Summary

This branch moves the managed Codex subagents from the retired gpt-5.6-*
models to the gpt-6-* family, so that the rendered Codex agent files match
the models now used locally. It also teaches Scrutineer to monitor agent
reviews already posted to a GitHub pull request, and makes foreground-only
polling a hard rule for every Scrutineer monitoring assignment, so that a
review or check is never reported as clean on the strength of a background
job, a green outer check, or a review of an older head.

No issue, roadmap task, or execplan is associated with this branch.

Codex model changes:

Subagent Before After
wyvern gpt-5.6-luna / high gpt-6-luna / high
journeyman gpt-5.6-terra / high gpt-6-sol / medium
artisan gpt-5.6-luna / xhigh gpt-6-luna / xhigh
scribe gpt-5.6-luna / high gpt-6-luna / high
alchemist gpt-5.6-terra / medium gpt-6-sol / medium
scrutineer gpt-5.6-luna / medium gpt-6-luna / medium

Review walkthrough

Validation

The gates ran sequentially against afcdbc9 on origin/main at 179bbe8, including the documentation updates:

make check-fmt     # passed (no formatter configured)
make markdownlint  # passed: 163 files, 0 errors
make lint          # passed, including skill-manifest-check
make typecheck     # passed (syntax check)
make test          # passed: 778 passed, 3 snapshots passed
make spelling      # passed
make nixie         # passed: all Mermaid diagrams validated
git diff --check origin/main...HEAD  # clean

Notes

  • The branch updates the manifest and contract tests and documents the
    Scrutineer behavior in both guides. The rendered subagent files on each
    host still need re-rendering after merge for the new models and instructions
    to take effect.
  • The PR review monitoring flow is opt-in ("when requested"); existing
    gate-running and GitHub Actions assignments are unaffected apart from the
    global foreground-only rule.

Summary by Sourcery

Upgrade managed Codex models and strengthen Scrutineer with foreground-only, evidence-based monitoring of GitHub pull-request reviews and checks.

New Features:

  • Add opt-in monitoring for GitHub pull-request agent reviews, including current-head validation, unresolved-thread handling, CodeRabbit pre-merge findings, and complete evidence collection.
  • Require structured reporting of PR checks, reviewer states, review findings, and outstanding evidence gaps.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent incomplete, stale, background, or outer-check-only evidence from being reported as a clean monitoring result.
  • Ensure paginated review-thread comments and deadline-constrained rate-limit handling are fully accounted for.

Enhancements:

  • Migrate managed Codex subagents to the gpt-6 model family and adjust selected reasoning tiers.
  • Make all Scrutineer monitoring foreground-only with shared private evidence bundles.
  • Document the new PR review monitoring behavior and evidence requirements.

Documentation:

  • Update developer and user guides with foreground monitoring and GitHub PR review monitoring procedures.

Tests:

  • Update model contract tests and add coverage for foreground monitoring, evidence-bundle initialization, nested review pagination, and deadline-aware rate-limit handling.

Reviews paused

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Use the following commands to manage reviews:

  • @coderabbitai resume to resume automatic reviews.
  • @coderabbitai review to trigger a single review.

Use the checkboxes below for quick actions:

  • ▶️ Resume reviews
  • 🔍 Trigger review

Summary

  • Update the Codex model assignments for the listed subagents to GPT-6 Luna or Sol. Set Journeyman’s reasoning effort to medium and natural-philosopher’s to high.
  • Keep all Scrutineer monitoring in the foreground until completion or the deadline. Add opt-in GitHub PR review monitoring for current-head reviews, unresolved threads, checks and CodeRabbit pre-merge reports.
  • Expand Scrutineer’s evidence-backed report to distinguish current and stale reviews, deduplicate findings, and list checks and outstanding evidence.

The author reports that validation passed at 6ecc537, including 726 tests and 3 snapshots. The manifest and tests changed; rendered subagent files still need re-rendering after merge.

Walkthrough

Several subagents receive updated Codex model or reasoning settings. Scrutineer instructions now define foreground-only PR monitoring, evidence collection, and report requirements. Tests assert the updated settings and monitoring instructions.

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

The model changes have direct contract coverage, and the new foreground rule has a phrase-presence test. The new GitHub PR review monitoring and reporting behaviour does not have substantive tests. The diff adds collection and pagination rules, current-head and stale-review handling, unresolved-thread filtering, CodeRabbit pre-merge parsing, duplicate suppression, and Checks/PR Agent Reviews/PR Review Findings/Outstanding report contracts. The only added Scrutineer test checks seven instruction phrases for the global foreground rule. Existing tests do not assert the new PR-review contracts. A plausible removal of the complete PR-review section would therefore leave the added test and existing tests passing, so the coverage is vacuous for the main new behaviour.

