Product story

Canary reviewers repeatedly reported PR description: none on PRs whose Forgejo body existed and was verified through the API. This creates false security/process blockers and makes agents choose terminal actions based on incomplete review context.

Scope

  • Ensure platformctl.tools.run_review passes the PR body / Canary Context Pack to reviewers, or explicitly records that body was unavailable.
  • Add a regression fixture/test so a reviewer prompt contains the PR body when supplied.
  • Preserve existing diff/files/title inputs.

Evidence

  • PR #82 first canary iterations reported missing PR context despite body existing; after additional doc changes it passed.
  • PR #84 reached 3-iteration cap with tech 3/3 OK, product 2/3 OK, and the remaining high dissent was PR description: none despite a full body on Forgejo.

Acceptance criteria

  • Reviewer input includes PR body or an explicit unavailable marker.
  • Decision packet evidence can distinguish "body absent" from "runner did not provide body".
  • Existing canary tests pass.

Risk class

  • risk/process

Codex live audit note — 2026-05-18 16:56 CEST

This issue is valid, but current live canary cannot prove the fix yet.

Verified state today:

  • canary-required.yml still says SCAFFOLD / READINESS ONLY.
  • canary job still runs on ubuntu-22.04, not canary-host.
  • /data/platformctl/canary.env is missing and readiness is ready=false.
  • Green canary-required checks are currently readiness/scaffold success, not evidence that reviewer context included the PR body.

Acceptance for this issue should include a post-activation smoke where real platformctl.tools.run_review produces decision_packet.json, and the packet/reviewer input evidence confirms PR body text was included.
