Editing only a pull request's title or body no longer cancels a running code review.

The bug. The workflow runs on edited so that it re-reviews after a base-branch change, and every run shared one concurrency group per pull request with cancel-in-progress: true. A title or body edit therefore started a run that cancelled the review in progress, and then skipped its own job because the base had not changed. The pull request was left with no review until the next push. A review of harbor-patches PR #53 found it.

The fix. A title or body edit now gets its own concurrency group (-edit-<run id>), so it cancels nothing; its job is still skipped by the existing condition. A push or a base change keeps the shared group and still replaces a stale run.

Model and effort. The template now writes model (gpt-6-luna) and effort (max) with repository-variable overrides, the lines every install had been adding by hand. A re-install no longer drops them.

Test. A new test runs the real group: expression against sample events with a small evaluator. It checks that a title or body edit lands in a different group from a push, that a base change shares the push group, and that the model and effort defaults are present. The test failed on the old workflow and passes on the new one.

…g review

An edited event that only changes the title or body shared the push's concurrency
group, so it cancelled the running review and then skipped its own job, leaving the
pull request unreviewed. Such an edit now gets its own group by run id; a base-branch
change still shares the push group and replaces the stale run.

The template also carries model and effort (gpt-6-luna at Codex max, repository
variables override), so a re-install keeps what was added by hand after installing.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Pull request title or description edits no longer cancel an in-progress review; each edit runs separately.
    • Base-branch changes and other pull request updates continue to replace outdated review runs.
    • The review model and effort level can now be configured, with defaults applied when settings are not provided.

The pull request updates concurrency groups in two review workflows and adds configurable model and effort settings. Tests cover group selection, cancellation behavior, default settings, and workflow installation.

Changes: Review workflow behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Concurrency groups and tests
.github/workflows/code-review.yml, action/workflow.yml, tests/launcher/test_install_ci.py
Title and body edits use run-specific concurrency groups. Other listed pull request actions retain the shared pull request group. Tests check group selection and cancellation behavior.
Model and effort settings
.github/workflows/code-review.yml, action/workflow.yml, tests/launcher/test_install_ci.py
Both workflows accept model and effort values from workflow variables, with defaults of gpt-6-luna and max. Tests check the defaults and that installation copies the workflow unchanged.

Reviews using a GPT-5.4 model override may fail unless effort is also configured. Set a compatible default before merging, or explicitly accept that configuration requirement.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title states the main change: title or body edits no longer cancel a running code review. It matches the concurrency fix described in the summary and objectives, and it is 68 characters and 13 words, so it is concise.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the bug, where edits to a title or body cancelled an in-progress review through the shared concurrency group. It describes the fix (a run-specific group for edits), the model and effort template changes, and the new test. This matches the changeset and the PR objectives.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 25.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 1 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

What the change does
  • The code review workflows now give title and body edits a run-specific concurrency group while keeping pushes and base retargets in the pull request group.
  • Both workflow copies pass configurable model and effort inputs to the review action, with defaults of `gpt-6-luna` and `max`.
  • The install CI tests evaluate these group expressions for pull request event contexts and check that model and effort settings survive workflow installation.
