Closes #1409

Implemented by dev-lead agent. Please review.


CodeAnt-AI Description

Align agent workflows with the interaction standard and prevent CI analysis loops

What Changed

  • CI Failure Analyst now responds to completed check runs, analyzes only failed checks on non-fork pull requests, and skips its own checks to prevent loops.
  • Pull requests can be resolved from the check's commit when the check does not include a direct pull-request association.
  • Diagnostic comments use check-run details and remain limited to one comment per failed commit.
  • Agent documentation now records each role's triggers, outputs, idempotency behavior, concurrency, and budget expectations.
  • AGENTS.md now requires new or changed agent workflows to follow the interaction standard and include CI-verified interaction contracts.

Impact

✅ Fewer CI analysis loops
✅ No diagnostic comments on fork pull requests
✅ One failure comment per commit
✅ Consistent agent workflow behavior

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Auto-generate workflow spec docs from lock.yml + contracts
  • ➕ Eliminates spec-vs-deployed drift by construction
  • ➕ Makes the lock file the single source of truth, with contracts as the machine-checked interface
  • ➖ Requires new generation tooling and CI wiring
  • ➖ Generated docs can be less friendly to edit/review than curated prose
2. Relax the orphaned-lock detector to not require sibling .md
  • ➕ Removes duplicated trigger/permissions blocks that can drift
  • ➕ Simplifies maintaining byte-frozen stubs
  • ➖ Changes existing gh-aw compile/validation invariants
  • ➖ Loses the convenient human-readable sibling spec in workflows/
3. Move all per-role interaction contract pointers into a single index page
  • ➕ Single navigation hub for reviewers and contributors
  • ➕ Reduces repeated boilerplate across per-agent docs
  • ➖ Per-agent docs become less self-contained
  • ➖ Still needs discipline to keep the index updated alongside role changes

Recommendation: The PR’s approach (explicitly wiring the normative standard into AGENTS.md and adding contract links in each agent’s doc) is the right near-term tradeoff: it improves discoverability without introducing new tooling. If drift between deployed stubs and documentation remains a recurring issue, consider auto-generating the gh-aw/spec-facing blocks from the lock.yml + interaction contracts to make consistency automatic.

Code Review

This pull request adds "Interaction contract" sections to several agent documentation files (including AGENTS.md, ci-failure-analyst.md, spec.md, and pr-review-agent.md) to document how agentic roles are triggered and how they interact under the normative agentic interaction model. The feedback points out that the dev-lead specification should be updated to mention both its Class 1 event-driven path and its Class 2 self-heal backstop timer to accurately reflect the architecture and maintain consistency with other agent documentation.

Remediation recommended

1. Comment output lacks permission ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
.github/workflows/ci-failure-analyst.md removes safe-outputs.add-comment.staged: true, which
makes the spec describe a live PR comment action, but its front-matter permissions are still
read-only (missing issues: write), so listing/creating PR comments via the Issues comments API
would fail if this gh-aw source is executed/compiled. This contradicts the doc’s stated “deployed
runtime” posture (live posting with issues: write + pull-requests: write) and makes the retained
source misleading/unusable.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The PR removes the only configuration (staged: true) that would keep add-comment from being a
live write action, yet the same spec file still requests only read-level permissions. In contrast,
the actual deployed stub and the repo docs explicitly require issues: write (and `pull-requests:
write`) for posting PR comments, matching the established pattern from a prior accepted bug.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
The gh-aw source `.github/workflows/ci-failure-analyst.md` now allows a live `add-comment` safe output (because `staged: true` was removed), but the same file’s `permissions:` block does not include `issues: write`, which is required to create PR comments via the Issues comments API.

### Issue Context
The deployed runtime stub (`.github/workflows/ci-failure-analyst.lock.yml`) explicitly uses `issues: write` to post/read PR comments and documents that requirement; the md source now claims its posture is “kept in sync” with that live stub.

### Fix
Pick one (based on intended behavior of this `.md` source):
1) **If this `.md` is meant to be executable/accurate as a live gh-aw workflow**: update its front-matter permissions to include at least `issues: write` (and likely `pull-requests: write` to match the deployed stub’s posture).
2) **If this `.md` is not meant to post live**: restore `safe-outputs.add-comment.staged: true` so the read-only permissions remain coherent.

