Summary

  • Add e2e/behaviour/features/dispatch/fork-dispatch.feature with three Gherkin scenarios: fork PR opened dispatches pull_request_target harness, fork PR synchronize dispatches harness, and negative test verifying fork PR does not trigger issue-only harness
  • Extend CleanupScenario to close open fork PRs (via CloseIssue on the base repo) and delete test branches on the fork repo (via GitHub REST API, following pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go precedent)
  • Add fork testing documentation to docs/guides/dev/behaviour-testing.md covering pool-org prerequisites, fork lifecycle (long-lived fork repo, per-scenario branch/PR cleanup), and Background: step usage pattern

Review

Findings

High

  • [breaking-interface-change] pkg/behaviourtest/drivers/scm/driver.go:41 — The scm.Driver.CreateForkChangeProposal method signature changed by adding a new forkRepo parameter between forkOwner and headBranch. This is a breaking change to a publicly exported interface in pkg/ that external repositories (fullsend-ai/agents) import and may implement. The version-pinning contract in behaviour-testing.md documents this as a managed API evolution path, but the compile-time failure still requires coordination with consumers before releasing.
    Remediation: Coordinate with fullsend-ai/agents maintainers per the version pinning policy. Bump the pinned version and update downstream implementations when releasing this change.

Medium

  • [interface-extension] pkg/behaviourtest/drivers/scm/driver.go:20 — The scm.Driver interface gained a new DeleteBranch method. Adding methods to a Go interface is always a breaking change for existing implementations. Governed by the same version-pinning contract as the signature change above. See also: [breaking-interface-change] finding at this location.

  • [stale-reference] pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go:222 — The deleteBranch function comments that "forge.Client doesn't have DeleteBranch" but this PR adds DeleteRef to forge.Client, which provides exactly this capability. The function also makes direct HTTP DELETE requests to api.github.com, bypassing the forge abstraction.
    Remediation: Follow up by refactoring deleteBranch in pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go to use forge.Client.DeleteRef() and update the stale comment.

  • [edge-case] pkg/behaviourtest/steps/fork.go:78 — If CreateBranch succeeds but CommitFileToFork or CreateForkChangeProposal subsequently fails, w.ForkPRBranch is never set (assigned only after PR creation). CleanupScenario guards branch deletion on w.ForkPRBranch != "", so the orphaned branch leaks on the fork repository across failed test runs.
    Remediation: Set w.ForkPRBranch = branch immediately after CreateBranch succeeds, so CleanupScenario can delete the branch even if subsequent steps fail.

Low

  • [missing-api-documentation] docs/ADRs/0005-forge-abstraction-layer.mdforge.Client gained DeleteRef and CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal. While ADRs are point-in-time decisions (not API references), a cross-reference annotation would help discoverability.

  • [stale-interface-documentation] docs/guides/dev/behaviour-drivers.mdscm.Driver responsibility description does not mention branch operations. The staleness predates this PR (CreateBranch was already absent) but widens with the new DeleteBranch method.

  • [naming-conventions] pkg/behaviourtest/drivers/scm/driver.go:41CreateForkChangeProposal uses headBranch/baseBranch while CreateChangeProposal uses head/base. The difference is defensible (fork version is always a branch name) but creates slight inconsistency.

  • [missing-step-documentation] docs/guides/dev/behaviour-testing.md — New fork-related Gherkin steps (Given a fork, When a fork pull request is opened, And the fork pull request is labeled) are not documented as a step vocabulary reference.

Findings

Medium

  • [test-integrity] pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup_test.goTestCleanupScenario_DeletesForkBranch_WhenAllFieldsPresent makes a real HTTP DELETE request to api.github.com during unit testing. The test sets Token: "test-token" and calls CleanupScenario, which invokes deleteForkBranch with a hardcoded api.github.com URL. The test relies on the request failing (network error or 401) and logging an error. This couples unit test success to network availability and GitHub API reachability, and produces real outbound HTTP traffic on every go test invocation.
    Remediation: Use httptest.NewServer to create a local HTTP server that returns 204. Pass the base URL into deleteForkBranch (or use an HTTP client with a custom transport) so the test validates request construction without making external calls.

