Summary

cmux-ad decided on 2026-10-30 (decision 788) that a risk:high PR needs a review receipt on its exact head. docs/ci/risk-tiers.md:21 already says this. The reason: a base merge can change what a risk:high patch does even when there is no conflict.

next-autoland now applies the rule (cmuxterm-hq#5420, exact_receipt). But gh-merge-green's matcher, scripts/ci/review_receipt.py, still accepted a carried SHIP line (Review (...; carried): SHIP at <head> or "... carried from ...") for risk:high. That is a second path to the same gate.

With this change:

  • The review read also asks for the PR's labels.
  • For risk:high, ship_receipt ignores carried lines (exact=True), and the refusal message says why.
  • risk:normal and risk:low keep the carry.

After this merges, cmuxterm-hq's byte-identical copy (tools/agent-guards/review_receipt.py and its .source pin) needs an update.

Testing

  • python3 tests/test_review_receipt.py: 5 failures on main and 48 OK at the head. The new RiskHighExactHead tests cover:
    • both carried-line forms are refused for risk:high (in any case) and still pass for risk:normal, risk:low and no tier;
    • an own SHIP or an approval of the exact head passes;
    • a newer BLOCK still takes the receipt back.
  • python3 tests/test_gh_merge_green.py: 169 OK.
  • python3 scripts/verify-local.py --affected origin/main: 16 of 16 checks passed.

Observed / Not run

  • Observed: the unit tests above.
  • Not run: a live gh-merge-green merge.

Changelog

none

Risk: this changes an enforcer of the risk gate (gh-merge-green). It merges only on an independent review receipt on the exact head.

Summary by cubic

Enforces that a risk:high PR requires an independent review receipt on its exact head; a carried SHIP no longer counts for it. A base merge can change what a risk:high patch does even without a conflict, so docs/ci/risk-tiers.md already demands an exact-head receipt; next-autoland applies this rule but gh-merge-green's matcher still accepted carried SHIP lines.

  • The review read now also fetches the PR's labels to detect the risk:high tier (any case).
  • For risk:high, ship_receipt ignores carried receipts (exact=True), and the refusal message says why.
  • risk:normal and risk:low PRs keep the existing carry behavior.
  • After this merges, cmuxterm-hq's byte-identical copy (tools/agent-guards/review_receipt.py and its .source pin) needs the same update.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Pull requests labeled risk:high now require an independent SHIP receipt or approval for the exact commit being reviewed. A SHIP receipt carried over from an earlier commit does not meet this requirement.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Other label configurations continue to accept carried SHIP receipts, and a newer BLOCK on a different commit continues to prevent approval.

… its exact head; no carried SHIP counts

cmux-ad, 2026-10-30, decision 788: risk:high needs a receipt on the exact head (docs/ci/risk-tiers.md:21; a base merge
can change what a risk:high patch does even with no conflict). next-autoland applies it (cmuxterm-hq#5420,
exact_receipt); gh-merge-green's matcher still took a carried SHIP line for risk:high, a second path to the same gate.
The review read now asks for the labels; for risk:high, ship_receipt ignores carried lines (exact=True) and the refusal
says why. risk:normal and risk:low keep the carry.

Tests: python3 tests/test_review_receipt.py: 5 failures on main, 48 OK here; tests/test_gh_merge_green.py 169 OK;
scripts/verify-local.py --affected origin/main 16/16 passed.

Review (independent review subagent, Claude Opus 5.5, correctness first): SHIP at 293dac8

The reviewer found no path where a risk:high PR passes on a carried line or on another head's receipt. Label case is handled, and the review_state and window cut-off paths are unchanged. risk:normal and risk:low behave the same as before, byte for byte. tests/test_review_receipt.py: 48 OK. tests/test_gh_merge_green.py: 169 OK.

Open notes, all low:

  • A PR with no tier label at all is not treated as high. This happens if risk-tier.yml fails between removing the old label and adding the new one.
  • A REST-shaped labels list makes the script fail closed (exit 1).
  • A carry tool that writes a line without the word carried is read as an own SHIP. This was already true before this PR.

Walkthrough

The review receipt flow now reads pull-request labels. For risk:high pull requests, a carried SHIP does not satisfy the receipt requirement. An independent SHIP or approval for the exact head can satisfy it.

