Colin McDonnell b49c1d9a57 postRun: forbid set_output in reflection prompt (gemini pro regression)
reflection turn is a meta-turn for editing the learnings file; the
task's `result` output was already finalized on the previous turn.
gemini pro re-triggers on the standing "call set_output when done"
system instruction during reflection and clobbers the value with the
literal word "done" (see ci run 26529624199, smoke test on
providers-live google/gemini-pro). add an explicit prohibition to the
reflection prompt; the snapshot/restore in runPostRunRetryLoop
remains as defense in depth.

David Blass dd26d35137 learnings: audit fixes — preamble in TOC, server-side line-boundary truncation, empty-repo intro (#743)
* learnings: surface preamble in TOC, mirror line-boundary truncation server-side, fix empty-repo intro copy

three audit fixes on top of the recent learnings overhaul (#717):

- `parseLearningsHeadings` now prepends a synthetic `(preamble)` entry
  when a body has non-whitespace content before the first heading. the
  prompt instructs the agent NOT to slurp the whole file when a TOC is
  present, so without this any preamble lines were silently invisible
  (realistic transitional case: an agent partially restructures a
  legacy free-text body and leaves bullets above the first `## `).

- server-side PATCH route now applies the same line-boundary-aware
  truncation as the action (defense in depth via a shared
  `truncateAtLineBoundary` + `MAX_LEARNINGS_LENGTH` exported from
  `action/internal`). the raw `.slice` it used before could leave a
  mid-heading tail on any caller that bypassed the client-side
  truncate, breaking the next-seed TOC parse. removes the duplicated
  cap constant.

- `buildLearningsSection` intro no longer asserts "accumulated by
  previous agent runs" — false for fresh repos with zero history. new
  copy is tense-neutral and works for empty + populated bodies. also
  nudges the agent to re-read after mid-run edits (the inlined TOC
  ranges are a run-start snapshot).

* learnings prompt: tighten to single evergreen test, allow tool-quirk bullets when they prevent repeat waste

The blanket "no pullfrog tool quirks" ban was wrong — if the agent burned
calls discovering a quirk this run, recording the workaround prevents the
next run from repeating the waste. Reframe around one litmus ("would a
future run do its work better because this bullet exists?") and trust it
to subsume the scattered don'ts. Drop the 3+ months timeframe (arbitrary)
and the four-example pullfrog/PR/date/play-by-play list (the rule
underneath is "don't anchor facts to repo state that will move"). Cuts
~10 lines from a prompt the model was already mostly ignoring; the
remaining anchor list is narrower and more enforceable.

* audit-learnings-r2: align wiki + tighten re-read nudge

- wiki/prompt.md described the post-run reflection prompt as "bans pullfrog-tool quirks (those belong in tool descriptions, not per-repo learnings), bans PR/review/commit/date references" — that's stale after the prompt rewrite. update to: single-litmus framing, expanded anchor list (now includes version pins + line numbers), and explicit allowance for tool-quirk workarounds when discovery burned calls.
- buildLearningsSection re-read nudge said "re-read after editing" which can be read as "re-read the section you edited". in fact any edit shifts the line numbers of every later section in the TOC, not just the edited one. tighten to make that explicit. mirror the new wording in the wiki example block. update the test substring assertion accordingly.

* postRun: refresh JSDoc to match the reflection prompt rewrite

`buildLearningsReflectionPrompt`'s JSDoc still listed "PR-/review-/commit-/date-anchored facts" and "rediscovery of pullfrog-tool quirks" as failure modes the prompt pushes back on. after b586b4f8 the prompt no longer bans tool-quirk bullets (it explicitly allows them when the agent burned calls discovering the quirk), and the anchor list expanded to cover branch refs, version pins, and line numbers too. update the JSDoc so it describes the prompt that actually exists, and call out the cross-repo drift tradeoff that comes with allowing tool-quirk bullets.

* fix(mcp/issueEvents): narrow event.event before Set.has lookup

octokit's listEventsForTimeline union includes timeline-event members where `event` is `event?: string`. `("event" in event)` does not narrow that property to non-undefined, so `relevantEventTypes.has(event.event)` was passing `string | undefined` to a `Set<string>.has`. typescript only flagged this once `cf-worker-indexing` started seeing the file via the type graph that now reaches mcp through the new `truncateAtLineBoundary` re-export in `action/internal/index.ts`. fix the latent bug at the source: require `typeof event.event === "string"` before the Set lookup.

* learnings: split truncation helpers into MCP-free module

re-exporting `truncateAtLineBoundary` + `MAX_LEARNINGS_LENGTH` from `action/utils/learnings.ts` through `action/internal/index.ts` accidentally pulled the entire MCP type graph into the SDK barrel: `learnings.ts` imports `ToolContext` from `mcp/server.ts`, which transitively wires every tool module under `action/mcp/` into anything that imports from `pullfrog/internal`. for `cf-worker-indexing/tsconfig.json` (`customConditions: ["@pullfrog/source"]`) and the root `tsc` (which compiles the proprietary app routes that import from `pullfrog/internal`), this expanded the type-checked surface and surfaced two latent issues in unrelated files (`mcp/issueEvents.ts`, `utils/subprocess.ts`). a 6-line pure string helper has no business dragging mcp/server.ts into anyone else's type graph.

move both symbols to `action/utils/learningsTruncate.ts`. `learnings.ts` re-exports them so existing callers keep working; `internal/index.ts` re-exports from the truncate-only module so the SDK barrel stays MCP-free.

Colin McDonnell ddbc610569 review prompt: friendly green callouts + per-section severity emojis (#756)
* review prompt: friendly green callouts + per-section severity emojis

- Replace `[!NOTE]` informational tier and the no-callout minor-suggestions
  tier with friendly green blockquotes (`> ` / `> 💡`). The two loud
  tiers (`[!CAUTION]` / `[!IMPORTANT]`) keep their GitHub admonitions.
- Add a per-`##`-section severity-emoji rule (🚨/⚠️/💡/ℹ️) for
  cross-cutting review concerns that don't anchor to a line and would
  otherwise be buried in summary content.
- Drop the `<br/>` between summary sections — heading + blank line
  carries enough visual spacing.
- Skip the post-run learnings-reflection turn for `IncrementalReview`.
  It's the lowest-novelty mode (delta review against existing PR with
  prior summary already loaded) and almost never produces durable
  learnings — reflection there costs ~$0.50-0.80/run for nothing.
- Surface real error info on `agent-browser` skill install failures
  (exit code + stdout + stderr + spawn error). The skills CLI uses a
  TUI that prints errors to stdout, so the prior stderr-only logging
  silently swallowed every failure.

* review prompt: per-bullet severity emoji + bullets-only sections

Section headings are plain again (no leading severity emoji). Severity
moves to individual bullets so a section that mixes a 🚨 and a 💡 isn't
mislabeled by either. Section bodies are now bullets only — paragraph
prose under a heading is harder to scan and tends to bury the
actionable point.

Bullets can carry indented continuation content (sub-bullets, code
fences, blockquotes) by indenting two spaces under the parent.

* review prompt: cap section length + identifier discipline

Bound each summary section to at most 4 bullets at most 2 lines each,
and explicitly call out identifier-heavy prose as an anti-pattern. The
reader is often a manager or non-author; identifier-dense paragraphs
('foo calls bar.fetch which dispatches to baz via qux...') are
unreadable for them. Default to plain-language behavior descriptions,
name an identifier only when it's the subject of an actionable concern
or a public surface a reader would recognize, target 2-3 backtick
tokens per bullet.

Move the deep-explanation pattern from open blockquote to a default-
collapsed details/summary so depth doesn't dominate the visible body.

* review prompt: hard cap on bullet identifier density + worked rewrite example

Soft 'aim for 2-3 tokens' guidance was ignored — first big-PR e2e
showed 12 of 19 actionable bullets exceeded the target (avg 4.8 tokens,
several over 8). Promote to a hard cap of 3 backticked tokens per
bullet and pair with a concrete bad/good rewrite the agent can pattern-
match against. Also tighten the per-bullet length cap from ~240 to
~200 chars and explicitly call it 'hard cap, not target'.

