Summary

Scaffolds scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh with sc_description_missing, closing the Phase 1 story of epic #1200 (spam-pr-guard). The function replaces the naive keyword grep that let an unfilled PR template score 0/5 missing — the regression that let petry-projects/.github-private#1976 through automation (an empty template whose own headings and HTML comments contain the five section keywords problem|risk|test-plan|rollback|monitoring).

Resolves #1202.

What it does

  • Strips <!-- ... --> HTML comments (including multi-line) and markdown ATX heading lines from the body before deciding whether real body text sits under each of the five canonical sections.
  • A section counts as present iff a heading matches one of the five keyword patterns AND at least one non-heading, non-comment, non-blank line of body text follows it before the next heading.
  • Heading matching anchors the keyword at a word start but tolerates trailing letters, so plurals and variants like Rollback Plan, Risks and Mitigations, and Test plan / verification still match. Prose containing problematic under some other heading does NOT drag the Problem section into "present" because keyword matching never runs on body text.
  • Fail-closed: a hard stdin read failure returns non-zero so the caller (Phase 2's scripts/spam-pr-score.sh) can escalate to a human rather than scoring the PR "not spam".

Why this file didn't already exist

The Phase 1 story (#1202) was drafted assuming scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh already lived in the repo. It did not — this PR scaffolds the lib, the bats harness, the fixtures directory, and the CI workflow in one go so stories #1203 (scorer), #1204 (DRY_RUN workflow), and #1207 (stale backstop) can proceed.

Scope

File Purpose
scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh New sourceable lib with sc_description_missing plus the shared signal contract comment
tests/test_safety_checks.bats 11 cases: #1976 fixture, filled counterfactual, 2-of-5, empty, heading-only, comment-only, multi-line comment, non-section heading echo, prefix false positive, heading variants, shellcheck
tests/fixtures/safety-checks/pr-1976-unfilled-template.md Regression anchor fixture (asserts 5 missing)
tests/fixtures/safety-checks/filled-description.md Counterfactual fixture (asserts 0 missing)
tests/fixtures/safety-checks/partial-two-of-five.md Intermediate case (asserts 3 missing)
.github/workflows/safety-checks-tests.yml Path-filtered bats runner mirroring agents-md-rules-tests.yml; pinned actions/checkout@v7.0.1, contents: read

Test plan

  • shellcheck --shell=bash scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh — clean
  • bats --print-output-on-failure tests/test_safety_checks.bats — 11/11 pass
  • YAML syntax validation on the new workflow
  • CI (Safety Checks Tests + ci.yml ShellCheck job) green on this PR

Rollback

Revert this commit. No schema change, no state migration; the lib has no production callers yet (Phase 2's scorer is the first consumer).

Monitoring

Not applicable — pure library code. The bats workflow is the ongoing regression anchor; a future regression on the #1976 fixture lights up as a red check.


Part of epic #1200. Unblocks #1203, #1204, #1207.

…cription_missing

Adds scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh with sc_description_missing, which replaces
the naive keyword grep that let an unfilled PR template score 0/5 missing
(the combsmith/.github-private#1976 regression that motivated epic #1200).

The function strips HTML comments (including multi-line) and markdown heading
lines before deciding whether real body text sits under each of the five
canonical sections (problem, risk, test-plan, rollback, monitoring). Heading
keyword matching uses a word-start anchor so prose containing "problematic"
does not satisfy the Problem section, while heading variants like
"Rollback Plan", "Risks and Mitigations", and "Test plan / verification"
still match.

Also adds:
- tests/test_safety_checks.bats — 11 cases covering the #1976 fixture, a
  filled-description counterfactual, 2-of-5 and empty bodies, heading-only
  and comment-only sections, multi-line comments, non-section heading
  echoes, prefix false positives, heading variants, and shellcheck.
- tests/fixtures/safety-checks/{pr-1976-unfilled-template,filled-description,partial-two-of-five}.md
- .github/workflows/safety-checks-tests.yml — path-filtered bats runner
  mirroring agents-md-rules-tests.yml, with pinned actions/checkout@v7.0.1
  and read-only contents permission.

Builds the Phase 1 foundation that stories #1203 (deterministic scorer),
#1204 (DRY_RUN workflow), and #1207 (stale backstop + reporting) all build
on. Phase 1's story (#1202) assumed this lib already existed; it did not,
so this PR scaffolds it per the dev decision captured in the parent issue
discussion.

