Related GitHub Issue

No linked issue. This repository-automation change was requested directly by a maintainer.

What changed

  • Gate CodeRabbit activation on every required check configured for main, evaluating GitHub's {context, integration} rules verbatim.
  • Route eligible human-authored PRs through required CI → CodeRabbit current-head review → human maintainer approval.
  • Route bot-authored PRs through required CI → human maintainer approval, with optional human-invoked CodeRabbit review.
  • Use CodeRabbit's native GitHub review state rather than scraping walkthrough comments.
  • Keep fork and custom review gates advisory; native GitHub required checks and review protections provide hard merge enforcement.
  • Fail closed if repository rules make this workflow's own Zoo Code / PR review gate or Zoo Code / reconcile PR review state outputs required.
  • Reconcile managed labels and guidance comments with retry-safe head markers, same-run activation recovery, independent cleanup attempts, and strict stale-success invalidation.
  • Require a PR number for manual dispatches.
  • Add an 84-scenario executable workflow harness covering CI, drafts, forks, conflicts, stale reviews, API failures, contradictory status signals, partial metadata writes, and asynchronous reconciliation.

Why this change was made

Human-authored PRs should reach CodeRabbit only after required CI is green, and maintainer approval should represent the final review of that same commit. Bot-author exclusions require a separate maintainer-first path. GitHub rulesets expose only check name plus app identity, so the workflow no longer infers ownership or silently excludes required rules; a truly required custom gate would need a dedicated GitHub App identity.

Impact

Eligible human-authored PRs follow required CI → CodeRabbit native review → human maintainer approval. Bot-authored PRs follow required CI → human maintainer approval, with optional human-invoked CodeRabbit review. Fork and advisory-gate enforcement remains with native GitHub protections.

There is no rendered extension UI change.

Test Procedure

  • Run pnpm test -- --maxWorkers=4.
  • Run pnpm lint and pnpm check-types.
  • Run Actionlint against .github/workflows/label-pr-review-state.yml.
  • Run the focused workflow harness and confirm all 84 scenarios pass.
  • Dispatch Label PR review state with this PR number and confirm only this PR is reconciled.
  • For CodeRabbit-participating PRs, resolve every concrete Error under Pre-merge checks; a green execution status alone is not approval.

Pre-Submission Checklist

  • Issue Linked: This PR is linked to an approved GitHub Issue.
  • Scope: The changes are limited to PR review automation and its documentation/tests.
  • Self-Review: The final diff has been reviewed for correctness and partial-failure behavior.
  • Testing: Focused and full repository tests pass.
  • Visual Snapshot: Not applicable; there is no rendered extension UI change.
  • Documentation Impact: Contributor-facing behavior is documented.
  • Contribution Guidelines: The contribution guidelines were followed.

Documentation Updates

Kept CONTRIBUTING.md limited to concise contributor-facing expectations for CI, actionable feedback, managed labels, and maintainer approval.

Current implementation is through 88fa06385, with the TLA+ scope removed in 333508c25. The temporary CodeRabbit severity-rubric change was reverted in 573cf6d50.

  • Every GitHub required rule is evaluated exactly as returned; no context/app pair is silently excluded.
  • Zoo Code / PR review gate remains advisory. Native required CI and review protections provide hard merge enforcement.
  • Requiring this workflow's gate or reconciliation job creates an unsupported self-reference and fails closed.
  • Stale-success invalidation, partial failures, cleanup, and CodeRabbit activation retries are covered by deterministic fault-injection scenarios.

The executable harness is the authoritative validation surface with 84 passing scenarios. The PR-specific TLA+ model was removed because it did not cover the GitHub API adapter failures that dominate this workflow's risk. Full repository tests, lint, types, and Actionlint pass.

The remaining visible CodeRabbit finding concerns advisory label drift while native protections remain intact and the gate remains pending. The maintainer has accepted that non-merge-safety risk for this PR. The missing approved-issue warning remains non-code repository-policy input.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a staged pull request review process covering CI checks, automated review tracking, remediation, and maintainer approval.
    • Added review-state labels, guidance comments, and a review gate check.
    • Improved handling for fork-based pull requests, drafts, conflicts, stale reviews, permissions, and required checks.
  • Documentation

    • Updated contribution guidelines with review sequencing, label behavior, gate handling, and inactivity policy.
    • Added documentation for formal workflow validation.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for review states, approvals, checks, permissions, and workflow events.

Walkthrough

The PR updates the review-state workflow for fork-safe events, required CI checks, CodeRabbit reviews, maintainer approval, labels, guide comments, and a review gate. It adds a TLA+ state model, model-checking configuration, documentation, and workflow tests.

