It would be very helpful if you could test the resulting artifacts from this PR and let us know in a comment whether this change resolves your issue. Thank you!

What this PR does

Extends skill-validation.yml so skill PRs show a before→after eval comparison, not just a pass/fail "after" result.

Today the workflow runs each skill PR's Vally evals against the PR's reviewer instructions and prints one score column — it proves the eval passes with the change ("after" / green), but it never runs the pre-change reviewer, so any claimed improvement is asserted, not shown.

This adds an advisory baseline run and renders a Before | After | Threshold | Verdict table (with a 📈/📉 trend) on the PR comment, so a reviewer-instruction change's effect is measured directly.

How it works

  • A new baseline step reverts only the skill's instruction files (SKILL.md / *.md, not tests/) to the PR base, runs the same eval specs, and uploads the result. The diff under review is identical in both runs — only the reviewer instructions differ.
  • The comment job downloads the baseline artifact and switches the table to Before | After | Threshold | Verdict when a baseline exists, falling back to the original single-score table otherwise.
  • Advisory only — the baseline never gates; PR status still keys on the authoritative "after" run.
  • Auto-skips when there's no base (manual dispatch), the base commit is unavailable, the skill is new on the branch, or its instructions are unchanged vs base (then before == after).
  • Same hermetic posture as the after-run: the baseline env: carries only COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN (model auth) — no GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN. Reverting to the base instructions only reduces PR-controlled content, so it adds no leak surface.

Cost: roughly LLM eval minutes, but only on PRs that actually change reviewer instructions.

Validation

  • YAML parses; actionlint clean (no errors/warnings); node --check passes on the full comment script.

Context

This is the measurement half of the regression-improvement loop being built for the code-review skill. The other half — the scanner that auto-drafts the eval + proposed reviewer fix — is #35925; #35977 is a live worked example. Split out of #35925 so that PR stays scoped to just the scanner.

Note

🤖 This review was automatically generated by a multi-model AI review system (Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro). Three models independently reviewed the code, then cross-pollinated their findings to produce this consolidated review.

Multi-Model Review — Round 1

Verdict: NEEDS_CHANGES (Soft — Advisory-Only Bugs)

After independent review and cross-pollination, all three models converged on NEEDS_CHANGES:

  • GPT: NEEDS_CHANGES (unchanged from independent)
  • Gemini: NEEDS_CHANGES (refined with peer insights)
  • Opus: LGTM → NEEDS_CHANGES (soft) — "fix before leaving draft"

Important context: This is a draft PR adding advisory-only eval score display. No security, gate, or hermeticity defects exist in the current code. The findings address correctness bugs that would produce misleading comparisons.


Key Findings

⚠️ Warning: Baseline ignores deleted/renamed instruction files

Location: .github/workflows/skill-validation.yml:587

All three models agree: INSTR is built from git ls-tree -r HEAD (HEAD-only), which means:

  1. Skip misfire: A delete-only PR would leave INSTR paths unchanged → git diff --quiet reports no changes → baseline skipped
  2. Inaccurate baseline: Deleted files are never restored from base → "Before" score is computed without them

Fix: Compute INSTR as the union of files in BASE_SHA and HEAD (excluding tests/)

Critical coupling: This fix MUST be paired with the restore upgrade below, or it will introduce the leak Gemini initially described.


⚠️ Warning: Restore upgrade required (coupled with union fix)

Location: .github/workflows/skill-validation.yml:605, 653

The current git checkout HEAD -- "$SKILL_DIR" is adequate for current code (no base-only files are ever materialized). However, once the union fix is applied, deleted base files WILL be checked out, and the current restore won't clean them up.

Fix (apply WITH union fix): Use git restore --staged --worktree --source=HEAD -- "$SKILL_DIR" in both the trap (605) and the if: always() cleanup (653).

Reconciliation note: Gemini initially claimed a "current hermeticity leak" but retracted this in cross-pollination after confirming deleted files aren't currently checked out. GPT's cross-phase review still frames 605/653 as standalone current ❌ Errors, which Opus clarifies is imprecise. The correct framing: required companion fix, not current bug.


💡 Suggestion: Comment/code mismatch on revert scope

Location: .github/workflows/skill-validation.yml:587 (header comment)

Comment promises only *.md instructions are reverted; code reverts all non-tests/ files (scripts, assets). Reconcile and document the intended semantic.