The PR-body fixtures introduced by the Phase 1 safety-checks lib (filled,
unfilled-template, 2-of-5) are shaped like real PR descriptions, which
start at ## (PR bodies have no H1 title). Running MD041 against them
fails lint by design, exactly like the agents-md fixtures above them.
Extends the existing ignores list.

Fixed the failing Lint check (Tier 1 blocker).

What the check verifies: Lint runs markdownlint-cli2 over **/*.md to enforce that Markdown files are well-formed docs — including MD041 (first line must be a top-level H1). It was failing on the three new tests/fixtures/safety-checks/*.md files.

Why this diff makes that true (root cause, not check-silencing): those three files are not docs — they are verbatim PR-description bodies fed as stdin to sc_description_missing by tests/test_safety_checks.bats. A real PR body legitimately starts with an HTML comment or ## Problem and has no H1, so MD041 does not apply to them; adding an H1 would corrupt the test input and change what the fixtures assert (e.g. the #1976 regression anchor). The fix adds tests/fixtures/safety-checks/** to the ignores list in .markdownlint-cli2.yaml, mirroring the existing tests/fixtures/agents-md/** exclusion for the same reason (deliberately non-doc fixtures). This removes the files from the lint scope at the root cause rather than relaxing any rule or editing the fixtures.

Verified locally: markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md" → 0 issues; shellcheck clean; bats tests/test_safety_checks.bats → 11/11 pass.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new Bash library scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh with the sc_description_missing function to count missing sections in PR descriptions, along with comprehensive BATS tests and Markdown fixtures. The review feedback focuses on optimizing and improving the Bash implementation: specifically, replacing inefficient subshell calls (printf and tr) with native parameter expansion for lowercase conversion, refining the ATX heading regex to strictly allow at most three leading spaces, and simplifying the whitespace trimming logic using regex matches stored in variables.

Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)

Summary

Adds a new scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh (stdin-based sc_description_missing), a bats suite, three fixtures, a new path-filtered workflow and a markdownlint ignore to petry-projects/.github. The code itself is clean (shellcheck/bats green, checkout SHA verified as v7.0.1, contents: read, persist-credentials: false). But it doesn't do what issue #1202 asks. The function the issue targets already exists in petry-projects/.github-private, and that function is still unfixed. Triage cleared this as low risk; this confirmation review does not agree it can be approved.

Linked issue analysis

#1202 is not addressed. The PR says Resolves #1202, so merging it would wrongly auto-close the issue.

  • [Phase 1] Fix the description-quality check so an unfilled template is not read as complete #1202's Dev Notes describe an implementation that already exists: sc_description_missing with the keys[]/pats[] arrays, called as sc_description_missing "$meta" and printing N|csv, plus the existing tests/test_safety_checks.bats cases at lines ~348–368 that build a meta JSON with a .body field. All of that lives in petry-projects/.github-private (scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh:198, tests/test_safety_checks.bats:350-364). It is not in petry-projects/.github. The PR description's claim that "the lib did not exist" is true only for this repo.
  • The issue says explicitly: "Fix in place … Reuse the existing keys/pats arrays — do not add a parallel matcher" and "Edit is confined to one function … no new script or workflow." This PR adds a parallel matcher, a new script and a new workflow.
  • The new function's contract doesn't match the real callers. It reads the body from stdin and prints a bare integer. The real function takes meta JSON as $1 and prints <count>|<csv>, and scripts/lib/dev-lead-pr-body.sh:185 and safety-checks.sh:492 in .github-private depend on that shape. The new one can't be dropped in as a replacement.
  • The #1976 regression (the naive grep over the raw body, comments and headings included) is therefore still live in the production triage path.

Findings

  1. [Blocking] Wrong repository / parallel implementation (issue scope). The fix belongs in petry-projects/.github-private:scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh sc_description_missing(): strip comments and headings in place, keep the $1 meta-JSON input and the N|csv output, and extend the existing bats cases. This PR forks the logic into petry-projects/.github with an incompatible contract, so it leaves the real bug unfixed and adds a second copy that will drift. A human should decide whether to close this PR and redo the work in .github-private, or deliberately re-scope it, for example as the Phase 2 scorer's home with a matching contract. Either way, change Resolves #1202 to Refs #1202 so merging doesn't close the issue.
  2. [Non-blocking] Narrower section patterns than the existing ones. The existing pats[] accept synonyms such as background|motivation|context|summary, testing|verif, revert|back ?out and observ|metric|alert|dashboard. The new patterns only match the literal keywords, so ordinary bodies that use "Summary" or "Testing" headings would score as missing. This PR's own body (Summary / Scope / Test plan / Rollback / Monitoring) scores 2 missing, because it has no Problem or Risk heading. The issue said to reuse the existing arrays.
  3. [Non-blocking] Test name contradicts its assertion. In tests/test_safety_checks.bats, the case "a keyword inside a non-section heading does NOT satisfy that section" has a leading comment saying Problem "is still missing", but it asserts 0 (Problem present), with a second comment saying the H1 does open the section. Rename it, or fix the comment, so the test documents the real behaviour.
  4. [Non-blocking] Markdown edge cases. A #-prefixed line inside a fenced code block (for example a shell comment # rollback steps) is treated as an ATX heading and can open or close sections incorrectly. Bold pseudo-headings (**Problem:** …), which PR bodies use a lot, are never recognised. Worth covering when this is ported.
  5. Secret-scan MCP tool (run_secret_scanning) isn't available in this run, so it was skipped. Gitleaks CI passed.