Changes

PR review gate

Layer / File(s) Summary
Event intake and review-state setup
.coderabbit.yaml, .github/workflows/label-pr-review-state.yml
Automatic and incremental CodeRabbit reviews are disabled. The workflow adds fork-safe triggers, workflow-run handling, PR discovery, review-state markers, and conditional label setup.
CI and review reconciliation
.github/workflows/label-pr-review-state.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md
Required checks use branch rules, check runs, external statuses, integration IDs, and missing-check detection. The workflow validates fresh CodeRabbit and permitted maintainer reviews, derives review phases, updates the guide and review gate, and documents the process.
Review-state model and validation
.github/tla/PrReviewLabels.tla, .github/tla/PrReviewLabels.cfg, .github/tla/README.md
The TLA+ model defines review-state transitions, reconciliation, derived labels, gate state, type constraints, and safety invariants. The configuration and README define bounded model checking and execution.
Workflow execution test coverage
src/services/__tests__/pr-review-state-workflow.test.ts
The tests execute the workflow script with mocked GitHub data across CI, review, draft, conflict, label, scheduling, permission, gate, and stale-head scenarios.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 02a0f

The workflow can leave a successful review-gate status in place when reconciliation cannot read the prior status, allowing a pull request to merge without the required current review. Merge enforcement also depends on branch rules being configured separately, so this change should not merge until the stale-status path is fixed and the required rule is confirmed.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description documents the implementation, rationale, impact, testing procedure, and checklist. However, it explicitly states that no approved GitHub Issue is linked, while the repository template requires every PR to link an approved issue.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The workflow has focused harness coverage, but two changed branches lack focused scenarios. updateReviewGate now skips publishing a success status when gate-status lookup fails (label-pr-review-state.yml:318); the tests cover lookup failure for pending and forced invalidation only, not a fully approved human PR. Review reduction now deletes a reviewer’s prior state on DISMISSED (:581-584); the suite tests dismissal only for CodeRabbit, not a maintainer approval dismissal that must keep the gate pending.

Resolution

Add harness cases for (1) fresh CodeRabbit approval followed by a later maintainer approval with getCombinedStatusForRef failing, asserting no success status is published while reconciliation continues, and (2) a fresh CodeRabbit approval followed by maintainer APPROVED then DISMISSED, asserting awaiting-maintainer and a pending gate. Keep these cases independent of the workflow implementation and assert the externally visible GitHub API effects.

Full details: Trust And Persistence Invariants

Explanation

The new activation path has a SHA-check-to-label-write race that can bypass the required-CI activation control. .coderabbit.yaml:20-24 makes coderabbit-review-active the CodeRabbit trigger. In .github/workflows/label-pr-review-state.yml, the workflow fetches the PR once (:92-95), evaluates checks for that snapshot's pr.head.sha (:463-471), sets activateCodeRabbit from that result (:639-643), and later adds the PR-wide activation label (:672) without revalidating the head or checks. Because workflow runs use cancel-in-progress: false (:28-30), a push can occur after the old run validates green CI but before it adds the label. The label then triggers CodeRabbit on the new, unvalidated head, while the new synchronize run is queued. The added tests cover static activation and stale markers, but not this head-change window.

Resolution

Do not use a PR-wide CodeRabbit trigger without binding it to the verified head. Before activation, re-fetch the PR and re-evaluate all required checks for the fetched SHA; abort and clear activation when the SHA changes. Use a trigger or CodeRabbit integration that carries or verifies that SHA, so a label cannot activate review for a later unvalidated commit. Add a harness scenario that changes the head between CI evaluation and addLabels and asserts that coderabbit-review-active is not added.

In @.github/workflows/label-pr-review-state.yml:
- Around line 219-220: Update the allowed calculation in the workflow’s trigger
validation so every requester must have write-level permission, regardless of
botAuthored or API actor type; preserve the existing permission levels and deny
lower-privileged human and automated accounts.
- Around line 443-447: Update the rules-endpoint fallback logic so an
unavailable required-checks endpoint evaluates all checks instead of forcing
ciPending indefinitely: remove requiredChecks === null from ciPending and
preserve the all-checks branches that populate the relevant runs and statuses.
Ensure the normal path still filters by requiredChecks when available, allowing
ciFailed and the PR review gate to reach success.
- Line 180: Update the PR review gate check summary to use the phase text from
phaseCopy[phase] directly rather than splitting reviewGuideBody output, so
acceptedTrigger metadata cannot appear in the summary.
- Around line 74-75: Update the issue_comment event path after pulls.get to
continue reconciliation only when the pull request state is open; skip closed
and merged pull requests before assigning eventPrNumbers or performing
downstream comment, label, and check updates. Keep the existing
open-pull-request behavior unchanged.
- Around line 229-233: Update resolveAcceptedTrigger to retain the earliest
accepted trigger for the current head SHA instead of overwriting requestedAt
when a repeated matching comment is received. Preserve the existing trigger when
its sha matches pr.head.sha, while allowing a new trigger timestamp when the
head SHA changes.
- Around line 508-511: Update both collaborator-permission lookups in
resolveAcceptedTrigger and the per-PR review reconciliation to treat a 404 from
github.rest.repos.getCollaboratorPermissionLevel as permission "none", while
preserving normal permissions and propagating other errors. Ensure an
unassociated reviewer cannot abort trigger evaluation or label/gate
reconciliation.
- Around line 404-407: Update the excludedCheckNames set in the reconcile
workflow job to use the job ID reconcile instead of the step-name string
Reconcile PR review state labels, while retaining reviewGateName.
