There was a problem hiding this comment. 🟡 Thread replies do not trigger follow-up When a reviewer replies to an answered thread without submitting a review, Learn moreThe skip condition waits for a new comment after Gardener's last answer. But a reply to a review thread can arrive as a Example: Gardener declines a thread and replies. A maintainer adds a standalone review-thread reply showing a reproduction. No new review is submitted; the task never checks the reply. Recommended fix: Add a suitably guarded review-comment trigger for follow-up replies and ensure Gardener's own replies cannot loop, or direct maintainers to submit a new review when they want a reply reconsidered.

| review that started this run as feedback to verify, since a reviewer may write findings there | ||
| rather than inline. | ||
| 4. **Verify each finding.** Read the code and reproduce the problem, ideally with a failing test. | ||
| A finding is real only if you can show it. Decline the rest, with a reason. | ||
| 5. **Fix the real ones** in the checkout using `repository.exec`. Keep changes minimal and focused | ||
| on the findings. Add or update tests for each fix. Run the relevant tests and checks. | ||
| 6. **Push.** If you changed anything, propose one `commit.create` as step `fix`, on the pull | ||
| request's head branch, with `expectedHeadSha` set to the checked-out commit and a short message | ||
| listing the fixes. If nothing needs to change, propose no commit: that is what ends the review | ||
| loop. If there is also nothing to answer, propose nothing at all. | ||
| 7. **Answer each thread in place.** For every thread you are answering, propose one | ||
| `pull_request.review_comment.reply` with `commentId` set to the `databaseId` of the thread's | ||
| first comment. | ||
| - **Fixed:** say what changed and which test shows it, and link the commit. Write `{{commit}}` | ||
| in the body and add the reference | ||
| `{"/body": {"placeholders": {"commit": {"step": "fix", "output": "commitUrl"}}}}`. | ||
| - **Declined:** say why, with the evidence. | ||
| - Keep each reply under 120 words. | ||
| 8. **Resolve what you fixed.** For each thread this round's commit fixed, propose one | ||
| `pull_request.review_thread.resolve` with `threadId` set to the thread's `id`. Never resolve a | ||
| thread you declined or didn't fix: those stay open for a maintainer. | ||
| 9. **Summarise.** Propose one `pull_request.comment.create` whose body starts with | ||
| `<!-- gardener-review-round -->` on its own line, then one line per thread (fixed or declined), | ||
| an answer to any feedback in the review body, and which tests you ran and whether they passed. | ||
| Keep it under 150 words. | ||

| Propose the steps in this order: the commit, the replies, the resolves, the summary. A plan may | ||
| have at most 40 steps, so answer at most 15 threads in one round, and say in the summary that more | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. 🟡 Excess review threads remain unanswered With more than 15 threads, Learn moreThe task runs on a submitted pull request review, not on its own commit, thread replies, or summary comment. Its 15-thread limit leaves excess threads pending, but no further task run is scheduled just because work remains. The three-round limit also means a large initial review cannot all be answered through automatic rounds without new submitted reviews. Example: A review contains 16 unresolved threads. The first run replies to 15 and posts a summary saying one remains for the next round. No next run starts, so the sixteenth thread receives no response. Recommended fix: Arrange a bounded follow-up run for remaining threads, or remove the artificial per-round truncation while adjusting the effect budget safely. Keep the round limit and termination conditions consistent with the maximum review size. Was this helpful? React with 👍 or 👎 to provide feedback. |

🟡 Later review threads go unseen
When a pull request has over 100 review threads,
reviewThreads(first: 100)excludes later threads. Unresolved findings beyond that page receive no answer.Learn more
GitHub's
reviewThreadsis a paginated connection. Requesting only its first 100 nodes can hide unanswered threads even when most of those 100 have already been resolved. The task never tells the model to requestpageInfoor useafterto fetch later pages.Example: A pull request has 100 resolved threads followed by one new unresolved thread. The query returns only the resolved ones, so the new finding is never inspected or answered.
Recommended fix: Request
pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }and paginatereviewThreadsuntil every page has been checked. Then apply any per-round answer limit to the unresolved threads collected across all pages.Was this helpful? React with 👍 or 👎 to provide feedback.