💡 Suggestion: baselineScores map collision on duplicate labels

Location: .github/workflows/skill-validation.yml:1184

The flat Map keys by evalName only. If multiple skills share a suite name, last .set() wins. Latent today (only code-review has evals), but consider scoping keys by skill name if more eval-bearing skills land.

Cross-pollination note: Neither peer raised this independently; both adopted it after Opus flagged it, strengthening the finding.


What All Models Verified

Baseline is strictly safer than after-run: base instructions + PR specs vs PR instructions + PR specs → no new attack surface

Hermetic env parity preserved: COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN only, no GH_TOKEN leakage

YAML correctness: Triple-guarded restore (trap + if: always() + ephemeral runners), robust artifact gating, valid syntax

Comment rendering: Verified 📈/📉/equal trends, single-score fallback, graceful for missing data

Cost contained: 2× workers is bounded by unchanged-instructions skip; fair comparison (same models/runs)


Model Divergence (Resolved in Cross-Poll)

Hermeticity leak claim: Gemini's independent review escalated this to "Critical," but Opus and Gemini's own cross-pollination confirmed no leak exists in current code. The leak only manifests after applying the union fix, which is why the restore upgrade is a required companion change.


Confidence Assessment

High — All three models agree on the core findings. Opus's detailed line-by-line trace resolved the hermeticity divergence. The fixes are clean (union file-set + pruning restore must land together).


Recommendation

REQUEST CHANGES (soft) — Fix finding #1 (union) and #2 (restore upgrade) as a coupled pair before leaving draft. The overall design is excellent; these are reviewer-facing correctness bugs that would silently produce misleading comparisons.

Findings #3 and #4 are low-severity polish that can be addressed concurrently or in follow-up.

Missing the file silently drops every inline comment.

Regression-detection corpus for the code-review skill. Each stimulus presents the diff of a PR that was later confirmed to have introduced a real, p/0-class regression in a shipping MAUI release. The eval asserts the reviewer would have surfaced the regression risk had they reviewed the PR pre-merge.

Adversarial review — no new issues found

Re-reviewed the current head (97f647d26d) after the baseline-hardening changes. The prior correctness issues are addressed: baseline plumbing cannot suppress the authoritative run, mixed Markdown/script revisions do not produce a hybrid comparison, and incomplete baseline output is not rendered as a trend.

One final single-reviewer concern about artifact download layout was checked against the pinned actions/download-artifact@v4 source and discarded: pattern downloads with merge-multiple: false remain nested by artifact name, so the artifact-scoped pairing is stable.

Methodology: 3 independent reviewers with adversarial consensus.

Test coverage: Workflow-only change; no dedicated unit test project applies.

Prior review status: The pre-existing baseline-selection, cleanup, Markdown-scope, and duplicate-suite findings are resolved on this head.

Round-N re-review (DRAFT) — prior findings resolved

Re-reviewed at head 97f647d2. The round-1 panel raised 3 ❌ Errors + a ⚠️ collision on the baseline/before→after logic. All are addressed in the current code; resolving those threads.

Round-1 finding Sev Status Evidence
Baseline instruction set built from HEAD only → misses deleted/renamed files ✅ Resolved INSTR is now the union of git ls-tree $BASE_SHA + git ls-tree HEAD (sort -u) — comment: "catches deleted/renamed files."
Revert doesn't remove PR-added files → forward leak (baseline sees PR content) ✅ Resolved Loop now git checkout $BASE_SHA -- $f when in base, else rm -f "$f" for PR-added files.
git checkout HEAD -- $SKILL_DIR cleanup leaves stray base-only files → reverse leak (authoritative "after" run polluted) ✅ Resolved Cleanup is now git restore --staged --worktree --source=HEAD -- $SKILL_DIR (trap and belt-and-suspenders if: always()). Empirically verified: because git checkout $BASE -- $f stages the base-only file, restoring index+worktree to HEAD deletes it — git status is clean, no stray file reaches the "after" run.
baselineScores keyed by evalName collapses on cross-skill name collisions ⚠️ ✅ Resolved Now keyed by suiteKey(scope, label) = ${scope}\u0000${label}, where scope is the per-skill artifact suffix — equal suite names in different skills stay distinct. Both skill-eval-results-* and skill-eval-baseline-* derive scope from matrix.entry.name, so the before/after join is correct.

Also checked (new code):

  • RUNS input is sanitized to digits (tr -cd '0-9') before --runs — no injection. Baseline step is continue-on-error + advisory exit; it never gates (gate uses the authoritative "after" run). Fork-PR base fetch (git fetch --depth=1 upstream $BASE_SHA || true) is guarded by a cat-file re-check.

