1c52a9","version":"v6.1.0"},{"repo":"actions/cache/save","sha":"55cc8345863c7cc4c66a329aec7e433d2d1c52a9","version":"v6.1.0"},{"repo":"actions/checkout","sha":"3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1","version":"v7.0.1"},{"repo":"actions/checkout","sha":"93cb6efe18208431cddfb8368fd83d5badbf9bfd","version":"93cb6efe18208431cddfb8368fd83d5badbf9bfd"},{"repo":"actions/download-artifact","sha":"3e5f45b2cfb9172054b4087a40e8e0b5a5461e7c","version":"v8.0.1"},{"repo":"actions/github-script","sha":"3a2844b7e9c422d3c10d287c895573f7108da1b3","version":"v9.0.0"},{"repo":"actions/setup-node","sha":"820762786026740c76f36085b0efc47a31fe5020","version":"v7.0.0"},{"repo":"actions/upload-artifact","sha":"043fb46d1a93c77aae656e7c1c64a875d1fc6a0a","version":"v7.0.1"},{"repo":"github/gh-aw-actions/setup","sha":"e89c65e17eb281bbd5ff2ff9e9199a03e96654c7","version":"v0.83.4"}],"containers":[{"image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-firewall/agent:0.27.42","digest":"sha256:26a8af4e5566485b02f52af59ee03803ae798271a9619d4767e94d07806deb9b","pinned_image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-firewall/agent:0.27.42@sha256:26a8af4e5566485b02f52af59ee03803ae798271a9619d4767e94d07806deb9b"},{"image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-firewall/api-proxy:0.27.42","digest":"sha256:944f2686c9ab9bec338fd14b662461662f77cd12cd0ea8a3e7cb8c0987cd1607","pinned_image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-firewall/api-proxy:0.27.42@sha256:944f2686c9ab9bec338fd14b662461662f77cd12cd0ea8a3e7cb8c0987cd1607"},{"image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-firewall/squid:0.27.42","digest":"sha256:42dfeb649c680a8558cd5423dbc530b653a69413e35ffbe5e71da5d48c94bdf0","pinned_image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-firewall/squid:0.27.42@sha256:42dfeb649c680a8558cd5423dbc530b653a69413e35ffbe5e71da5d48c94bdf0"},{"image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-mcpg:v0.4.6","digest":"sha256:fecabec51bbc41f2ad61076d6bcd9a36ef23b142e672a444e054d37fc29de93c","pinned_image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-mcpg:v0.4.6@sha256:fecabec51bbc41f2ad61076d6bcd9a36ef23b142e672a444e054d37fc29de93c"},{"image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-node","digest":"sha256:a8082161d7dceda14b68f32eb39d0eaa96b825d07f5895b096afab9d9e0c7748","pinned_image":"ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-node@sha256:a8082161d7dceda14b68f32eb39d0eaa96b825d07f5895b096afab9d9e0c7748"},{"image":"ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server:v1.7.0","digest":"sha256:c491ffdf6f4c85cb5397021bc655edb8ab825c6f5f568e7597d77a1bd7c4d308","pinned_image":"ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server:v1.7.0@sha256:c491ffdf6f4c85cb5397021bc655edb8ab825c6f5f568e7597d77a1bd7c4d308"}],"has_pull_request":true} # This file was automatically generated by gh-aw (v0.83.4).

The correctness candidates still flow through the provenance - gate, the scope filter, and Phase 3 validation exactly as written; the flip rule - in Step 4 is what makes their validated blocking findings veto an approval flip. -- **`depth: fast`**: skip `pattern-triage` and dispatch in Phase 2 only - `thread-reconciler`. There are no finding-producing reviewers, so Phase 3 is - skipped; Steps 4 to 6 run on the reconciler's result and the flip rule (Step 4). - -On a reduced depth (`scoped`, `flip-gated`, `fast`), Step 7 posts no new -risks/patterns comment and Step 9 carries `risksPatternsKey` forward unchanged (the -reduced run computed no triage or risk data to compare), and Step 8 requests no new -reviewers when `correctness-reviewer` did not run. Also queue one note line for the -review body (Step 6), exactly: -`Note: re-review ran at depth (re-review mode ).` -When the plan's `tripwireRearmed` is true, queue instead, exactly: -`Note: divergence tripwire re-armed a full review (unreviewed share ).` - -**Phase 1 — triage (first, alone).** Dispatch **`pattern-triage`**. It returns -`patterns[]` (common cross-file change patterns; on approval they go in the -risk/patterns comment, Step 7) and `reviewFiles` (the files that need a real review — -it has already dropped generated, formatting-only, and pattern-only files). Then write, -under `/tmp/gh-aw/review/`: `pr.diff` (the patches of the `reviewFiles`) and -`review-files.json` (the `reviewFiles` list). Then annotate the review diff once, -deterministically: +`full` when too much of the diff is unreviewed. The dispatcher implements each depth (the +roster it dispatches and the diff surfaces it stages are depth-dependent), and +the plan CLI renders the depth and tripwire notes into the review body; none of +it is yours to adjust. + +**The review threads are already staged (deterministic code).