Description

Improves the reliability of the maui-copilot AzDO review pipeline (definition 27723) so that both the Gate (test-verification) stage and the Deep UI Tests stage produce a useful, correctly-classified review on every run.

Supersedes #36399 (its branch was renamed to improved-reviewer, which closed that PR).

Gate reliability fixes

The gate ("test before & after fix") had several classes of false verdicts. Each is addressed:

Problem Old behavior New behavior
Failure-only mode (test-only PRs) wrote no report PASSED + "exited before writing report" warning writes a proper report on every exit path
Test-less PRs (fix files, no tests) forced INCONCLUSIVE after 3 wasted retries SKIPPED (add tests), no retry
Flaky pass/fail on a single run verdict flipped on one flaky run re-runs unexpected outcomes and credits the confirmed result
Baseline and fix both fail to build mislabeled "Fix does not compile" "Pre-existing build failure (not the fix)" → INCONCLUSIVE
New VerifyScreenshot test, no baseline yet FAILED ("fix does not pass") INCONCLUSIVE ("new snapshot — no baseline")
Helper file (no test methods) detected as a test dragged the gate to FAILED excluded from detection
Mixed PR (one test reproduces, another always-green) FAILED PASSED — rule relaxed to "≥1 test reproduces the bug (FAIL→PASS) and none regress"
Gate reason unclear on env/build failure terse "could not complete" exit-code / log-aware fallback lead-ins classify env errors as INCONCLUSIVE

Plus: the gate now always runs — the temporary SkipUITests fast-mode toggle (which passed -SkipGate and skipped the gate on every production review) is removed. The gate self-selects its verdict, so a PR with no runnable tests still exits SKIPPED without any emulator work.

Also fixes the spurious CopilotFailed: command not found noise in the "Check Review Result" step (undefined $(var) macros were evaluated as bash command substitutions).

Deep-stage & always-finish reliability

  • Build-hang watchdog — an in-script wall-clock watchdog ([Process]::Start + Kill($true)) bounds the buildtasks/cake child-process tree, because AzDO's step timeoutInMinutes does not kill a hung child tree.
  • Always finish the PR — the deferred Post phase now posts a standalone deep-results review and collapses the "review incomplete" notice when the normal review path produced nothing, so a completed build always leaves useful feedback even when a stage failed.
  • Deep per-category loop — hard-stop / per-category ceiling / idle-kill bounds keep the deep stage under its task timeout instead of failing on an infra timeout.

Files changed

  • .github/workflows/review-trigger.yml/review comment parsing (platform / branch args).
  • eng/pipelines/ci-copilot.yml — remove SkipUITests / -SkipGate (gate + provisioning always run); buildtasks watchdog; always-finish deferred-post + collapse-notice; snapshot-embed ranking / retry.
  • .github/scripts/Review-PR.ps1 — gate exit-code handling (exit 2 → SKIPPED, no retry on "no tests"); gate-clarity fallback lead-ins.
  • .github/scripts/shared/Detect-TestsInDiff.ps1 — skip .cs files with no test-method attributes.
  • .github/skills/verify-tests-fail-without-fix/scripts/verify-tests-fail.ps1 — report on every exit path; determinism re-runs; baseline-build / snapshot-baseline / relaxed-verdict / env-error classification.
  • .github/scripts/post-ai-summary-comment.ps1 — AI Review Summary rendering.

Testing

Validated with full-gate runs (SkipUITests=false) on real PRs:

Each PowerShell change is covered by isolated unit-scenario checks for its decision logic.

Review follow-up reliability fixes

  • Filtered Windows device tests now attempt category discovery for every project. Controls still requires discovery, while non-Controls apps retain the clean full-suite fallback for older runners.
  • Apple Account dialog cleanup now uses non-interactive sudo -n throughout, so best-effort provisioning cannot block on a credential prompt.
  • Regression coverage verifies the Windows discovery decision and statically requires sudo -n for every executable sudo invocation.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the maui-copilot AzDO review pipeline to support maintainer-supplied custom review prompts (surfaced in the AI Review Summary with a fallback post path) and to make the gate phase more reliable/deterministic.

Changes:

  • Add -prompt/--prompt parsing in the /review trigger workflow and pass it safely to AzDO as CustomPrompt only when non-empty.
  • Update the maui-copilot pipeline to always run the gate, pass CustomPrompt into the Copilot review phase, and add a failure-only fallback step to post custom-prompt results.
  • Improve gate result reporting/determinism in verify-tests-fail.ps1, and improve test detection to avoid treating helper-only files as tests.

🔍 AI-generated reply on @kubaflo's behalf.

