Three complementary flows for opening a PR on GitHub after CI passes on preloop:

  1. Webhook auto-PR (server github_pr.rs): when a push-triggered run succeeds, server opens a PR per policy (auto: feature/always/never, draft, exclude patterns). Commit-message labels [no-pr]/[draft]/[pr] override policy. Dedup against existing open PRs. Best-effort async.

  2. Dirty-tree flow (CLI + server): preloop run on uncommitted changes runs CI on the server snapshot. After green, interactive prompt [y/N/d] (or labels/flags) decides whether to materialize a real commit from the tested tree, push, and open a PR via push endpoint. Server accepts optional {create_pr, draft} override on push. Branch-head fallback for verification. Author = dev git identity.

  3. Pre-push hook (contrib/): soft CI gate for committed pushes. Holds git push open while CI runs. [skip ci] bypass, resumable cache, fail-open when unreachable.

Also: snapshot-tree exposure, dirty submission relaxed validation, config types, 8 new tests. just test-ci green.

What & why

Protocol surface

  • I confirm this change touches the runner protocol interface: YES / NO

Required gates

  • just test-ci passes locally (fmt-check + clippy -D + full test suite + runner-watch conformance)
  • If protocol/wire shapes changed: the change is validated against the official runner (golden replay via runner-watch, or a live capture showing the official bytes), not only unit tests
  • If the touched subsystem has property tests (concurrency_properties, scheduling, matrix expansion, …): they are extended for the changed contract and pass (PROPTEST_CASES=256 cargo test -p preloop-runner-server)
  • New wire fields/events are additive and serde-defaulted where the official runner would not send them
  • No secrets, credentials, or internal/deployment-specific paths are introduced (captures with live tokens must be redacted or excluded)

Verification performed

Checklist

  • Tests added/updated for any new observable contract
  • Docs updated (docs/, CONTRIBUTING.md) where behavior changed
  • Changelog-worthy user-facing change described in the PR body

Summary by cubic

Adds a soft pre-push CI gate and automatically opens a GitHub pull request after a successful push-triggered run. Previously only clean-tree preloop run --push --create-pr opened PRs; now native GitHub pushes can auto-open PRs per policy, and the gate blocks pushing red commits, failing open only when the engine is unreachable.

Auto-PR for webhook pushes: gated on native provenance, fires once at run finalization after deferred expansions, deduplicates existing open PRs, honors [no-pr], [draft], and [pr], anchors exclusion patterns, URL-encodes queries, skips local repositories, and lets env override config with strict parsing. Configure with PRELOOP_GITHUB_PR_AUTO=feature|never (removed always), PRELOOP_GITHUB_PR_DRAFT=true|false, and PRELOOP_GITHUB_PR_EXCLUDE=…. The push endpoint POST /api/v1/runs/:run_id/push optionally accepts JSON { "create_pr": bool, "draft": bool } and rejects non-boolean values. For dirty submissions the server records the snapshot tree_sha at accept, rejects runs without one, verifies the pushed branch head matches the tested tree, records effective_sha for webhook dedup, advertises the materialized head in PRs/checks, and skips submit-time checks for dirty pushes. The CLI --push materializes the tested commit once before retries using the developer’s Git identity; explicit --push runs non-interactively, and the prompt reports CI outcome. The embedded pre-push hook gates only (never pushes), chains any previous hook, respects core.hooksPath, caches per remote/endpoint/sha with run-id resume and live-status validation, bypasses [skip ci], handles all-zero remote SHAs, and fails open only on the PRELOOP_UNREACHABLE marker. Tests cover auto-PR, dedup, dirty-tree verification, webhook dedup, hook lifecycle (isolated from global core.hooksPath), and docs were added in docs/ci-gate-auto-pr.md.

  • Rollout / migration
    • Grant the GitHub App pull_requests: write.
    • Set policy: PRELOOP_GITHUB_PR_AUTO=feature|never, PRELOOP_GITHUB_PR_DRAFT=true|false, PRELOOP_GITHUB_PR_EXCLUDE=pattern1,pattern2 (replace any always with feature).
    • Install the pre-push gate when prompted on first interactive preloop run, or manually: cp contrib/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push && chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push.

