When multiple review types share a Gitea bot account, Gitea uses the
latest review to determine the user's approval state. This creates a
race: if security finds issues but code-quality finishes last with
APPROVE, the PR appears approved.
Now before posting, each job checks if any sibling review from the same
user has REQUEST_CHANGES. If so and we would post APPROVE, we downgrade
to COMMENT instead — the review is still visible but won't override
the blocking state.
Documented in README under "Shared Token: Worst-Wins."
- system-prompt-file: reject absolute paths and paths containing ".."
Prevents reading arbitrary files outside the workspace on shared runners.
- Cleanup: cross-check r.User.Login == posted.User.Login before deletion
Defense-in-depth: only attempt to delete reviews from same author.
Flagged by both sonnet and security reviewers.
- README: fix wording (cleanup happens after posting, not before)
Issues filed for deferred work:
- #24: Consistent url.PathEscape across all client endpoints
- #25: Binary signature verification for supply-chain hardening
Sentinel-based cleanup:
- Reviews embed <!-- review-bot:NAME --> in body (hidden HTML comment)
- Cleanup matches by sentinel, not token identity
- Each reviewer-name is a logical identity (sonnet, gpt, security)
- Same token can run multiple review types without conflict
- No extra API scopes needed
System prompt file (--system-prompt-file / SYSTEM_PROMPT_FILE):
- Loads a local file with additional review instructions
- Appended to system base as "Additional Review Instructions"
- Enables specialized reviews (security, performance, etc.)
- Partially addresses #5
Security review:
- SECURITY_REVIEW.md prompt focused on vulnerabilities
- 3rd CI matrix entry using same token, different prompt
- Focus: injection, auth, secrets, input validation, crypto, races
CI changes:
- REVIEWER_NAME passed from matrix.name
- SYSTEM_PROMPT_FILE passed from matrix (empty for standard reviews)
- 3 reviewers: sonnet (general), gpt (general), security (focused)
- PostReview now returns *Review (id + user login from response)
- Delete flow: post first, then delete stale reviews by same user
- No read:user scope needed (identity from POST response)
- Removed GetAuthenticatedUser (requires scope we lack)
- ListReviews: full pagination (loops until partial page)
- envOrDefaultBool: case-insensitive, whitespace-trimmed
- action.yml: document accepted boolean values
- Tests updated for new PostReview signature
Before posting a review, the bot now:
1. Calls GET /api/v1/user to identify its own login
2. Lists all reviews on the PR
3. Deletes any existing reviews from itself
4. Posts the fresh review
This keeps PR threads clean — one review per bot at any time.
New Gitea client methods:
- GetAuthenticatedUser() — token self-identification
- ListReviews() — fetch reviews on a PR
- DeleteReview() — delete a review by ID
Flag: --update-existing / UPDATE_EXISTING (default true)
Set to false to preserve old behavior (stack reviews).
All delete failures are non-fatal (logged as warnings).
Closes#6
- UserMeta comment: "never trimmed" → "truncated only if base exceeds budget"
- Skip diff truncation marker when diffBudget < markerBudget (prevents
marker itself from pushing EstTokens over the limit)
- Rename filepath → filePath to avoid shadowing stdlib package name
Adds a budget package that estimates token usage and progressively
trims context to fit within model-specific limits.
Trim order (least important first):
1. Language patterns
2. Repository conventions
3. Full file context
4. Diff (truncated as last resort)
When content is trimmed, a note is appended to the user prompt so
the LLM knows context was reduced.
- New budget package with Fit(), EstimateTokens(), LimitForModel()
- Model limit table (GPT-4.1: 128K, GPT-5: 200K, Claude: 200K)
- Refactored review/prompt.go: BuildSystemBase() and BuildUserMeta()
extract non-trimmable content; old functions delegate to new ones
- main.go uses budget.Fit() instead of direct prompt assembly
- 7 unit tests covering all trim paths
Closes#19
- Add --version flag and log version on startup (closes#9)
- URL-escape ref query parameter in GetFileContentRef (closes#7)
- Add go vet to release workflow (closes#13)
Renamed local url variable to reqURL to avoid shadowing net/url package.
- Overall context timeout now derived from LLM timeout + 1 minute
(no longer hardcoded 3min that could conflict with longer LLM timeouts)
- Clarify concurrency docs: With* methods are setup-only, not concurrent
- Add ctx.Err() checks in fetchFileContext and fetchPatterns loops
(break early on cancellation instead of making unnecessary requests)
New flag: --llm-timeout / LLM_TIMEOUT (seconds, default 300)
New builder: llmClient.WithTimeout(duration)
Composite action: new timeout input
Keeps 5 minutes as the sensible default but allows tuning for
larger repos or slower models.
REVIEW.md findings 1-4, 14:
- All Gitea client methods now accept context.Context as first param
- All LLM client methods now accept context.Context as first param
- Use http.NewRequestWithContext for cancellation/timeout support
- Main uses 3-minute timeout context for all operations
- Unexport Client struct fields (baseURL, token, apiKey, etc.)
- Use bytes.NewReader instead of strings.NewReader(string(...))
patterns-repo now accepts a comma-separated list of repos:
PATTERNS_REPO="rodin/elixir-patterns,rodin/phoenix-conventions"
patterns-files accepts files AND directories:
PATTERNS_FILES="README.md,docs/"
When a path is a directory, all files within it are fetched
recursively via the Gitea contents API. Only .md, .txt, .yml,
and .yaml files are included as pattern content.
New API methods:
- ListContents: list files/dirs at a path via contents API
- GetAllFilesInPath: recursively fetch all file contents
This allows a single review action to pull idioms from multiple
pattern repos (e.g. elixir-patterns + phoenix-conventions) and
include entire directories of documentation as review criteria.
Major improvements to review quality:
1. Full file context: fetch complete content of all modified files from
the PR branch and include as reference. This eliminates false-positive
"missing import" findings since the model sees the entire file.
2. Patterns repo: new --patterns-repo / PATTERNS_REPO flag fetches
language idiom files from a separate Gitea repo (e.g. rodin/elixir-patterns)
and includes them as review criteria.
3. Multi-file patterns: --patterns-files / PATTERNS_FILES accepts
comma-separated file paths to fetch from the patterns repo.
New API methods:
- GetPullRequestFiles: list changed files in a PR
- GetFileContentRef: fetch file content from a specific branch/ref
Prompt changes:
- BuildSystemPrompt now accepts (conventions, patterns)
- BuildUserPrompt now accepts fileContext parameter
- File context displayed before diff for model reference
- Patterns presented as "review criteria" in system prompt
Composite action updated with patterns-repo and patterns-files inputs.
- Add temperature range validation (must be 0-2, fatal on invalid)
- release.yml: use python3 for robust JSON parsing instead of sed
- Composite action: add header comment confirming Gitea Actions compat
- All findings from review #385 addressed
- install.sh: verify SHA-256 checksum before installing binary
- install.sh: fallback to ~/.local/bin if /usr/local/bin not writable
- install.sh: use sed instead of grep for POSIX-safe JSON parsing
- release.yml: remove jq dependency, parse release ID with sed
- llm: make temperature configurable via --llm-temperature / LLM_TEMPERATURE
- llm: add WithTemperature builder method on Client
- llm: omit temperature from request when zero (uses server default)

- Injects version via -ldflags
- Creates Gitea release with binary assets + checksums
- install.sh: curl-pipe-bash installer from latest release
