Summary

  • add issue-only triage commands for an allowlist of immutable GitHub user IDs
  • prevent the workflow from running on pull-request comments and grant no pull-request or contents permission
  • require exactly one complete command per comment
  • preserve existing labels for /np notrelated
  • validate duplicate targets, reject self-duplicates and pull requests, and distinguish missing issues from API failures
  • move the maintainer guide into the documentation site and add focused Pester coverage

Validation

  • Invoke-Pester -Path 'pester/*.Tests.ps1' -Output Detailed -CI - 561 passed
  • focused workflow tests - 6 passed
  • embedded JavaScript syntax check - passed
  • PSScriptAnalyzer on pester/triage-tools.Tests.ps1 - no diagnostics
  • GitHub Compile-and-Check - passed
  • fork Unit Tests workflow - passed
  • CodeRabbit review on cde2e84 - approved
  • all review threads - resolved

Notes

  • The docs production build was not run locally because Docker is not installed on the validation host. Repository policy prohibits running the npm build directly on the host.
  • No GUI/manual runtime test is applicable to this GitHub workflow change.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added issue triage commands for labeling, closing as not planned, and marking valid duplicate issues.
    • Added optional reasons for /np and automatic duplicate relationship handling.
    • Added validation to prevent invalid, self-referencing, or pull-request duplicate targets.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved command matching, permission checks, error handling, and cleanup of processed comments.
    • Preserved existing issue labels during triage.
  • Documentation

    • Added an Issue Triage Commands guide covering syntax, validation, auditing, failures, and access requirements.

Walkthrough

The GitHub Actions workflow now processes authorized issue comments with exact triage commands. It supports label updates, not-planned closures, and validated duplicate handling. New tests cover workflow behavior, and documentation describes the commands and requirements.

Changes

Issue triage tools

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow triggers and command authorization
.github/workflows/triage-tools.yaml, pester/triage-tools.Tests.ps1
The workflow processes issue comments only, uses issue-only permissions, authorizes numeric user IDs, and matches supported commands exactly.
Triage and not-planned commands
.github/workflows/triage-tools.yaml, pester/triage-tools.Tests.ps1
/triage and /triageoff update labels. /np accepts optional reasons, applies labels, closes issues as not planned, and removes handled comments.
Duplicate validation and triage documentation
.github/workflows/triage-tools.yaml, pester/triage-tools.Tests.ps1, docs/src/content/docs/code-reference/issue-triage.mdx, docs/astro.config.mjs
/duplicate validates issue targets, rejects pull requests and self-references, handles lookup errors, and records valid duplicate relationships. The docs page describes the commands and appears in the Code Reference sidebar.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cde2e

The workflow can remove existing issue labels when closing an issue as not related and can mishandle duplicate closure when the target issue is invalid or the same issue. These cases can corrupt triage state, so the PR is not merge-ready until the behavior is corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

In @.github/TRIAGE_TOOLS.md:
- Line 16: Update the access sentence in TRIAGE_TOOLS.md to replace the phrase
“by PR from other trusted member” with “through a pull request from another
trusted member,” preserving the rest of the sentence.

In @.github/workflows/triage-tools.yaml:
- Around line 125-133: In the “notrelated” case of the workflow, replace the
labels-setting update with github.rest.issues.addLabels so the “not-related”
label is added without replacing existing labels. Also update
.github/TRIAGE_TOOLS.md at line 7 to use “not-related”.
- Around line 33-34: Update the triage command parsing around triageMatch and
all related command branches to normalize comment.body, require an entire
comment to match exactly one valid command, strictly validate duplicate issue
numbers, and use one mutually exclusive else-if dispatch chain. Apply this in
.github/workflows/triage-tools.yaml at lines 33-34, 67-68, 101-102, and 163-164;
remove the obsolete known-bug guidance from .github/TRIAGE_TOOLS.md lines 20-24.
- Around line 168-185: In the duplicate issue lookup around
github.rest.issues.get, assign duplicateIssue from response.data so the update
call receives the issue ID correctly. Also remove the GitHub API defect claim at
.github/TRIAGE_TOOLS.md line 9; no other changes are needed there.

Delete the command comment after reporting a missing target.

This path posts an error and returns without deleting comment.id, while the documented workflow contract says handled command comments are deleted. Delete the command comment after the error message, or document that failed lookups remain visible.

Handle duplicate issue lookups correctly. Assign response.data to duplicateIssue; otherwise duplicateIssue.id is undefined. Treat only errors with status === 404 as missing issues. Re-throw all other errors.

Reject self-duplicate requests before lookup or update.

If duplicateIssueNumber === issueNumber, the workflow updates the current issue with state_reason: "duplicate". Because duplicateIssue stores the response wrapper, duplicateIssue.id is undefined and duplicate_issue_id is omitted.