Written for commit 4bbf8b6. Summary will update on new commits.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

On the first interactive `preloop run`, detect that the pre-push hook
is missing and prompt:

  preloop: add preloop CI as a pre-push hook to run CI on your
           working tree before committing? This will run CI on preloop
           before every git push. [y/N]

On y: writes an embedded hook to .git/hooks/pre-push (chmod +x).
On N: marks the repo as declined via .git/config so it never re-asks.

The hook is embedded in the binary so it works without the repo
contrib/ directory (e.g. cargo install users). Tests verify the
install/decline lifecycle.

Warn on an unrecognized PRELOOP_GITHUB_PR_DRAFT value.

The PRELOOP_GITHUB_PR_AUTO branch warns when the value is unknown and keeps the configured mode. The draft branch maps every unrecognized value to false. A typo such as ture then silently disables draft PRs, which contradicts the "draft by default is safer" intent stated in PrConfig::default. Accept the negative forms explicitly and warn otherwise.

Remove the dead push_requested binding.

Line 52 returns early when run.submission.push.is_some(). push_requested at Line 69 is therefore always false, and Line 72 discards it with let _ =. The binding is dead code, and the let _ = hides the unused-variable warning that would otherwise report it.

Consider a container-level serde default to remove the duplicated draft value.

PrConfig declares the draft default twice: in the manual Default impl and in pr_draft_default. A container-level #[serde(default)] makes serde fill every missing field from PrConfig::default(), so the helper function is no longer needed. The two values then cannot drift.

Inline comments:
In `@contrib/pre-push`:
- Around line 61-66: Update the preloop push flow, including the command
handling in contrib/pre-push and the push implementation around the preloop CLI,
to return a dedicated machine-readable connectivity status for genuine preloop
reachability failures. Make the hook fail open only when that status is
returned; authentication, permission, repository, and other Git push errors must
continue to block the push regardless of their log text.
- Around line 30-37: Bind the pre-push validation and publication flow to the
exact pushed branch, remote, and commit by updating the hook’s preloop
invocation and corresponding APIs, including push_tested_commit_in, to accept
and use local_ref, branch, local_sha, and the selected remote instead of
hard-coded values. Reject multi-ref pushes and non-current or otherwise
unsupported refs until exact ref/remote propagation is implemented, and ensure
no earlier update is published before all requested updates are validated.
- Around line 26-28: Update the preloop cache flow around preloop_bin and
cache_dir to persist a scoped record containing the repository destination
identity and preloop run ID, rather than a bare success marker. Reuse the
recorded run by querying and validating its terminal status, including after
interruptions, and only skip CI when the identity matches the current
repository, remote, and server endpoint and the status is successful; otherwise
start or resume the run normally.
- Around line 41-42: Update the commit-range selection in the pre-push hook
before the git log pipeline to detect an all-zero remote_sha and use a valid
range for new branches; retain the existing remote-to-local range for
established branches so [skip ci] detection works in both cases.

In `@crates/preloop-cli/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 2102-2105: Update the caller and decide_dirty_push_opts flow to
pass the final CI status into the prompt-rendering logic, then adjust the
message so it accurately reports whether CI passed or failed while retaining the
dirty-change count and commit decision context.
- Around line 2096-2100: Update the decision call site near the push handling
flow to pass args.push alongside the existing create_pr value, and adjust the
decision logic around the non-interactive stdin check so an explicit --push
proceeds with the tested tree even without --create-pr or a commit label.
Preserve create_pr as false for --push-only runs and retain the existing
declined behavior when neither action was explicitly requested.

In `@crates/preloop-cli/src/push.rs`:
- Around line 189-193: Materialize the tested commit once before the retry loop
in push_run, then pass the resulting commit SHA into every push_run_once
attempt. Update push_run_once to accept and reuse that SHA instead of calling
materialize_tested_commit per retry, preserving the existing retry behavior and
branch-push flow.
- Around line 259-281: Import push_tree and all referenced objects from the
staged snapshot repository into the current checkout before calling
materialize_tested_commit, ensuring commit-tree can resolve the tree without an
alternate object database. Update the related test to create the tested tree in
a separate repository before exercising the dirty-tree push path.

