What

Retires the Round-2 Codex auto-fix from the plugin PR review loop. That codex exec job was the only LLM spend in CI — Greptile and CodeRabbit already review every PR, so a third agent was redundant token cost.

Changes

  • decide() escalates to needs-maintainer instead of returning fix. The fix and push jobs are removed from plugin-pr-review-loop.yml, along with the CORSAIR_LLM_KEY / PR_BOT_PAT usage and the setOutput plumbing that only fed them.
  • Escalation stays deferred while the gate fails, so incomplete PRs keep getting the refreshed round-1 comment instead of prematurely hitting the maintainer queue.
  • Deleted scripts/pr-review/fix-prompt.md; updated docs/pr-review-bot.md.

Kept (behavior unchanged)

  • Deterministic plugin gate (R1–R4) + gate:failed label.
  • Templated round-1 consolidated Greptile-findings comment (zero LLM).
  • needs-maintainer escalation queue.
  • Greptile + CodeRabbit reviews.

Verify

  • scripts/pr-review/*.test.ts: 24/24 pass (decision table updated).
  • tsc -p scripts/pr-review: clean · biome check: clean.

Net: zero LLM tokens in CI. Fixes now come from a human or the local review harness.

The retired CORSAIR_LLM_KEY and PR_BOT_PAT secrets can be deleted from the repo.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changes

    • PR review automation now focuses on triaging and routing findings rather than making code changes.
    • High-priority findings are escalated directly for maintainer attention instead of triggering automated fixes.
    • Review outcomes now distinguish completed reviews, deferred reviews, and reviews requiring follow-up more clearly.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the review bot runbook and operational checklist to reflect the streamlined workflow, dry-run behavior, escalation process, and retired configuration.
    • Removed documentation for automated fixing, related cost controls, and obsolete configuration.

The Round-2 `codex exec` fix job was the only LLM spend in CI. Greptile and
CodeRabbit already review every PR, so a third agent was redundant token cost.

- decide() escalates to needs-maintainer instead of auto-fixing; the fix and
  push jobs (and their CORSAIR_LLM_KEY / PR_BOT_PAT secrets) are removed.
- Escalation stays deferred while the gate fails, so incomplete PRs keep the
  refreshed round-1 comment instead of hitting the maintainer queue.
- Kept: deterministic plugin gate, templated round-1 comment, needs-maintainer
  escalation. Fixes now come from a human or the local review harness.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR changes the review loop from automated fixing to triage and maintainer escalation. It removes fix decisions, fix artifacts, GitHub Actions outputs, related documentation, and workflow wiring. Tests validate the revised decision outcomes.

Changes

Review loop behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decision policy and round-one messaging
scripts/pr-review/loop.ts, scripts/pr-review/loop.test.ts
Round one now escalates remaining findings instead of starting a fix round. The fix result and separate round-two escalation branch are removed. Tests validate the new outcomes.
Loop orchestration and operational flow
scripts/pr-review/loop-main.ts, .github/workflows/plugin-pr-review-loop.yml, docs/pr-review-bot.md
The loop removes GitHub Actions output writes and the fix branch. Gate failures defer escalation as comments. The workflow and runbook now describe triage, direct escalation, dry-run behavior, and maintainer handling.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4d629

This change removes automated CI fixes and routes unresolved work to maintainers while gate-failing pull requests remain in refreshed round-one review; merge is reasonable with owner awareness that the messaging and escalation timing should remain aligned to avoid misleading maintainer expectations.

Greptile Summary

The PR removes the Codex auto-fix and push stages, leaving a deterministic review loop that routes unresolved findings to maintainers.

  • Routes serious findings from round 1 or legacy round 2 directly to maintainer escalation.
  • Defers escalation while the plugin gate fails and refreshes contributor guidance.
  • Removes obsolete workflow jobs, credentials, output plumbing, and the fix prompt.
  • Updates tests and operational documentation for the zero-LLM workflow.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
scripts/pr-review/loop.ts Updates the decision state machine so both round 1 and legacy round 2 states escalate unresolved serious findings.
scripts/pr-review/loop-main.ts Replaces deferred auto-fix handling with deferred escalation and removes fix-artifact and workflow-output plumbing.
scripts/pr-review/loop.test.ts Updates decision-table expectations and explicitly covers escalation from a legacy round-two marker.
.github/workflows/plugin-pr-review-loop.yml Removes the LLM fix and privileged patch-push jobs, retaining only deterministic triage.
docs/pr-review-bot.md Revises the runbook to document the zero-LLM maintainer-escalation workflow.

Add an orchestration test for deferred escalation.

The current tests cover decide() but not this new conversion from escalate to comment. Add a test with a round-one P0/P1 finding and at least one gate failure. Assert that the loop refreshes the round-one comment and does not apply needs-maintainer.

Greptile P1 on the previous commit: `currentRound` still reads persisted
`round=2` markers left by the retired fix job, but the new `decide()` only
escalated round 1 and returned `done` for round >= 2. Any in-flight PR already
at round 2 would silently drop out of the loop and never reach
`needs-maintainer`.

Escalate for round 1 or 2 (posting the round=3 marker either way); round 3+
stays silent and is refreshed in place by the done branch as before.