** The pre-agent +staging step fetched every unresolved review thread on this PR and split it into +two files; you neither fetch nor write them (a re-fetch only burns context, and +the split is exactly the kind of classification a prompt cannot guarantee: +misfiling one bot thread as human costs a dropped finding, per +`human-threads.json` below): +- `/tmp/gh-aw/review/threads.json`: the unresolved threads THIS bot opened, + each with `thread_id`, `path`, `line`, `resolved` (always `false` here), + `url` (the first comment's `html_url`, omitted when the API returned none), + and its **full reply chain** as `comments`: every comment in order, each + `{author, body}`, the author's replies included, each body byte-for-byte as + the API returned it. The dispatcher's reconciler dispatch and the + accountability section read this file from disk. Read it yourself only for + the one judgment below. +- `/tmp/gh-aw/review/human-threads.json`: the `{path, line}` of every + unresolved thread somebody ELSE opened. These mark lines where a human review + conversation is already open, so the dispatcher defers there and posts no bot + comment on them. + +**The pipeline.** Step 3 runs as ONE deterministic program; your part is +exactly this sequence: +1. Read `threads.json`. If any staged bot thread's reply chain shows the author + factually disputing a claim on the merits, write + `/tmp/gh-aw/review/author-disputes.json`: a list of `{path, line, quote}` + (the author's grounds, short and verbatim). Skip the file when there are + none. This is the only thread work left to you: what a reply chain concedes + or refutes is a judgment, while fetching and classifying the threads is not. +2. Invoke the dispatcher, once, as a single Bash call with `timeout` set to + `1200000` (it waits for the whole sub-agent fan-out; the engine's Bash + ceiling is raised for exactly this call): ``` -cd gh-aw-review-lib && npx -y tsx workflows/review/lib/provenance.ts annotate \ - /tmp/gh-aw/review/pr.diff /tmp/gh-aw/review/pr-annotated.diff +cd gh-aw-review-lib && REVIEW_REPO_ROOT="$GITHUB_WORKSPACE" \ + npx -y tsx workflows/review/lib/dispatch.ts ``` -`pr-annotated.diff` (each content line prefixed with its real line number) is what -the correctness and skills reviewers read; `pr.diff` stays raw for every code -parser. If `reviewFiles` is empty, -skip the correctness and skills work below but still report any patterns (Step 7). The -files `pattern-triage` **excluded** — every changed file in `files.json` that is **not** -in `reviewFiles`, each generated, formatting-only, or pattern-only — are surfaced in the -guidance comment (Step 7) and recorded in the `pattern-triage.json` artifact (Step 9) so a -human can catch a wrongly-skipped file and the eval suite can score the false-exclusion -rate. - -**Phase 2 — review (in parallel).** First fetch existing review threads -(`pull_request_read` `get_review_comments`) and stage two files from them (leave all -other threads untouched): -- `/tmp/gh-aw/review/threads.json` — the unresolved `github-actions[bot]` threads. For - each write `thread_id`, `path`, `line`, `url` — the `html_url` of the thread's - **first** comment, from the same `get_review_comments` output (omit the field if the - output carries none) — and its **full reply chain** as - `comments`: every comment in the thread in order, each `{author, body}` — including - the author's replies, not just the bot's opening comment. Stage each `body` - **verbatim as the tool returned it**, markdown formatting included — do not - reformat, summarize, or strip `**` wrappers; the accountability renderer parses - the leading `**label:**` template off these bodies (it tolerates a - markdown-stripped form, but verbatim is the contract). The reply chain is what - lets the `thread-reconciler` weigh the author's response, and `url` is what lets the - re-review accountability section (Step 6) link each still-open thread to its prior - comment. -- `/tmp/gh-aw/review/human-threads.json` — the `{path, line}` of every **unresolved - thread started by a human** (any author other than `github-actions[bot]`). These - are never resolved or replied to; they mark lines where a human review conversation - is already open, so the bot defers there (Step 5). - -The **router** -(above) already decided the routing — team ownership is in `routing.json`, -`lensesToSpawn` names the path-triggered specialist lenses to dispatch, and -`enabledReviewers` names the opt-in reviewers the repo has turned on (none of -either run by default; a reviewer earns its `enable` line through the eval suite, -not by shipping). Dispatch the default reviewers (`correctness-reviewer`, -`skill-auditor`, `thread-reconciler`) **plus** every reviewer named in -`enabledReviewers` **plus** every lens named in `lensesToSpawn`, all **in parallel** -(one turn), and wait for all. If `runBudget.maxReviewerInvocations` cannot fit -that whole set, fill the slots by the dispatch ranking (the budget rule below: -Step 3, graceful-landing bucket 1): defaults first, then matched lenses, then -the targeted opt-in dimensions, then the generic ones. Never choose arbitrarily, and record every -reviewer left undispatched as a planned shed (Step 6 note). - -**One candidate contract.