In `@crates/preloop-runner-server/src/github_pr.rs`:
- Around line 164-207: The label parsing behavior and documentation are
inconsistent: pr_labels_from_payload is documented as head-commit-only but scans
every commit. Align the implementation with the documented head-commit intent by
selecting only the push payload’s head commit message, and update the test to
include multiple commits so older-commit labels are ignored; alternatively,
revise all documentation and tests to explicitly specify scan-all behavior and
its [no-pr] versus [pr] precedence.
- Around line 416-439: Move the PrAuto::Always assignment on state.pr_config
before constructing shared, or rebuild shared after the assignment, so
maybe_open_pr_inner observes the Always mode; apply the same synchronization
before any later test step that depends on this mode.
- Around line 57-61: Update the repository slug parsing in maybe_open_pr to
return Ok(false) when submission.repository lacks an owner/repo separator,
treating it as not applicable rather than an error. Preserve the existing quiet
handling for malformed adjacent cases and the split_once expectation later in
the function.
- Around line 86-106: Update maybe_open_pr_inner to distinguish PrAuto::Feature
from PrAuto::Always according to the documented behavior, rather than only
rejecting PrAuto::Never; add a focused test demonstrating their different
outcomes, or remove the redundant variant and all related handling if no
behavioral distinction is intended.
- Around line 212-244: Update branch_matches so the final non-empty wildcard
segment is matched with rest.ends_with(part), while preserving prefix matching
for the first literal and ordered matching for intermediate literals. Add
regression tests covering *-wip with feat-wip-wip and *ab with abab.
- Around line 114-126: Update the existing pull-request lookup in the
surrounding function to encode the head and state parameters with the existing
serde_urlencoded dependency, then pass the encoded query as pulls?{query} to
github_json. Preserve the current open-PR check and return behavior while
ensuring branch characters are safely encoded.

In `@crates/preloop-runner-server/src/github_push.rs`:
- Around line 232-236: Update the pull-request body construction to interpolate
effective_sha instead of sha, matching the commit used by the check-run loop and
ensuring dirty-tree runs advertise the materialized head commit.
- Around line 210-231: Update the commit lookup fallback in the surrounding
github_json flow to preserve the first error and retry commits/{branch} only
when the commits/{sha} request reports a not-found/404 error. Propagate or
classify all other errors directly instead of falling back, while retaining the
existing blocked handling when both commit and branch lookups are unavailable.

In `@docs/ci-gate-auto-pr.md`:
- Around line 39-41: Update the documentation’s description of the preloop run
--push behavior to match decide_dirty_push_opts: dirty-tree submissions are
supported, and the tested snapshot is materialized before pushing. Remove or
clearly mark the stale claim that --push refuses dirty trees, while preserving
the documented submission fields and actor behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The auto = Always mutation does not reach the state the test exercises.

Line 416 builds shared from state.clone(). pr_config is a plain PrConfig field on AppState, not an Arc, as declared at crates/preloop-runner-server/src/state.rs Line 414. The clone therefore deep-copies it. Line 435 mutates only the local state, so shared.state.pr_config.auto stays PrAuto::Feature.

The assertion at Line 438 still passes, because [no-pr] suppresses the pull request under every mode. The comment at Line 434 claims the test covers "even under auto = always", but it does not.

Set the mode before you build shared, or rebuild shared after the mutation.

💚 Proposed fix
         // 2. [no-pr] label skips even under auto = always.
-        state.pr_config.auto = crate::config::PrAuto::Always;
+        state.pr_config.auto = crate::config::PrAuto::Always;
+        let shared = Arc::new(crate::SharedState {
+            state: state.clone(),
+            shutdown: CancellationToken::new(),
+        });
         let run_id = submit_successful(&state, "chore: y [no-pr]").await;

Apply the same rebuild before step 3 if that step depends on the mode.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict the branch fallback to a 404.

Err(_) at Line 214 discards the error kind. Every failure of GET commits/{sha} triggers the branch fallback, including 401, 403, and 5xx responses.