  • [architectural-violation] pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup.go:28 — Direct HTTP call to GitHub API bypasses the forge abstraction. The deleteForkBranch function uses net/http to call the GitHub REST API directly, which AGENTS.md explicitly prohibits outside internal/forge/github/. However, this follows extensive existing precedent: pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go contains 5+ functions (deleteBranch, deleteRepoVariable, closePR, deleteShimWorkflow, listOrgRepoNames) all making direct GitHub API calls for the same reason — forge.Client and scm.Driver lack DeleteBranch.
    Remediation: Add a DeleteBranch method to the scm.Driver interface (or forge.Client) and implement it in the GitHub driver. Update both pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go and this file to use the new interface method. Alternatively, accept this as consistent with existing test-infrastructure precedent and track the broader interface gap as a separate issue.

Low

  • [error-handling] pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup.go:65 — In deleteForkBranch, the HTTP response body is deferred-closed but never drained. For HTTP/1.1 connection reuse via http.DefaultClient's connection pool, the body should be fully read (e.g., io.Copy(io.Discard, resp.Body)) before closing. The existing deleteBranch in pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go has the same pattern, so this is a pre-existing codebase convention rather than a regression.

  • [code-organization] pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup.go:22 — Fork cleanup is inserted between issue cleanup and artifact cleanup. The established CleanupScenario pattern was issue cleanup → artifact cleanup → dummy script cleanup. The new ordering (issue → fork PR → fork branch → artifact → dummy script) is logically sound (close all PRs/issues first), but adding a brief comment separator would make the grouping explicit.

🔧 Fix agent — iteration 1 (human-triggered)

Addressed all four review findings. Fixed test-integrity by parameterizing deleteForkBranch's base URL and replacing the real-HTTP test with three httptest-based tests covering success (204), not-found (404), and error (500) cases. Fixed error-handling by draining response body before closing. Fixed code-organization by adding comment separators in CleanupScenario. Recorded reasoned disagreement on architectural-violation — adding DeleteBranch to forge.Client is out of scope for this PR and the code follows established precedent.

Fixed (3):

  1. [test-integrity] Unit test makes real HTTP request to api.github.com (pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup_test.go): Replaced TestCleanupScenario_DeletesForkBranch_WhenAllFieldsPresent (which made real HTTP calls) with three httptest-based tests: TestDeleteForkBranch_Success, TestDeleteForkBranch_NotFound, and TestDeleteForkBranch_UnexpectedStatus. Added a baseURL parameter to deleteForkBranch so tests can inject httptest.NewServer URLs. Added TestCleanupScenario_CallsDeleteForkBranch_WhenAllFieldsPresent to verify CleanupScenario's fork PR closure path without triggering HTTP calls.
  2. [error-handling] HTTP response body not drained before closing (pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup.go): Added io.Copy(io.Discard, resp.Body) before resp.Body.Close() in deleteForkBranch to enable HTTP/1.1 connection reuse via DefaultClient's connection pool.
  3. [code-organization] Fork cleanup inserted without comment separators (pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup.go): Added comment separators to CleanupScenario grouping the four cleanup phases: issue/PR cleanup, fork branch cleanup, artifact cleanup, and dummy script cleanup.

Disagreed (1):

  1. [architectural-violation] Direct HTTP call bypasses forge abstraction: The reviewer acknowledges this follows extensive existing precedent in pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go (5+ direct GitHub API functions). Adding DeleteBranch to forge.Client/scm.Driver requires interface changes, implementation in all forge backends, and updates to both pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go and this file — a scope significantly beyond this PR's purpose (adding fork dispatch e2e tests). The code already documents the gap with inline comments. Filed as a separate concern to track the interface gap.

Tests: passed

Decision points
  • How to make deleteForkBranch testable without real HTTP calls (alternatives: Add GitHubAPIBaseURL field to World struct, Use http.Client with custom transport, Test deleteForkBranch directly with httptest instead of through CleanupScenario; rationale: Added baseURL parameter to deleteForkBranch and tested it directly with httptest.NewServer. This avoids modifying the World struct for test-only concerns, follows the reviewer's suggested remediation ('pass the base URL into deleteForkBranch'), and provides better test coverage by verifying request path, auth header, and status code handling.)

🔧 Fix agent — iteration 2 (human-triggered)

Added 2 unit tests covering deleteForkBranch error paths (request creation failure and HTTP client failure). Patch coverage on new code improved from ~77% to ~95%, exceeding the 80% threshold. deleteForkBranch function is now at 100% coverage.