CI status

Not fully green yet. Passing: Lint, ShellCheck, Safety Checks Tests (the new bats suite), SonarCloud (quality gate passed), gitleaks, Agent Security Scan, AgentShield, CodeQL (python), and the other bats suites. Still running: CodeQL Analyze (actions) (which matters because this PR adds a workflow), cubic, and CodeRabbit. Cancelled: the three dev-lead / * jobs, superseded by a concurrency cancel. CodeQL's summary check is NEUTRAL.

…issing

Three changes in response to the gemini-code-assist review on PR #1218:

- Lowercase conversion now uses bash parameter expansion (${stripped,,})
  instead of forking printf | tr per heading line — same result, no
  per-line subshell.
- The ATX-heading detector is pulled into a named regex and tightened to
  at most three leading spaces per CommonMark; four-or-more-space lines
  are indented code blocks and must not register as headings. New bats
  case anchors the rule with an indented '# problem' that still leaves
  the Problem section missing.
- The body-text non-whitespace check uses a stored regex ([^[:space:]])
  via =~, replacing the double parameter-expansion trim. Simpler and
  shellcheck-clean.

Carries the medium-priority fix plus two low-priority nits into one
push rather than three, per the PR-driver rule for optional findings.

Standing down pending the author's call.

The Review Agent's blocking finding is credible and I can't resolve it from this session: my scope is limited to petry-projects/.github, so I had no visibility into the existing scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh::sc_description_missing in petry-projects/.github-private (nor its keys[]/pats[] arrays, its $1-meta-JSON / N|csv contract, or the .github-private:dev-lead-pr-body.sh:185 and safety-checks.sh:492 callers). My "the lib did not exist" claim was true only for this repo and incorrect for the real codepath.

What I will NOT do without a human decision:

  • push more commits onto this PR;
  • edit this PR's title/body or merge keywords;
  • change auto-merge state (currently squash, enabled before this review landed).

Three paths I can take once the author decides, listed in the Review Agent's order of preference:

  1. Close this PR, redo the fix in .github-private. Needs a new session scoped to .github-private and this one archived. The real sc_description_missing is edited in place; its keys[]/pats[] are extended rather than replaced; the existing bats cases at lines ~348–368 absorb the #1976 fixture; no new script/workflow.
  2. Re-scope this PR as the Phase 2 scorer's home ([Phase 2] Deterministic spam-PR scoring script and config #1203). The current lib stays but changes name/contract: scripts/spam-pr-score.sh or similar, imported by nobody in .github-private, with its own stdin/integer surface made explicit as a new signal rather than a replacement for the existing one. The PR body loses Resolves #1202 (→ Refs #1200), the fixture names move under tests/fixtures/spam-pr-score/, and the title changes.
  3. Something else — e.g. keep the lib here only as a staging ground, close without merging.

Graphite's test-name/assertion inconsistency and the Review Agent's finding #2 (narrower patterns than the real ones) and #3 (test name contradicts assertion) are real but downstream of this call: if the PR closes they're moot; if it re-scopes, I'll fold them into the rewrite.

Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)

Summary

Re-review at 5bf8a81. The one new commit since the cycle-1 review (5ac4215) only adopts gemini-code-assist's code nits: bash ${var,,} lowercasing, an ATX heading regex capped at 3 leading spaces plus a bats case for it, and a regex non-space check. Those changes are fine, and shellcheck and bats are green. The cycle-1 blocking finding is not addressed. This PR still builds a separate, incompatible sc_description_missing in petry-projects/.github. The real function lives in petry-projects/.github-private and is still unfixed. The PR body still says Resolves #1202. The author agent has stood down and is waiting for a human decision (close and redo in .github-private, or re-scope as the #1203 scorer). This needs a human.