* review prompt: tighten bullet length cap to 160 chars, dramatize the worked example

V2 e2e test: token discipline improved (4.8 -> 3.3 avg, 12/19 -> 6/14
violations) but length got worse (235 -> 286 chars, 13/14 over the 200
cap). The agent compensated for fewer identifiers with more prose.

Two changes: (1) tighten the cap from ~200 chars to 160 chars / 1
visual line and call out wrap-to-multiple-lines as the failure mode;
(2) rewrite the worked example so the good version is genuinely half
the length of the bad one, not just lower token count. The example was
the thing the agent pattern-matches against; making the good version
~130 chars vs the bad version's ~290 chars sets the right shape.

* review prompt: drop fixed bullet-count cap, keep length + identifier caps

Per user feedback — section length should be governed by content, not
an arbitrary count. Soft guidance ('past ~6, ask whether to split') is
fine; the hard '≤ 4 bullets per section' rule was the wrong shape.
Length cap (160c) and identifier cap (3 backtick tokens) stay; those
target the actual scanability problem.

* review prompt: drop ## subsystem sections, flat 'Issues found' list

Per-section structure forced every concern into a subsystem frame and
made the body read like a series of mini-essays. Replace with two
parts: (1) TL;DR + Key changes as the dispassionate overview, (2) flat
'### Issues found' list ordered by severity, intermixed across files
and subsystems. Per-bullet rules (≤160c, ≤3 backtick tokens, severity
emoji prefix, optional indented continuation) carry over unchanged.

* review prompt: full v6 structure — preamble + cross-cutting H3s + nitpicks

Replaces the flat 'Issues found' bullet list with the iterated v6 shape:

- Preamble is a bolded inline 'Reviewed changes' lead-in plus bullets
  plus a collapsed 'Review metadata' block (mode/files/commits/refs/
  reviewed commits list/prior pullfrog review/staleness note).
- Each cross-cutting concern gets a '### emoji Title' section. The
  visible problem write-up is human-friendly and DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM
  ONLY — no asks, no suggested fixes, no 'the right thing to do is'.
- Each section carries a collapsed 'Technical details' block wrapped
  in a 4-backtick markdown fence (so it can hold its own 3-tick code
  fences cleanly, agent-readable, one-click copyable). Standard four
  inner sections: Affected sites, Required outcome, optional Suggested
  approach, optional Open questions for the human.
- '### ℹ️ Nitpicks' at the bottom for body-only nits that don't
  inline; simple bullets, no technical-details collapse.
- Anti-paragraph-wall rule: never two successive plain paragraphs in
  visible '### ' sections; alternate prose with structure.
- Inline-vs-body discipline: anything that anchors to a single line
  goes inline, body is for cross-cutting only.
- Drops legacy '### Key changes', '### Issues found', '<b>TL;DR</b>',
  and the '<sub>Summary</sub>' line.

* model effort: bump Gemini + GPT to high effort; drop Gemini Pro→Flash subagent

E2E review eval against a substantive billing-module diff surfaced two
related quality gaps:

1. Gemini Pro at thinkingLevel=medium (#663's CI-timeout fix) reviewed
   the diff only, took the 0-lens path, and missed a catastrophic
   camelCase/snake_case service-vs-schema mismatch. Bumping back to
   high — review work is exactly the wrong shape for the medium/high
   tradeoff #663 was optimizing for; the per-turn TTFT cost is worth
   paying when reasoning IS the value.

2. GPT had no reasoningEffort override, defaulting to upstream medium.
   Same diff, similar shallow result vs Claude. Adding reasoningEffort:
   high for the curated direct-OpenAI slugs, mirroring the Gemini
   pattern (Anthropic separately uses --effort high via the Claude
   Code CLI flag in claude.ts).

3. Gemini Pro's subagentModel was 'gemini-flash' — but Google has no
   in-between tier between Pro and Flash, and Flash is a meaningful
   capability cliff for review work. Dropping the override so subagents
   inherit Pro. Cost stays reasonable since Gemini Pro is already the
   cheapest of the flagship trio.

Other providers unchanged: Anthropic opus→sonnet and OpenAI gpt→gpt-5.4
remain (each is a one-tier drop to a still-capable sibling).

* model effort: revert orchestrator override, set explicit high on reviewfrog subagent

Reshape the effort design after eval:

- Drop the explicit Gemini and GPT model-level overrides — orchestrators
  now run at upstream defaults (Gemini high, GPT-5.x medium). Gemini's
  upstream IS high, so this is a no-op there; GPT goes back to upstream
  medium for orchestrator-level routing work.
- Add explicit 'high' on the reviewfrog subagent via agent.options.
  OpenCode merge order is base ← model.options ← agent.options ← variant
  per session/llm.ts:141, so the subagent always runs at high regardless
  of which orchestrator dispatched it. Both thinkingConfig.thinkingLevel
  (Gemini) and reasoningEffort (GPT) keys included; irrelevant keys are
  ignored per provider.
- Bump providers-live timeouts (12min job / 10min step, from 8/6) to
  budget for Gemini's TTFT variance at high effort. #663's 4min timeout
  was sized for the medium-effort override that's now removed.

* model effort: restore Gemini explicit high override (no-override path breaks)

Bare 'rely on upstream default' for Gemini failed in e2e — removing the
model-level provider config produced 'Function call is missing a
thought_signature' API errors on every gemini-pro run. Even though
upstream opencode's options() returns the same thinkingLevel: high we
were explicitly setting, opencode's resolution path differs subtly
between the two cases. v2's explicit override worked; v3's removal
broke. Reproducible across two consecutive runs.

Restoring the explicit Gemini override (back to v2 design). GPT
orchestrator stays UN-overridden — at upstream default (medium) — since
removing that override didn't trigger the same failure pattern and the
reviewfrog subagent agent.options high override compensates for the
extra depth GPT loses at medium.

* diag: remove reviewfrog agent.options to isolate Gemini thought_signature failure

v3 (no Gemini orch override) failed with thought_signature error. v4
(restored Gemini orch override at v2-equivalent) ALSO failed, even
though the orchestrator config matches v2. The variable between v2
(working) and v4 (failing) is the new reviewfrog agent.options block.
Removing it to confirm — if Gemini works again, the agent.options
addition is the culprit and we need a different shape for it.

* opencode-ai: bump 1.1.56 → 1.15.0 + clean up gemini effort config

opencode-ai@1.1.56 was published 2026-02-10 (3 months old). The Google
API tightened thought_signature validation 24-48h ago (per
https://discuss.ai.google.dev/t/gemini-thought-signature-patch/122555),
and the bug class hits opencode's session→prompt serializer for MCP
tool-call parts (anomalyco/opencode#4832, #8321). Latest stable bumps
us through ~3 months of fixes; needed for Gemini-direct to stop dying
with 'thought_signature is missing' on every multi-turn run.

Companion cleanup: the gemini provider override in opencode.ts had
30-line block of comments, four unused constants, and a 6-line
Object.fromEntries map for two entries. Replaced with one source-of-
truth helper that loops modelAliases, filters provider==='google',
strips the 'google/' prefix, and returns the override map. Adding any
future Google alias to the registry now flows through automatically.

Test added: action/agents/opencode.test.ts asserts the helper covers
every direct-Google alias, strips the prefix correctly, and pins every
entry to thinkingLevel high — catches drift in helper logic without
hardcoding the API ids the test would have to update in lockstep
with the registry.

* fix(workflow): tolerate listJobsForWorkflowRun 404 in resolveRun

PR #750 (docker testing rewrite) replaced the per-call env allowlist
with full process.env passthrough into the test container. That now
leaks GITHUB_RUN_ID + GITHUB_JOB into runs whose MCP token is scoped
to a DIFFERENT repo (e.g. providers-live smoke runs the action against
pullfrog/test-repo with pullfrog/app's run ID). The unconditional
listJobsForWorkflowRun call 404s and crashes the entire run, breaking
every providers-live job on main since #750 landed.

jobId is purely cosmetic (deep-links 'View workflow run' footer to a
specific job vs the run-level URL). Wrapping the API call in try/catch
so a 404 logs a debug message and falls through to undefined jobId is
the right fix — the failure mode is exactly what graceful degradation
is for, and the alternative (filter the env vars at the docker boundary)
re-introduces the kind of allowlist #750 was getting rid of.