Fixed (1):

  1. patch coverage below 80% on new code: Added two unit tests for deleteForkBranch error paths: TestDeleteForkBranch_RequestCreationError (covers http.NewRequestWithContext failure via invalid URL) and TestDeleteForkBranch_HTTPClientError (covers http.DefaultClient.Do failure via closed server). This raises deleteForkBranch coverage from 77.8% to 100% and brings patch coverage on new lines from ~77% to ~95%.

Tests: passed

Decision points
  • Focused on deleteForkBranch error paths rather than CleanupScenario integration path (alternatives: Make base URL injectable in World struct to test CleanupScenario fork branch body, Test only the HTTP Do error path; rationale: Covering both deleteForkBranch error paths (4 lines) achieves ~95% patch coverage with minimal code changes. Making the base URL injectable would require modifying the World struct (scope creep) for only 1 additional line of coverage.)

…lation in cleanup

Route fork branch deletion through the forge abstraction instead of
making direct GitHub REST API calls from pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup.go.

- Add DeleteRef method to forge.Client interface and implement in GitHub
  LiveClient (using existing delete_ helper) and FakeClient
- Add DeleteBranch method to scm.Driver interface and implement in
  GitHub scm driver (wraps forge.Client.DeleteRef)
- Replace deleteForkBranch direct HTTP function in cleanup.go with
  w.SCM.DeleteBranch, removing net/http dependency and githubAPIBaseURL
- Replace httptest-based TestDeleteForkBranch_* tests with scm.Driver
  fake-based tests that verify the integration through CleanupScenario
- Remove w.Token guard on branch deletion (auth handled by forge client)

🔧 Fix agent — iteration 3 (human-triggered)

Fixed the architectural-violation finding by adding DeleteRef to forge.Client and DeleteBranch to scm.Driver, then routing cleanup.go through the forge abstraction instead of making direct GitHub REST API calls. This is a strategy change from iterations 1-2 which disagreed with the finding.

Fixed (1):

  1. architectural-violation: direct HTTP call to GitHub API bypasses forge abstraction (pkg/behaviourtest/steps/cleanup.go): Added DeleteRef to forge.Client interface (internal/forge/forge.go), implemented in GitHub LiveClient and FakeClient. Added DeleteBranch to scm.Driver interface and implemented in GitHub scm driver. Replaced deleteForkBranch direct HTTP function with w.SCM.DeleteBranch call, removing net/http dependency, githubAPIBaseURL constant, and the w.Token guard (auth is now handled by the forge client). Updated all tests to use scm.Driver fakes instead of httptest servers.

Tests: passed

Strategy change: Previous iterations disagreed with the architectural-violation, citing existing precedent in pkg/e2etest/cleanup.go. This iteration implements the proper fix by extending the forge.Client interface with DeleteRef, following the human reviewer's instruction that existing violations do not justify expanding them.

Decision points
  • Chose to add DeleteRef (generic ref deletion) to forge.Client rather than DeleteBranch (branch-specific), following the existing GetRef/GetBranchRef pattern where the generic method lives on forge.Client and scm.Driver wraps it with branch-specific semantics (alternatives: Add DeleteBranch directly to forge.Client, Add both DeleteRef and DeleteBranch to forge.Client; rationale: GetRef already exists on forge.Client with refPath parameter; DeleteRef mirrors it. Branch-specific semantics (prepending heads/) belong in the scm.Driver layer, matching the existing CreateBranch/CreateBranchRef pattern.)
  • Removed w.Token guard from branch deletion condition since auth is now handled by the forge client injected into scm.Driver (alternatives: Keep w.Token guard for backward compatibility; rationale: The w.Token field was only needed because the raw HTTP call had to manually set the Authorization header. The forge client already has credentials baked in at construction time, so the Token check is unnecessary and would prevent branch deletion when SCM is properly configured but Token happens to be empty.)

/fs-fix Address the remaining open review findings (API versioning / interface-breakage comments were dismissed — ignore those):

  1. Orphaned fork branch leak (pkg/behaviourtest/steps/fork.go): If CreateBranch succeeds but CommitFileToFork or CreateForkChangeProposal fails, w.ForkPRBranch is never set, so CleanupScenario skips branch deletion. Set w.ForkPRBranch = branch immediately after CreateBranch succeeds so cleanup can delete the branch even when later steps fail. Add/adjust a unit test if practical.

