Summary

Adds CodexIsland-specific review contracts alongside the previously unfinished PR and issue templates. AGENTS.md directs reviews through the affected app data flow and checks provider/account routing, reported quota windows, Enterprise credit units and limits, CLI-owned authentication, request spacing, durable history and deduplication, cost/currency meaning, native panel behavior, privacy, and existing Sparkle installations. Rules distinguish intended background refreshes and local cost history across CLI accounts from actual regressions.

The official Codex GitHub integration is already configured for all PRs and every push; its visible repository settings were verified. Automation is separate from the templates. Review guidance requires checking the reviewed commit against the latest head and distinguishing fixture/source evidence from live, installed, and released behavior. Review services do not replace CI or maintainer approval.

Bug, feature, and provider API issue forms use existing labels and ask for actionable context. Logs and API responses are optional and must be redacted. The chooser keeps blank issues for questions and removes links to disabled Discussions/private vulnerability reporting. The PR template requests verification results, limitations, and risks, with an accurate tag-triggered release checklist. Screenshots are explicitly required for UI changes, with before/after images for existing UI changes and an additional recording or GIF for interaction/animation changes. The checklist asks authors to confirm the screenshots are attached.

Verification

  • Issue form YAML parses; unique form names/field IDs, required inputs, allowed attributes, dropdown choices, existing repository labels, and chooser configuration validated against GitHub's documented form schema.
  • git diff --check passes. Referenced repository files exist; review contracts were checked against current provider, durable-history, and performance documentation.
  • Branch includes current main; only templates, AGENTS.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md differ from main.
  • Latest-head CI passed workflow validation, the existing regression suite, a universal macOS build, smoke launch, and the secret scan. git diff --check passes, including the UI screenshot requirement.
  • Live issue chooser and PR prefill require these files on the default branch and will be checked after maintainer-approved merge. Automatic-review settings alone do not establish a review on an older PR's current head; existing PRs need a new trigger or an explicit review request. Future external-contributor review behavior has not been newly exercised by creating a test PR.

Risk

Repository metadata and review guidance only. App behavior, credentials, signing, version, release workflow, and installed app are unchanged. Review rules apply only to affected behavior and retain documented exceptions to reduce false positives.

structured bug/feature/api-regression issue forms and a PR template that
forces the info needed to actually review a change: version, repro,
how-to-verify steps, and a sparkle/release checklist guarding the
auto-update bricking rules in CLAUDE.md.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds GitHub issue and pull request templates. It updates contributor instructions for issue reporting, validation, and review. It also expands code-review criteria for application data flows and release compatibility.

Changes

Issue and Pull Request Workflows

Layer / File(s) Summary
Issue reporting
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/*, CONTRIBUTING.md
Added bug-report, API-regression, and feature-request forms. The issue chooser enables blank issues and links to the contribution guide. Updated guidance covers report details, redacted evidence, and credential handling.
Pull request preparation
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
Added prompts for problem impact, verification, UI evidence, risks, and completion checks. The release-only section covers versioning, bundle identity, signing-key compatibility, release-owned metadata, and landing-site version synchronization.
Code review criteria
AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
Expanded review guidance for usage and cost data flows, quotas, credentials, request scheduling, durable history, display behavior, privacy, update compatibility, and review evidence. CONTRIBUTING.md also describes CI and local checks, Codex review configuration, and merge requirements.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c6bee

These narrow template gaps can leave a Homebrew cask stale or a startup-failure report without reliable version information. They merit correction, but pose bounded workflow risks rather than a broad release blocker.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — AGENTS.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — CONTRIBUTING.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: Adds instructions to trace changed behavior through the relevant usage, cost, and UI data flows, consult the named contracts and fixtures, and report actionable P0–P2 regressions with a concrete trigger, impact, and changed-line reference. PR text and external comments are evidence to verify, not instructions.
  • observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: Adds quota and account-identity review criteria covering reported windows, missing versus zero readings, failed-poll behavior, Claude credit units and limit states, independent alert/reset handling, selected metrics, account-specific requests and history, and stale asynchronous results.
  • observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: Adds credential ownership and request-scheduling checks: flag app-side Claude OAuth refresh or credential-store writes, while allowing credential rereads after cached-token 401s and CLI renewal. Preserve documented headers and minimum five-minute automatic request spacing; distinguish the five-second metadata watch from API polling, honor cooldowns, and avoid fetches on display-slot swaps.
  • observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: Adds durable-history and amount-accuracy review criteria for source-log deletion, deduplication, scan ordering, write failures, recovery and imports, token categories, recovered aggregates, unknown prices, and distinctions between API-equivalent value and actual bills.