A transient 502 on the first lookup therefore falls back to the branch head. If that head already carries the tested tree from an earlier attempt, the tree check at Line 243 passes and the run is marked Synced against a commit the client did not push in this attempt.

Match on the error and fall back only when the first lookup reports "not found".

  • In crates/preloop-runner-server/src/github_pr.rs, PrAuto::Always currently behaves the same as Feature because both paths hit the same unconditional default-branch skip, which can cause auto-policy configuration to be silently ignored and lead to unexpected PR automation behavior; either implement a distinct Always path that honors config.auto or remove/rename the option to match actual behavior.

Use TestEnvVar so a failed assertion cannot leak the mock API URL.

The new test sets PRELOOP_GITHUB_API_URL and PRELOOP_GITHUB_TOKEN with std::env::set_var and clears them only at the end. If any assertion between Line 18703 and Line 18748 panics, both variables stay set for the rest of the process. Later tests that build an AppState would then point at the closed mock port. crate::state::TestEnvVar (already used in github_pr.rs) restores the previous value on drop, including on unwind.

♻️ Proposed change
     let _env = crate::state::GITHUB_ENV_LOCK.lock().await;
-    std::env::set_var("PRELOOP_GITHUB_API_URL", format!("http://127.0.0.1:{port}"));
-    std::env::set_var("PRELOOP_GITHUB_TOKEN", "sync-test-token");

+    );

Then drop the two std::env::remove_var calls at the end of this test.

Record the install/decline decision with git config, not by appending text to .git/config.

Three problems with the current approach:

  • The path .git/config is hardcoded and relative to the process working directory. In a linked worktree or a submodule, .git is a file, so the read fails, the write fails silently (let _ = …), and maybe_offer_hook prompts on every preloop run.
  • hook_installed resolves the hooks directory through git, but hook_decided does not use git at all. The two functions disagree about which repository they inspect.
  • Hand-appending [preloop] can add a second section when a user installs and later declines.

Shell out to git config --local so git owns the file format and location.

Bound the resume wait and create the log file safely.

Two items in run_ci_or_resume:

  • The resume loop at Line 141-156 has no upper bound. A run that stays queued (for example, no runner can host it) holds git push open forever. Only an unknown verdict exits.
  • log is a predictable path in a shared TMPDIR. >"$log" follows an existing symlink, so another user on the host can redirect the write. Use mktemp instead.

- Around line 90-101: Update the cached-run status handling around the verdict
command and case statement to preserve the preloop status command’s exit status
instead of mapping every failure to unknown. Use a distinct unreachable result
for connectivity failures, allow fail-open only for that result, and block or
retry authentication, invalid-run, and other CLI failures.
- Around line 115-117: Update the pre-push CI invocation around preloop_bin so
it tests exactly local_sha rather than the arbitrary working tree: run preloop
from local_sha’s tree, or detect and reject any staged, unstaged, or untracked
worktree changes before starting CI. Preserve the existing logging and
push-blocking behavior.
- Around line 36-37: Update the failure handling around the previous-hook
invocation in contrib/pre-push so its original nonzero exit status is captured
before applying negation or otherwise preserved explicitly, then exit with that
status instead of `$?` from the negated condition. Keep the existing successful

configuration by clearing the environment variables that influence global and
system config lookup, including them in CwdGuard and removing them in
CwdGuard::drop. Preserve the existing working-directory restoration and ensure
install_hook resolves the test repository’s .git/hooks directory rather than a
developer-configured global hooks path.
- Around line 320-331: Update the prompt in the surrounding hook-installation
flow to say the pre-push hook runs before every git push, not before committing.
After install_hook succeeds, report the actual hook path based on
resolve_hooks_dir rather than hardcoding .git/hooks/pre-push, including support
for configured core.hooksPath.
- Around line 168-196: Update the CI gate hook command around "$preloop_bin" run
to append overridable arguments from PRELOOP_HOOK_RUN_ARGS, allowing
repositories with multiple workflows to supply the required -f workflow
selection while preserving the default behavior when unset. Document this
environment variable and its purpose in the CI gate documentation.