Cascade: triage → deep (triage: haiku 4.5 → deep: opus 4.8 + duck: o4-mini → audit: fable 5)

Summary

Docs/spec PR wiring the agentic-interaction standard into AGENTS.md and per-agent docs, plus reconciling the ci-failure-analyst gh-aw source (.md) with its byte-frozen deployed lock (workflow_run -> check_run, fork-PR noop, own-check skip). No security dimension: no secrets/auth/migrations, caller-stub-freeze passed, and the new fork noop + loop guard are safety improvements. Verified gemini's escalation signal against the code: dev-lead-retry.yml (cron 15 */2 * * *, role self-heal) is a real Class 2 backstop and the PR's own interaction-contracts/dev-lead.yml folds it in, yet docs/dev-lead/spec.md still labels dev-lead a 'Class 1 event-driven role' only. Escalate (not approve): a valid advisory-bot finding is unaddressed (gate fails), but the fix is documentation accuracy — no security-audit tier needed. Downstream impact: (none).

Findings

  • MAJOR: dev-lead spec's new Interaction contract section calls dev-lead a 'Class 1 event-driven role' only, but dev-lead-retry.yml (schedule cron '15 */2 * * *', concurrency group dev-lead-retry) is a Class 2 self-heal backstop timer, and the linked interaction-contracts/dev-lead.yml explicitly folds in 'the Class-2 self-heal backstop dev-lead-retry.yml' (timers[].role: self-heal, event_fast_path: null flagged as the LEAK per standard section 6.3). This contradicts the machine-readable contract it links to and is inconsistent with docs/pr-review-agent/pr-review-agent.md in the same PR, which correctly pairs a Class 1 event fast-path with a Class 2 backstop timer. Reword to pair the Class 1 event-driven path with the Class 2 self-heal backstop (per gemini-code-assist's suggestion) so the prose, the contract, and the deployed workflows agree.
  • INFO: ci-failure-analyst.md safe-outputs.add-comment drops 'staged: true' (now posts live) alongside the workflow_run -> check_run trigger switch. Consistent with the PR's stated intent to keep this retained gh-aw source in sync with the byte-frozen deployed lock (which posts live); caller-stub-freeze passed, so the frozen .lock.yml was not touched. New guards correctly noop on fork PRs and skip the analyst's own check to prevent loops. No action needed; noted for the record.
  • INFO: run_secret_scanning MCP tool not available in this environment; gitleaks CI check passed and the diff is documentation-only, so no additional secret-scan performed. CANCELLED checks (dev-lead/dispatch, guard) are superseded by later SUCCESS runs of the same check names; all substantive checks (Lint, CodeQL, gitleaks, shellcheck, SonarCloud, unit-tests, validate-interaction-contracts) are green. mergeStateStatus BLOCKED reflects the pending org-leads REVIEW_REQUIRED gate, not a CI failure.

Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)

Summary

Re-review after cycle-1 fixes. Docs/spec-only PR wiring the agentic-interaction standard into AGENTS.md and per-agent docs, and reconciling the ci-failure-analyst gh-aw source with its byte-frozen deployed lock (workflow_run → check_run, live posting, fork-PR noop, own-check loop guard). The single MAJOR finding from the prior cascade review (dev-lead spec labeled 'Class 1 only', contradicting its interaction contract) is resolved by commit 032c43f, which rewords docs/dev-lead/spec.md to pair the Class 1 event path with the Class 2 self-heal backstop (dev-lead-retry.yml) — matching gemini's suggestion and the pr-review doc's phrasing. No new issues introduced; the fix commit touches only that file.

Linked issue analysis

Closes #1409. All five acceptance criteria are substantively met: (1) AGENTS.md gains the 'Agentic interaction model' normative section linking docs/agentic-interaction-model.md; (2) docs/dev-lead/spec.md, docs/pr-review-agent/pr-review-agent.md, and docs/aw/ci-failure-analyst.md each gain an 'Interaction contract' subsection linking the role's machine-readable contract and the standard; (3) the ci-failure-analyst spec/deploy divergence is reconciled — the .md source now declares check_run:[completed] and live posting (staged: true removed), matching the deployed .lock.yml; (4) the frozen .lock.yml is untouched (caller-stub-freeze green), so deployed runtime behavior is unchanged; (5) no new schedule.cron or trigger introduced.