* opencode-ai: pin 1.14.51 instead of 1.15.0 (effect refactor breaks JSON output)

opencode 1.15.0 (May 15) ships a major architectural refactor onto
@effect — the run command boots an in-process server via
@opencode-ai/sdk/v2 and the JSON event emission path through that SDK
client doesn't surface on stdout the way our parser expects (CI run
on 1.15.0 produced 0 stdout events but the agent still completed).
Local invocation also hangs at the in-process server boot.

The Gemini thought_signature fixes (the original reason for bumping)
landed earlier in the 1.14.x line, so 1.14.51 (May 14) gets us the
upstream fix without the Effect rewrite. Defer the 1.15.x bump until
we're ready to rewire our parser/spawn around the new SDK.

* opencode-ai: revert to 1.1.56; gha: filter outer-CI workflow-run vars at the docker boundary

Two related changes for the docker testing harness's ergonomics:

1. Revert opencode-ai 1.14.51 → 1.1.56. The 1.14+ line ships an Effect
   refactor (the SDK-v2 client + in-process server architecture) that
   our --format json parser doesn't speak — even the 1.14.51 release,
   pre-dating the 1.15.0 Effect rename, produced 0 stdout events on
   our skill-invoke smoke. There's no clean pre-Effect version that
   ships the Gemini thought_signature fix; that fix needs a separate
   workstream once we're ready to rewire the parser onto SDK v2.

2. Filter outer-CI workflow-run identifiers (GITHUB_RUN_ID, GITHUB_JOB,
   GITHUB_WORKFLOW, GITHUB_ACTION, GITHUB_REF, GITHUB_SHA, etc.) from
   gha.ts's --env-file passthrough. PR #750's full-process.env design
   leaks pullfrog/app's CI run identifiers into runs that act against
   a different repo (e.g. pullfrog/test-repo); any code path inside
   the action that uses them as keys (most notably resolveRun's
   listJobsForWorkflowRun lookup) 404s. Filtering them here means
   the action sees undefined and skips the lookup, complementing the
   defensive try/catch in resolveRun (commit addc76d4). GITHUB_REPOSITORY
   and GITHUB_TOKEN are NOT filtered — those are genuinely needed.

Companion to addc76d4 (resolveRun 404 tolerance). The two together
make this class of bug 'either fix would have caught it' rather than
'silently breaks the entire test matrix'.

* fix(deps): sync pnpm-lock.yaml with opencode-ai 1.1.56 manifest revert

Forgot to refresh the lockfile after reverting the manifest in 02c6d8c1.
CI's frozen-lockfile install was failing with 'lockfile: 1.14.51,
manifest: 1.1.56' mismatch.

Colin McDonnell d857e06731 postrun: tighten unsubmitted-review gate to require create_pull_request_review for Review mode (#724)
The gate at `getUnsubmittedReview` accepted `toolState.finalSummaryWritten`
as a valid Review exit, contradicting the post-failure error message which
already says Review's only valid exit is `create_pull_request_review`.
This let any caller that flipped `finalSummaryWritten` — including a
`task`-dispatched `reviewfrog` subagent calling `pullfrog_report_progress`
in violation of its prose-only read-only contract — silence the gate even
when the orchestrator never submitted a review.

Split per-mode: Review requires `toolState.review`, IncrementalReview keeps
the existing `||` (its post-failure message explicitly accepts
`report_progress` as a "no review warranted" exit). Test split mirrors the
new semantics.

David Blass 5518890b18 learnings: TOC + section taxonomy + 100k cap, hygiene rules, tool-quirk descriptions (#717)
* audit learnings: reshape reflection prompt + bake tool quirks into descriptions (#619)

Cross-repo audit of the 48 repos with non-null learnings turned up two
recurring failure modes:

1. ~25-30% of bullets across the most-active repos are pullfrog-tool
   quirks ("shell timeout is in milliseconds", "git args must be a JSON
   array", "create_pull_request_review drops out-of-hunk comments",
   "push_branch may report timeout when push succeeded", "checkout_pr
   shallow.lock retries", "commit_id needs full 40-char SHA"). These are
   universal across repos and should live in tool descriptions, not be
   rediscovered and stored 48 times. Tool descriptions now surface them.

2. Bullets are routinely 200-1000 chars (paragraph-length), and 12 of 48
   repos are at the 10k cap. The reflection prompt now: caps bullets at
   ~240 chars (one specific fact), bans PR/review/commit/date-anchored
   facts that decay within weeks, bans tool-quirk learnings, and tells
   the agent that cap pressure means compress+prune existing bullets,
   not skip new findings.

* learnings: add server-generated TOC, fixed section taxonomy, raise cap to 100k (#707)

Cap goes 10k → 100k. Reads stay bounded because the seeded file now
opens with a server-generated table of contents listing every `## `
section's line range — agents read the TOC, then `read_file offset/limit`
just the sections relevant to the current task instead of slurping the
whole file.

## Section taxonomy (fixed)

`## Build & test`, `## CI`, `## Conventions`, `## Architecture`,
`## Gotchas`. Free-form `### ` sub-headings inside a section are fine.
Pre-taxonomy free-text rows get wrapped in a `## Legacy` carve-out on
first seed so they remain visible while the agent gradually re-curates
them during reflection turns.

## Storage shape unchanged

`Repo.learnings` still holds raw markdown (no schema migration). The TOC
is a pure read-side affordance: prepended at seed time, stripped from
the agent-edited file before persist. Markers
`<!-- pullfrog-learnings-toc:* -->` delimit the strip region. Agent
edits inside the markers are discarded.

## Round-trip semantics

`seedLearningsFile` now returns `{ path, canonicalSeed }` where
`canonicalSeed` is the post-TOC body — same shape `readLearningsFile`
returns at end-of-run, so `persistLearnings` byte-compares them
directly to skip the no-op PATCH. Empty-repo first runs end up with the
section scaffold both as seed and as read-back, so untouched runs still
short-circuit cleanly.

## Reflection prompt

Adds explicit section-placement guidance (place each new bullet under
the most relevant `## `; do NOT add new top-level headings; do NOT
edit anything between the TOC markers). Carries forward the bullet
hygiene from the previous commit: ≤240 chars per bullet, no
pullfrog-tool quirks (those belong in tool descriptions), no
PR/review/commit/date references. The "near cap" framing is replaced
with "compress and prune within a section when it grows noisy" since
the cap pressure that drove cramming is gone.

* anneal round 1: line-anchored taxonomy detect, partial-merge, line-boundary truncation, scaffold-empty UI

Multi-lens review of the TOC + taxonomy diff surfaced a cluster of
correctness and operational bugs. Fixes:

- `hasAnyTaxonomyHeading` used `String.includes("## X")` which
  false-positives on `### X` (the `## ` substring sits inside `### `),
  prose containing `## CI`, fenced code documenting markdown, etc.
  Replaced with a line-anchored predicate that reuses `parseHeadings`
  so detection and TOC construction stay consistent.

- The "any heading present → pass through verbatim" rule meant a body
  with one taxonomy heading would seed without the other four. Worse,
  requiring all five would flip a body back into Legacy when the agent
  legitimately pruned a section to empty. New `partial` kind: keep
  existing content in place, append missing sections in canonical order
  so the agent always has the full scaffold without losing pruning
  intent.

- `stripLearningsToc` collapsed `\n{3,}` globally; `canonicalSeed`
  doesn't, so an untouched body with intentional triple-newline spacing
  would compare unequal and burn a spurious LearningsRevision row each
  run. Drop the global collapse — only the leading newlines that the
  strip itself introduces are normalized.

- 100k truncation via `slice(0, 100_000)` could cut mid-line, breaking
  `parseHeadings` (whole-line `^## `) on the next seed and flipping a
  cut body back into Legacy. New `truncateAtLineBoundary` cuts at the
  last newline before the cap.

