The AI review bot now starts from a cron sweep, every 30 minutes. It lists open PRs and reviews the ones it has not reviewed at that head SHA yet. Before this, auto review ran on the pull_request event. A fork's pull_request event gets no repo secrets, so the job stopped at missing AI_REVIEW_TOKEN or XAI_API_KEY before it reached the agent. Fork PRs are most of the review load, so auto review was dead in practice.

🎯 Changes

  1. .github/workflows/ai-review.yml: replaced the pull_request trigger with schedule (*/30 * * * *). workflow_dispatch and the /ai-review comment are unchanged.
  2. New agent-scripts/ai-review/sweep.ts (pnpm ai-review:sweep). It lists open PRs, picks the ones to review, makes a worktree per PR, runs the existing review job, then removes the worktree.
  3. The sweep reuses the existing auto-mode skip rules in skip.ts. It drops drafts, bot authors, roster maintainers, the machine user's own head commit, and a head SHA that already has a bot comment.
  4. AI_REVIEW_SWEEP_LIMIT caps reviews per run. The default is 3. The rest wait for the next run. One failed review does not stop the others, and the run still exits non-zero.
  5. Removed the ai-review label trigger and its code. That trigger rode on pull_request, so it was already dead for forks, and it did the same job as the /ai-review comment.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.
  • Docs: I updated docs/ for this change, or this change is not user-facing.
  • Changeset: I added a changeset (pnpm changeset), or this PR does not change a published package.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Testing

Commands run.

  • pnpm test:ai-review — 99 tests pass, 14 files.
  • pnpm format — clean.
  • pnpm exec oxlint agent-scripts/ai-review scripts/maintainer — no error in the changed files. One pre-existing error in git.test.ts is untouched by this PR.
  • tsc --noEmit over agent-scripts — no error in sweep.ts or sweep.test.ts. Note: the root tsconfig.json does not include agent-scripts, so this was an ad-hoc run.
  • Not run: pnpm test:pr. No published package changed, and the review bot has no E2E path.

Manual test.

  1. Set AI_REVIEW_TOKEN and XAI_API_KEY in the shell.
  2. Run pnpm ai-review:sweep from a full clone of this repo.
  3. Read the log lines. Each open PR prints either ai-review sweep skip #N: <reason> or ai-review sweep done #N label=<label>.
  4. To review one PR only, set AI_REVIEW_SWEEP_LIMIT=1 and run step 2 again.
  5. In GitHub, open Actions and run AI review with workflow_dispatch and a PR number. The single-PR path must still comment on that PR.

How this PR makes testing easy. sweep.ts splits the API calls from the decisions. selectSweepPulls, parseSweepLimit, listOpenPulls, addPullWorktree, and removePullWorktree are exported and covered by sweep.test.ts with an injected GitHub client and an injected git runner. No test spawns git or touches the network.

Closes #1325

Risk / rollback

The risk is review latency and cost. A new PR now waits up to 30 minutes for its first review, and the sweep runs 48 times a day. To roll back, revert this PR. To slow it down without a revert, change the cron line in .github/workflows/ai-review.yml. To reduce cost per run, set AI_REVIEW_SWEEP_LIMIT lower.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a scheduled AI review sweep that runs every 30 minutes.
    • Reviews eligible open pull requests, prioritizing newer requests and limiting each run to three by default.
    • Skips drafts, bot and maintainer requests, previously reviewed revisions, and the machine user’s own changes.
    • Automatically approves waiting Test checks after a clean review.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup and local-run guidance for scheduled sweeps and manual reviews.
    • Added troubleshooting guidance for common sweep failures.

A fork's `pull_request` event gets no repo secrets, so the auto review
job could never start on the PRs that most need it — it failed with
"missing AI_REVIEW_TOKEN or XAI_API_KEY" before reaching the agent.

Replace the `pull_request` trigger with a 30-minute schedule. The sweep
lists open PRs, drops the ones the existing auto-mode skip rules reject
(draft, bot author, roster maintainer, machine-user head commit, head
SHA already reviewed), and reviews up to `AI_REVIEW_SWEEP_LIMIT` of the
rest, most recently updated first. Each PR head goes into its own
worktree, reviewed and removed. One failed review does not stop the
others; the run still exits non-zero.