** Every finding-producing reviewer returns `findings[]` -in the same shape (a `label` per finding, from the fixed label set in Step 4); a -specialist lens returns the structured finding schema instead, and the deterministic -normalization step below converts each lens finding into that same label-bearing -candidate shape before anything downstream sees it. What each one reviews and how is -its own definition's concern, not yours: treat all candidates **cumulatively and -identically**, whoever produced them — they feed the scope filter (below), -validation (Phase 3), the verdict (Step 4), and the inline comments (Step 5) -through the exact same path, no per-reviewer handling. Two sub-agents extend that -contract: - -- **`correctness-reviewer`** — additionally returns `files[]` (a risk level per - file). Use `files[]` for the risk/patterns comment (Step 7) and reviewer routing - (Step 8). -- **`thread-reconciler`** — reads the staged bot threads (with their reply chains) and - the open human-thread lines, and returns `{resolve: [...], keep: [...], skipLines: - [{path, line}, …]}`. Resolve each `thread_id` in `resolve` with the - `resolve-pull-request-review-thread` safe output (yours to do — sub-agents cannot); - never reply to a thread, and for a `keep` thread do not open a duplicate comment in - Step 5. `skipLines` are the lines with an open human thread: do not post a bot - comment on any of them (Step 5). - -**Specialist lenses (`routing.json` `lensesToSpawn`) — structured-schema output.** The -specialist lenses do **not** emit the label-bearing shape. Each returns the **structured -finding schema**: `{"findings": [], "hunts": [{"hunt", "state"}]}`, where every -`` carries `schema_version`, `id`, `lens`, `anchor`, `severity` -(`blocking`/`advisory`), `confidence`, `evidence_trace`, `failure_scenario` (the -concrete failing scenario the claim-validator attacks), `producing_hunt`, -`model_authored_prose`, and optional `suggested_patch` / `pre_merge_obligation`. A -dispatched lens also owns its domain's best-practice skills -for the run: it reads the repo skills index and applies the relevant skill's rules, -carrying the skill's declared severity into the finding's `severity`, while the -`skill-auditor` skips lens-owned skills so no rule is audited twice. - -**Normalize each lens finding into a candidate comment (code-owned label).** A lens -finding has no Conventional-Comment `label` — the label is computed **in code**, never by -the model: `blocking` → `issue (blocking)`, `advisory` → `suggestion (non-blocking)` (a -lens is a correctness/risk lens, so it renders as a plain label, not a `, best-practice` -variant). Take the candidate's `path`/`line` from the finding's `anchor` (a `line` anchor → -`path`+`line`; a `pr` anchor → a top-level review comment with no line), its comment -text from `model_authored_prose` (with `suggested_patch` as the fix block; for a skill -finding carrying `rule_quote`, append the quoted rule to the candidate's `discussion` -as a `> **Rule:** ` blockquote between the prose and the fix block, -matching the shared lib's `renderComment` — the quote is skill-file text copied -verbatim, and it is what lets the author read the actual rule instead of a -paraphrase), and its -`failure_scenario` verbatim (it rides into `claims.json` for the validator). After this -normalization a lens finding is a candidate in the **same** shape as every other -reviewer's, so it flows through the identical scope-filter → `claims.json` → verdict → -inline-comment path with no separate gate. Record each lens's `hunts[]` tri-state -(`ran` / `not-applicable` / `found`) alongside its findings in the lens's `out/.json` -artifact (below); the hunts are provenance/metrics, not comments, so they are not posted. - -**Route out-of-lane observations into the candidate set (code-owned label).