- `LearningsSection.tsx` rendered a scaffold-only body as "has
  learnings" instead of the empty placeholder. Added a
  `hasOnlyEmptyScaffold` guard so the console behaves the same as
  pre-PR for the empty case.

- Seed log line distinguishes `kind=structured/partial/legacy-wrapped/
  empty` instead of `existing=yes/no`, so operators can spot legacy
  migration activity in logs.

- New tests cover: substring false-positive (`### Build & test`,
  in-prose mentions), partial-taxonomy merge (no Legacy wrap),
  full-taxonomy structured pass-through, last-newline truncation,
  triple-newline preservation.

Deferred (documented in PR body): deploy-ordering footgun (action
before API), rollback for rows >10k, Gemini sanitizer dropping
`description` on `anyOf` branches, reflection-on-failed-runs.

* anneal r2: hard-truncate fallback when line boundary discards >4k

Round-2 review caught a regression in `truncateAtLineBoundary`: when the
only newline within the first 100k chars sits near the start (e.g. one
heading + 100k+ char single line — pathological pasted log dumps), the
line-boundary cut discards almost all of the body. losing one partial
line is preferable to losing kilobytes; threshold the fallback at 4k.

* move TOC out of file: prompt-side rendering, server-parsed headings

drops the in-file TOC + fixed taxonomy in favor of:
- file on disk = verbatim Repo.learnings (no markers, no scaffold)
- server parses headings (mdast-util-from-markdown) at run-context time
  and returns them as RepoSettings.learningsHeadings
- action renders heading TOC into the LEARNINGS prompt section as
  parenthesized line ranges like `Build & test (L1-L42)` with hierarchy
  via 2-space indent off the shallowest depth
- reflection prompt teaches agent-curated structure with a soft 300-line
  per-section cap and explicit guidance to restructure flat legacy lists

cuts 8 helpers (ensureSections, stripLearningsToc, assembleFile,
buildTocBlock, parseHeadings, buildSectionScaffold, hasAnyTaxonomyHeading,
LEARNINGS_SECTIONS) and the canonicalSeed round-trip dance.

action seedLearningsFile is now { path } only; main.ts byte-compares the
trimmed read-back against (current ?? "").trim() to gate the persist
PATCH. truncateAtLineBoundary kept for safety.

new tests:
- test/learningsToc.test.ts (11 parser cases incl. fenced-code, blockquote,
  arbitrary h1-h6 nesting, startLine-points-at-heading invariant)
- action/utils/learningsTocRender.test.ts (7 renderer cases)

Colin McDonnell a4a5010441 gemini-3: default thinkingLevel to medium + restrict eager prep to frozen install (#663)
* gemini-3: default thinkingLevel to medium + don't `npm ci` without a lockfile

upstream opencode hardcodes `thinkingLevel: "high"` for every gemini-3 model on
the direct google SDK (see `packages/opencode/src/provider/transform.ts`
`options()`). that added 30-60s of pre-tool-call TTFT and 5-46s of post-tool
jabber per turn, which is overkill for the tool-routing decisions that dominate
agentic loops — and the variance caused the `providers-live (google/gemini-pro)`
smoke job to time out at 4 minutes (see job 75405504847 on run 25684766415).

three changes:

- inject `provider.google.models.<api-id>.options.thinkingConfig.thinkingLevel = "medium"`
  for the two curated gemini-3 slugs in `buildSecurityConfig`. deep-merges over
  the upstream default; explicit `--variant high` / user opencode config still
  wins. flash stays at medium too — low-effort flash is visibly worse and the
  latency win isn't meaningful (flash is already fast).
- bump the `providers-live` harness step from 4 → 6 minutes. the job-level
  8-minute cap stays as the upper bound, but gemini's intrinsic TTFT variance
  was eating most of the 4-minute slack on its own.
- in `installNodeDependencies`, pick `frozen` only when a lockfile was actually
  detected. previously a package.json-only repo (like the smoke fixture's
  `pullfrog/test-repo`) always triggered `npm ci` and emitted a noisy
  `EUSAGE` error before falling through.

* prep: skip eager install when neither lockfile nor `packageManager` field present

the previous commit changed the no-lockfile path from `npm ci` (always errored
`EUSAGE`, never wrote any artifact) to a successful `npm install`, which had
an unintended side effect: it generated `package-lock.json` in the working
tree, tripping the post-run dirty-tree gate. the agent then committed the
lockfile and opened a real PR — and in the openai/gpt smoke run on PR #663,
the agent overwrote the `SMOKE TEST PASSED` output with the PR URL, failing
the smoke validator.

a repo with `package.json` but no lockfile and no `packageManager` field has
not committed dependency state. eagerly installing produces state the repo
doesn't track, which is the dirty-tree problem above. skip the eager install
entirely in that case; the agent can opt in via `await_dependency_installation`
when it actually needs deps. repos with a lockfile or a `packageManager` field
keep the existing frozen-install behavior unchanged.

* post-run: suppress dirty-tree gate in non-committing modes (Review / IncrementalReview / Plan)

the dirty-tree post-run gate currently fires for every mode and tells the agent
to commit and push whatever is in the working tree. that's wrong for modes
that complete by submitting a review (`Review` / `IncrementalReview`) or
posting a Plan comment (`Plan`) — those modes never touch files as part of
their contract, so any tree dirt at end-of-run is incidental tool noise on an
ephemeral worktree. nudging the agent to commit it can produce a spurious PR,
as seen in the openai/gpt smoke run on PR #663 where a stray
`package-lock.json` from `npm install` led the agent to open
pullfrog/test-repo#32 and overwrite the smoke output.

introduce `NON_COMMITTING_MODES` in `action/modes.ts` and consult it in
`collectPostRunIssues`. when the selected mode is read-only, log the
suppression for visibility but skip populating `issues.dirtyTree`. modes that
legitimately commit (`Build`, `AddressReviews`, `Fix`, `ResolveConflicts`,
`Task`) keep the existing nudge.

* prep: restore eager frozen-install, drop non-frozen fallback

eager dependency prep is non-mutating by contract — it runs before the agent
starts and any artifact it leaves in the tree (e.g. a generated
`package-lock.json`) trips the dirty-tree post-run gate and can lead the agent
to open a spurious PR (seen on the openai/gpt smoke run earlier in this PR).

revert the previous skip-when-no-lockfile branch: that was the wrong layer to
enforce the invariant. instead, run `frozen` (`npm ci` / `pnpm install
--frozen-lockfile` / etc.) unconditionally and drop the `|| install` fallback
that could silently mutate the tree when `frozen` is missing. frozen commands
fail cleanly without writing artifacts when there's no lockfile, which is
exactly the safety contract we want. repos that need a real install must opt
in explicitly via a `setup` lifecycle hook.

* review nits: single getGitStatus call, tighten gemini-3 override scope comment

addresses two inline nits from the PR review:

- `collectPostRunIssues` was calling `getGitStatus()` (spawns `git status
  --porcelain`) in both branches of the mode check. lift the call above the
  conditional and branch on the result; same behavior, one git invocation.
- the JSDoc on `GEMINI_3_DIRECT_API_IDS` said the override applies "across
  the board," but the constant only covers the two curated slugs in
  `action/models.ts`. tighten the wording to call out that other gemini-3
  ids in models.dev keep the upstream "high" default.

skipped the bot's yarn-1 concern after reading yarn 1's `install.js`:
`bailout()` (lines 461-465) throws `frozenLockfileError` when
`frozenLockfile && (!lockfileClean || missingPatterns.length > 0)`, which
fires before `linker.init()` writes node_modules or runs lifecycle scripts.
the existing comment's claim that frozen commands fail without artifacts
holds for yarn 1 too.

Colin McDonnell cf94773bf0 modes: make task-list authoring the explicit first step in every mode checklist (#665)
* modes: make task-list authoring the explicit first step in every mode checklist

The system prompt already instructs the agent to author an internal task list
at the start of every run (action/utils/instructions.ts:291), but the rule
lives several hundred tokens above the agent's first decision point and
references the mode's checklist before the agent has it. Compliance is
roughly coin-flip across opus runs — PR #610 dead-air for 9m20s was the
extreme case; my own #664 e2e runs split 1-for-1 on `todowrite` compliance.

