Replace the static comment-pending + comment-results two-job pattern
with a live-updating comment system that polls the GitHub Actions API
every 15s, re-assembles the review comment from whatever results are
available, and upserts it via the <!-- hermes-ci-review-bot --> marker.
The comment updates in real time as each job finishes — no waiting for
the full pipeline.
Every CI job that wants to appear in the review comment emits a
review_status output — a JSON array of objects, each with a source
and a results array:
[
{
"source": "review-label-gate",
"results": [
{"kind": "action_required", "title": "...", "summary": "...",
"how_to_fix": "..."},
{"kind": "info", "title": "...", "summary": "..."}
]
},
{
"source": "ci timing",
"results": [
{"kind": "warning", "title": "CI timings", "summary": "...",
"detail": "...", "link": "..."}
]
}
]
One job can emit multiple results of different kinds. The source field
is used to exclude the corresponding job from the synthesized error
list (case-insensitive, hyphen-normalized matching against GitHub
Actions job display names).
| job | source | kind (on failure) | section |
|----------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------|
| review-labels | review label gate | action_required / info | Action required |
| lockfile-diff | lockfile-diff | action_required | Action required |
| ci-timings | ci timing | warning / info | Warnings |
| supply-chain scan | supply chain | error / (none) | Job failures |
| supply-chain dep-bounds | supply chain | action_required / (none) | Action required |
| osv-scanner | osv scan | warning / (none) | Warnings |
| uv-lockfile-check | uv.lock check | action_required / (none) | Action required |
| history-check | unrelated histories | action_required | Action required |
| contributor-check | contributor attribution | action_required | Action required |
Jobs that find nothing emit [] (empty array) — no noise info items.
A single comment-live job polls the GitHub Actions API every 15s,
classifies jobs into (completed, pending), assembles the comment, and
upserts it. Merges review_status outputs from all needs jobs via
toJSON(needs.*.outputs.review_status), and downloads the ci-timings
artifact when it becomes available. Shows commit SHA + message below
the header.
The assembler has ZERO job-specific knowledge. It just:
1. collect_from_statuses() — flattens all nested status objects into ReviewItems
2. collect_failed_jobs() — synthesizes errors for failed jobs with no declared status
3. _attach_job_urls() — fills in per-job log links for ALL items
4. render_comment() — groups by severity, renders with group headers
Each item shows links inline next to the title: View report (job-emitted
URL) and View job (auto-attached logs link). Each info item is its own
collapsible <details> block.

git diff on a lockfile is unreadable: npm reorders entries, rewrites
integrity hashes, and moves packages between nesting levels, so a
one-line package.json bump produces a thousand-line textual diff.
scripts/ci/lockfile_diff.py instead parses the `packages` map out of
both versions of every tracked package-lock.json (via `git show`),
reduces each to {install path: version}, and set-diffs the maps —
reorder/hash churn vanishes, leaving only actual version movement
(added / removed / updated, with nested dedup copies tracked
separately).
The lockfile-diff workflow posts the result as a Markdown table in a
PR comment gated behind a hidden marker: subsequent pushes PATCH the
existing comment instead of stacking new ones, and a push that reverts
all lockfile changes updates the comment to say so. Advisory only —
never fails on findings; fork PRs (read-only token) degrade to a
warning.
Wired through the ci.yml orchestrator with a new npm_lock lane in
classify_changes.py (fails open on .github/ changes per the existing
contract).
