From f77d24c5438edd381aab9481494788c15467e326 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian O'Kelley Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 15:43:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ci: fix Argus PR review crashing before it reads the diff Argus has not posted a review since 2026-05-28. `claude_args` passed `--output-format json`, which claude-code-action forwards verbatim to the `claude` CLI. The action already runs the CLI with `--input-format stream-json --output-format stream-json`, so the CLI rejected the conflicting pair ("--input-format=stream-json requires output-format=stream-json") and exited 1 about 0.3s in, before reading the diff. The step is `continue-on-error`, so the job still reported success and a silent no-review looked like a pass. Reproduced locally against both the pinned Claude Code 2.1.150 and current 2.1.300: with `--output-format json` the CLI exits 1 immediately; without it, the same argument set starts normally. - drop `--output-format json`; `--json-schema` alone populates structured_output - repin anthropics/claude-code-action 787c5a0c (2026-05-23) to 374f254f (v1.0.251) - hoist the model into `env.ARGUS_MODEL` (claude-opus-5-5, up from the generation-old claude-opus-4-7) and verify it against the Anthropic Models API before the review runs, so a retired model or revoked key fails loudly - deny WebFetch/WebSearch and drop the stale `Replace` / `NotebookEditCell` tool names from `--disallowedTools` in favour of the current `NotebookEdit` - fail the job when no review was posted, instead of only warning - add scripts/check-ai-review-workflow.cjs and a CI job that enforces all of the above, so the regression cannot come back unnoticed Closes #41 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) --- .changeset/fix-argus-review-crash.md | 8 + .github/workflows/ai-review.yml | 70 +++++++- .../workflows/validate-ai-review-config.yml | 31 ++++ scripts/check-ai-review-workflow.cjs | 167 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 270 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .changeset/fix-argus-review-crash.md create mode 100644 .github/workflows/validate-ai-review-config.yml create mode 100644 scripts/check-ai-review-workflow.cjs diff --git a/.changeset/fix-argus-review-crash.md b/.changeset/fix-argus-review-crash.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2725d24 --- /dev/null +++ b/.changeset/fix-argus-review-crash.md @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +--- +--- + +ci: fix the Argus AI PR review crashing before it read the diff, and fail the +job when no review is posted. + +Empty changeset because this only affects repository automation, not the +published Java SDK artifacts. diff --git a/.github/workflows/ai-review.yml b/.github/workflows/ai-review.yml index 82b95c3..3360bf8 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/ai-review.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/ai-review.yml @@ -25,6 +25,12 @@ on: - ready_for_review - synchronize +env: + # Single source of truth for the review model.

Gate correctness: - the self-modification gate now also covers scripts/check-ai-review-workflow.cjs and .github/workflows/validate-ai-review-config.yml; without that a PR could delete the guard and have Argus approve its own defanging - the gate fails closed: `gh pr diff` 406s on very large diffs, and an undetermined answer was reading as "safe to review" - `always()` -> `${{ !cancelled() }}` on the four terminal steps, so a superseded push no longer mints an App token, posts a "review could not complete" notice, and reds a run nobody failed - the failure notice carries a marker and is updated in place instead of piling up one comment per `synchronize` - `concurrency: argus-` with cancel-in-progress, which is what makes the `!cancelled()` conditions meaningful Hardening: - the model check now hard-fails only on 401/404 and warns on 403/000, so a transport blip or a key scoped away from /v1/models cannot block every PR - the API key goes to curl on stdin (`-H @-`) instead of argv - settings.permissions.deny mirrors --disallowedTools; subagents launched via Task inherit the permission rules, not the CLI flag - the generated prompt now fences `.argus/*` as untrusted PR-author content Validator additions, each mutation-tested: - the two deny layers must agree, and Bash/Edit/Write/WebFetch/WebSearch must stay denied - the self-mod gate must match every guarded path and must fail closed - the verify step must read the reviews API and be able to emit review_posted=false (previously `if false` passed validation) - the prompt must fence its inputs as untrusted - `!cancelled()` accepted alongside `always()` on the gate The validator workflow also drops its `paths:` filter — a path-filtered job never reports on unrelated PRs, which makes it unusable as a required check.

It read all three `.argus` files, delegated to the code-reviewer and security-reviewer subagents, and returned schema-valid structured output in 9 turns — the first time this path has worked since 2026-05-28. Its findings are applied here. Self-modification gate: - also guards `.claude/agents/`, `.agents/roles/` and `.github/CODEOWNERS`. Argus loads all of these from the base SHA, so a PR that rewrites a subagent is judged by the old one; approve it and every later PR is judged by the weakened one — the same argument that already guards the workflow - filename patterns are anchored with `$`; they were prefix matches - the paused notice no longer claims the PR edited `ai-review.yml`, which was wrong for the fail-closed branch and listed two of the now six paths Credential exposure through the published review: - the post step refuses bodies containing credential-shaped content. The review is published on a public PR, where Actions log masking does not apply, so a successful injection would otherwise have a publication channel - `Read` is denied on /proc, /etc, /root, $RUNNER_TEMP and the runner's dot directories. Verified against the real CLI: the rules parse, `Read` stays available for the workspace, and `/etc/hostname` comes back as a permission_denial Notices: - both notice steps paginate `listComments`; the marker could fall off page one on a long PR and produce duplicates - the stale "could not complete" notice is deleted once a later push is reviewed, instead of sitting next to the real review contradicting it Validator (each fix mutation-tested): - steps split on the list dash, not `- name:`/`- uses:`, so a step leading with `- id:` is no longer folded into its predecessor, and comment lines attach to the step below them. Directive assertions now run against the step with comments stripped — a `# if: !cancelled()` comment used to satisfy the gate check - the scan starts at the job's `steps:` key; `on.*.types` list items were being counted as steps - guarded paths are checked inside the `grep -E` pattern, not anywhere in the step text - the deny-list comparison runs both ways, ignoring path-scoped `Read(...)` rules that only exist on the settings side - the untrusted-input fence must be echoed into the prompt; `/untrusted/i` anywhere in the file used to pass - new: the post step must screen for credential-shaped bodies validate-ai-review-config.yml pins checkout by SHA and drops setup-node (ubuntu-latest ships Node 22). Its comment no longer implies it should become a required check: that would change D21's required-check set and needs a ROADMAP decision row first.