Putting the directive *inside* the checklist that `select_mode` returns
co-locates instruction with referent at the moment the agent decides what to
do next. Same vocabulary as the existing rule (`task list`, agent-agnostic;
the harness already maps to `todowrite`/`TodoWrite` per-agent in
agents/opencode.ts and agents/claude.ts). The directive is deliberately
non-prescriptive about list contents — the agent authors items based on the
work it's about to do, not from a hand-shaped template.

Touches all 8 built-in modes and the PlanEdit override:

- Build / AddressReviews / Review / IncrementalReview / Plan / Fix /
  ResolveConflicts / Task: inserts `1. **task list**: create your task list
  for this run as your first action.` and renumbers existing steps.
- action/mcp/selectMode.ts: same insertion in the PlanEdit override checklist.
- All internal step cross-references shifted +1 (`step 5` → `step 6`,
  `skip steps 3–4` → `skip steps 4–5`, etc.) across Review,
  IncrementalReview, and ResolveConflicts modes. One code-comment reference
  in IncrementalReview's preamble updated to match.

Complements #664 (live progress streaming): streaming guarantees the user
sees *something* regardless of compliance; this PR raises the ceiling on
what they see when the agent does comply (clean numbered checklist tracking
through the run instead of just the latest assistant message).

488 action tests pass; typecheck, lint, format all clean.

Colin McDonnell 8e36f76cfa postrun: thread AgentRunContext through the retry loop instead of repackaging (#652)
* postrun: thread AgentRunContext through the retry loop instead of repackaging

drop the per-gate plumbing in `runPostRunRetryLoop`: the loop now receives
`ctx: AgentRunContext` whole and reads `ctx.stopScript` + `ctx.toolState.*`
directly. `getUnsubmittedReview` becomes a pure utility in postRun.ts
instead of a closure shipped over `AgentRunContext`. `AgentRunContext`
loses 4 fields that duplicated `toolState` (`summaryFilePath`,
`summarySeed`, `learningsFilePath`, `getUnsubmittedReview`) and gains
`toolState: ToolState`. both harness call sites collapse from 11 lines to
7; main.ts deletes the inline closure.

`ToolState` and friends move from `action/mcp/server.ts` to
`action/toolState.ts` so non-MCP code (agents, post-run loop) stops
importing run-state types from the MCP server module.

no behavior change. 503/503 tests green.

* toolState: relocate `CommentableLines` to break dep cycle with mcp/review

`action/toolState.ts` was importing `CommentableLines` from
`mcp/review.ts`, which pulled the entire MCP server compile graph (24
files) into any consumer of `ToolState` — including `cf-worker-indexing`
via the `pullfrog/internal` re-export chain through `utils/log.ts` →
`agents/shared.ts` → `toolState.ts`. that exposed a pre-existing TS
error in `mcp/issueEvents.ts` (octokit types resolve differently under
cf-worker's `moduleResolution: bundler`).

move `CommentableLines` (a small `{ RIGHT: Set<number>; LEFT: Set<number> }`
state-shape type) to `toolState.ts` where it's used; re-export from
`mcp/review.ts` for back-compat with test and call-site imports. cuts
cf-worker's mcp/ compile inclusion from 24 files back to 0.

* postRun: drop mock-heavy retry-loop tests; keep pure gate predicate

`runPostRunRetryLoop` and `executeStopHook` were covered by ~560 lines
of mock-heavy regression-gate tests that stubbed `spawn` / `getGitStatus`
and fabricated `AgentRunContext` to drive orchestration paths. per
AGENTS.md ("prefer no test over a mock-heavy test that only catches the
most obvious form of regression") and the empirical track record — the
one real production failure of this code path (#646) was a missing npm
release, not a logic bug a unit test could catch — the value-to-ceremony
ratio is poor. delete them.

keep only the pure predicate: `getUnsubmittedReview(toolState)` is a
decision function whose four input conditions have user-visible
consequences when wrong. 5 assertions, no mocks, no ctx fabrication.

488 tests still pass.

* toolState: import PrepResult from prep/types.ts, not the barrel

same dep-cycle class as the previous CommentableLines fix. importing
PrepResult from prep/index.ts pulled prep/installNodeDependencies.ts
into the Next.js production build's typecheck graph (via
pullfrog/internal → utils/log.ts → agents/shared.ts → toolState.ts →
prep/index.ts → installNodeDependencies.ts), and Next.js's stricter
NODE_ENV-required ProcessEnv shape rejected an existing
`env: { PATH: ... }` literal.

prep/types.ts is a leaf module with zero imports — re-routing the type
import severs the chain. Vercel preview deploy goes from Error → Ready;
preview-sync stops racing the deploy.

Colin McDonnell ef394277c1 review: synthesize [!NOTE] informational tier with #644 alert judiciousness — 4-callout visual ladder + approved Fix-gate (#653)
* review: NOTE-tier callout + `actionable` flag to suppress Fix buttons

Adds an `actionable` parameter to the `create_pull_request_review` tool
(defaults true) so the agent can opt out of the Fix-it/Fix-all/Fix-👍s
footer affordance on informational reviews. Threaded through
`createAndSubmitWithFooter` so the buttons are omitted when
`actionable: false`.

Updates `Review` and `IncrementalReview` mode prompts with a 4th tier:
`> [!NOTE]` + `actionable: false` for mergeable, FYI-style observations
(prior feedback addressed cleanly, minor stale doc reference, etc.).
Calibration note: `[!IMPORTANT]`/`[!CAUTION]` are reserved for findings
that warrant code changes, because that's what trains users to click
Fix. `[!NOTE]` reviews must not carry inline comments — if a point is
concrete enough to anchor to a line, upgrade the whole review tier.

* review: drop redundant `actionable` flag, key Fix buttons off `approved`

`approved` already encodes "this PR is mergeable, nothing for the Fix
button to act on" — `actionable` was a second flag carrying the same
signal. Drop it from the tool schema and `FooterOpts`; the footer gate
stays `if (!opts.approved)` (unchanged from pre-PR behavior, with a new
comment documenting the UX rationale).

NOTE-tier reviews now use `approved: true` + `> [!NOTE]` body instead of
`approved: false` + `actionable: false`. For repos with
`prApproveEnabled: false`, the runtime already downgrades APPROVE to
COMMENT, so the GitHub-side shape is identical to the prior design.

* review: address Pullfrog feedback — drop ambiguous parenthetical + update postRun nudge

- Review-mode calibration: drop the "(or no callout at all)" parenthetical
  that didn't map cleanly to a bullet; replace with explicit "both the
  `[!NOTE]` tier and the 'no actionable issues' tier below use approved:
  true" so the bullet-list anchor is obvious.
- `buildUnsubmittedReviewPrompt` (Review mode): the fallback nudge for
  unsubmitted reviews now defers to the mode prompt's tier matrix and
  acknowledges that `> [!NOTE]` informational reviews submit with
  `approved: true` alongside the canonical "No new issues found." path.
  Previously the nudge only described the pre-NOTE binary world.

Colin McDonnell 85d25a6fe6 post-run gate: fail review-mode runs that don't submit a review or progress (#638)
* post-run gate: fail the run when review mode finishes without a review or progress

review-mode runs that ended in a text-only assistant turn ("now I have enough
to draft the review...") were silently swallowed: the progress comment was
deleted by stranded-comment cleanup and no review appeared on the PR. user-
visible result was identical to "the agent never ran." caught in
https://github.com/pullfrog/app/actions/runs/25583698781.

new post-run gate alongside stopHook / dirtyTree / summaryStale: derived
inline from toolState (selectedMode in {Review, IncrementalReview} && !review
&& !finalSummaryWritten && hadProgressComment) — no parallel toolState flag.
when it fires, the resume prompt nudges the agent to call either
create_pull_request_review or report_progress; persistent failure after
MAX_POST_RUN_RETRIES surfaces as AgentResult.error.

also: when the post-run loop returns success=false, write the error to the
progress comment before the stranded-comment cleanup runs, and skip the
delete in that case. previously a !success run from the loop would lose the
error message into the void.

