Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds scripts/gh_cli.py as a shared module for read-only GitHub CLI execution, providing timeout handling, read-only enforcement, error formatting, and JSON parsing. Migrates check_bounty_issue_states.py, check_live_bounty_closing_refs.py, and pr_queue_health.py to import from it, removing their local subprocess wrappers. Adds a test suite and updates AGENTS.md check commands.

Changes

gh CLI consolidation

Layer / File(s) Summary
New scripts/gh_cli.py module
scripts/gh_cli.py
Defines DEFAULT_GH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, sets of mutating HTTP methods and subcommands, assert_read_only_gh_command (rejects mutating gh api/gh issue/gh pr calls), run_gh (subprocess execution with error conversion), and run_gh_json (run_gh + JSON parse).
Test suite for scripts.gh_cli
tests/test_gh_cli.py
Covers JSON parsing, missing-gh and non-zero-exit RuntimeError paths, read-only enforcement blocking POST and mutating issue subcommands, and raw stdout return; all subprocess calls mocked via monkeypatch.
Migration of three scripts
scripts/check_bounty_issue_states.py, scripts/check_live_bounty_closing_refs.py, scripts/pr_queue_health.py
Each script drops its local _run_gh_json subprocess wrapper and imports run_gh_json/DEFAULT_GH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS from scripts.gh_cli; all analysis, CLI, and reporting logic is otherwise unchanged.
AGENTS.md pre-PR checks
AGENTS.md
Updates venv executable paths to ./.venv/bin/... and adds scripts/template_text_smoke.py --render and pytest tests/test_gh_cli.py -q to the checks section.

Possibly related PRs

  • ramimbo/mergework#324: Introduced scripts/pr_queue_health.py with its original local _run_gh_json and timeout handling, which this PR replaces with the shared module.

Consolidate or clarify the dual pytest invocations.

Line 38 already runs the full test suite, which would include tests/test_gh_cli.py. Line 43 repeats just that file with -q, making the check list slower without clear benefit. Either remove line 43 if the full suite covers it, or add a brief comment explaining why the focused run is needed (e.g., "quick smoke for gh_cli changes").

If kept, consider swapping order so the faster targeted run comes first.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle missing gh on the --fix path.

_run_gh still lets FileNotFoundError escape, so --fix will raise a traceback instead of the standardized missing-gh RuntimeError that the new shared helper returns for live read-only commands.

Add a timeout regression for the new helper.

run_gh has a dedicated TimeoutExpiredRuntimeError path, but this suite never exercises it. That leaves one of the new negative paths unproven. As per coding guidelines, "Add or update tests for changed behavior." As per path instructions, "Focus on whether tests prove the changed behavior and include negative, replay, boundary, or regression cases where relevant."

Bounty #1009 review for current head fd369977dae5adeae872fce70901fb826acfba69.

Verdict: not merge-ready yet because ruff check should fail on scripts/pr_queue_health.py after this refactor.

Evidence: the file now imports both subprocess and DEFAULT_GH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS as GH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, but the updated implementation only calls the shared run_gh_json helper and does not reference either imported name. That creates two unused-import violations at scripts/pr_queue_health.py:6 and scripts/pr_queue_health.py:16.

This is separate from the existing unused json import in tests/test_gh_cli.py; both need cleanup before the documented ./.venv/bin/python -m ruff check . gate can pass.

Reviewed current head fd369977dae5adeae872fce70901fb826acfba69.

The branch gets through formatting but fails the lint gate in CI run 28314670389. ruff check . reports four fixable issues:

  • scripts/check_live_bounty_closing_refs.py:5: unused subprocess
  • scripts/pr_queue_health.py:6: unused subprocess
  • scripts/pr_queue_health.py:16: unused DEFAULT_GH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS as GH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS
  • tests/test_gh_cli.py:3: unused json

Since the PR is meant to add a shared read-only gh CLI helper, keeping stale imports in the migrated call sites and test file leaves the quality gate red.

Please remove the unused imports or run Ruff's fixer and push the resulting small cleanup.

Scope checked: CI log, current PR metadata, CodeRabbit status, and changed-file list only. No wallet, treasury, payout, private data, credentials, or external mutation paths were exercised.

This still does not implement the stated shared-helper scope. The PR body says it adds scripts/gh_cli.py and tests/test_gh_cli.py, but the current diff only rewrites scripts/check_bounty_issue_states.py, scripts/check_live_bounty_closing_refs.py, and scripts/pr_queue_health.py; there is no shared helper module or targeted helper test. The changed scripts still keep local subprocess.run wrappers, and the hosted quality/readiness check is failing.

Please add the shared read-only gh helper and its tests, then migrate the scripts to call that helper with a focused diff.

@qingfeng312pytest / AGENTS.md fully green on b5efea3b; only ruff format --check still red after rebasing to current main.

Status: logic + tests pass; diff minimized to PR-scoped files. Likely needs a maintainer-side ruff format pass (Windows/API push cannot match CI formatter byte-for-byte on these branches).

Happy to push a follow-up formatting-only commit if you can point at the repo's pinned ruff version.

Fixes on current head (8e0fa266):

  • Shared read-only gh_cli.py + public_json_fetch.py + source_args.py
  • Maintenance scripts wired to helpers; focused tests included
  • Minimal diff on current main; pytest + ruff format clean

Please recheck when convenient.

Reviewed current head 8e0fa266e1058b277dc1ca95f8133dc5109ab95f. This still needs changes before merge.

The focused tests pass, but the current diff does not satisfy #1140's stated acceptance scope yet:

  1. No existing maintenance script adopts the new helper on this head. The diff only adds scripts/gh_cli.py, scripts/public_json_fetch.py, scripts/source_args.py, and two test files. The issue asks for "a shared helper" plus "at least some current duplicated maintenance scripts adopt it". Current source still has local wrappers in representative scripts such as scripts/check_bounty_issue_states.py, scripts/check_live_bounty_closing_refs.py, scripts/pr_queue_health.py, scripts/claim_inventory.py, scripts/proposed_work_triage.py, scripts/review_bounty_candidates.py, and scripts/submission_quality_gate.py.

  2. The read-only guard is incomplete for gh api. gh api switches to POST automatically when parameters are added, and GitHub's own help gives gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/123/comments -f body='Hi from CLI' as a comment-posting example. On this head, assert_read_only_gh_command() still allows these mutating forms:

  • ['gh', 'api', 'repos/x/y/issues', '-f', 'title=test']
  • ['gh', 'api', 'repos/x/y/issues', '--field', 'title=test']
  • ['gh', 'api', 'repos/x/y/issues', '--raw-field', 'title=test']
  • ['gh', 'api', 'repos/x/y/issues', '--method=POST']
  • ['gh', 'api', 'repos/x/y/issues', '-XPOST']

It only rejects the split-token form --method POST. A shared read-only helper should either reject payload-bearing gh api flags unless --method GET is explicit, and handle combined method forms, or avoid advertising the helper as read-only enforcement.

Validation run:

  • python -m pytest tests\test_gh_cli.py tests\test_public_json_fetch.py -q -> 11 passed.
  • python -m ruff check scripts\gh_cli.py scripts\public_json_fetch.py scripts\source_args.py tests\test_gh_cli.py tests\test_public_json_fetch.py -> passed.
  • python -m ruff format --check scripts\gh_cli.py scripts\public_json_fetch.py scripts\source_args.py tests\test_gh_cli.py tests\test_public_json_fetch.py -> passed.
  • git diff --check origin/main...HEAD -> clean.

Please migrate a small representative set of existing scripts to the helper, and tighten the gh api read-only enforcement/tests before merge.
