Research direction

Start by locating the runner code that handles review_state_truncated and the persistent review comment state, then trace how active and resolved findings are stored and recognized. Compare the listed compaction options against T01 and T02, and inspect the fingerprint test referenced in T03. Done means the state stays below GitHub’s limit across many runs, earlier findings remain recognized, and the test flags changes to the compacted function.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area: runner post-mvp type: feature

Background

The runner detects when the persistent review comment reaches GitHub's size limit (error code review_state_truncated). PR-Agent 0.47.0 keeps all active findings and only limits resolved findings to 20. Once the state is full, every later review of that pull request ends as failed.

Goal

Compact the accumulated state so that long-lived pull requests with many pushes do not hit the limit, without making recognition of earlier findings worse. Options to evaluate:

  • shorten the stored texts
  • summarize very old active findings
  • lower the limit for resolved findings
  • start a new comment when the state is full

Test cases

ID Case Level Expectation
T01 PR with 100 active findings over many runs Engine The comment stays below the limit, no review_state_truncated
T02 A finding from an early run shows up again Engine It is recognized as known
T03 A PR-Agent update changes the compacted function Unit The fingerprint test fails and flags the change

Migrated from Jira CR-52 (original test IDs CR-52-T01 to T03).