I looked into this and I don't think it's a bug — PowerShell's pipeline operator | binds looser than +, so @(A) + @(B) | Where-Object {…} parses as (@(A) + @(B)) | Where-Object {…} and the filter applies to the whole concatenation.

Verified empirically with a discriminating case (both arrays would be filtered out):

$a = @([pscustomobject]@{X=$false}); $b = @([pscustomobject]@{X=$false})
(@($a) + @($b) | Where-Object { $_.X }).Count   # => 0

If Where-Object only applied to $b, the unfiltered $a would leak and the count would be 1 — it's 0, so $snapshotBaselineMissing is computed over both lists as intended. Leaving the thread open in case I've missed an edge case.

The here-string can't actually be terminated this way — PowerShell parses @""@ delimiters at parse time, before $CustomPrompt is expanded at runtime, so a "@ inside the variable's value is inserted as pure data, not a terminator. Verified:

$CustomPrompt = "line1`n`"@`nmalicious"
$out = @"
BEFORE
$CustomPrompt
AFTER
"@
# $out contains BEFORE, the literal "@, malicious, AND AFTER — here-string intact

On the broader prompt-injection angle: the meta-prompt already wraps the maintainer input in >>>/<<< markers with an explicit instruction to treat it strictly as the analysis request (not as task/tool/output-changing instructions), and CustomPrompt is a maintainer-supplied pipeline parameter. Leaving open for discussion, but I don't think the here-string can be broken out of.

@copilot-pull-request-reviewer addressed the review in 1c9b91081d6:

Fixed (6 threads resolved): reviews-fetch --paginate→single-page ConvertFrom-Json; the stale SkipUITests references in the -SkipGate comment + SKIPPED gate report; and the Task 3.5 comment (analysis file is written at the end of CopilotReview in the finally, after try-fix/expert-review — not early).

Disagreed (2 threads, left open with evidence): the Where-Object precedence finding (pipeline binds looser than +, so the filter applies to the whole concatenation — verified count=0) and the here-string "@ termination (here-string delimiters are parse-time; a runtime $CustomPrompt value can't break out — verified). Ready for re-review — thanks!

src/Controls/tests/TestCases.Shared.Tests/UITest.cs:752

  • The logical window bounds from GetRect() are doubles, but the resize block casts them directly to uint. If width/height are fractional (common with point-based coordinates), the cast truncates and the pixelWidth != width comparison mixes int/double, which can make the density-normalization step behave unexpectedly. Rounding the logical size once (and comparing against that) makes the output deterministic.
    src/Controls/tests/TestCases.Shared.Tests/UITest.cs:733
  • In Mac UI tests, the pixel crop bounds are computed with Math.Round on both left/top and right/bottom and then hard-fail if the rounded values land 1px outside the screenshot. With Retina scaling and fractional window rects this can intermittently throw even when the window is effectively on-screen. Consider using Floor for the start, Ceiling for the end, and clamping to the screenshot bounds before validating size to avoid off-by-one failures.

Adversarial review

Findings

  • Logic — A single native-library substring can reclassify an entire mixed-failure run as infrastructure and produce a false green gate. (Reviewer 2 + repo domain specialist)
  • ⚠️ Logic — No-UI-results guidance reads gate state from the wrong phase file, leaving the intended infrastructure branch unreachable. (3/3 reviewers after dispute + repo domain specialist)
  • ⚠️ Reliability — A successful recovery dispatch followed by acknowledgement failure remains rediscoverable and aborts the candidate batch. (3/3 reviewers after dispute)

Test coverage

The PR adds substantial scenario coverage, but the native-library tests do not include the discriminating mixed native-library + genuine assertion-failure case, and the recovery test currently codifies the batch-aborting acknowledgement failure.

Prior review status

I reconciled these findings against 606 existing inline comments and 464 prior reviews. These three issues are novel at the current head; earlier adversarial findings around expert-verdict vetoes, startup classification, and baseline restoration were not duplicated.

Methodology: 3 independent reviewers with adversarial consensus + repo domain specialist. Code review only; check status is intentionally out of scope.

@PureWeen all three findings are addressed in 0e41471: mixed native-library failures remain blocking, no-UI-results guidance uses the trusted gate verdict, and recovered commands now carry durable acknowledgement context without aborting the batch. The targeted Pester suites pass (179 tests), and the workflow YAML parses successfully. Ready for re-review.

  • This progress message refers to simulator runtimes (the count from simctl runtime list -j), not simulators. Wording it as "simulators left" is misleading when diagnosing wedge/drain issues, since the loop is checking the runtime-image store rather than created devices.