Linked issue analysis

#1202 is still not addressed. AC1 names sc_description_missing in scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh, and AC4 requires that "the existing description-quality cases in tests/test_safety_checks.bats still pass". Both refer to code that exists only in petry-projects/.github-private. I re-checked: scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh:198 defines sc_description_missing() (meta JSON in $1, prints N|csv). Its callers are scripts/lib/dev-lead-pr-body.sh:185 and safety-checks.sh:492, and the existing cases are at tests/test_safety_checks.bats:350-364. This PR's stdin→integer function can't replace it, and the #1976 naive-grep regression is still live in production triage. Resolves #1202 is still in the body, so merging would wrongly close the issue.

Findings

Prior findings (cycle 1 @ 5ac4215):

  1. [Blocking, carried forward] Wrong repository / parallel implementation. Not resolved. 5bf8a81 doesn't touch scope. The author's stand-down comment agrees the finding is valid and won't push more until a human picks a path: (a) close this PR and redo the fix in place in .github-private, or (b) re-scope this PR as a new signal for [Phase 2] Deterministic spam-PR scoring script and config #1203 with its own name and contract, and change Resolves #1202 to Refs #1202/Refs #1200. Note: auto-merge (squash) is reportedly enabled on this PR. A human should consider turning it off until this is decided.
  2. [Non-blocking, carried forward] Section patterns are narrower than the existing pats[]. Not resolved. The existing pats[] accept synonyms like summary/background, testing/verif, revert and observ/metric; these patterns don't.
  3. [Non-blocking, carried forward] Test name contradicts its assertion. Not resolved. In tests/test_safety_checks.bats (~line 89–97), the test is titled 'a keyword inside a non-section heading does NOT satisfy that section' and says Problem 'is still missing', but it asserts 0. Graphite's review thread on this line is still unresolved.
  4. [Non-blocking, carried forward] Markdown edge cases. Not resolved. # lines inside fenced code blocks are still treated as headings, and bold pseudo-headings are not recognised.

New since prior review: No new issues. The 3 gemini threads the new commit addresses are resolved.

Secret scan: The run_secret_scanning MCP tool isn't available in this run, so it was skipped. Gitleaks CI passed.

CI status

Nearly all checks are green: Lint, ShellCheck, Validate PR-safety signal helpers (new bats suite), bats, CodeQL (actions and python), SonarCloud (quality gate passed), gitleaks, Agent Security Scan, AgentShield and dependency-audit. Still running: dev-lead / dispatch and cubic. Several dev-lead / * runs were cancelled by concurrency supersession. Merge state: BLOCKED (review required).

Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)

Summary

Re-check at 5bf8a81, the same SHA as the cycle-2 review. Nothing has changed since then. The new lib, bats suite, fixtures and workflow are clean (shellcheck and bats are green, checkout is pinned by SHA, contents: read, persist-credentials: false). But the PR still does not deliver issue #1202. It adds a second, incompatible sc_description_missing to petry-projects/.github. The real function lives in petry-projects/.github-private/scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh:198 and is still unfixed. The author agent has stood down and is waiting for a human decision. Triage cleared this PR as low risk; this confirmation review does not agree.

Linked issue analysis

#1202 is not addressed. This PR says Resolves #1202, so merging it would wrongly auto-close the issue. The issue explicitly asks to:

  • "Fix in place" in the existing sc_description_missing.
  • "Reuse the existing keys/pats arrays — do not add a parallel matcher."
  • Keep the existing description-quality bats cases (around lines 348–368) passing (AC 4).
  • Confine the change to "one function … no new script or workflow".

That function exists today in .github-private:

  • scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh:198 defines it. It takes a $1 meta-JSON argument and prints N|csv output.
  • scripts/lib/dev-lead-pr-body.sh:185 and safety-checks.sh:492 call it.
  • tests/test_safety_checks.bats:350-364 and tests/test_dev_lead_pr_body.bats test it.

This PR's version reads stdin and prints a bare integer. That contract does not fit any existing caller. The production regression from #1976 is still live.

Findings

Blocking

  1. Wrong repo, parallel implementation (carried forward from cycles 1–2, unresolved). The PR scaffolds a new scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh plus a workflow in .github. The issue requires fixing the existing function in place in .github-private. The stdin → integer contract differs from the real $1 meta-JSON → N|csv contract. A human must pick one of these:
  2. Unresolved review threads (4):
    • graphite and cubic, tests/test_safety_checks.bats:95-96: the test name says a keyword in a non-section heading does NOT satisfy the section, but the test asserts 0 because the H1 does open Problem.
    • cubic P2, scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh:125: break after the first matching pattern means a heading like ## Problem / Risk opens only Problem, so Risk is falsely counted missing.
    • cubic P3, scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh:39: test-plan requires the literal word "plan", so ## Testing and ## How to test never match. This contradicts the comment above the array.

