Summary

  • remove legacy foreign IdP GH_MapsToUser and GH_SyncedTo edge emission from ExternalIdentity
  • retain direct GitHub user mappings and normalized SAML_HasAccount bindings
  • remove dead matcher helpers/constants and replace legacy tenant-correlation tests with regression coverage for the new contract

Testing

  • uv run pytest tests/test_saml_models.py tests/test_saml_helpers.py tests/test_scim_models.py
  • uv run pytest (currently blocked by pre-existing imports of missing openhound_github.github_rest_client and openhound_github.github_retry in tracked upstream tests)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changes
    • Updated external identity display names to prioritize SAML usernames, then SCIM usernames, GUIDs, or node IDs.
    • Simplified identity relationships by removing legacy foreign-provider correlations and GitHub synchronization links.
    • Retained Okta as the supported external correlation endpoint.
    • Improved fallback identity data to include environment type.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for display-name fallbacks, direct user mappings, contract metadata, and removal of legacy correlations.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change removes foreign identity matching and synchronized GitHub-user edges. External identities now use SAML and SCIM usernames for display names before falling back to identifiers. Tests cover direct mappings, fallback data, and removed correlations.

Changes

External identity correlation cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove legacy correlation contracts
src/openhound_github/kinds/edges.py, src/openhound_github/kinds/nodes.py, src/openhound_github/models/saml_helpers.py
Removed obsolete edge and node constants. Removed foreign-user kind resolution and SAML matcher APIs.
Update external identity emission
src/openhound_github/models/external_identity.py
Removed foreign-user and synchronized GitHub-user edge generation. Display names now prefer SAML username, then SCIM username, then GUID or node ID.
Validate updated identity behavior
tests/test_saml_models.py
Added coverage for display-name fallback order, direct user mappings, omitted legacy correlations, and missing IdP fallback data.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e8178

The change removes legacy identity-correlation edges, but a saved search still depends on one of the removed edges and may no longer return expected results. The PR is otherwise mergeable with owner follow-up to update or remove that saved search.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a tidy trail,
Correlation ghosts now leave no tale.
SAML names hop to the front,
SCIM follows with a gentle thump.
Direct edges bloom in view—
Hop, hop, the tests confirm it too!

Update the legacy saved search.

extension/saved_searches/privileged-hybrid-identities.json still queries GH_SyncedTo, which no longer has an emitting implementation. Update it to use the remaining GH_MapsToUser path or remove it. The other GH_MapsToUser consumers remain valid.

Really should fix the queries that still reference GH_SyncedTo some time also :)
