Problem

`comment-success` only ever edited the sticky comment if one already
existed. That made sense before the Reserve workflow (#551)
existed -- a passing PR that never failed got no comment at all, by
design. Now that `e2e-reserve-comment-on-start.yml` posts a "⏳ Running"
placeholder unconditionally as soon as a suite starts, a passing/skipped
run should always update that same comment, not only when one happens to
already exist.

Fix

Removed the `if: steps.comment.outputs.id != ''` guard from all three of
`comment-success`'s remaining steps. "Upsert PR comment" already handles
create-vs-update based on whether `COMMENT_ID` is set, so no other logic
needed to change.

This also closes a real gap surfaced live while testing PR osac#980:
Reserve's own `workflow_run` type `requested` doesn't fire for reruns
of an existing run (confirmed live -- an `/e2e-ready` replay there reused
the same run IDs and never got a fresh placeholder). A suite whose
first-ever completion is a rerun with no pre-existing comment now still
gets one created from scratch here, instead of silently no-opping.

Testing

  • Live-verified `upsert-pr-comment.py` creates a correct, well-formed
    comment from scratch for a "Passing" section with no prior comment
    (previously only ever exercised via the `diagnose` job's failure path).
  • `test_ai_diagnose_failure.py`: all 52 tests pass (unaffected).
  • `actionlint` clean.

Summary

  • CI: Updated comment-success to always upsert the sticky pull request comment.
  • Successful and skipped runs can create a comment when none exists, including reruns.
  • Existing comments continue to be updated.
  • The workflow uses PATCH when COMMENT_ID exists and POST otherwise.
  • No API, controller, database, auth, deployment, or documentation changes.
  • Tests: 52 test_ai_diagnose_failure.py tests passed. actionlint passed. Comment creation from scratch was verified.
  • Backward compatibility: Existing comment-update behavior remains unchanged.

Risk classification

risk:ship — The change is limited to CI comment handling and preserves existing update behavior. Formal criteria for risk:ship, risk:show, and risk:ask were not supplied, so proximity to another classification cannot be assessed.

Walkthrough

The workflow now prepares and upserts the passing or skipped diagnostic comment without requiring an existing comment. It preserves updates for existing comments and creates comments when none exists.

Changes

Diagnostic comment upsert

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prepare and upsert success comment
.github/workflows/ai-diagnostic-e2e.yml
The success path builds the comment for new and existing cases. The upsert step creates a comment when COMMENT_ID is absent and updates it when present.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested labels: risk:show

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e5ab6

The workflow safely serializes runs for the same PR branch, and the new POST/PATCH behavior supports both creating and updating the diagnostic comment. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains.

…one exists

comment-success previously only edited the sticky comment if one already
existed ("never create one just to say things are fine"), which made
sense before the Reserve workflow existed: a passing PR that never failed
got no comment at all, by design.

Now that e2e-reserve-comment-on-start.yml posts a "Running" placeholder
unconditionally as soon as a suite starts, a passing/skipped run should
always update that same comment instead of only doing so when one happens
to already exist. Removed the `if: steps.comment.outputs.id != ''` guard
from all three of this job's remaining steps.

This also closes a real gap surfaced live on PR #980: Reserve's own
workflow_run type "requested" doesn't fire for reruns of an existing run
(confirmed -- the /e2e-ready replay there reused the same run IDs and
never got a fresh placeholder), so a suite whose first-ever completion is
a rerun with no pre-existing comment now still gets one created here from
scratch, rather than silently no-opping.

Also fixes a bug caught in review, in this same job: "Upsert PR comment"
unconditionally PATCHed .../issues/comments/${COMMENT_ID} regardless of
whether COMMENT_ID was actually set -- an incorrect claim in an earlier
version of this commit's own message said this step "already handles
create-vs-update", but it didn't; only the diagnose job's identical-
looking step does. Every live test so far (PR #980, this PR's own runs)
masked this because Reserve had always already created the comment
before comment-success ran, so COMMENT_ID was never actually empty in
practice -- but the exact "rerun with no pre-existing comment" case this
change was written to fix would have hit a malformed PATCH to
.../issues/comments/ with no ID and silently failed to post anything.
Now branches on COMMENT_ID the same way the diagnose job does: PATCH an
existing comment, POST a new one otherwise.

Testing:
- Live-verified upsert-pr-comment.py creates a correct, well-formed
  comment from scratch for a "Passing" section with no prior comment
  (previously only exercised for the diagnose job's failure path).
- test_ai_diagnose_failure.py: all 52 tests pass (unaffected).
- actionlint clean.