** The -`skill-auditor` and every specialist lens may return `out_of_lane_observations[]` -alongside their findings: real concerns their own mandate does not let them report -(for the skill-auditor, a concern that is not a quotable skill-rule violation; for a -lens, a concern outside its domain). Do not discard these. Convert each observation -into a candidate comment in the same label-bearing shape as every other candidate: -`path`/`line` from the observation, `subject` from its `observation` text verbatim, -`failure_scenario` verbatim, and the label **`question (non-blocking)`** — the label -is code-assigned, never model-chosen: an out-of-lane observation is a handoff, not a -vetted finding, so it can never block on its own (and the `claim-validator` never -upgrades severity). Set the candidate's `source` to `" (out-of-lane)"`. From -here each one flows through the identical change-provenance gate → scope filter → -`claims.json` → validation → posting path as every other candidate — do not shortcut -one past validation, and do not drop one because its producer was unsure of its lane -(that uncertainty is exactly why it is handed to the validator). - -Parse each sub-agent's JSON and keep only the compact result. As you parse each one, -also write its raw JSON verbatim to `/tmp/gh-aw/review/out/.json` (create the -`out/` directory if needed) — one file per dispatched sub-agent, named after it, -whatever roster this run dispatched (a lens's file includes both its `findings[]` -and its `hunts[]` tri-state record). These files are uploaded -as a run-scoped artifact at the end (Step 9) so a human can inspect exactly what each -reviewer produced. If a sub-agent's output is missing or unparseable, do **not** try to -reproduce its analysis yourself — you no longer hold its repo-specific config (risk -tiers, the CI-tooling list, the skills index). Skip that dimension for this run: track it -as a skipped dimension and surface the gap with the skipped-dimension note in Step 6 so -the author can see it was not assessed, and write whatever raw text you did get (or a -short `{"error": "..."}` note) to its `out/` file so the gap is visible in the artifact. - -**Gate the candidates by change provenance (code-computed).** A finding must trace -to the change: introduced by it, or a pre-existing defect the diff materially -amplifies (in which case it anchors on the amplifying added/modified line and says -so). Enforce this mechanically against `/tmp/gh-aw/review/provenance.json` (written -by the provenance CLI above), before the scope filter below: - -- A candidate is **change-anchored** when it has no line (a PR-level comment), or - when its `path` has an entry in `provenance.json` and its `line` appears in that - entry's `added` or `removedAdjacent` list (candidates carry RIGHT-side lines; - `removedAdjacent` is what lets a deletion finding, anchored beside the removed - code, pass). Change-anchored candidates continue through the pipeline untouched. -- A RIGHT-side (or side-less) candidate that is not change-anchored but whose - `line` has an entry in - `provenance.json`'s `snap` map (`snap[][]`) is a **near-miss - mis-anchor**; apply the **anchor-snap** fallback. Reviewers sometimes anchor a - finding about a changed line a few lines off, or count unified-diff text lines - instead of file lines and land past the file's actual end; the `snap` map - precomputes exactly which lines that pathology can produce and where each one - belongs. A LEFT-side candidate never snaps (the map is RIGHT-side only). - Rewrite the candidate's `line` to the mapped value, then treat it as - change-anchored from here on (it continues through the pipeline and posts at - the snapped line, keeping its severity). Record every snap in - `/tmp/gh-aw/review/out/snapped.json` (one entry per snapped candidate: the - finding's `id`, `path`, the original line as `from`, the snapped line as `to`) - so the run artifact keeps each rewrite auditable. For a range candidate - (`start_line` set), check each line of the range ascending and use the first - mapped entry; the snapped candidate becomes single-line. The map is the entire - rule: never snap by judgment, and a line with no entry does not snap. -- Every other candidate is a **pre-existing observation**. It does not count - toward the verdict and it does not post to the PR at all — not as its own - comment and not in any collapsed section: remove it from the candidate set now, - before validation. Write the removed set to - `/tmp/gh-aw/review/out/pre-existing.json` (one entry per observation: the - finding's `id`, anchor, and prose) so the run artifact keeps the gate's - set-asides inspectable; the artifact is their only destination. A pre-existing - issue important enough to surface must anchor on a line the diff actually - touches (the "materially amplifies" rule above) — anything that cannot meet - that bar is not this PR's feedback. -- **Fail open.