IncrementalReview's trivial-skip branch now calls report_progress with a
brief "no review warranted" note instead of exiting silently — keeps the
contract symmetric with the gate and gives the user a visible signal even
on no-op review runs.

documents the literal-record design rule on the ToolState interface so
future fields don't drift back into derived/absence-encoding state.

* review feedback: mode-aware nudge, gate-error preservation, prompt order

addresses three findings from the auto-review on this PR:

1. Review mode nudge no longer offers `report_progress` as an exit. Review
   mode's contract (modes.ts step 5) forbids it; the gate previously sent
   contradictory copy. IncrementalReview's nudge still offers both since
   its trivial-skip path legitimately allows `report_progress`.

2. `writeJobSummary` is now wrapped in try/catch on the success-path
   cleanup. without this, a throw there jumped to the outer catch and
   overwrote the gate's failure message in the progress comment with the
   (less actionable) writeJobSummary error — restoring exactly the
   invisible-failure UX this PR fixes. step-summary writes are
   informational; let them fail silently.

3. `buildPostRunPrompt` reorders gates to match the terminal hard-fail
   order: `stopHook` → `unsubmittedReview` → `dirtyTree` → `summaryStale`.
   when both hard-fail gates co-fire (rare in review modes), the prompt's
   emphasis now matches the user-visible failure message.

new test asserts the IncrementalReview nudge offers both exits while the
Review nudge offers only `create_pull_request_review`. e2e validation
already passed against pullfrog/preview-638-review-stop-hook PR #1
(gate fired once; agent recovered on second turn).

* mode-aware terminal error copy

second auto-review caught a residual contradiction: the terminal hard-fail
error string reported "create_pull_request_review or report_progress" for
both modes, even though the new mode-aware nudge tells Review-mode agents
"Review mode does not have a no-submit exit". the error message now mirrors
the nudge — Review names only `create_pull_request_review`,
IncrementalReview lists both. additional Review-mode hard-fail test asserts
the absence of `report_progress` in the error.

Colin McDonnell d6de1c369a learnings: edit-in-place tmpfile (drop update_learnings tool) (#635)
* learnings: edit-in-place tmpfile (drop update_learnings tool)

learnings now follow the PR-summary file pattern: server seeds
`pullfrog-learnings.md` from `Repo.learnings` at startup, agent reads
it as part of context, may edit in place during the post-run reflection
turn, server reads back at end-of-run and PATCHes if changed.

motivation: `update_learnings` required the agent to pass the FULL
merged list as a string parameter — an output-token tax that grew
linearly with the learnings size, and a constant prompt-context
expansion since the contents were also inlined into the LEARNINGS
section. for repos with mature learnings the prompt was getting
visibly noisy in CI logs.

key changes:
- new `action/utils/learnings.ts` (seed/read helpers + 10k cap)
- `main.ts`: always seed; `persistLearnings` mirrors `persistSummary`
  (success path, error path, exit-signal handler, idempotent guard,
  byte-trim equality skip); forwards `model` for `LearningsRevision.model`
- `LEARNINGS` prompt section now contains only the file path + a
  one-line "read it" instruction (no contents inlined)
- `update_learnings` MCP tool deleted; `action/mcp/learnings.ts` removed
- reflection turn (`buildLearningsReflectionPrompt`) reframed around
  file editing with explicit prune-stale + leave-alone-if-nothing-new
  framing
- `learningsStep` removed from every mode checklist — surface lives only
  in the LEARNINGS prompt section + the reflection turn now

* learnings: harden seed step + refresh stale docs (review feedback)

Three findings from PR review, all implemented:

1. wrap learnings seed in best-effort try/catch (action/main.ts) —
   the always-on seed block ran unconditionally and an unwrapped
   `seedLearningsFile` (mkdir + writeFile) failure (ENOSPC, EACCES,
   hostile sandbox) would unwind into the outer main() catch and flip
   an otherwise-successful run to " Pullfrog failed" before the
   agent even started. asymmetric with `persistLearnings`'s own
   best-effort contract. wrap and log on failure; downstream
   consumers (`persistLearnings`, agent harnesses, `resolveInstructions`)
   already handle `learningsFilePath: undefined` cleanly.

2. refresh wiki/main.md — `resolveInstructions` parameter renamed
   from `learnings` to `learningsFilePath` in this PR; the data-flow
   diagram and the resolver dependency table both still showed the
   pre-refactor signature.

3. drop deleted `learnings.ts` from ROADMAP.md + RESEARCH.md
   "missing MCP tool tests" bullets — `action/mcp/learnings.ts` was
   removed in this PR; the bullets are otherwise still accurate.

Colin McDonnell e4e93ea6d3 PR summary as agent-edited tmpfile snapshot (#568)
* PR summary as agent-edited tmpfile snapshot

Replaces the comment-based PR summary path (and the in-progress
update_pr_summary tool from #534) with a snapshot file the agent edits in
place during Review / IncrementalReview / pr-summary Task runs.

The server seeds the tmpfile with the previous snapshot (incremental) or a
stable scaffold (first run), exposes the path via select_mode, and reads it
back at end-of-run to persist to WorkflowRun.summarySnapshot and (when the
prSummaryComment toggle is on) splice into the PR description body.

Why a tmpfile rather than a tool call: incremental snapshot edits are
output-token-cheap when the agent uses native file-editing tools, and
range-diff cleanly across runs because section headings are stable. The
agent never has to regurgitate the full snapshot to update it.

Gating: snapshot generation is opt-in via either prSummaryComment="enabled"
(splice into PR body) or prReReview="enabled" (snapshot feeds future
incremental review runs as context). Users who disable both pay nothing
end-to-end — no seeding, DB write, or body splice.

Behavior changes:
- Drop the Summarize mode and the Summary comment type entirely; the
  rolling summary is no longer a separate run shape.
- pull_request_synchronize with re-review off and summary on still
  dispatches a silent pr-summary Task, but it edits the snapshot file
  instead of posting a fresh comment.
- /api/repo/.../pr/.../summary-comment now returns
  { snapshot: string | null } from the DB instead of fetching a comment via
  GraphQL. URL kept stable so deployed older actions degrade gracefully.
- summaryCommentNodeId is retained on WorkflowRun for legacy data and a
  future backfill of pre-snapshot comment-based summaries.

Supersedes #534. The commit-tool/sub-agent direction in that PR is
abandoned in favor of this file-based shape.

* address review pass #1: synchronize fallback, splice idempotency, docs

* address review pass #2: in-flight skip should not race summary fallback

* address review pass #3: signal-handler flush, doc clarifications

* address review pass #4: in-flight persist promise + bounded body-splice timeout

* address review pass #5: defensive catch on persist worker, doc nit

* add summary-stale post-run gate

When generateSummary is set, we capture the bytes of the seeded snapshot
file and pass them to the agent's post-run loop alongside the file path.
After each agent attempt, the loop diffs the current file against the
seed; if they're byte-identical the agent never touched it, and we nudge
once via a resume turn (similar to the dirty-tree gate, but soft and
fire-once so smaller models that legitimately decide no edit is warranted
don't burn the retry budget).

Mostly defends against forgetful smaller models on the Review path —
their mode prompt asks them to edit the snapshot file, but the
multi-step instruction can fall through when the diff is large.

* trigger: retry vercel preview build

* fix(action): drop unused re-export that pulled node:fs/promises into next bundle

action/internal/index.ts was re-exporting DEFAULT_PR_SUMMARY_INSTRUCTIONS
from action/utils/prSummary.ts, but nothing in the next.js app imports
it. prSummary.ts uses node:fs/promises, and pullfrog/internal is aliased
into the next bundle by next.config.ts, which made turbopack try to
resolve node:fs/promises in client chunks and fail with:

  the chunking context (unknown) does not support external modules
  (request: node:fs/promises)

drop the re-export — selectMode.ts (the only real consumer) already
imports it directly from action/utils/prSummary.ts.

