Summary

  • keep the agent validator explicitly scoped to the PR-review event contract
  • tolerate only recognizable GitHub comment-location failures
  • reject unrelated 422/comment failures with regression coverage

Validation

  • focused PR review regression tests pass
  • shell syntax and git diff checks pass

This intentionally does not generalize the validator to other workflow archetypes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Review validation now recognizes certain comment-placement and comment-delivery failures as recoverable, allowing otherwise completed review runs to be accepted.
    • Other tool failures continue to be treated as invalid, preserving validation safeguards.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for comment delivery failures and unrelated comment-formatting errors to verify the updated validation behavior.

Walkthrough

The review-output validator now accepts defined comment-location failures as recoverable. Integration tests cover HTTP 422 comment-delivery failures and comment-formatting failures.

Changes

Comment failure handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recoverable comment validation
scripts/review/validate-agent-output.sh, test/pr_review_test.go
The validator recognizes invalid or unresolvable comment locations and matching HTTP 422 responses as recoverable exit-1 results. Integration scenarios emit these failures and verify subsequent completion events.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fe63d

An unrelated failed tool call can be treated as recoverable and let a failed review workflow complete, so the recovery rule should be narrowed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict the 422 alternative to comment-delivery tool events.

The jq predicate checks only exit code and output text. It does not check the tool identity. A tool_use event with exit 1 and output HTTP 422: line is invalid can pass when the review command also emits its required text and step_finish events. Add unrelated-422-line with those events and require the 422 alternative to include comment-specific evidence.