No blocking issues at the current head. Nice, careful hermeticity handling on the revert/restore pair.

/evaluate-skills

PureWeen and others added 3 commits July 17, 2026 15:13
skill-validation.yml already ran Vally against the PR's skill content,
proving the eval passes WITH the change ("after"/green). It never ran the
pre-change reviewer, so the "before" number was manual and improvement was
asserted, not shown.

Add an advisory baseline run that reverts only the skill's instruction
files (SKILL.md / *.md, NOT tests/) to the PR base, runs the same eval
specs, and uploads the result. The comment job then renders a
Before | After | Threshold | Verdict table with a 📈/📉 trend when a
baseline exists, falling back to the original Score table otherwise.

The baseline is informational and never gates (status still keys on the
authoritative "after" run). It auto-skips when there is no base
(workflow_dispatch), the base commit is unavailable, the skill is new on
the branch, or its instructions are unchanged vs base. Its env carries
only COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN (model auth) — same hermetic posture as the
after-run; reverting to the base instructions only reduces PR-controlled
content, so it adds no leak surface. Cost: ~2x eval minutes, but only on
PRs that actually change reviewer instructions.

🔍 AI-generated review (multi-model pipeline: Opus 4.8 · GPT-5.5 · Gemini 3.1 Pro), on behalf of @kubaflo — round 2 at 75f1b416 (draft).

Multi-model review — PR #36008 (before→after eval scores on skill PRs)

Re-review since my round-1 comment (97f647d2). Net change is still one file — skill-validation.yml — adding an informational baseline (pre-PR) eval run so the results comment can show before → after and prove a reviewer change moved the needle. New commits since round 1: "Show before→after eval scores", "Fix skill evaluation baseline comparison", "Harden skill evaluation baselines".

Round-1 findings — all resolved (confirmed)

The three ❌ correctness bugs + one ⚠️ collision from round 1 remain fixed at this head:

  • Baseline instruction set is the union of git ls-tree $BASE_SHA + HEAD (sort -u) — catches deleted/renamed files.
  • Revert removes PR-added files (git checkout $BASE -- $f when in base, else rm -f), so the baseline never sees PR content.
  • Cleanup is git restore --staged --worktree --source=HEAD via trap … EXIT and a belt-and-suspenders if: always() "Restore PR skill content" step — no base-only file leaks into the authoritative "after" run.
  • Suite scores keyed by suiteKey(scope,label) — no cross-skill name collision.

New hardening — sound

  • Failures ≠ errors when reading the baseline JUnit. A threshold miss (failures>0) is kept as a valid "before" score, but an execution error/incomplete output (errors≠0, or nonzero exit with zero failures) sets baseline_ran=false and produces no trend. That's the right call — a crashed baseline must not render a misleading before→after delta.
  • Baseline is continue-on-error / advisory (set +e, captured BASELINE_RC) — it never gates; the authoritative "after" run is the gate. Correctly skips on: no base SHA, base commit unavailable (with an upstream fetch fallback for forks), new skill, unchanged instructions, or changed non-Markdown reviewer assets (which would make a hybrid base/PR reviewer).

CI

The modified workflow dogfoods correctly — it re-runs every skill eval and the completed ones are green (agentic-labeler, pr-review, evaluate-pr-tests, analyze-sessions; code-review/try-fix still running). Static + hermeticity + gate pass; maui-pr skipping (expected, .github/-only).

Verdict: 🟢 LGTM (substance) · confidence high · (draft — comment only)

The baseline/before→after logic is careful, correctly isolated from the gating run, and the failures-vs-errors distinction is a genuinely good detail. No blocking issues at this head. Ready to un-draft when you are.

Pull request overview

This PR enhances the skill-validation.yml workflow so that skill PRs can display a baseline (pre-change) vs after (this PR) evaluation comparison, rather than only reporting the post-change score. This helps reviewers directly see whether an instruction change measurably improves eval outcomes.

Changes:

  • Plumbs base_sha through the PR and /evaluate-skills gates so jobs can reference the PR base commit.
  • Adds an advisory baseline Vally evaluation that temporarily restores only the skill’s Markdown instruction files to the base commit and uploads the baseline artifacts (never gating).
  • Extends the PR comment renderer to optionally show a Before | After | Threshold | Verdict table with trend indicators when baseline artifacts are present.