Resolution

Add contract tests for the new PR-review flow. Exercise the published procedures against a deterministic gh/GraphQL double, as the existing Actions procedure tests do. Cover paginated reviews, inline comments, conversation comments, nested reviewThreads comments, resolved-thread filtering, current-head versus stale SHA classification, head changes between polls, missing and pending required checks, CodeRabbit pre-merge failures under a green outer check, head-unverified reports, exact reviewer completion, verbatim findings, exact-location duplicate collapsing, and explicit outstanding items. Add report-template assertions for all new sections and their incomplete-evidence rules. Keep the model contract assertions and foreground-rule test.

Full details: User-Facing Documentation

Explanation

Document the new Scrutineer behaviour. The pull request changes agents/subagents.yml but changes no documentation. docs/users-guide.md describes local gates, optional coderabbit review --agent, and GitHub Actions monitoring, but it does not describe the new foreground-only rule or GitHub PR agent-review monitoring. It omits current-head review matching, unresolved-thread handling, CodeRabbit pre-merge reports, completion conditions, and the new report sections. The pull request also changes the managed Codex model assignments and reasoning effort without a migration-guide entry.

Resolution

Update docs/users-guide.md with the Scrutineer foreground-monitoring rule and the opt-in GitHub PR review workflow, including required evidence, stale and unresolved review handling, CodeRabbit report handling, deadlines, completion criteria, and output sections. Add a corresponding entry to docs/v0-3-0-migration-guide.md that signposts the new behaviour and lists the Codex model and reasoning-effort changes, including any required re-rendering or upgrade steps.

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

Document the new Scrutineer tooling contract. The reviewed diff changes agents/subagents.yml only, but adds global foreground-only monitoring, GitHub PR review/check polling, GraphQL reviewThreads pagination, current-head and stale-review handling, CodeRabbit pre-merge extraction, and new report sections. docs/developers-guide.md still documents only local gates, coderabbit review --agent, and GitHub Actions monitoring. It does not document these new procedures or their evidence and completion rules. The existing ADR 004 also still records natural-philosopher as gpt-5.6-sol with medium reasoning, while the change selects gpt-6-sol with high reasoning.

Resolution

Update docs/developers-guide.md under Scrutineer operating contract with the foreground-only rule, PR-monitoring prerequisites and workflow, REST and GraphQL data sources, pagination and thread filtering, current-head/stale evidence rules, CodeRabbit pre-merge handling, report sections, evidence-bundle requirements, and completion/deadline conditions. Add a logged ADR addendum, or the relevant design record, for the Natural Philosopher model and reasoning decision; record the other managed Codex model changes in the developer guide if they remain implementation policy. Keep any roadmap or ExecPlan status unchanged unless this work is linked to one.

Full details: Testing (Unit And Behavioural)

Explanation

Add behavioural coverage for the new Scrutineer GitHub PR review workflow. The change adds a network-bound workflow at agents/subagents.yml:749-868 for paginated REST data, GraphQL review threads, current-head and stale-review classification, CodeRabbit pre-merge findings, rate limits, deadlines, and reporting. The PR adds only phrase-presence assertions at tests/test_subagent_definitions.py:396-411; no test exercises these behaviours, edge cases, error paths, or invariants. The model contract updates are covered, but the main externally observable workflow is not.

Resolution

Add manifest-backed behavioural or end-to-end tests with a fake gh/GitHub boundary. Exercise pagination, GraphQL isResolved, missing and pending checks, head changes, stale and current reviews, unresolved threads, CodeRabbit failures hidden by a green outer check, unverified reports, rate-limit retry, deadline completion, foreground-only polling, duplicate findings, and the required report sections. Assert the resulting evidence classification and clean/incomplete verdicts.

Full details: Testing (Property / Proof)

Explanation

The Scrutineer change introduces invariants over many review states and transitions, but the PR adds no property test. agents/subagents.yml:749-855 covers pagination, current-head changes, stale and unresolved evidence, pending or missing checks, deadlines, and foreground polling. The new test at tests/test_subagent_definitions.py:396-410 checks only required text fragments. Hypothesis is already available in pyproject.toml:10.

Resolution

Add an executable evidence-classification or monitoring seam and Hypothesis tests. Generate paginated review and comment sets, reviewer and commit combinations, check states, thread resolution states, head changes, and deadline transitions. Assert that stale or head-unverified evidence cannot produce a clean result, all pages are processed, a new head invalidates prior reviews, and pending or missing evidence is reported as incomplete. Keep the existing parameterized tests for the small model-setting table and the wording contract.

Full details: Testing (Compile-Time / Ui)

Explanation

The PR changes a structured Scrutineer report and adds substantial text-based monitoring behaviour, but it adds no snapshot or focused contract tests for the new PR review sections. The only new prose test checks foreground monitoring. Existing tests cover the model changes and older Actions procedures, but they do not protect Checks, PR Agent Reviews, PR Review Findings, Outstanding, current-head matching, stale reviews, CodeRabbit pre-merge findings, or de-duplication.