Findings

  • Resolved (prior MAJOR): dev-lead spec Class 1/Class 2 mislabel — fixed in 032c43f; gemini-code-assist's thread is resolved with a reply documenting the change.
  • Dismissed (false positive): qodo-code-review's open thread claims the staged:true removal leaves ci-failure-analyst.md unable to post comments because front-matter permissions lack issues:write. In gh-aw, safe-outputs.add-comment is executed by a compiler-generated output job with its own write-scoped token — a read-only main-job permissions block is the correct gh-aw pattern, and the gh-aw-compile / 'Compile agentic workflows' checks pass. Moreover this .md is retained source only (kept to satisfy the orphaned-lock detector); the deployed runtime is the byte-frozen .lock.yml, which declares issues:write + pull-requests:write. The prior cascade audit reached the same conclusion (INFO, no action needed). Non-blocking.
  • INFO: run_secret_scanning MCP tool not available in this environment; gitleaks CI passed and the diff is documentation/spec-only, so no additional secret scan performed.

CI status

All substantive checks green at 032c43f: Lint (shellcheck, actionlint, caller-stub-freeze, template-drift, validate-interaction-contracts, gh-aw-compile, etc.), CI (ShellCheck, Agent Security Scan, Compile agentic workflows, gitleaks), CodeQL (actions + python), SonarCloud quality gate passed (0 new issues), unit-tests, bats, Test AW Workflows, AgentShield, holdout-guard, Test-Deletion Guard. CANCELLED entries (dev-lead dispatch/ci-relay, review trigger) are superseded agent-orchestration jobs cancelled by concurrency, not CI validators. mergeStateStatus BLOCKED reflects the pending org-leads review gate this approval satisfies.

Summary

Docs/spec reconciliation PR implementing issue #1409: adds the 'Agentic interaction model' section to AGENTS.md, adds 'Interaction contract' subsections to the dev-lead, pr-review-agent, and ci-failure-analyst docs, and reconciles the stale ci-failure-analyst gh-aw source (.github/workflows/ci-failure-analyst.md) to the deployed thin-caller reality (check_run:[completed], live comment, one per failing head SHA) without touching the byte-frozen .lock.yml. All CI checks are green and all five acceptance criteria are substantively met. The single blocker to auto-approval is one unresolved bug-severity review thread from Qodo that no agent has yet responded to.

Linked issue analysis

Closes #1409 ([Phase 5] Wire the standard into AGENTS.md and per-agent docs, and reconcile the ci-failure-analyst spec vs deployed divergence). AC1 met (AGENTS.md 'Agentic interaction model' section linking docs/agentic-interaction-model.md). AC2 met (Interaction contract subsections in docs/dev-lead/spec.md, docs/pr-review-agent/pr-review-agent.md, docs/aw/ci-failure-analyst.md, each linking the role contract and the standard). AC3/AC4 met (spec .md now declares check_run:[completed] and removes staged:true to match the deployed live-posting stub; the frozen .lock.yml is untouched — caller-stub-freeze check passed). AC5 met (no new schedule.cron or trigger introduced).

Findings

  1. [UNRESOLVED THREAD — blocking auto-approval] Qodo bug on .github/workflows/ci-failure-analyst.md: claims removing 'staged: true' makes the spec describe live comment posting while front-matter permissions remain read-only (missing 'issues: write'). Assessment: false positive on gh-aw semantics. In gh-aw, safe-outputs (add-comment) are executed by compiler-generated output jobs that receive their own write permissions; the agent job's front-matter permissions are intentionally read-only. Adding 'issues: write' to the front-matter (Qodo fix option 1) would grant the agent job write access — an anti-pattern — and restoring 'staged: true' (option 2) would contradict AC3 of [Phase 5] Wire the standard into AGENTS.md and per-agent docs, and reconcile the ci-failure-analyst spec vs deployed divergence #1409. gh-aw-compile CI passed, confirming the source is valid as written. Recommended resolution: reply to and resolve the thread explaining the above; do NOT change the permissions block or restore staged:true. The thread was posted after the last dev-lead fix-reviews pass, so it has not yet been addressed on-record — per policy, auto-approval is withheld while a bug-severity review thread is unresolved.
  2. Gemini thread on docs/dev-lead/spec.md: resolved and outdated (addressed by the fix-reviews commit at 032c43f).
  3. Secret scan: run_secret_scanning MCP tool not available in this environment; gitleaks CI check passed. No secrets, credentials, or auth material in the diff (markdown-only changes).
  4. No GitHub Actions security smells: the deployed runtime is unchanged; the trigger change lives only in the non-deployed gh-aw source, and the ring-0 .lock.yml remains byte-frozen (caller-stub-freeze green).