Adversarial review — follow-up

The prior three findings are fixed at this head. The follow-up introduces four new boundary/partial-failure issues:

Findings

  • Logic — Native-library classification now fails in both directions at unparsed/cascading boundaries: it can hide a genuine single failure or block a purely environmental cascade. (3/3 reviewers + repo domain specialist)
  • ⚠️ Logic — Recovery acknowledgement accepts a narrower command grammar than the scanner, stranding case-variant or leading-blank-line commands. (3/3 reviewers + repo domain specialist)
  • ⚠️ LogicTIMEDOUT gets build-failure guidance even though the same script classifies it as usually infrastructure. (3/3 reviewers after dispute)
  • ⚠️ Reliability — Recovery workflow_dispatch skips source-comment dedupe before triggering; under partial acknowledgement plus ambiguous trigger failure, polling can enqueue a duplicate review. (2/3 reviewers after dispute)

Test coverage

The follow-up adds tests for the original three findings, but the new tests sanitize away the real cascading native-lib fixture and omit the unparsed single-failure, command normalization, TIMEDOUT, and pre-trigger recovery-race cases.

Prior review status

Reconciled against 612 existing inline comments and 469 prior reviews. The three findings from review #4901498966 are resolved and were not repeated; these findings target the new fix commit.

Methodology: 3 independent reviewers with adversarial consensus + repo domain specialist. Code review only; check status is intentionally out of scope.

@PureWeen the four follow-up findings are addressed in 69e43c0. Native-load cascades are narrowly classified without masking unparsed/mixed failures, recovery command validation now matches scanner normalization, timeout guidance is neutral, and recovery dedupe is rechecked under the serialized trigger job before AzDO. The focused suites pass (191 tests). Ready for re-review.

@copilot Ready for re-review. I independently validated the macOS coordinate-space behavior, kept the screenshot-derived backing scale, and updated crop-validation failures to preserve the uncropped PNG with diagnostics (5563130). The focused Mac UI test build reached test-project restore but was blocked by transient DNS failures reaching the dnceng Azure Artifacts feeds; MAUI build tasks built successfully and formatting/diff checks passed.

.github/patches/catalyst-retina-screenshot.patch:65

  • This patch throws on an invalid point→pixel scale. In the reviewer pipeline this would surface as test failures unrelated to the PR under review. Prefer returning the uncropped screenshot bytes instead of throwing.
+			if (!double.IsFinite(scaleX) || !double.IsFinite(scaleY) || scaleX <= 0 || scaleY <= 0)
+				throw new InvalidOperationException($"Invalid Mac screenshot scale: {scaleX}x{scaleY}.");

.github/patches/catalyst-retina-screenshot.patch:78

  • This patch throws when the computed window pixel bounds are outside the screenshot bounds. That makes snapshot tests fail hard instead of degrading gracefully. Returning the full screenshot keeps the run usable and matches the approach in UITest.cs in this PR.
+			if (pixelX < 0 || pixelY < 0 || pixelWidth <= 0 || pixelHeight <= 0 ||
+				pixelRight > image.Width || pixelBottom > image.Height)
+			{

+					$"Mac app window pixels ({pixelX},{pixelY},{pixelWidth},{pixelHeight}) " +

.github/patches/catalyst-retina-screenshot.patch:56

  • This patch throws when display bounds cannot be resolved. Since TakeScreenshot() exceptions fail the entire snapshot test run, the source-override patch should prefer a best-effort fallback (like the in-repo UITest.cs change) instead of throwing.

This issue also appears in the following locations of the same file:

  • line 64
  • line 74
+			if (displayBounds.Size.Width <= 0 || displayBounds.Size.Height <= 0)
+				throw new InvalidOperationException($"Invalid main display bounds: {displayBounds.Size.Width}x{displayBounds.Size.Height}.");

@copilot addressed all three suppressed source-override findings in af843cf62c. The trusted Catalyst patch now mirrors the in-repo best-effort behavior: invalid display bounds, scale, or crop bounds log the reason and return the uncropped PNG instead of failing the snapshot run. The focused BuildAndRunHostApp.Tests.ps1 suite passes 12/12, including reverse-apply synchronization. Ready for re-review — thanks!

  • On Mac UI tests, windowBounds.Width/Height are double and can be fractional. The resize path casts them to uint (truncation), which can produce off-by-one output sizes and mismatched snapshots (e.g., 500.9 → 500). Consider rounding to an integer logical size once and using that consistently for the resize comparison and MagickGeometry.

Fixed in b63bdd2f2f. The Mac window width and height are now rounded once to logicalWidth/logicalHeight, and those values are used consistently for crop edges, resize comparison, and MagickGeometry. The trusted post-merge patch was regenerated and all 12 focused Pester tests pass.