Resolution

Add focused tests for the new Scrutineer PR-review contract. Snapshot the stable report structure or assert its semantic fields and headings. Keep dynamic SHA, URL, ID, timestamp, and reviewer values out of snapshots or replace them with stable placeholders. Add assertions for current-head binding, stale and missing evidence, CodeRabbit findings, verbatim finding text, and exact duplicate handling. Do not snapshot the entire prose body if that would make incidental wording changes brittle.

Full details: Observability

Explanation

The new Scrutineer flow adds foreground polling and gh pr view, gh pr checks, REST, and GraphQL calls for GitHub PR reviews. This introduces network and process boundaries, polling latency, retry behaviour, and new incomplete-evidence states. The diff adds no metrics or tracing spans. The private evidence bundle and structured report provide useful review content and terminal states, but they do not provide production timing telemetry, request correlation, or bounded failure signals. The model-only changes are not the failure; the new PR-monitoring path is.

Resolution

Instrument the PR-monitoring path before merge. Emit structured events at each poll and API request with operation, repository and PR context, head SHA, poll sequence, attempt, start/end time, duration, outcome, error category, and retry state. Add bounded counters and latency histograms for poll duration, API failures by category, rate-limit retries, stale or missing evidence, and deadline completion; keep PR IDs, URLs, bodies, and reviewer identities out of metric labels. Add spans for the monitoring operation and each GitHub API boundary, with logical operation and timing attributes only. Redact secrets and personal data from logs, while keeping required raw review evidence in the private bundle. Expose repeated deadline, missing-review, missing-check, and rate-limit states through an actionable existing alert or a new alert.

P1 Badge Initialize the evidence bundle for review-only monitoring

On a PR-review-only assignment, this requires REST responses to be written under a private bundle directory, but the only instruction that creates that directory is inside the separate GitHub Actions section at lines 955-959. Because Actions monitoring need not be requested, the review flow has no established bundle path or permissions and can fail to capture the evidence its report relies on; initialize the bundle before either monitoring flow.

P2 Badge Add independent pagination for nested review comments

For any review thread containing more than 100 comments, this capped inner connection cannot advance because it has no after argument or independent cursor; the query's sole $endCursor advances only reviewThreads. Consequently later replies or findings can be omitted and the PR can be reported clean incorrectly—exactly the partial-inner-page case already called out in skills/comenq-coderabbit/SKILL.md:180-183. The gh api manual also documents that GraphQL pagination advances the connection exposing $endCursor and pageInfo, so the nested connection needs its own follow-up query or cursor.

P2 Badge Bound rate-limit backoff by the observation deadline

If a request is rate-limited with less than 15–30 minutes remaining, this unconditional foreground sleep runs past the stated observation deadline, contradicting the global requirement to stop polling and report incomplete evidence when that deadline arrives. Cap the delay to the remaining observation time, or return rate-limited immediately when the minimum retry delay would exceed it.

@coderabbitai please create a new GitHub issue for the following:

For a PR where only a subset of these services is configured or requested, this unconditionally adds all three named bots to expected reviewers; the completion condition at lines 844-849 then waits for current-head reviews from absent bots until the deadline and reports the assignment incomplete. Include each named bot only when it was requested, observed, or explicitly supplied by the assignment.

## Problem

In `agents/subagents.yml`, Scrutineer's opt-in GitHub PR review monitoring rule lists `coderabbitai[bot]`, `chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]`, and `sourcery-ai[bot]` as expected reviewers without checking whether each bot is in scope. The completion condition requires a current-head review from every expected reviewer. If a PR uses only a subset of these services, monitoring waits for absent bots until the deadline and reports incomplete evidence.

## Required change

Build the expected-reviewer set from the assignment's reviewer list, the PR's review requests, and observed bot reviewers. Include each of the three named bots only if the assignment requested or explicitly supplied that bot, the PR requested it, or it was observed. Keep the current-head review requirement for reviewers that are in scope. Update the relevant tests for this rule.

## Acceptance criteria

- A named bot that was not requested, observed, or explicitly supplied by the assignment is not an expected reviewer.
- A named bot that meets any of those conditions remains an expected reviewer.
- When required checks are terminal and every in-scope expected reviewer has reviewed the current head, an absent out-of-scope bot does not keep monitoring pending or cause an incomplete result at the deadline.
- Tests cover a PR with only a subset of the three named bot services in scope.

Align managed Codex model selections with the local agent files, and set
natural-philosopher to `gpt-6-sol` with high reasoning effort.

Expand Scrutineer's GitHub PR workflow to collect head-bound reviews and
comments, unresolved threads, CodeRabbit pre-merge checks, and foreground
status polling. Keep findings verbatim, identify duplicates, and report
missing reviewers or pending checks explicitly.
Make foreground polling a hard rule in Scrutineer's operating posture so it
applies to every monitoring assignment, even when a task brief suggests
background work. Pin the rule in the subagent contract tests.
Initialize the evidence bundle before either monitoring flow, paginate
nested review comments with per-thread cursors, and bound rate-limit
backoff by the observation deadline. Pin these requirements in
Scrutineer's contract tests.