** If `provenance.json` is missing or its `warnings` list is - non-empty (the staged diff could not be parsed), skip this gate entirely (gate - nothing) and surface the gap as a `Note:` line in the review body - (Step 6), so a staging bug degrades to the ungated behavior rather than silently - demoting every finding. - -This gate is positional and mechanical; it never judges content. The -`correctness-reviewer`'s pre-existing-bug rule (flag only on touched lines) keeps -producers aligned with it, and the amplification rule (a pre-existing mechanism may -block only when the diff materially amplifies its consequence, stated in the -finding) is validated by the `claim-validator` in Phase 3. - -**Scope the candidate comments to newly-changed code.** Now filter the cumulative -`findings[]` from every dispatched reviewer and lens against the new-code scope from -Step 1 (`/tmp/gh-aw/review/new-scope.json`). This is what stops the reviewer from -re-commenting on code a previous review already covered: -- If `priorReview` is `false` (first review of this PR), keep everything — nothing has - been reviewed yet. -- Otherwise **drop** any finding whose (`path`, `line`) is not an in-scope - line in `inScope` — that code is unchanged since the last review, so it was already - covered (this holds across force-pushes and rebases because the scope is content-based). - **One exception:** keep a dropped candidate that carries a plain blocking label - (`issue (blocking)` or `todo (blocking)`) — a genuine blocking bug is worth - surfacing even if a change elsewhere introduced it on previously-reviewed lines. - Every other label — nits, suggestions, questions, notes, and all best-practice - findings — is scoped strictly to new code (re-flagging best-practice or style - points on unchanged code is exactly the noise being removed here). - -This filter applies **only** to the inline-comment candidates. `files[]` risk levels, -patterns, and ownership still reflect the whole PR, so Steps 7 and 8 are unaffected. The -findings that survive this filter are the candidate set the rest of Step 3 -acts on. (The existing `thread-reconciler` dedup remains a second layer: even an in-scope -line that duplicates a still-open thread must not open a duplicate comment, Step 5.) - -**Phase 3 — validate the claims (only when there are candidate comments).** The -candidate inline comments are **all** the surviving findings from Phase 2 (after the -scope filter above), from every dispatched reviewer and lens, cumulatively. If the -whole set is empty, skip this phase entirely — there is nothing to -post, so nothing to validate. Otherwise give each candidate a short stable `id` and write -the combined list to `/tmp/gh-aw/review/claims.json` — each entry: `id`, `source` -(the producing reviewer/lens name), `path`, `line`, `label`, `subject`, `discussion`, -`failure_scenario` (the producer's concrete failing scenario, copied verbatim; it is -the specific claim the validator attacks), -any `suggestion`, (for a best-practice finding) its `skill`, and `confidence` (the -finding `confidence` in [0,1] where the producer emitted one — every specialist lens -does; for a label-shape reviewer that carries no confidence, default it to `0.7`, -i.e. above the medium posting bar, so an un-scored real finding is not hidden). This -`confidence` is the field the validator's verification may lower and the posting bar -(Step 5) reads. One more field: when a candidate re-raises a point the author has -**factually disputed** in a staged bot thread (`threads.json`, Phase 2 — the reply -chain shows the author contesting the claim on the merits, not just pushing back on -taste), copy the author's grounds onto the entry as `author_dispute` (a short quote). -Carry every finding's own `label` verbatim — producers own their -labels, and for a specialist lens the label is the code-computed one from the -normalization step, never model-authored. Then -dispatch **`claim-validator`**, which re-checks each claim against the actual code and -returns, per `id`, a three-state `verification` — `confirmed`, `plausible`, or -`refuted` — with optional `corrected` fields. It verifies every claim the same way -whatever its `source`, under symmetric evidence duties: `confirmed` requires citing the -line(s) that make the failing scenario occur, `refuted` requires citing the -guard/handler/definition that prevents it, and anything it can do neither for is -`plausible`. Apply its result before Step 4: - -- **`refuted`** — discard the claim. The validator affirmatively showed it is wrong - (false positive, unsupported, or misleading); it is not posted and does not count - toward the verdict. -- **`plausible`** — retain the claim, **never as blocking**: an unconfirmed claim must - not drive REQUEST_CHANGES. If it carries a blocking label, map the label to the - non-blocking equivalent (`issue (blocking)` → `suggestion (non-blocking)`, - `issue (blocking, best-practice)` → `suggestion (non-blocking, best-practice)`, - `todo (blocking)` → `suggestion (non-blocking)`) and lower its `confidence` to the - validator's returned value; an already-non-blocking claim keeps its label with the - (lower) returned `confidence`. Enforce this mapping yourself even if the validator's - `corrected` object omits it — the gate is mechanical, not advisory. -- **`confirmed`** — retain the claim. If it carries a `corrected` object, overwrite the - claim's `line`, `label`, `subject`, `discussion`, and/or `suggestion` with the - corrected values before posting. This includes severity: the validator may correct an - overstated skill claim by changing its `label` from `issue (blocking, best-practice)` - to `suggestion (non-blocking, best-practice)`. - -**Only a `confirmed` claim may carry a blocking label into Step 4.