- Around line 223-245: Replace the direct .git/config reads and writes in
hook_decided, mark_hook_installed, and mark_hook_declined with git config
--local operations, using the same repository context as hook_installed. Query
the preloop decision keys through Git and set the appropriate key through Git
instead of appending sections or ignoring write failures; preserve the existing
boolean behavior when keys are absent or commands fail.
- Around line 139-156: Update run_ci_or_resume so the in_progress|queued|pending
resume polling has a finite timeout or attempt limit and exits with an
appropriate failure outcome when exceeded; also replace predictable log-path
creation and truncation with mktemp-generated, securely created files so
existing symlinks cannot redirect writes.

In `@crates/preloop-runner-server/src/lib_tests.rs`:
- Around line 18676-18678: Replace the manual PRELOOP_GITHUB_API_URL and
PRELOOP_GITHUB_TOKEN set/remove handling in the test with
crate::state::TestEnvVar guards, preserving the existing values and restoring
them automatically on drop; remove the corresponding cleanup calls at the end.

Run CI against local_sha, not an arbitrary working tree.

preloop run tests the current tree. A dirty worktree can contain staged, unstaged, or untracked changes that are not in local_sha. CI can then pass for a different tree while Git pushes the untested commit.

Run CI from local_sha's tree, or reject the push when the worktree is dirty.

Make the pull-request outcome conditional.

A green run does not always create a pull request. preloop run --push can push without --create-pr, webhook auto-PR can be disabled, and missing GitHub credentials suppress PR creation. Update Lines 4-5 and the committed-flow summary in Lines 7-10 to state the conditions explicitly.

[no-pr] skips webhook-created PRs. For dirty-tree client decisions, --create-pr overrides [no-pr]. State this scope near Lines 81-84.

  • In crates/preloop-runner-server/src/github_pr.rs, allowing a native submitter to set trust_tier can bypass webhook-only gating and trigger auto-PR creation from non-webhook runs, which is the highest-risk authorization gap here — enforce a server-owned webhook provenance flag and ignore/clear client-provided trust_tier for native submissions.
  • In crates/preloop-cli/src/main.rs, treating PRELOOP_UNREACHABLE as a grep-able workflow string lets any step output bypass the CI gate even on failed runs, creating a concrete false-pass path — switch unreachable signaling to a dedicated exit code or out-of-band channel.
  • In crates/preloop-runner-server/src/github_push.rs, dedup state is written too late, so a dirty-tree webhook can race ahead and start CI twice for the same materialized commit — reserve a syncing/published marker before making the external push call.
  • In crates/preloop-cli/src/push.rs, client snapshot behavior diverges from server rules (path filtering and sparse-checkout index seeding), which can both include invalid content and reject unchanged sparse checkouts, causing avoidable validation failures and push breakage — mirror server filtering and seed the private index from HEAD to preserve skip-worktree entries.

Push back: this is not merge-ready even though the current required checks are green.

The unresolved safety issues in the existing bot review are real:

  • The hook greps the entire run log for PRELOOP_UNREACHABLE. A workflow step can print that string and make a failed CI run fail open.
  • Cached status failures are collapsed to unknown; the unknown path then fail-opens. Authentication failures, 404s, invalid run IDs, and other CLI failures must block or retry, not bypass CI.
  • The resume loop has no timeout, and the predictable /tmp/preloop-push-<sha>.log path can follow a symlink.

There is also an authorization gap not closed by the current tier_of check: WorkflowSubmission.trust_tier is still deserializable on the native submission path. A caller can submit a successful event = "push" run with a forged tier and reach auto-PR creation. Provenance must be server-owned (clear/reject client-supplied tiers, or use a separate webhook marker).

Please resolve these blockers with regression tests before merge; green CI alone does not establish that the gate fails closed.

  • In crates/preloop-cli/src/main.rs, the generated hook omits ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER, so under set -u the variable expansion fails before grep runs; this can cause otherwise successful CI runs to abort with an unbound-variable error. Define ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER in the generated script (or use a safe default expansion) so the reachability check executes instead of terminating early.