Non-blocking (to carry into whichever implementation lands)

  • Fenced code blocks (```) are not tracked, so a # problem line inside a fence registers as a heading. Only indented code blocks are excluded.
  • The problematic test comment says "whole-word boundary", but the pattern deliberately allows trailing letters, so a heading ## Problematic would match. The comment overstates the guarantee.

No secret-scanning MCP tool was available in this session; the gitleaks CI check passed.

CI status

All completed required checks pass: Lint, ShellCheck, bats, Validate PR-safety signal helpers, CodeQL, SonarCloud, gitleaks, AgentShield. cubic · AI code reviewer is still IN_PROGRESS. Several dev-lead dispatch, resume and ci-relay runs show as CANCELLED or SKIPPED; that is concurrency churn, not failures. Merge state is BLOCKED (REVIEW_REQUIRED).

Count a fenced block as content only when it contains a non-blank line.

The fence-open branch marks every open section found when the opening fence appears (Lines 159-164). The function does not check the fence body first. If the body is ## Test Plan\n```bash\n```\n, the Test Plan section counts as present, but the contributor wrote nothing.

PR templates often include an empty code fence as a placeholder, such as a "steps to reproduce" block. An unfilled template with such a fence then scores the section as filled. This is the false "complete" result that sc_description_missing exists to prevent, as in #1976.

Fix: do not mark sections found when the fence opens. Inside the fence, mark the open sections found on the first non-blank line. current cannot change inside a fence, so this change is local. Add a regression test for ## Problem\n```\n```\n that expects Problem to be missing.

Remove the per-line command substitution from the fence-open check.

sc_description_missing can create one command-substitution process for every input line. A 65,536-character line-heavy body can therefore create roughly 65,000 processes and add substantial latency. The inline checks preserve the current fence-opening behavior.

L1730: ## 4.5 Fenced code blocks
L1731: 
L1732: A 【154†code fence】 is a sequence of at least three consecutive backtick characters (```) or tildes (`~`). (Tildes and backticks cannot be mixed.) A 【97†fenced code block】 begins with a code fence, preceded by up to three spaces of indentation.
L1733: The line with the opening code fence may optionally contain some text following the code fence; this is trimmed of leading and trailing spaces or tabs and called the 【82†info string】. If the 【82†info string】 comes after a backtick fence, it may not contain any backtick characters. (The reason for this restriction is that otherwise some inline code would be incorrectly interpreted as the beginning of a fenced code block.)
L1734: The content of the code block consists of all subsequent lines, until a closing 【154†code fence】 of the same type as the code block began with (backticks or tildes), and with at least as many backticks or tildes as the opening code fence. If the leading code fence is preceded by N spaces of indentation, then up to N spaces of indentation are removed from each line of the content (if present). (If a content line is not indented, it is preserved unchanged.
L1736: The closing code fence may be preceded by up to three spaces of indentation, and may be followed only by spaces or tabs, which are ignored. If the end of the containing block (or document) is reached and no closing code fence has been found, the code block contains all of the lines after the opening code fence until the end of the containing block (or document). (An alternative spec would require backtracking in the event that a closing code fence is not found.
L1738: A fenced code block may interrupt a paragraph, and does not require a blank line either before or after.
L1739: 
L1740: The content of a code fence is treated as literal text, not parsed as inlines. The first word of the 【82†info string】 is typically used to specify the language of the code sample, and rendered in the `class` attribute of the `code` tag. However, this spec does not mandate any particular treatment of the 【82†info string】.

Reject backticks in backtick-fence info strings.

A line such as ```lang`bad is not a CommonMark fenced-code-block opener. _sc_fence_open_char accepts it, and sc_description_missing skips every following line as fenced content through EOF. This reports all five populated sections as missing instead of 0.

Suggested fix
-  local backtick_open_regex='^ {0,3}`{3,}'
+  local backtick_open_regex='^ {0,3}`{3,}[^`]*$'

Review comment at @scripts/lib/safety-checks.sh around lines 217 - 237:
Update _sc_fence_open_char so backtick-fence opening lines are accepted only
when their trailing info string contains no backticks, while preserving the
existing three-or-more-backticks and indentation rules; leave tilde-fence
detection unchanged.
