Research direction

Start by tracing the Hackbot trypush flow associated with the linked Treeherder job and Mercurial revisions. Compare how commit messages are assigned to the bugfix and try_task_config.json commits, then verify that the resulting messages identify the correct content and include the intended bug number.

Description

hackbot

From https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=c7f505f5d588744c766750c96b00b9a7adf40a2e

this commit is titled "Uncommitted agent changes" but has the actual bugfix

this (topmost) commit has the bug number and a short commit message but only has the try_task_config.json.

This seems like it's the wrong way around.