* firewall PR summary snapshot from user instructions; resurrect rich format for Review

The agent-internal snapshot (the markdown file the agent edits in place across
runs) is exclusively durable context for future agent runs — user-supplied
summarization instructions warp it and degrade that context. Drop the
prSummaryCommentInstructions read path end-to-end:

- handleWebhook: stop reading prSummaryCommentInstructions, stop passing
  prSummaryInstructions through dispatch options
- action payload + ToolState + selectMode addendum: drop the instructions
  appendix; the snapshot prompt is fixed, not user-shaped
- TriggersSettings: drop the InstructionsEditor for prSummaryCommentInstructions
- prSummary.ts: reframe DEFAULT_PR_SUMMARY_INSTRUCTIONS as agent-targeted
  (durable context, not human-facing prose)

Prisma columns (prSummaryComment, prSummaryCommentInstructions) and the
matching zod schema entry stay for graceful retreat.

Separately, resurrect PR_SUMMARY_FORMAT (deleted along with the Summarize mode
in the original PR) and wire it into Review mode only. Initial PR reviews now
include a structured summary section in the review body using the rich format
(TL;DR, key changes, ## sections with before/after, file-link trails).
IncrementalReview keeps its existing terser bullet-list shape since re-review
bodies are deltas, not introductions. The user-facing review summary and the
agent-internal snapshot are deliberately separate artifacts with separate
prompts and zero shared content.

* address review comments: prompt self-consistency + stale-doc cleanup

PR 568 self-review (4232488109) flagged a self-contradiction the firewall
commit introduced and three stale doc references that survived.

- action/modes.ts: Review-mode step 2's trivial-PR shortcut said `submit
  "Reviewed — no issues found." per step 5`, but step 5's rewrite removed
  exactly that preamble. Aligned both: trivial PRs and no-actionable-issues
  PRs now produce a body that opens with "No new issues found." followed by
  the PR summary, so the user gets the headline up front and still sees what
  was reviewed.
- docs/pr-reviews.mdx: dropped the "customize the summary style with Summary
  instructions in the console" sentence (the editor was removed in the
  firewall commit). Replaced with a note that the snapshot uses Pullfrog's
  built-in format and is not user-customizable.
- wiki/prompt.md, wiki/modes.md: rewrote the snapshot-prompt entries to
  reflect the firewall — DEFAULT_PR_SUMMARY_INSTRUCTIONS is the entire
  prompt, prSummaryCommentInstructions is no longer wired in.

* drop orphaned prSummaryCommentInstructions column

Prod audit (455 repos): 5 non-null rows on a single account, all containing the
literal placeholder text from the InstructionsEditor we removed in the firewall
commit. No account has an intentional preference set, so silent-ignore (the
keep-for-retreat option) costs us nothing meaningful while leaving an orphan
column in the schema. Drop it.

- prisma/schema.prisma: remove the column
- prisma/migrations/20260506000000_drop_pr_summary_comment_instructions:
  ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
- utils/schemas/triggers.ts: drop the matching zod entry

* drop body splicing; snapshot is internal-only

User-visible PR summarization continues to ship in Review and IncrementalReview
review bodies (which already render PR_SUMMARY_FORMAT and "Reviewed changes"
respectively). The snapshot tmpfile is now purely durable cross-run agent
context — seed, edit-in-place, save to DB, feed the next run. Massive
simplification: the body splice mechanics, the two-toggle gating matrix, the
summaryHandlingCovered race tracking, and the synchronize summary-only Task
fallback all go away.

Code:
- prSummary.ts: drop splice/strip/marker code (`splicePrSummary`,
  `stripExistingSummaryBlock`, `buildSummaryBlock`, `extractPrSummary`,
  PULLFROG_SUMMARY_START/END). keep scaffold, instructions, seed/read.
- main.ts: rename persistAndPostSummary -> persistSummary; collapse to a
  single DB PATCH. drop pulls.get/pulls.update, drop AbortSignal timeout,
  drop in-flight promise machinery, drop prSummaryToBody plumbing.
- ToolState: add summarySeed (replaces local var in main.ts so persist can
  compare). drop prSummaryToBody and summaryPersistInFlight.
- persistSummary now compares against the seed and skips the DB write
  with a warning when unchanged — saving the seed verbatim is either a
  no-op or persists the placeholder scaffold, neither useful.
- postRun.ts: when summary-stale is the only failing gate and the resume
  turn itself fails, restore the pre-resume successful result and break.
  symmetric with the existing reflection-failure preservation. summary-stale
  can no longer flip a successful run to failed.

Webhook:
- pull_request_opened: generateSummary follows prReReview only (the snapshot
  has no consumer when re-review is off).
- pull_request_synchronize: collapses to "if prReReview enabled, dispatch
  IncrementalReview". the summaryHandlingCovered flag, the same-SHA/in-flight
  coordination it was protecting, and the summary-only Task fallback all
  delete cleanly.

UI / config:
- drop SummarizePRsTrigger (the toggle gated body splice; with that gone
  it has no behavior). drop sidebar entry, console import, Text icon import.
- drop prSummaryComment from triggers zod schema, prisma schema, preview
  settings script.

Migration: squash the two existing migrations into one timestamped
20260507000000_pr_summary_snapshot covering all three column changes
(add summarySnapshot on workflow_runs, drop prSummaryCommentInstructions
and prSummaryComment on repos). repo convention is one migration per PR.

Action: bump 0.0.203 -> 0.0.205 (payload contract changed: prSummaryToBody
removed; main is at 0.0.204).

Out-of-diff cleanup:
- review.ts:190 + review.test.ts:651 — "Reviewed — no issues found." ->
  "No new issues found." to match the canonical body in modes.ts.

Verified: pnpm typecheck clean, pnpm lint clean, postRun + review tests
pass, dev DB reset against production and the squashed migration applied
cleanly (summarySnapshot present, prSummaryComment / prSummaryCommentInstructions
both gone).

* re-orient snapshot toward functional summary; drop prior-review-feedback section

Empirical audit on preview-568 PR #5 showed the snapshot IS load-bearing
for the orchestrator: lens-dispatch prompts on incremental runs carried
forward context from the snapshot's risk register (e.g. "the JSDoc
explicitly scopes to code points — do not flag grapheme-cluster issues"
on the surrogate-pair fix run, "consistency with native padStart" on the
padStart-added run). The orchestrator was reading the snapshot, reasoning
about it, and using it to anti-prime / focus subagents — exactly the
high-leverage path. My earlier "snapshot is write-only" claim was wrong.

The shape, however, was steering it toward review-history-log instead of
functional summary. This commit re-orients:

- prSummary.ts: replace the four-section scaffold (~580 chars of placeholder
  italics under "What this PR does / Key changes / Risk / Reviewed in prior
  runs") with a minimal seed (~150 chars: just a header + a one-line
  comment about what the file is for). different PRs warrant different
  organization; forcing a refactor and a feature into the same template
  is procrustean. minimal seed also makes the unchanged-from-seed gate
  in persistSummary more sensitive.

- selectMode.ts addendum: rewrite around three principles. (1) the snapshot
  is a FUNCTIONAL summary of what the PR does and the risks it carries,
  not a chronological review log — commit history can already be
  reconstructed from list_pull_request_reviews. (2) the orchestrator should
  USE the snapshot during triage and dispatch — concrete example given of
  carrying snapshot context into subagent lens prompts. (3) structure is
  the agent's call; stable headings make snapshots range-diff cleanly when
  they fit, but riff when they don't.

- modes.ts IncrementalReview: drop the "Prior review feedback" checklist
  from the user-facing review body (step 6b gone, step 7 ELSE IFs cleaned
  up). It duplicated content that's already covered by the Reviewed-changes
  bullets and tracked durably in the snapshot for the next agent run; in
  the user-facing body it was noise. step 3 still fetches prior reviews
  but its role is now just filtering aggregation in step 5, not rendering.

- AGENTS.md: codify "no follow-ups" rule. when an issue is identified
  during code review, fix it in this PR — PR scope does not constrain
  quality. follow-up TODOs are forbidden as a substitute for doing the
  work now.