CI status

All required checks green at 032c43f: Lint, ShellCheck, actionlint, gh-aw-compile / Compile agentic workflows, caller-stub-freeze, template-drift, validate-interaction-contracts, validate-agent-profiles/personas, unit-tests, bats, CodeQL (actions + python), SonarCloud quality gate, Secret scan (gitleaks), agent-shield, Agent Security Scan, holdout-guard. A handful of CANCELLED entries (dev-lead/dispatch, review/review, ci-relay) are superseded concurrent runs of the automation itself, each followed by a SUCCESS or SKIPPED run — not failures of this PR's code.

Summary

Docs/spec-only PR implementing #1409: wires the agentic interaction model into AGENTS.md and per-agent docs, and reconciles the ci-failure-analyst gh-aw source to the deployed thin-caller reality (check_run:[completed], live posting) without touching the byte-frozen .lock.yml. All CI green, all acceptance criteria met, prior gemini finding resolved. Sole blocker: the bug-severity Qodo review thread on .github/workflows/ci-failure-analyst.md is still unresolved with no on-record reply — a gh-aw false positive that needs a reply-and-resolve, not a code change.

Linked issue analysis

Closes #1409. AC1 met: AGENTS.md gains the normative 'Agentic interaction model' section linking docs/agentic-interaction-model.md. AC2 met: 'Interaction contract' subsections added to docs/dev-lead/spec.md, docs/pr-review-agent/pr-review-agent.md, and docs/aw/ci-failure-analyst.md, each linking the role's machine-readable contract and the standard. AC3/AC4 met: the gh-aw source .github/workflows/ci-failure-analyst.md now declares check_run:[completed] and drops staged:true to match the deployed live-posting stub, with an explicit 'Deployed runtime' note; the frozen .lock.yml is untouched (caller-stub-freeze green), so deployed behavior is unchanged. AC5 met: no new schedule.cron or trigger introduced.

Findings

  1. [BLOCKING — unresolved review thread] Qodo bug-severity thread on .github/workflows/ci-failure-analyst.md (posted 06:04Z) remains unresolved with no reply. It claims removing 'staged: true' leaves the spec describing live comment posting while front-matter permissions lack 'issues: write'. Assessment: false positive on gh-aw semantics — safe-outputs.add-comment is executed by a compiler-generated output job with its own write-scoped token; a read-only agent-job permissions block is the correct gh-aw pattern (gh-aw-compile passed), and the deployed runtime is the frozen .lock.yml which already declares issues:write + pull-requests:write. Both prior review cycles reached this same conclusion. Required action: reply to and resolve the thread with this rationale; do NOT add issues:write to the front-matter or restore staged:true (the latter would violate AC3 of [Phase 5] Wire the standard into AGENTS.md and per-agent docs, and reconcile the ci-failure-analyst spec vs deployed divergence #1409). Per decision gates, auto-approval is withheld while a review thread is unresolved.
  2. Resolved: gemini-code-assist thread on docs/dev-lead/spec.md (Class 1/Class 2 mislabel) — fixed by commit 032c43f and resolved with an on-record reply.
  3. Secret scan: run_secret_scanning MCP tool not available in this environment; gitleaks CI passed and the diff is markdown-only (no secrets, credentials, or auth material).
  4. No GitHub Actions security smells: the ring-0 .lock.yml is byte-frozen and untouched; the trigger change lives only in the non-deployed gh-aw source.

CI status

All substantive checks green at 032c43f: Lint, ShellCheck, actionlint, gh-aw-compile / Compile agentic workflows, caller-stub-freeze, template-drift, validate-interaction-contracts, validate-agent-profiles/personas/persona-teams, unit-tests, bats, CodeQL (actions + python), SonarCloud quality gate (0 new issues), Secret scan (gitleaks), Agent Security Scan, AgentShield, holdout-guard, validate-workflow-schedules. CANCELLED entries (dev-lead dispatch/ci-relay, review/review) are superseded concurrency-cancelled orchestration runs, each followed by SUCCESS/SKIPPED — not CI failures. mergeStateStatus BLOCKED reflects the pending review gate.