** The verdict is a -mechanical function of the labels on the posted comments (`computeVerdict`), so -the `plausible` downgrade above automatically removes an unconfirmed claim from the -REQUEST_CHANGES set — recomputing the verdict over the post-validation labels is the -wiring. This gate is what ties REQUEST_CHANGES to re-verified, demonstrable defects; a -blocking-claim escalation beyond it (an adversarial refuter pass over the blocking -survivors) was considered and removed as unearned — if the eval suite's false-block -metric ever regresses, revisit it from this PR's history. - -**An author-disputed claim cannot re-block on the same evidence.** For a claim carrying -`author_dispute`, cap the verification at `plausible` — posted as a **question** engaging -the author's stated grounds, never a re-block — unless the validator returns `confirmed` -with a trace that reaches the **actual usage** (the caller/mount/production path, not just -the nearest definition) and speaks to those grounds. Production showed why the bar is -usage-depth: a wrong a11y re-block survived two checks that each stopped one parent short -of where the disputed element actually lived. - -The findings that survive this phase — with any corrections applied — -are the set Step 4 (verdict) and Step 5 (comments) act on. If `claim-validator`'s -output is missing or unparseable, do **not** drop the comments: post the unvalidated -claims anyway, and surface the gap as a skipped dimension (`claim validation`) with the -note in Step 6, so the author knows they were not double-checked this run. - -**Run out of budget gracefully: always land the review.** Two hard ceilings kill a -run that overruns: the per-run AI-credits cap (the frontmatter's -`max-ai-credits`; the daily cap is disabled separately) and the job's -`timeout-minutes`. A run that dies at a hard ceiling costs everything and -delivers nothing, so a hard ceiling must never be what stops you: treat the -router's soft targets (`runBudget`, Step 3) as the point to start landing. The -router clamps those targets to the effective credit cap (the -`REVIEW_MAX_AI_CREDITS` mirror of `max-ai-credits`) with a landing reserve -held back: the clamped `maxUsd` is 75% of the cap, not the cap itself, because -spend is unobservable mid-run and work already in flight bills after your last -checkpoint, so a run that sheds exactly at the cap still dies at it. When -`runBudget.capClamped` is true the cap is tighter than the tier's normal -budget — dispatch conservatively from the start and expect to shed. Treat -`maxUsd` as the landing target, never as money you may finish spending. Nothing reports exact credits consumed back to you -mid-run, so watch the signals you can observe, as spend proxies: - -- **Elapsed wall-clock** vs `runBudget.maxWallClockMinutes`: diff `date +%s` - against the run start you recorded in Step 1 at each later checkpoint. This is - the sharpest proxy, and the job-timeout ceiling it guards is just as fatal as - the credits cap. -- **Dispatch count** vs `runBudget.maxReviewerInvocations`: finding-producing - reviewers and lenses already dispatched plus still pending. Only those count. - `pattern-triage`, `thread-reconciler`, and the `claim-validator` are pipeline - steps, not reviewers; they never consume a slot of this cap. -- **Estimated credits** vs `runBudget.maxUsd × 100`: every finished sub-agent - reports its tokens in-band (the `subagent_tokens` line of its result's - `` block). Estimated run credits ≈ the sum of `subagent_tokens` over - completed sub-agents ÷ 5,000. (Derivation: measured runs average roughly - 9,000 summed tokens per credit, and sub-agent tokens are only part of total - spend — your own orchestration turns are unmetered — so ÷5,000 folds in the - safety margin. An estimate, not an invoice: use it to shed, never to justify - spending more.) -- **Run-wide investigation usage** vs `runBudget.maxTotalToolCalls`: one line per - authorised call in `/tmp/gh-aw/review/investigation-journal.log` (`wc -l`). -- **Trajectory**: an unusually large diff, many sub-agents still pending, many - turns already spent. - -Two checkpoints are