Empirical evidence supporting the re-orientation:

- Run 25568912293 (PR#5 incr1, surrogate-pair fix): orchestrator's
  correctness lens dispatch said "Do NOT flag grapheme-cluster issues
  — the JSDoc scopes to code points." The grapheme-cluster framing was
  not in the diff; it was downstream of the snapshot's prior risk-section
  framing of truncate's contract. Snapshot influencing dispatch.

- Run 25569054779 (PR#5 incr2, padStart added): orchestrator's correctness
  lens dispatch enumerated edge cases including "consistency with native
  String.prototype.padStart contract" and "fill = multi-code-point string
  (e.g. emoji)". Both threads carried over from the snapshot's prior
  truncate code-point-vs-code-unit discussion. Snapshot informing the
  shape of what was looked for.

The cost of maintaining the snapshot (~800 tokens, ~$0.005/run) is
trivially affordable when it materially improves orchestrator triage
on the 1-5 lenses dispatched per review.

David Blass c6a757424c Stop hook + learnings reflection via post-run loop (#515) (#548)
* add stop hook + learnings reflection to post-run loop (#515)

stop hook (#515): repo-configured script that runs after the agent
finishes. non-zero exit resumes the agent with the hook output as
guidance; persistent failure (3 attempts) marks the run failed. the
dirty-tree and stop-hook gates share a single retry loop so a fix +
push happen in one turn.

learnings reflection: per Colin, the learnings step baked into mode
checklists rarely fires — the agent stays focused on the task and the
meta-ask falls through. the post-run loop now delivers a dedicated
one-shot --continue turn asking the agent to call update_learnings if
relevant, nothing else competing for attention. reflection doesn't
consume the gate-retry budget; if it dirties the tree, the next loop
iteration catches it via the dirty-tree gate.

plumbing: Repo.stopScript column + migration, zod schema, run-context
api, AgentSettings UI. RepoSettings.stopScript threads through to
AgentRunContext and into each agent harness.

subprocess-dependent logic lives in action/agents/postRun.ts to keep
action/agents/shared.ts lean — shared.ts is reachable from
pullfrog/internal, and pulling node:child_process through it leaks
into root tsc (which uses bundler resolution, not NodeNext).

* fix: preserve successful run when reflection turn fails

The post-run reflection turn (update_learnings nudge) is a best-effort
one-shot; its failure must not flip a successful run to failed. Prior
code overwrote `result` with the reflection's return value, so a model
API error during reflection caused the whole run to be reported as
failed even though the gated work had already completed cleanly.

Now: save the pre-reflection result, and if reflection returns
`success: false`, log a warning, restore the prior success, and exit
without re-invoking the gates (re-running a freshly-green stop hook
risks a flaky false-positive failure).

Adds action/agents/postRun.test.ts covering the reflection path —
previously uncovered.

* fix: surface both stop-hook stdout and stderr to the agent

The `(stderr || stdout)` heuristic in executeStopHook dropped stdout
entirely whenever stderr had any content. Scripts that emit a benign
warning to stderr and the actionable error to stdout (common for
wrapper scripts) starved the agent of the information it needed to
fix the issue.

Now concatenate both streams (stderr first, stdout second, skipping
empty ones) before truncation. This keeps stdout's tail — usually
where summaries and totals live — intact under the 4096-char cap.

* test: lock in the core post-run retry + reflection invariants

PR #548's test plan ships four manual verification scenarios.
Convert three to vitest coverage, catching regressions on the hottest
code paths:

- persistent stop hook failure exhausts MAX_POST_RUN_RETRIES and
  surfaces as AgentResult.error with both the retry count and the
  verbatim hook output (so the GitHub-comment rendering stays
  actionable).
- every gate retry is fed the hook output as the resume prompt.
- usage aggregates across the initial run plus every retry (billing
  relies on this).
- reflection turn still fires when no stop hook is configured and the
  tree is clean.

Manual item remaining is the full UI round-trip of the settings form,
which is out of scope for unit tests.

* test: cover executeStopHook soft-fail and truncation invariants

Three paths the PR documents but previously had no regression gates:

- timeout (SPAWN_TIMEOUT_CODE) and activity-timeout
  (SPAWN_ACTIVITY_TIMEOUT_CODE) must return null, not a failure. a
  hook that times out is an infra problem; retrying with an agent
  turn risks an infinite loop.
- spawn errors (ENOENT from a typoed binary, etc.) take the same
  soft-fail path for the same reason.
- oversize hook output is truncated to the last 4096 chars with a
  "truncated" marker, keeping the tail (where summaries live) and
  protecting the 65535-char GitHub-comment budget downstream.

Regression targets — a refactor that accidentally surfaces an infra
failure as a gate failure, or blows the comment budget, will now
fail loudly in CI.

* test: cover soft-fail, no-resume, and short-circuit invariants

Three more documented behaviors that previously had no regression
gates:

- dirty-tree-only is a soft-fail: persistent uncommitted changes log
  and warn but DO NOT flip the run to failed. a regression that
  started surfacing this as AgentResult.error would break every run
  that leaves a test fixture untracked.
- canResume=false + stop hook failure still surfaces the hook failure
  as AgentResult.error. the retry budget is zero so "N retry
  attempts" is correctly omitted from the message, but the run still
  reports WHY it failed rather than silently reporting success.
- initial result with success=false short-circuits the loop: no gate
  checks, no reflection, no resume calls. the original agent error
  flows through verbatim for clean triage.

Also reset mockedSpawn in beforeEach so test state doesn't leak
between cases.

* test: lock in the reflection-dirties-tree → dirty-tree-gate path

The PR description claims: "if the reflection turn dirties the tree,
the loop picks that up on the next iteration via the normal
dirty-tree gate." There was no regression gate on this invariant.

Without it, a refactor that moved the reflection out of the retry
loop (e.g., into a one-shot post-loop call) would silently bypass
the commit-before-you-finish contract whenever the agent misbehaves
during reflection — uncommitted changes would ship as part of the
run's "success" state.

The test sequences three getGitStatus returns (clean → dirty → clean)
and asserts two resume calls: REFLECTION first, then UNCOMMITTED
CHANGES with the dirtying file in the prompt.

* fix: preserve pre-reflection task output when reflection succeeds

the reflection turn's reply ("done" or "updated learnings with N bullets")
is a meta-ask, not a task summary. before this fix, result = reflectionResult
clobbered the original task's output on the returned AgentResult, so
downstream consumers (handleAgentResult's fallback path when toolState is
empty, programmatic callers of main()) saw the reflection's trivial reply
instead of the real summary.

spread reflectionResult to inherit fields subsequent gate retries need
(e.g. the new sessionId claude emits per --resume invocation), but keep
the pre-reflection output verbatim.

* fix: fall back to reflection's output when pre-reflection output is empty

the prior fix used `??` which only fell through on null/undefined. runs
that communicate exclusively through MCP tools (e.g. report_progress) and
emit no plain text leave result.output = "", which `??` preserved as-is —
dropping the reflection's reply and leaving handleAgentResult's fallback
path with nothing to show. switch to `||` so empty-string pre-reflection
output yields the reflection's output instead of ""; non-empty task output
still wins as intended.

* test: drop reflection-failure-skips-hook test (over-specified control flow)

the test pinned the literal `break` in the post-reflection failure
branch with stopScript=null, asserting only that getGitStatus was
called once. that's not a behavior contract — a reasonable refactor
(e.g. `continue` to re-check gates with explicit flake guards) would
fail this test even though the new behavior would be fine. the
"does not flip a successful run to failed" test already covers the
only thing callers depend on.

* test: drop low-value mock-driven tests from postRun

- "fires the reflection turn when no stop hook is configured" — fully
  subsumed by the output-preservation test (asserts task output
  survives, which is only possible if reflection fired).
- "uses stdout alone" / "uses stderr alone" — pin format trivia
  (`filter(Boolean).join`) that LLMs ignore.
- "returns empty output (not undefined) when both streams are empty"
  — guards a TS-impossible case; every consumer uses `output || "(no output)"`.
- "returns null on activity-timeout" — duplicate of the timeout test;
  same `return null` branch with a different constant.
