Why

pr-to-green's canonical auto-merge recipe produced gate inputs merge-gate.sh rejects — twice in one field run (2026-08-31). code-quality-state.sh --baseline-file writes a JSON artifact while merge-gate.sh --code-quality-state-file requires a textual scan-state= line, so the recipe followed verbatim could never pass; and the digest had no sanctioned capture recipe, so any plain >/tee capture under umask 002 was rejected as group-writable, with an error that misattributed the writer.

What

Both gate inputs now have helper-owned writers: code-quality-state.sh --state-file FILE writes the exact printed scan-state=... token (every terminal outcome), and gh-pr-state.sh --digest-out FILE writes the printed digest verbatim — both mode 600. auto-merge.md's canonical block uses both flags, drops the false "read live from the file above" comment, and the writer attribution now names the actual producer. merge-gate.sh behavior is unchanged — its refusals were correct; the inputs were wrong.

Decisions

  • All terminal scan-state= prints route through one emit_scan_state helper, so the file writer structurally cannot diverge from stdout (complete/pending/not-enabled/unknown all covered).
  • --state-file is --head-only, matching --baseline-file's existing gating; the two artifacts are independent and may coexist.
  • --digest-out captures the exact printed digest text rather than re-deriving it, and rejects control characters in the path.
  • Doc fix keeps merge-gate.sh refusals untouched — helper-owned writers are the fix, not gate loosening.

Closes #584

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added options to securely save pull request digests and code-quality scan states to files while continuing to display results in the terminal.
    • Saved files use restrictive permissions and safely replace existing links or files.
    • Code-quality state capture is available in head mode and supports complete, pending, and unavailable results.
  • Documentation

    • Updated merge guidance with the correct digest and scan-state inputs, validation requirements, and canonical command examples.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation and error handling for invalid options and failed file writes.

…riters for scan-state and digest

code-quality-state.sh writes scan-state=... only to stdout, but merge-gate.sh requires that exact token in a file; the canonical recipe pointed --code-quality-state-file at --baseline-file, a different JSON shape, so it could never pass. gh-pr-state.sh had no capture flag for --pr-state-digest either, so a hand-rolled shell redirect under a permissive umask could leave the file group/world-writable, which merge-gate.sh also rejects. Add --state-file to code-quality-state.sh and --digest-out to gh-pr-state.sh, each writing the exact printed evidence, mode 600, and update the canonical recipe in auto-merge.md to use both.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds secure output files for PR digests and Code Quality scan states. It updates the auto-merge documentation to pass the correct files to merge-gate.sh and adds coverage for permissions, validation, output parity, and symlink replacement.

Changes

PR-to-green merge gating

Layer / File(s) Summary
Code Quality state file
agentkit/skills/review-remote-pr/scripts/code-quality-state.sh, tests/test-code-quality-state.sh
code-quality-state.sh adds head-only --state-file support. It writes exact scan-state output to a mode-600 file through atomic replacement. Tests cover outcomes, validation, combined baseline output, permissions, and symlink safety.
PR digest output
agentkit/skills/review-remote-pr/scripts/gh-pr-state.sh, tests/test-gh-pr-state.sh
gh-pr-state.sh adds --digest-out support. It preserves stdout output and securely writes the digest with atomic replacement. Tests cover parity, permissions, validation, and symlink safety.
Auto-merge recipe wiring
agentkit/skills/pr-to-green/references/auto-merge.md
The documented recipe writes separate secure PR digest and textual Code Quality scan-state files. The merge-gate example uses the scan-state file instead of the baseline JSON artifact.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d2f21

The helper writers can still accept empty destinations or fail to replace symlink destinations, allowing a command to succeed without producing the gate input that auto-merge requires. This is a bounded correctness risk and is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

… and digest writers

Adversarial review on PR #594 (P2, confirmed): --state-file (code-quality-state.sh) and --digest-out (gh-pr-state.sh) created/truncated the destination with a plain > redirect before chmod 600 -- a brief window where the file is group/world-writable under a permissive umask, and a pre-existing symlink at the path would be followed and its target truncated. Stage the content in a mode-600 mktemp file in the destination directory, then rename(2) it into place; rename never follows a symlink, so a planted symlink is replaced, never traversed, and the file is never writable-by-others at any point.

…k-to-directory clobber

Two confirmed CodeRabbit findings on the state-file/digest-out writers. First, a plain mv src dest treats a dest that is a symlink to a directory as that directory and moves the staged file inside it, leaving the symlink itself untouched -- switch to mv -fT so the destination path is always treated as the file itself. Second, --state-file "" and --digest-out= were accepted and silently skipped the write -- reject an empty value at parse time in both scripts.