  2. Naming consistency (pkg/behaviourtest/drivers/scm/driver.go): Align CreateForkChangeProposal parameter names with CreateChangeProposal (head/base rather than headBranch/baseBranch), or document why the fork variant keeps distinct names if you intentionally keep them. Prefer the small rename for consistency unless it causes a large churn that isn't worth it — in that case leave a brief comment on the interface method and resolve the finding as won't-fix with rationale in the PR.

Do not reopen or "fix" the dismissed breaking-interface / DeleteBranch version-pin findings.

🔧 Fix agent — iteration 8 (human-triggered)

Addressed both remaining review findings: (1) fixed orphaned fork branch leak by setting ForkPRBranch immediately after CreateBranch succeeds, with test coverage for both error paths; (2) renamed CreateForkChangeProposal parameters headBranch/baseBranch to head/base for consistency with CreateChangeProposal.

Fixed (2):

  1. Orphaned fork branch leak (pkg/behaviourtest/steps/fork.go): Moved w.ForkPRBranch = branch immediately after CreateBranch succeeds, so CleanupScenario can delete the branch even when CommitFileToFork or CreateForkChangeProposal fails. Added test assertions in fork_test.go to verify ForkPRBranch is set on both error paths.
  2. Naming consistency for CreateForkChangeProposal parameters (pkg/behaviourtest/drivers/scm/driver.go): Renamed headBranch/baseBranch parameters to head/base in the interface definition and the github.go implementation, aligning with CreateChangeProposal's naming convention. The local variable in the cross-owner branch was renamed from head to headRef to avoid shadowing the parameter.

/fs-fix CI test job fails on go vet for commit aa54a972:

vet: internal/forge/gitlab/gitlab.go:31:22: cannot use (*LiveClient)(nil) as forge.Client value:
*LiveClient does not implement forge.Client (missing method CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal)

Cause

CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal was added to forge.Client for same-org GitHub fork PRs, but the GitLab LiveClient (and any other forge.Client implementations) were not updated. The compile-time var _ forge.Client = (*LiveClient)(nil) check in internal/forge/gitlab/gitlab.go fails.

Fix

  1. Implement CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal on every forge.Client implementation that is missing it — at minimum internal/forge/gitlab (and Forgejo/others if they have the same interface assertion).
  2. For non-GitHub forges, a clear unsupported / ErrNotImplemented-style return is fine if cross-repo PRs are GitHub-only for now — just make the interface compile and add a small unit test covering the stub/error path.
  3. Ensure go vet ./... (or make go-vet / staged lint) passes locally before pushing.

Do not remove the method from forge.Client or weaken the interface check.

…GitLab client

The forge.Client interface gained DeleteRef and CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal
in this PR branch, but the GitLab LiveClient (merged from main) was not
updated, causing a compile-time interface check failure (go vet).

- DeleteRef: implements branch and tag deletion via the GitLab Branches
  and Tags APIs, mapping "heads/<name>" and "tags/<name>" ref paths to
  the appropriate endpoints.
- CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal: returns forge.ErrNotSupported because
  GitLab handles fork MRs via its existing source_branch/target_branch
  API (the fork relationship is implicit in the project).
- Adds unit tests for both methods covering success, not-found, error,
  and unsupported-prefix paths.

🔧 Fix agent — iteration 9 (human-triggered)

Fixed go vet failure caused by GitLab LiveClient missing two new forge.Client interface methods (CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal, DeleteRef). Merged main to bring GitLab files onto the branch, implemented both methods, and added 5 unit tests. All tests and go vet pass.

Fixed (3):

  1. GitLab LiveClient missing CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal (internal/forge/gitlab/mr.go): Added CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal stub returning forge.ErrNotSupported, since GitLab handles fork MRs via its existing source_branch/target_branch API. Also merged main into the branch to bring the GitLab forge files onto the PR branch.
  2. GitLab LiveClient missing DeleteRef (internal/forge/gitlab/repo.go): Implemented DeleteRef using GitLab's Branches and Tags deletion APIs, mapping heads/ and tags/ ref path prefixes to the appropriate endpoints. Returns forge.ErrNotFound for missing refs and an error for unsupported ref path formats.
  3. Unit tests for new GitLab stub methods (internal/forge/gitlab/methods_test.go): Added 5 unit tests covering DeleteRef (branch success, tag success, not-found, unsupported prefix) and CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal (ErrNotSupported return).