Review — PR #1426 (#1409 docs wiring + ci-failure-analyst reconcile)

Clean, and it closes a gap that has been open since the start of this initiative. Verified rather than skimmed:

The ci-failure-analyst.md.lock.yml divergence is properly reconciled. This was the original defect: the .md declared workflow_run: [CI, Lint, Tests] with safe-outputs.add-comment: {max: 1, staged: true} (dry-run, capped) while the deployed .lock.yml triggers on check_run:[completed] and posts live. The fix changes the trigger to check_run:[completed], drops staged: true, and — better than a minimal patch — rewrites the instruction steps so they actually reference check_run fields (head_sha, details_url, check_run.name) instead of workflow_run ones. It also folds in the two guards the deployed reusable really has: the analyst's own check-run skip (loop prevention) and the non-fork filter with the commits-to-pulls fallback.

The added "Deployed runtime" note is the right call. Explaining why the .md exists at all (the gh-aw-compile orphaned-lock detector requires a sibling .md for every *.lock.yml) turns a confusing artefact into a documented one, and it correctly warns against editing the frozen block. .lock.yml is untouched — the caller-stub-freeze baseline is preserved.

Remaining ACs check out:

  • AGENTS.md gains an "Agentic interaction model" section pointing at the standard and naming the three trigger classes.
  • All three per-agent docs (docs/dev-lead/spec.md, docs/pr-review-agent/pr-review-agent.md, docs/aw/ci-failure-analyst.md) gain an "Interaction contract" subsection.
  • No dangling links — I resolved every contract path referenced in the diff against this branch; all six exist (interaction-contracts/{ci-failure-analyst,dev-lead,pr-review}.yml, personas/{dev-lead,pr-review}/interaction.yml, docs/agentic-interaction-model.md).

No findings. Ready from my side.

One forward-looking note, not a change request: this PR makes prose in five documents depend on the contract files and the standard's section anchors. #1406 will verify the §4 classification table against real on: blocks, but nothing verifies that these cross-document references still resolve — and #1421 already demonstrated the failure mode when a doc described a superseded rule. If a link/anchor check is ever cheap to add to the existing Lint job, this is the diff that argues for it.

Summary

Docs/spec-only PR (5 files, +111/−21) wiring the agentic-interaction standard into AGENTS.md and the three per-agent docs, and reconciling the ci-failure-analyst gh-aw source with its deployed byte-frozen lock stub (workflow_run → check_run, staged:true removed, own-check loop guard and non-fork filter added). The deployed .lock.yml is untouched (caller-stub-freeze green). Cycle-2 confirmation review at the same SHA the triage tier and repository owner already cleared; the owner's review explicitly states 'No findings. Ready from my side.'

Linked issue analysis

Closes #1409. Acceptance criteria substantively met: (1) AGENTS.md gains the normative 'Agentic interaction model' section naming the three trigger classes and linking docs/agentic-interaction-model.md; (2) docs/dev-lead/spec.md, docs/pr-review-agent/pr-review-agent.md, and docs/aw/ci-failure-analyst.md each gain an 'Interaction contract' subsection linking the machine-readable contracts (validate-interaction-contracts CI check green); (3) the ci-failure-analyst .md/.lock.yml divergence is reconciled — the source now declares check_run:[completed] with live posting and its instruction steps reference check_run fields; (4) the frozen .lock.yml is unmodified; (5) no new cron/schedule introduced. The repository owner independently verified all six referenced contract paths resolve on this branch.

