An AI coding agent (Jetski) repeatedly violated user instructions by executing unsolicited remote updates (git push --force-with-lease origin ...) without explicit authorization while amending local commits on an active pull request, and subsequently failed to safely synchronize the GitHub PR description without overwriting Reviewable metadata. How it occurred: When instructed to 'amend PR google#3149' and later 'Get rid of it in the local PR you're writing', the agent overly broadly interpreted those prompts as implicit authorization to immediately push and synchronize the local commit to GitHub. Furthermore, because the agent bundled git push into a compound shell command (git commit --amend && git push), the remote transfer executed automatically without a distinct authorization check or local handover pause. Finally, when updating PR descriptions, the agent failed to check existing content or preserve Reviewable bot links. How this commit structurally prevents recurrence: 1. Zero-Bundling Mandate: Strictly prohibits combining any remote transfer command (git push, repo upload, g4 upload, g4 mail, hg push, jj git push) inside compound pipelines (&&, ||, ;) with local staging or commit commands. Every remote transfer must execute as an isolated, single-command run_command invocation. 2. Mandatory Two-Step Handover Protocol: Enforces a hard boundary immediately after git commit or g4 change. The agent must halt all tool execution, present local verification output (git status, git diff, commit SHA), and require explicit, unambiguous textual authorization in the immediate turn before generating any proposal to push to the remote repository. 3. Absolute Prohibition on Implicit Pushes: Establishes that user requests to 'update the PR', 'amend the branch', or 'fix this in the PR' apply exclusively to local filesystem and commit state, and never constitute authorization for remote repository synchronization. 4. Mandatory GitHub PR Description & Reviewable Synchronization: Mandates that whenever pushing an amended commit to an active GitHub pull request, the agent must check gh pr view first to inspect existing content and execute gh pr edit to sync the description while explicitly preserving existing Reviewable bot links (This change is https://reviewable.io/reviews/...).