mandatory, not judgment calls: recompute every proxy (1) -immediately after the last finder returns, BEFORE starting Phase 3 validation -— validation is itself model work, and dying there wastes findings already in -hand — and (2) before dispatching each additional wave of reviewers. - -When any proxy passes roughly three-quarters of its soft target (or the trajectory -is clearly expensive), stop starting new work and shed remaining work in this -order: - -1. Skip not-yet-dispatched opt-in reviewers and specialist lenses in value - order, lowest value first; each becomes a skipped dimension (Step 6 note). - The ranking, from first-shed to last-shed: `conventions`, then - `first-principles`, then `holistic`, then `completeness` and - `test-adequacy`, and only then any path-triggered specialist lens from - `lensesToSpawn`. A matched lens is the most targeted signal in the run (the - router chose it for the specific files this PR touches), so it outranks - every generic dimension; shedding `security-auth` on an auth-path diff to - afford `conventions` is exactly backwards. This same ranking, read from the - other end (defaults, lenses, targeted opt-ins, generic opt-ins), is the - dispatch order when the invocation cap cannot fit the roster (Phase 2). - The interior order is a first-cut editorial ranking; replace it with - measured per-dimension must-catch contribution once the eval corpus - yields that data. -2. Skip the risks/patterns comment (Step 7) if it has not happened yet. - Reviewer requests (Step 8) are **never** shed: pulling a human in matters - most on exactly the run whose own coverage is partial. -3. Last, and never at the soft targets alone: the `claim-validator`. It is the - false-positive gate, and its cost scales with the candidate count (which you - can already see when deciding), not with the diff, so validating a small - candidate set costs less than one reviewer dispatch. Shed it only when a - hard ceiling is genuinely close (elapsed wall clock past three-quarters of - the job's `timeout-minutes`, or an equally direct signal that the credits - cap is near); at a mere soft-target breach, dispatch it anyway and shed - elsewhere. When it is shed, post the unvalidated candidates under the - missing-validator rule (Phase 3), using the planned-shed wording of the - skipped-dimension note (Step 6). - -Then go straight to Steps 4-6: compute the verdict from the findings already -validated, post the surviving comments, and submit the review with one -skipped-dimension note per dimension you shed. A partial review that posts always -beats a complete review that never lands. - -## Step 4: Determine the Review Verdict - -Decide the verdict BEFORE writing any comments, because it affects which comments you -post. The verdict is a **mechanical function of the labels on the comments you will -actually post** — every finding that survived validation (Step 3 Phase 3), from -every dispatched reviewer and lens, after any corrections, after the -change-provenance gate, after the -newly-changed-code scope filter, and after -dropping candidates on open human-thread lines (Step 5). A claim the validator -dropped or downgraded to non-blocking, or that the provenance gate, scope filter, or -human-thread filter removed, -is not in that set and cannot affect the verdict. Because the verdict follows only the -posted labels, an advisory-only reviewer (one whose definition permits it only -non-blocking labels) can never drive REQUEST_CHANGES, and an `advisory`-severity -lens finding is code-mapped to a non-blocking label — counting labels already -handles them; there is no separate advisory carve-out to maintain. - -**Blocking labels:** `issue (blocking)`, `issue (blocking, best-practice)`, and -`todo (blocking)`. Every other label is non-blocking: `suggestion (non-blocking)`, -`suggestion (non-blocking, best-practice)`, `nitpick (non-blocking)`, -`question (non-blocking)`, `thought (non-blocking)`, and `note (non-blocking)`. - -**The rule:** -- **REQUEST_CHANGES** if and only if at least one comment you are going to post carries a - blocking label. -- **APPROVE** otherwise — including when the posted set contains only non-blocking - comments. **Never REQUEST_CHANGES when every comment you are posting is non-blocking.** - -There is no separate judgment: if a finding is a real defect it should carry a blocking -label (see below), but the verdict follows the labels on the actual posted comments, not -a category call. Count the blocking labels in your final comment set; zero blocking -labels means APPROVE. - -**The re-review flip rule (reduced depths only).