Findings

  • Dismissed (false positive, unresolved qodo thread): qodo-code-review claims the staged:true removal leaves ci-failure-analyst.md unable to post comments because its front-matter permissions lack issues:write. In gh-aw, safe-outputs.add-comment is executed by a compiler-generated output job with its own write-scoped token — a read-only main-job permissions block is the correct pattern, and both gh-aw-compile and 'Compile agentic workflows' checks pass. The .md is retained source (kept for the orphaned-lock detector); the deployed runtime is the frozen .lock.yml, which I verified declares issues:write + pull-requests:write plus the own-check and per-SHA concurrency guards the spec now documents. The prior cascade audit, the prior single review, and the owner's subsequent review all reached the same conclusion. Non-blocking.
  • Resolved (prior MAJOR): dev-lead spec Class 1/Class 2 mislabel — fixed at this SHA (spec now pairs the Class 1 event path with the Class 2 self-heal backstop); gemini's thread is resolved.
  • INFO: run_secret_scanning MCP tool not available in this environment; gitleaks CI passed and the diff is documentation/spec-only.
  • Note (owner's, non-blocking): cross-document links/anchors introduced here are not yet CI-verified; owner flagged this as a possible future Lint addition, not a change request.

CI status

All substantive checks green at 032c43f: Lint, shellcheck/ShellCheck, actionlint, caller-stub-freeze, template-drift, validate-interaction-contracts, validate-personas, gh-aw-compile, Compile agentic workflows, unit-tests, bats, CodeQL (actions + python), Agent Security Scan, AgentShield, holdout-guard, Secret scan (gitleaks), SonarCloud quality gate. CANCELLED/SKIPPED entries are superseded agent-orchestration dispatch/relay jobs, not CI validators. mergeStateStatus BLOCKED reflects the review gate this approval addresses.

@donpetry-bot review

Clean: zero unresolved threads (Qodo resolved its own), zero genuine check failures, mergeable. Your approval at 06:44:52Z was dismissed by the subsequent fix commits — the approve→push→dismiss cycle tracked on #1422 — so this needs a fresh one.

Note I have posted a correction retracting my endorsement of Qodo's permissions finding; no change is requested on that point.

Human-initiated (don-petry), not a self-mention.

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.

Reviewed commit: 2256ae0e407c0bfaa7924dbfed2cf1ee49715dde
Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)

Summary

Docs/spec alignment PR (5 files, +113/−22) implementing issue #1409 Phase 5. It (a) adds a normative "Agentic interaction model" section to AGENTS.md linking the repo-local standard, (b) adds "Interaction contract" subsections to the dev-lead, pr-review-agent, and ci-failure-analyst docs, and (c) reconciles the stale ci-failure-analyst gh-aw source spec to the deployed thin-caller reality (check_run:[completed] trigger, live comment posture, one comment per failing head SHA, own-check + fork-PR loop guards). The byte-frozen .lock.yml stub is untouched (caller-stub-freeze passed), so no deployed runtime behavior changes. Triage cleared this as low-risk; confirmation review agrees with the assessment, classifying MEDIUM only because a workflow spec file and the normative AGENTS.md standard are touched.

Linked issue analysis

Closes #1409. All five acceptance criteria are substantively met: (1) AGENTS.md gains the "Agentic interaction model" section linking docs/agentic-interaction-model.md; (2) all three agent docs gain "Interaction contract" subsections linking their contracts and the standard; (3) the ci-failure-analyst.md spec now matches the deployed check_run:[completed] behavior, with an explicit divergence note explaining the safe-outputs vs. live-permission difference; (4) the frozen ci-failure-analyst.lock.yml is not edited; (5) no new schedule.cron or trigger is introduced. All cross-referenced files (standard, runbook, three interaction contracts, two persona manifests) verified present at the head SHA.

Findings

No blocking findings. Secret scan: the run_secret_scanning MCP tool is unavailable in this environment; the gitleaks CI check passed (SUCCESS), and manual diff inspection found no credentials or tokens — all changes are markdown prose and YAML frontmatter trigger/permission declarations. The spec's removal of staged:true and pull-requests:read only brings the non-deployed gh-aw source in line with the deployed stub, per the issue's explicit reconciliation mandate. Prior advisory-bot threads (gemini, qodo) are all resolved; CodeRabbit approved at the current head. Owner explicitly requested this re-review after their prior approval was dismissed by fix commits.

CI status

All required checks green at 2256ae0, including gh-aw-compile, caller-stub-freeze, validate-interaction-contracts, actionlint, shellcheck, CodeQL, Agent Security Scan, gitleaks, SonarCloud, and unit/bats tests. Two CANCELLED guard entries are superseded duplicates of the same check, which completed SUCCESS on a later run. Remaining entries are expected SKIPPEDs (ecosystem-specific dependency audits, dependabot-automerge, dev-lead ci-relay).
