What

A pull request session (review or reply) now reads one repository: the pull request's.

  • The sandbox and source tools (sandbox_*, read_source_file, search_source_code) take their repository from the session, the same way the diff tools already took repository and number. What the model passes for it is overwritten.
  • Reply sessions get the same treatment. They previously had no pinning at all, so PrReviewConversationService gains replyTarget.
  • A session whose pull request cannot be looked up is offered no tool that names a repository. It used to run with every tool unpinned.
  • An unattended pass in that state fails as one that could not start, instead of running without its diff tools.
  • search_source_code refuses a path containing whitespace. The path is written into the search query as qualifiers, so a space in it started a qualifier of its own.
  • list_source_repositories is no longer in the reviewer's tool list. It stays available to investigations, including in code mode.

Why

A review reads text written by whoever opened the pull request. Which repository it can read should be decided by the session, not by a tool argument.

Verification

  • apps/ai maple-toolkit.test.ts: repository tools read the session's repository whatever the model names; telemetry tool arguments pass through untouched; an unreadable pull request gets no repository-naming tool; a review is not offered list_source_repositories.
  • apps/ai source-code.test.ts: a spaced search path is refused before any search runs.
  • packages/backend PrReviewConversationService.test.ts: replyTarget returns the reply's repository and number, and nothing for another organization (14 passed).
  • apps/ai chat suites touched by the tool list (permissions, code-mode, run-tool-failures, agents, dispatcher) pass.
  • Scoped typecheck of apps/ai and packages/backend; lint with the CI config and format check on the changed files.

Scope: this holds the unattended pass, which is the one that reads the pull request's text and posts back to it. A member chatting in a review session from the dashboard keeps the full read-only tool list, with the code-reading tools pinned.

Not verified on a preview: the review agent needs the sandbox Worker, which only deploys to production stages.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Code mode can now list source repositories.
    • Pull-request replies can identify their associated repository and pull request.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Repository and pull-request tools now stay scoped to the session’s pull request, rather than using a different repository or pull request supplied by the model.
    • When a pull request can’t be read, tools that require its repository are unavailable.
    • Source-code searches now reject paths containing whitespace or other invalid path formats.
    • Repository listing is no longer available in review sessions.

A review pinned its diff tools to the pull request, but the sandbox and source
tools read whichever connected repository the model named, and a reply session
pinned nothing. Both now hold every repository-naming tool to the pull
request's repository. A session whose pull request cannot be looked up is
offered none of them, and a review no longer lists the other repositories.

Walkthrough

The chat flow derives repository scope from review or reply targets. Repository-related tools use the scoped repository and pull request number, or are withheld when the target is unreadable. Tool availability changes for code mode and PR review. Source-code search rejects paths with whitespace.

Changes: Repository scoping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and pass pull request scope
packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewConversationService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/PrReviewConversationService.test.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/turn-runner.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/run.ts
The conversation service exposes reply-target lookup. The turn runner derives scope from review and reply targets, prefers the review target, and passes an unreadable scope when neither target can be read.
Apply scope and tool availability
apps/ai/src/chat/maple-toolkit.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/maple-toolkit.test.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/code-mode.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/permissions.ts
The toolkit pins repository-related tools to the session scope and excludes them when the scope is unreadable. Code mode adds list_source_repositories; PR review removes it.

Source-code search validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate source-code search paths
apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/source-code.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/source-code.test.ts
search_source_code rejects paths containing whitespace. The test checks that a path with a repo: qualifier is rejected before repository search.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 8896f

When a pull request cannot be read, the early failure settlement can be lost to a database error or an abort. The review then stays marked active and a retry for the same head will not start a new run. The scope is narrow and the second issue has a one-line fix. These should be addressed before merge, or explicitly accepted.

… spaced search paths

An unattended pass with no readable pull request now fails as a pass that
could not start, instead of running without its diff tools. A code search
path with whitespace is refused, since the path is written into the search
query as qualifiers.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 8/10 · likely safe to merge. Pinning and withholding are pinned by tests; the untested piece is the new unreadable fail-fast in turn-runner, whose reply-row write drops the reason.
1 note · tests partial −1 · risk high −1 · 1/1 new units observable

A review or reply session now pins every repository-naming tool to its own pull request's repository, withholds those tools when it cannot be read, and fails an unattended pass instead of running unpinned. The scope change holds; one copy defect on the reply path.

  • buildChatToolkit overwrites repository for the six repository tools and withholds them when the scope is unreadable
  • turn-runner resolves replyTarget and fails an unattended pass whose pull request cannot be read
  • list_source_repositories leaves the reviewer's ruleset and joins the code-mode tool set
  • search_source_code rejects a path containing whitespace, closing the qualifier-injection vector

Findings

🔵 Note · F1 · Reply row loses the unreadable-pull-request reason in failUnfinished

correctness · apps/ai/src/chat/turn-runner.ts:409

failUnfinished's second argument is read only for an investigation: a reply row is settled with NO_REPLY_ERROR and its comment falls back to "Mention me again to retry" (autonomous-settle.ts:86, PrReviewConversationService.ts:859). An autonomous reply whose pull request cannot be read therefore records and posts the wrong cause, and asks for a retry that fails the same way.

Give `UnfinishedRows.failReply` the message argument that `failInvestigation` has, and pass `PULL_REQUEST_UNREADABLE` as the reply row's `error` and as its posted notice.

- Line 409: Update the failed-settlement path around settleRow and
failUnfinished so a database lookup or row-update failure does not leave the
review active and block same-head retries. Preserve a durable retry for the
failed settlement, using the existing settlement mechanisms; establish how they
represent and resume pending work before changing error handling.
- Line 409: Update the start_failed handling in runAutonomousTurn to use the
protected settlement path instead of yielding directly to failUnfinished. Reuse
the existing settlement mechanism and its supersede guard so the failure is
persisted even if the turn is aborted during the write.