## What this PR does

Adds a scheduled regression-corpus scanner that finds recently merged
`i/regression` fixes and drafts a hermetic Vally regression stimulus for
the `code-review` skill. When the bad change is statically reviewable,
the draft may also propose a small, generalizable `SKILL.md`
improvement; downstream Vally evaluation can measure it after a
repository contributor triggers `/evaluate-skills`.

The manual seed work originally on this branch was superseded by
#35942's Vally migration. This PR now contains only the automation that
grows the corpus.

## How it works

1. A deterministic PowerShell pre-pass finds recent regression-fix PRs,
identifies an explicitly attributed introducing PR, resolves its merge
SHA, deduplicates the corpus and pending scanner drafts, and emits
bounded candidate data.
2. The agent inspects the introducing merged PR's diff and drafts one
hermetic `eval.vally.yaml` entry. The reviewed stimulus contains no live
PR or issue context.
3. The only possible draft-PR changes are
`.github/skills/code-review/tests/eval.vally.yaml` and
`.github/skills/code-review/SKILL.md`; they target `main` from a
`regression-corpus/**` branch.

## Rebase and security rework (2026-07-15)

- Rebased onto current `main` and regenerated the lock file with gh-aw
v0.80.9.
- Attribution now requires an explicit `#NNNN` or `PR NNNN` reference,
preserves source-text order, and ignores out-of-range identifiers.
- Only `OWNER`, `MEMBER`, and `COLLABORATOR` linked-issue comments can
supply attribution; public comment text is excluded.
- Candidates without a linked regression issue require human attribution
instead of generating an invalid eval tag.
- Empty GitHub search results produce no candidates rather than a
phantom `fixPr: 0` record.
- The candidate payload is now structural identifiers only; fetched
titles, prose, and file paths are excluded before it reaches the agent
prompt.
- The scanner deduplicates corpus entries, pending scanner drafts, and
accepted candidates from the same run.
- The scanner runs only in `dotnet/maui`, uses the repository's gated
`copilot-pat-pool`, filters agent GitHub reads at `min-integrity:
approved`, and suppresses no-op issues.

## Security review

The recompile introduces references to the existing `COPILOT_PAT_0`
through `COPILOT_PAT_9` pool, replacing the direct
`COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` inference credential. The shared `pat_pool`
import selects one credential inside the protected `copilot-pat-pool`
environment and passes it only to the Copilot engine; the pre-pass uses
only scoped read permissions.

The generated lock adds SHA-pinned gh-aw v0.80.9 framework dependencies,
including `actions/cache/restore` and `actions/cache/save` v5.0.5, and
refreshes the existing GitHub action/container pins. No redirects or
unpinned external actions were added. The create-PR safe output is
limited to one draft PR, `main`, `regression-corpus/**`, a 256 KB patch,
the two files above, and the `agentic-workflows` label.

### What this is

A worked, hermetic regression-corpus example for the `code-review`
skill. It pairs a Vally stimulus based on a real lifecycle regression
with reviewer guidance that targets the general failure mode.

### Regression captured

- **Introducing PR:** #31931
- **Regression:** #35756, fixed by #35803
- **Mechanism:** an early return added to `Page.SendNavigatedTo`
suppressed not only duplicate local lifecycle work, but also propagation
to the current child when the page's latch was already set.

### Rework

- Rebased onto current `main`.
- Generalized the guidance: reviewers must distinguish a guard's local
duplicate suppression from downstream propagation or side effects, then
trace a subsequent call while inputs, recipients, or downstream state
may have changed.
- Clarified that `**Confidence:**` represents confidence in the safety
recommendation, not certainty that an individual failure mechanism
exists. An unresolved failure mode must report `**Confidence:** low`.
- Hardened the lifecycle eval against its original false pass: a review
that identifies the risk but still returns `LGTM` fails the structural
floor; semantic analysis remains LLM-judged.

### Validation

- `vally lint --eval-spec
.github/skills/code-review/tests/eval.vally.yaml --strict` passes
locally.
- The regression suite is configured for five trials; the CI model
evaluation remains the authoritative measurement of the before/after
effect.

## What this PR does

Adds a scheduled regression-corpus scanner that finds recently merged
`i/regression` fixes and drafts a hermetic Vally regression stimulus for
the `code-review` skill. When the bad change is statically reviewable,
the draft may also propose a small, generalizable `SKILL.md`
improvement; downstream Vally evaluation can measure it after a
repository contributor triggers `/evaluate-skills`.