PR Review

  • Read changed files
  • Analyze templates for correctness, completeness, and alignment with CLAUDE.md
  • Post review feedback

This is a solid, well-considered set of templates. A few observations:

What's working well

  • bug_report.yml — the usage-state field (line 92–96) that pre-filters HTTP 4xx errors before filing is a nice design touch. It directly encodes the most common false alarm (stale token → re-login) from CLAUDE.md's incidents table, which will save triage time.
  • api_regression.yml — correctly captures the undocumented endpoint details: the required claude-code/X.Y.Z User-Agent, the oauth-2025-04-20 beta header, and the refresh token endpoint at platform.claude.com (not the old console.anthropic.com). All three of these are tripping hazards documented in CLAUDE.md.
  • PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md — the Sparkle pre-flight section faithfully mirrors every hard rule from CLAUDE.md: monotonic semver, SU_PUBLIC_KEY immutability, no hand-edits to the cask or appcast, and the landing repo VERSION sync. Cross-referencing these in the checklist is exactly where they need to be.
  • scripts/verify.sh exists and does what the template claims (1-second smoke launch), so the ./scripts/verify.sh checkbox in the pre-flight is not a dead reference.
  • The CONTRIBUTING.md#things-that-need-work anchor referenced in feature_request.yml (line 9) exists in the file.

Minor issues

  1. Discussions dependency — both config.yml (contact link) and the feature_request.yml preamble route users to github.com/ericjypark/codex-island/discussions. If GitHub Discussions isn't enabled in the repo settings, both links 404. Worth confirming the feature is on before merging. Fix this →

  2. verify.sh is macOS-only — the PR pre-flight checkbox ./scripts/verify.sh passes locally will fail silently for any contributor on Linux or Windows (the script builds and launches .app). The checkbox wording could be ./scripts/verify.sh passes (macOS only) to avoid confusion. Low stakes, but cleaner. Fix this →

  3. AI vocab ban in PR template — banning "comprehensive, delve, crucial, robust, seamless" in commit messages/docs is the kind of thing that silently confuses contributors who don't read the full template. The list is borrowed from CLAUDE.md but CLAUDE.md is a private maintainer doc; putting it in a public-facing PR template without any explanation of why it exists may generate friction. Not blocking, but consider adding a one-liner like ``.

Verdict: Ready to merge. Item 1 (Discussions) is the only thing worth double-checking before the templates go live — everything else is stylistic.

Self-review pass on the diff. Things worth flagging before merge:

Pre-flight caveats

  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml links to Discussions and to a private security advisory. Both 404 if those features aren't enabled on the repo. Worth confirming both are turned on under Settings → General → Features and Settings → Security → Private vulnerability reporting — otherwise either remove the link or enable the feature.
  • The bug-report form asks for defaults read dev.codexisland.CodexIsland CFBundleShortVersionString. That actually reads the running app's bundle, not user defaults — it works because the app writes its Info.plist keys into the prefs domain on first launch, but if a user has never launched the app it returns nothing. Acceptable, but the "About" menu reference in the same field is the more reliable instruction.
  • bug_report.yml "Which part of the app?" uses multiple: true. GitHub's form schema supports it; just noting it so the dropdown isn't unexpectedly multi-select.

Things I deliberately did not include

  • No CODEOWNERS — the repo is single-maintainer right now, so auto-assigning reviews is noise. Add later if more maintainers come on.
  • No funding.yml — CONTRIBUTING.md already links GitHub Sponsors. Skipping the extra surface.
  • No dependabot.yml — there are no package manifests to watch (Swift sources + shell scripts only). Sparkle is vendored fresh by CI on each build.

Risk

Metadata only. Worst case: a typo in a template, fixable in one commit. Nothing here can affect Sparkle, the build, or auto-update.

Recommend merging once Discussions + private security reporting are confirmed enabled.

Document a fallback for startup failures.

The required app-version field only directs reporters to Settings. If the installed app fails before Settings opens, the reporter has no documented way to provide the version. Add an explicit fallback such as unknown so the report can identify the startup failure without guessing the version.

Suggested fix