Tests: passed

Strategy change: Previous iterations focused on the PR's own code (fork steps, cleanup, feature file). This iteration addresses a cross-branch integration issue — the GitLab forge client on main lacks methods added by this PR's interface changes.

Decision points
  • Chose to implement a real DeleteRef rather than a stub (alternatives: Return ErrNotSupported like CreateCrossRepoChangeProposal, Implement using GitLab Branches/Tags API; rationale: DeleteRef has a clear GitLab API mapping (DELETE /repository/branches/:name and /repository/tags/:name), so a real implementation is more useful than a stub and follows the same pattern as the GitHub implementation.)
  • Merged main into the PR branch to bring GitLab files (alternatives: Cherry-pick only the GitLab commit, Copy files manually from main; rationale: A merge is the standard approach to resolve divergence and ensures all dependencies (e.g., internal/poll package) are present. Cherry-picking risks missing transitive dependencies.)

Retro: PR #5309 — fork dispatch feature file, cleanup, and docs

Timeline

Review quality

Zero false positives. Every review finding was technically valid. The architectural-violation finding was the standout — the human strongly agreed and overruled the fix agent's initial disagreement.

Five false negatives. The human caught critical runtime bugs the review agent missed: (1) CEL typo "synchronize" vs "synchronized" — would silently prevent scenarios from triggering; (2) ADR 54 auth model blocks bot-opened fork PRs — required trigger redesign; (3) missing CreateBranch before CommitFileToFork — caused 404s despite existing same-repo path having the correct sequence; (4) same-org fork REST API 422 — required GraphQL with explicit headRepositoryId; (5) GitLab compile failure from new interface methods.

Rework rate

9 iterations is high. ~5.5 were avoidable:

  • Iterations 1–3: Basic quality issues (real HTTP in tests, coverage below 80%, forge abstraction violation despite explicit AGENTS.md rule)
  • Iteration 4: Missing CreateBranch — dispatch.go in the same package had the correct pattern
  • Iteration 6 (failed): Fix agent modified .github/workflows/e2e.yml per human instruction, but its token lacks workflows permission
  • Iterations 5, 8: Legitimate discoveries from testing and review refinement
  • Iterations 7, 9: Cascading from the forge abstraction refactor

The forge abstraction disagreement in iteration 1 was especially costly — the fix agent cited precedent to justify expanding the violation, the human overruled, and the subsequent proper fix cascaded into 4+ additional iterations.

Evidence for existing issues

Proposals filed

waynesun09 added a commit that referenced this pull request Jul 23, 2026
Add docs/contributing/cel-triggers.md documenting that harness trigger
CEL expressions and .feature CEL filters match the normalized event
model, not raw forge webhook action names. The raw name silently
evaluates false, so a mismatched trigger never fires (root cause of the
PR #5309 fork-dispatch bug: "synchronize" vs normalized "synchronized").

The file is CEL/normalized-event focused rather than coupling CEL editing
to behaviour-test authoring: CEL expressions appear in harnesses whether
or not BT exercises them, and BT covers plenty unrelated to CEL. It
points to docs/normative/normalized-event/v1/README.md as the source of
truth for the full transition-kind vocabulary and per-kind sub-object /
entity.kind requirements instead of duplicating a table that drifts.

Add a "CEL Triggers" row to the AGENTS.md topic-guidance index. The
website sidebar auto-discovers docs/contributing/ via getMarkdownFiles(),
so no vitepress config change is needed.

Closes #5402

Add docs/contributing/cel-triggers.md documenting that harness trigger
CEL expressions and .feature CEL filters match the normalized event
model, not raw forge webhook action names. The raw name silently
evaluates false, so a mismatched trigger never fires (root cause of the
PR #5309 fork-dispatch bug: "synchronize" vs normalized "synchronized").

The file is CEL/normalized-event focused rather than coupling CEL editing
to behaviour-test authoring: CEL expressions appear in harnesses whether
or not BT exercises them, and BT covers plenty unrelated to CEL. It
points to docs/normative/normalized-event/v1/README.md as the source of
truth for the full transition-kind vocabulary and per-kind sub-object /
entity.kind requirements instead of duplicating a table that drifts.
