Research direction

Start with the handling for backlog runs in the autowebcompat reproduction agent, using run 7027a303-24f6-4dce-9634-3f1ced884e0c and Bug 2010861 as examples. Trace how existing comments lead to the webcompat judgment, then verify that backlog runs with comments still attempt reproduction before deciding; done means the agent no longer relies on comments alone in this case.

Description

For a run 7027a303-24f6-4dce-9634-3f1ced884e0c and bug 2010861:

[agent] Not a webcompat issue.

The report describes broken CSS on www.altitudeplus.com in Firefox on Linux. However, the follow-up investigation in the comments establishes that the breakage only reproduces when the third-party Stylus extension is installed and injecting styles into the page (even empty rules like foo{}). The triage team could not reproduce it in a standard Firefox configuration. Because the issue depends on a non-default browser modification rather than default Firefox behavior, it would not affect normal Firefox users accessing the site, so it does not meet the webcompat criteria.

This likely is not an issue for new bugs, but more so for backlog runs for bugs that have comments already.