`workflow_dispatch` and the `/ai-review` comment still work unchanged.
The `ai-review` label trigger is gone — it rode on `pull_request`, so it
was already dead for forks and duplicated the comment command.

Closes #1325

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The AI review workflow now runs a 30-minute scheduled sweep. The sweep selects eligible open pull requests, reviews each head in a temporary worktree, and removes the worktree afterward. Pull-request label triggers and related skip logic were removed.

Changes

Scheduled review execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sweep selection and worktree orchestration
agent-scripts/ai-review/sweep.ts, agent-scripts/ai-review/sweep.test.ts
Adds open pull request discovery, skip rules, review limits, head-SHA checks, temporary worktrees, cleanup, and sweep tests.
Auto-mode review integration
agent-scripts/ai-review/event.ts, agent-scripts/ai-review/run.ts, agent-scripts/ai-review/run.test.ts
Makes synthesized pull-request events use auto mode and removes label-trigger gating. Review helpers are exported for sweep use.
Scheduled workflow and operating instructions
.github/workflows/ai-review.yml, agent-scripts/ai-review/README.md, package.json
Adds the cron trigger and sweep command, updates concurrency and step conditions, and documents sweep configuration and local execution.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1ed68

The new scheduled reviewer can fail to process later pull requests, indefinitely overlook PRs beyond API result pages, or spend limited sweep capacity on commits it should skip. Resolve these issues before relying on the sweep for automatic reviews.

🌐 Web query:

GitHub REST API list pull requests per_page maximum 100 pagination

💡 Result:

The GitHub REST API allows you to control the number of results returned per page using the per_page query parameter. The maximum value for this parameter is 100 [1][2]. Key details regarding pagination: 1. Maximum per_page: You can set per_page up to 100 [1][2]. If you provide a value greater than 100, the API will automatically reduce it to the maximum (100) without returning an error [2]. 2. Default value: If the per_page parameter is not specified, the API defaults to 30 items per page [1][3]. 3. Pagination mechanism: To retrieve subsequent pages of data, you should use the link header provided in the API response [2]. This header contains URLs for the next, last, first, and previous pages [2]. 4. Behavior: Because the API gracefully handles values exceeding the maximum, you may receive fewer results than expected without an explicit error if you mistakenly request a page size larger than 100 [2]. You can confirm these limits in the official GitHub REST API documentation for specific endpoints, such as those for listing pull requests [1][3].

Paginate the open pull-request list.

listOpenPulls makes one GitHubClient.rest request with per_page=100. GitHub returns at most 100 items per page, so later pull requests are not inspected. Fetch successive pages until a page contains fewer than 100 items. Add a test with a non-empty second page.

Fetch the head-commit author before applying the limit.

Line 110 always passes null, so selectSweepPulls cannot exclude a machine-user head commit. A machine-user pull request can consume a sweep slot, create a worktree, and only then be skipped by runReviewJob after Line 275 fetches its author. Eligible pull requests can then wait for a later sweep.

Store the head-commit author in SweepCandidate and fetch it before selection. Add a limit-one test with a machine-user pull request before an eligible pull request.

candidate-loading flow to fetch each pull request’s head-commit author before
calling selectSweepPulls, store that value in SweepCandidate, and pass it
instead of null so machine-user commits are excluded during selection. Add a
limit-one test covering a machine-user pull request preceding an eligible pull
request.

Check cleanup command exit statuses.

GitRunner reports failures with code, but this function only handles rejected promises. A failed git worktree remove or git branch -D is treated as success and can leave the worktree or branch behind. The next sweep can then fail when it reuses the same .pr-<number> path or branch.

Check both exit codes, log failures, and add a test where the runner resolves with a non-zero code.

Handle worktree setup failures per pull request.

addPullWorktree runs before the try block. If fetch or worktree creation fails for one pull request, main() rejects immediately and does not review later selected pull requests. This conflicts with the required per-pull failure isolation.

Move worktree setup inside the try block. Run cleanup in finally when setup created, or could have created, local state.

In `@agent-scripts/ai-review/sweep.ts` at line 256, Move the addPullWorktree call
in main’s per-pull processing flow inside the existing try block so fetch or
worktree creation failures are isolated to that pull request and later reviews
continue. Ensure the corresponding cleanup runs from finally whenever setup
created or may have created local worktree state.