** One addition to the rule above -when `rereview-plan.json` (Step 3) says `depth` is `flip-gated` or `fast` and the -latest fingerprint stamp's `verdict` was `REQUEST_CHANGES`: read the stamp, not the -review state, since branch protection may have dismissed that review. A reduced-depth -run reviews little or nothing new, so its APPROVE would mean "the prior objections -are resolved"; it may flip to APPROVE only when the code-rendered accountability -result (`/tmp/gh-aw/review/rereview.json`, Step 6) has `keptBlockingCount: 0`, that -is, the reconciler resolved every blocking thread. If `keptBlockingCount` is greater -than zero, the verdict is REQUEST_CHANGES even though this run posted no new blocking -comment; the accountability section lists the surviving threads, so the author sees -exactly what still blocks. In `flip-gated` depth the dispatched correctness pass adds -the second half of the gate mechanically: any validated blocking finding it produced -posts and blocks under the rule above, so a fresh defect vetoes the flip instead of -being discarded. This rule never applies to `full` or `scoped` depth, where the whole -roster re-reviews and the plain rule above stands alone. - -### What should carry a blocking label - -**Blocking requires a concrete failing scenario.** A finding may carry a blocking -label (`issue (blocking)` / `issue (blocking, best-practice)` / `todo (blocking)`) **only -when the reviewer can name a concrete failing scenario** — specific inputs, state, or -conditions under which the code produces a wrong or unsafe outcome (a bad value returned, -data corrupted, an authorization skipped, a request that errors, a user-visible break). -"This looks risky", "this could be a problem", or a style/architecture preference with no -demonstrable failure is **not** blocking — it is at most `advisory`. The scenario is the -finding's `failure_scenario` field (every producer emits one on every finding) and must be -supported by the finding's `evidence_trace`; the `claim-validator` (Step 3 Phase 3) -downgrades any blocking claim whose stated scenario it cannot confirm from the cited -evidence. This gate is what keeps REQUEST_CHANGES tied to real, demonstrable defects. - -Label a finding blocking (which is what then drives REQUEST_CHANGES) when it is: - -**Correctness defects** (that CI would NOT catch): -- Logic errors that pass type checks (wrong condition, off-by-one, etc.) -- Security vulnerabilities (XSS, secrets in code) -- Race conditions or incorrect async handling -- Incorrect business logic -- Data-layer correctness that the type checker won't catch (e.g. a cache that - breaks because a required identifier field is missing from a query) -- Public API type unsafety that downstream consumers would hit at runtime - -**Best practice violations** — only when labeled `issue (blocking, best-practice)`: -- A blocking best-practice finding drives - the verdict. An advisory one is labeled - `suggestion (non-blocking, best-practice)` and does **not** block — it rides along - with an APPROVE. The producer sets the label from the skill file's declared - severity, or its impact judgment when the skill doesn't declare one. -- A **specialist lens** owns its domain's skills and carries their severity in the - finding's `severity`, but a lens is a correctness/risk lens, so the normalization - step maps it to a **plain** label: `blocking` → `issue (blocking)` (drives the - verdict), `advisory` → `suggestion (non-blocking)`. - -Do NOT label these blocking (CI catches them), and do not let them drive the verdict: -- Type errors, lint violations, test failures -- Import ordering, formatting issues -- Missing semicolons, unused variables - -If none of the posted comments qualifies for a blocking label, the verdict is APPROVE — -you can still approve with non-blocking inline comments. - -## Step 5: Leave Per-Line Review Comments - -All review comments MUST use Conventional Comments format -(https://conventionalcomments.org/). Every comment starts with a label that -signals intent and urgency. - -**Be concise.** Keep every comment as short as it can be while staying clear — -ideally one or two sentences. State the problem and, when useful, the fix; do not -restate the code, recap the diff, add preambles or pleasantries, or over-explain. A -terse, specific comment is far more likely to be read and acted on than a verbose one. - -### Conventional Comments format - + It runs triage, the reviewer fan-out (roster, budget cap, and planned + sheds computed from `routing.json`, every dispatch staged to + `out/.json`), the provenance gate, the scope filter, cross-source + dedup, open-thread suppression (a candidate that describes a defect an + open bot thread already tracks is not re-validated or re-posted; a + suppressed blocking candidate still floors the verdict when the matched + thread's opener is itself blocking), and claim + validation, and writes `/tmp/gh-aw/review/dispatch-result.json`. +3.
