Note @don-petry I reviewed this PR and no code changes were needed, but it still has blocking checks or reviews (failing or cancelled checks, or changes-requested reviews), so I cannot mark it done yet. I'll re-check automatically. |

Code Review
This pull request introduces a new workflow and supporting scripts to automatically dismiss stale, allow-listed bot reviews on superseded commits. The implementation includes a pure decision core, an I/O orchestrator utilizing the GitHub GraphQL API, and comprehensive BATS unit and integration tests. The reviewer's feedback is highly actionable and focuses on improving script efficiency and test reliability. Key recommendations include pre-parsing the bot allowlist into an associative array to avoid subshell calls in loops, using the jq try operator for safer JSON parsing, and asserting exact exit statuses in BATS tests instead of generic non-zero checks or negation to prevent false positives.

This workflow only runs for a future synchronize event (or a newly submitted review); merging it does not replay either event for already-open PRs. Consequently the stale bot review already blocking #1094—and any other review made stale before this workflow is deployed—remains blocking until another commit is pushed or another review is submitted. Add a targeted dispatch/backfill path (or explicitly dismiss the known review) so the stated existing blocker is actually cleared.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Skipping this one — a code change here would conflict with the workflow's own hard constraints. The stub carries an explicit AGENTS — READ BEFORE EDITING block: "You MUST NOT change: the trigger event types (synchronize + submitted), the fork guard, or the job-level permissions block." A workflow_dispatch/backfill path can't function without touching exactly those: the fork guard (if: github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository) and the concurrency group both key off github.event.pull_request, which is null for a dispatch event, so the job would be skipped on dispatch unless the guard is rewritten. This file is also a verbatim copy of standards/workflows/dismiss-stale-bot-reviews.yml and must stay byte-identical, so the change couldn't be confined here.
The stated blocker (the stale review on #1094) clears through the designed mechanism — the next synchronize (any push) or pull_request_review submitted event on that PR triggers this workflow against the settled head. A one-time backfill/manual dismissal is an operational action rather than a change to this self-contained stub; leaving this thread open for maintainer follow-up if a dedicated backfill path is desired.

Skipping — re-confirmed this pass. A backfill/workflow_dispatch path cannot be added without violating this stub's hard constraints: the AGENTS — READ BEFORE EDITING block (line 18) forbids changing the trigger event types, and both the fork guard (if: github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository, line 55) and the concurrency group (line 48) key off github.event.pull_request, which is null for a workflow_dispatch event — so the job would be skipped on dispatch unless those forbidden lines were rewritten. This file is also byte-identical to standards/workflows/dismiss-stale-bot-reviews.yml (verified this pass) and must stay so, so no fix could be confined here.

Review — fix requested (cycle 2/3)The automated review identified the following issues. Please address each one: Findings to fixAutomated review — NEEDS HUMAN REVIEWRisk: MEDIUM SummaryRe-review of the dismiss-stale-bot-reviews implementation (#1115) at the same head SHA as the prior fix-requested review (cycle 1) — no new commits have been pushed, so every prior blocking finding carries forward, and reviewers have since added new unresolved threads. The implementation itself remains strong (least-privilege permissions, SHA-pinned checkout, fork guard, Bot-typename-gated allow-list, latestReviews pagination, fail-closed decisions, green CI including the new bats suite), but 8 review threads are unresolved, coderabbitai's CHANGES_REQUESTED still blocks reviewDecision, and acceptance criterion #4 (PR #1094 actually unblocks) is still not demonstrated.

The errors-envelope handling after the dismissal mutation is likely unreachable with the real gh. gh api graphql exits non-zero when the response contains GraphQL errors, for example when the review was already dismissed or the token lacks permission. mutation_resp="$(gh_api_retry ...)" then fails under set -euo pipefail, so the whole script aborts after the retry backoff. The remaining stale reviews are never examined and the job fails. A single failed or raced dismissal therefore blocks every later one. The tests mask this because the fake gh always exits 0.
Fix: tolerate a failed mutation and continue the loop.
if ! mutation_resp="$(gh_api_retry gh api graphql ... )"; then
echo "::warning::dismissal of review ${review_id} failed; leaving it in place"
continue
fiThe same applies to the per-iteration head recheck at lines 189-193, which also aborts the script on a transient failure.
