User description

Summary

Add a narrowly scoped, base-governed PR-size exception registry for the deterministic report replacement in PR #539.

Security boundary

  • The existing CI workflow continues to execute the checker copied from the base ref.
  • The checker reads the exception registry from the base SHA, never from the PR head.
  • Matching requires the exact repository, PR number, base ref, head ref, trusted pull-request event identity, and explicit changed-path allowlist.
  • Malformed or ambiguous base policy fails closed; absent policy means no exception.

Budget partition

Validation

  • Targeted checker tests: 54 passed.
  • Single-checker TypeScript: passed.
  • pnpm run ci:prepush: passed.
  • Signed commit and pre-push signature verification: passed.

Summary by Sourcery

Add a base-governed PR-size exception mechanism that permits tightly scoped graph-report churn without weakening standard pull-request limits.

New Features:

  • Add a base-controlled PR-size exception registry for narrowly scoped generated graph-report changes.
  • Support exact pull-request identity and changed-path matching before applying per-file supplemental allowances.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fail closed when exception policy is malformed, ambiguous, unavailable from the base revision, missing pull-request context, or outside the permitted scope.

Enhancements:

  • Preserve ordinary file, non-exempt line, and commit ceilings while reporting exception status, usage, identity, scope, and effective limits.

Documentation:

  • Update README test metrics to reflect the expanded test suite.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for allowance partitioning, path and identity enforcement, budget ceilings, base-only policy loading, and fail-closed behavior.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Add a base-controlled exception for narrowly scoped pull-request report changes

What Changed

  • Allows PR chore(graphs): harden dual-graph tooling with pinned versions and fingerprint-based freshness #539 to include specified generated graph reports within per-file line allowances while ordinary files still use the standard size limits
  • Applies exceptions only when the repository, PR, base branch, head branch, changed paths, and pull-request context match exactly
  • Loads exception rules from the base revision and blocks malformed, ambiguous, missing-context, head-only, or out-of-scope policies
  • Keeps file and commit ceilings enforced, prevents unused allowance from moving between report files, and reports applied limits and usage
  • Adds coverage for matching, scope enforcement, budget failures, and fail-closed behavior; updates documented test counts

Impact

✅ Controlled graph-report regeneration in PR #539
✅ Ordinary PR size limits remain enforced
✅ Clearer PR-size exception status and limit reporting

This PR implements a well-architected PR-size exception registry with strong security boundaries. The implementation correctly reads the exception configuration from the base branch (preventing PR authors from self-excepting), validates PR identity against GitHub events, enforces strict path scoping, and includes comprehensive test coverage with 54 targeted tests.

The security model is sound: the exception registry is base-governed, requires exact matching of repository/PR number/base ref/head ref, validates all paths against an explicit allowlist, and fails closed on any ambiguity or malformed policy.

The changes are ready to merge.


You can now have the agent implement changes and create commits directly on your pull request's source branch. Simply comment with /q followed by your request in natural language to ask the agent to make changes.

Reviewer's Guide

Introduces a fail-closed, base-governed PR-size exception mechanism that applies only to an exact trusted PR identity and explicit report paths, while preserving independent global and per-path limits; the checker now emits governance details and has comprehensive validation coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d48d0

This change adds narrowly scoped, base-governed PR-size exceptions while preserving ordinary limits and fail-closed matching. The remaining concerns are limited to clearer validation errors, small test-helper deduplication, and an uncovered malformed-JSON branch; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Extract the shared registry-path safety check.

Add a case for unparsable registry JSON.

registry: '{' is serialized by JSON.stringify in the mock, so git show returns "{". JSON.parse succeeds and returns the string '{', which then fails the schemaVersion check. The JSON.parse failure branch in readBaseExceptionRegistry stays uncovered. Add a dependency override that returns raw invalid JSON for the show call, so the fail-closed parse path is exercised.