2537-2544: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

A run record without a status field prints unknown and exits 0.

The hook's case "$verdict" has no unknown arm. Inside the resume loop the value therefore matches nothing, and the loop keeps sleeping until PRELOOP_HOOK_TIMEOUT_SECS expires (default 3600s) before it aborts the push.

A run record with no status is a server contract break, not an in-progress run. Fail instead, so the hook reaches its error arm at once.

Serialize the process-wide current_dir change with the other env-mutating tests.

std::env::set_current_dir is process-global. custom_base_image_disables_environment_replacement and packed_artifact_cache_key_tracks_base_image_digest call local_runner_pool_config, which reads std::env::current_dir() for workspace and scan_workflow_images. Those tests hold TEST_ENV_MUTEX; this test does not, so it can move the working directory underneath them and later delete it.

Document the dirty-tree decision prompt and the commit labels.

decide_dirty_push_opts in crates/preloop-cli/src/main.rs adds behavior that this page does not describe:

  • An interactive run asks Commit the tested tree and open a PR? [y/N/d] after CI. The default answer is N, which pushes nothing.
  • A non-interactive run pushes only when --push or --create-pr was passed.
  • The HEAD commit message labels [pr], [draft], and [no-pr] override the prompt.

A user who runs preloop run --push on a dirty tree currently meets an undocumented prompt.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

$ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER is never defined inside the hook script.

PRE_PUSH_HOOK is a Rust raw string (r#"..."#), so $ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER stays a shell variable reference. The script never assigns it, and git invokes the hook without that variable in the environment.

The script runs with set -u. Two failure modes result:

  • In get_verdict (Line 138) the unbound expansion aborts the command substitution subshell. verdict becomes empty, no case arm matches, and a cached terminal verdict is silently ignored.
  • At Line 214 the unbound expansion aborts run_ci_or_resume under set -e, so the hook exits non-zero and aborts the push even when CI passed.

If set -u were removed, the pattern would be empty instead, and grep -q "" matches any non-empty file. Every status error and every non-empty stderr from preloop run would then trigger fail-open. That is the exact bypass the PR description wants to prevent.

Inject the marker value at build time instead of relying on the hook's environment.

🐛 Proposed fix

Make the hook text a formatted string, or export the marker before the greps.

-const PRE_PUSH_HOOK: &str = r#"#!/usr/bin/env bash
+fn pre_push_hook() -> String {
+    PRE_PUSH_HOOK_TEMPLATE.replace("`@ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER`@", ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER)
+}
+
+const PRE_PUSH_HOOK_TEMPLATE: &str = r#"#!/usr/bin/env bash
 # pre-push hook: soft CI gate for preloop.
 set -euo pipefail
+
+# Substituted by `preloop` at install time.
+ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER='`@ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER`@'

Then write pre_push_hook() in install_hook, and keep hook_installed matching on HOOK_MARKER.

Run the following script to confirm the marker is only defined on the Rust side:

#!/bin/bash
# Verify ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER definition and every use.
rg -n 'ENGINE_UNREACHABLE_MARKER' --type rust -C3
# Confirm the hook body is a plain raw string with no substitution.
rg -n 'PRE_PUSH_HOOK' --type rust -C3

Align the runner_capacity doc comment with the returned values.

The doc comment states the function returns None when the server ignores run_id. The body never returns None; the fallback returns Some((1, 0)) or Some((count, count)). The synthetic queued = 1 also does not describe a real queue depth, and the caller compares it with queued > 0.

Update the doc comment, or change the signature to anyhow::Result<(usize, usize)> and describe the fallback values.

Confidence score: 3/5

  • In crates/preloop-runner-server/src/lib_tests.rs, the new assertion depends on an authenticated GET runner-list operation that is absent from the current router and OpenAPI document, causing the test suite to fail before runner capacity is validated. Add the authenticated GET handler and document the endpoint, or adjust the test to use the supported API.

You’re at about 98% of the monthly reviewed-line limit. You may want to disable incremental reviews to conserve quota. Reviews will continue until that limit is exceeded. If you need help avoiding interruptions, please contact contact@cubic.dev.
