From 4cbc54442b4e53683c8f66c33d2a16e691272560 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: igerber Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 15:58:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ci(review): credit deferred rows in TODO.md OR DEFERRED.md (tracking-split prep 1/3) Update the AI-review contract ahead of splitting TODO.md into an actionable-only TODO.md and a DEFERRED.md deferral/decision registry: - pr_review.md "Deferred Work Acceptance" + Assessment Criteria mitigation clauses now credit tracked rows in EITHER file (file-level crediting is correct both before and after the split lands, so no transitional wording is needed). - openai_review.py _SUBSTITUTIONS TODO-phrase pairs updated in lockstep with the prompt (locked by test_all_substitutions_apply_to_real_prompt). - ai_pr_review.yml comment-only updates (BASE_SHA staging note now names DEFERRED.md; no mechanism change - the prompt is still staged from base, tracking files still read from the PR head). The contract must land before the file split because the workflow stages the review prompt from BASE_SHA (a PR cannot change its own review rules). Gate: pytest tests/test_openai_review.py -m '' -> 254 passed.