The exact-head requirement is enforced, but refusal messages give conflicting guidance about carried receipts. This wording issue is suitable for a bounded follow-up.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is mostly complete. It explains the problem and resulting behavior, lists focused tests and observed results, records what was not run, and includes a changelog entry. The Proof and Checklist sections are omitted, but they are non-critical for this CI-only change.

Full details: Cmux Cloud Persistent Session And Early Input

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. The diff contains no Cloud terminal creation, cmux-tui transport, manual renderer, input routing, or session fence changes. The custom check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS: The reviewed diff changes only Python files (scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py). It introduces no production Swift changes, so the Swift actor-isolation failure conditions do not apply.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. It introduces no production Swift changes, so the Swift blocking-runtime condition is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. It adds no browser.* socket command, WebKit/AppKit access, worker-router change, or browser policy test. The browser automation off-main rule is therefore not applicable, and the existing browser automation debt is not worsened.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

The pull request changes only scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. It contains no Swift changes and does not add or move any synchronous agent-history load onto a main-actor or interactive path.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only Python files: scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. The custom check applies to production Swift, TypeScript, and JavaScript changes, so it is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

The pull request changes review-label parsing and receipt selection only. The production diff adds no sleep, timer, polling, fixed delay, or wall-clock synchronization. The only timeout remains existing unchanged subprocess handling, and the added tests are deterministic.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The production diff adds one linear high_risk scan over PR labels. The GraphQL query explicitly bounds labels to 100 items, so this is a documented small collection. The other changes add a boolean branch and message formatting. They do not add nested full-collection scans, per-target rescans, repeated hot-path sorting/filtering, in-memory joins, or a slower algorithm for roughly 1000 records. Existing review and comment scans are unchanged.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The pull request changes only scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. The reviewed diff contains no Swift files or cmux-owned Swift code, so it introduces no legacy Swift concurrency pattern.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

The pull request changes only scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. The reviewed diff contains no Swift files, Swift package manifests, or production Swift changes. The Swift package boundary rule is not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

The pull request changes only scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. It does not change a SwiftPM package, Xcode project, .gitignore, workflow, or dependency declaration. The SwiftPM lockfile policy is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

PASS: The diff changes scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and its tests. The new refusal text contains only the generic risk tier and exact-head review requirement. gh-merge-green forwards this text to its merge-gate stderr, but the repository documents that tool as an optional internal merge helper for operators. No concrete path reaches a cmux end user, and the diff exposes no secret, payload, vendor error, credential, or other prohibited detail.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only a CI review-receipt Python script and its tests. Added prose is operational documentation or a merge-gate diagnostic, and the label query uses a literal protocol field. No Swift UI text, app catalog, web UI, API response, rendered markdown, changelog, or locale-specific message was changed.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

The pull request changes only Python files: scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. The diff contains no Swift architecture change and does not introduce sleeps, delayed dispatch, polling, locks, observers, side channels, duplicate entrypoint wiring, or split UI lifecycle ownership.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

The pull request changes only Python files: scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. It adds no Swift NSWindow, NSPanel, NSWindowController, SwiftUI Window, or WindowGroup code. The auxiliary-window close-shortcut rule is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

The pull request changes only scripts/ci/review_receipt.py and tests/test_review_receipt.py. The diff contains hand-written CI source, documentation comments, and unit tests for the risk:high receipt rule. It adds no logs, screenshots, recordings, caches, build output, scratch directories, dependency checkouts, or other copied artifacts.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 6 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The new labels(first:100) read has no pagination or completeness check, so a risk:high label outside that window may be invisible to high_risk.

The merge gate may accept a carried SHIP for a risk:high pull request without an independent receipt on its exact head.

This can occur when: A pull request has more than 100 labels and GitHub returns 100 other labels before risk:high.

Omit the carry sentence from risk:high refusals.

For a risk:high pull request, decide() states that no carried SHIP counts. main() then appends that a carried SHIP counts while the newest independent verdict is a SHIP. The refusal therefore gives both rules in one message. Gate behavior is unchanged, but the text misstates the rule for risk:high. Make main() append the carry sentence only when high_risk(pr) is false. pr is in scope in main(), and high_risk is a module-level function.
