Research direction

This is a maintainer triage list, and it names no source files, only issue and PR numbers. Start by checking each listed PR body for a Fixes #N line, then read the bundle-test files those PRs touch to see which ones overlap. Done means each duplicate is closed or merged into its consolidated PR and the open-issue count drops accordingly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

kind/cleanup

Review of open issues/PRs (24 issues, 18 PRs; nearly all bot-generated by hivecommons-hive).

Issue ↔ PR pairs (each PR should close its issue; verify Fixes #N in PR bodies)

412→#413, 409→#410, 407→#408, 405→#406, 402→#403, 400→#401, 396→#397, 394→#395, 384→#385, 382→#383, 380→#381, 377→#378, 346→#347, 344→#345, 332→#333, 313→#314, 297→#298

Consolidation candidates (likely touching the same bundle-test files; merge order causes conflicts)

  • Owners/auth e2e coverage: #406, #403, #401, #383, #381, #378 (issues 405, 402, 400, 382, 380, 377) → one PR.
  • Sweep/tide/approve/lgtm plugins: #385, #345, #347, #333, #410, #408.
  • Small single-arm tests: #413, #397, #395, #314, #298.

Duplicates / overlaps

  • #393 (bug: comment-only prow.yaml throws) vs #394 (coverage of the same arm, PR #395): handle together; fixing #393 changes what #395 tests.
  • #404 (bug: 0-byte OWNERS file fails runs) overlaps #405/#406 content-shape tests; tests should pin the fixed behavior.
  • #386 (unreachable commenter-auth catch arms) overlaps #377/#400 → fold into #378.
  • #171 (dependabot dist repack) is implemented by #390; link/close.

Other

  • #170 is a tracking issue.
  • #40 (e2e test repo, 2021) is stale and a broader version of this coverage effort.
  • #366 (dead code getArgumentLabels) should be a removal, not a test.