The manual seed work originally on this branch was superseded by
dotnet#35942's Vally migration. This PR now contains only the automation that
grows the corpus.

## How it works

1. A deterministic PowerShell pre-pass finds recent regression-fix PRs,
identifies an explicitly attributed introducing PR, resolves its merge
SHA, deduplicates the corpus and pending scanner drafts, and emits
bounded candidate data.
2. The agent inspects the introducing merged PR's diff and drafts one
hermetic `eval.vally.yaml` entry. The reviewed stimulus contains no live
PR or issue context.
3. The only possible draft-PR changes are
`.github/skills/code-review/tests/eval.vally.yaml` and
`.github/skills/code-review/SKILL.md`; they target `main` from a
`regression-corpus/**` branch.

## Rebase and security rework (2026-07-15)

- Rebased onto current `main` and regenerated the lock file with gh-aw
v0.80.9.
- Attribution now requires an explicit `#NNNN` or `PR NNNN` reference,
preserves source-text order, and ignores out-of-range identifiers.
- Only `OWNER`, `MEMBER`, and `COLLABORATOR` linked-issue comments can
supply attribution; public comment text is excluded.
- Candidates without a linked regression issue require human attribution
instead of generating an invalid eval tag.
- Empty GitHub search results produce no candidates rather than a
phantom `fixPr: 0` record.
- The candidate payload is now structural identifiers only; fetched
titles, prose, and file paths are excluded before it reaches the agent
prompt.
- The scanner deduplicates corpus entries, pending scanner drafts, and
accepted candidates from the same run.
- The scanner runs only in `dotnet/maui`, uses the repository's gated
`copilot-pat-pool`, filters agent GitHub reads at `min-integrity:
approved`, and suppresses no-op issues.

## Security review

The recompile introduces references to the existing `COPILOT_PAT_0`
through `COPILOT_PAT_9` pool, replacing the direct
`COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` inference credential. The shared `pat_pool`
import selects one credential inside the protected `copilot-pat-pool`
environment and passes it only to the Copilot engine; the pre-pass uses
only scoped read permissions.

The generated lock adds SHA-pinned gh-aw v0.80.9 framework dependencies,
including `actions/cache/restore` and `actions/cache/save` v5.0.5, and
refreshes the existing GitHub action/container pins. No redirects or
unpinned external actions were added. The create-PR safe output is
limited to one draft PR, `main`, `regression-corpus/**`, a 256 KB patch,
the two files above, and the `agentic-workflows` label.

## What this PR does

Extends `skill-validation.yml` so skill PRs show a **before→after** eval
comparison, not just a pass/fail "after" result.

Today the workflow runs each skill PR's Vally evals against the **PR's**
reviewer instructions and prints one score column — it proves the eval
passes *with* the change ("after" / green), but it never runs the
*pre-change* reviewer, so any claimed improvement is asserted, not
shown.

This adds an advisory **baseline** run and renders a `Before | After |
Threshold | Verdict` table (with a 📈/📉 trend) on the PR comment, so a
reviewer-instruction change's effect is measured directly.

## How it works

- A new **baseline** step reverts **only** the skill's instruction files
(`SKILL.md` / `*.md`, **not** `tests/`) to the PR base, runs the same
eval specs, and uploads the result. The diff under review is identical
in both runs — only the reviewer instructions differ.
- The comment job downloads the baseline artifact and switches the table
to `Before | After | Threshold | Verdict` when a baseline exists,
falling back to the original single-score table otherwise.
- **Advisory only** — the baseline never gates; PR status still keys on
the authoritative "after" run.
- **Auto-skips** when there's no base (manual dispatch), the base commit
is unavailable, the skill is new on the branch, or its instructions are
unchanged vs base (then before == after).
- Same hermetic posture as the after-run: the baseline `env:` carries
only `COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` (model auth) — no `GH_TOKEN`/`GITHUB_TOKEN`.
Reverting to the base instructions only *reduces* PR-controlled content,
so it adds no leak surface.

**Cost:** roughly **2×** LLM eval minutes, but only on PRs that actually
change reviewer instructions.

## Validation

- YAML parses; `actionlint` clean (no errors/warnings); `node --check`
passes on the full comment script.

## Context

This is the **measurement half** of the regression-improvement loop
being built for the `code-review` skill. The other half — the scanner
that auto-drafts the eval + proposed reviewer fix — is dotnet#35925; dotnet#35977 is
a live worked example. Split out of dotnet#35925 so that PR stays scoped to
just the scanner.
