Replaces #634, which GitHub closed when its base branch was deleted at #633's merge. Same branch, rebased onto main (7379ad73, which contains #633). The review history and 14 answered threads are on #634.

Rebased head re-verified: build-standalone.mjs --check reproduces standalone 580bab1d… and fixer 797ce37d…; babysitter suite 132 tests, 125 pass, 0 fail, 7 todo.


F2 in the Babysitter owner plan. The goal: a flow that wakes on PR feedback, loads the original session, and fixes the feedback in a sandbox. The design is Revision 1, which the lead approved.

Why propose instead of push

Cloud's PR head mode writes a contents-write token to a file the same-uid coding agent can read. A GitHub App token cannot be limited to one branch, so a prompt-injected agent could push to any branch. RULING-sandbox-push-0902 (cloud) forbids push credentials in sandboxes. The fixer therefore keeps only the #4226 read/comment token and journals a proposal. Cloud publishes it server-side: one commit with parent = bound head, then force:false on the ref update. FIXER.md is the Cloud contract (C1').

What's here

  • admission.ts: the admission prelude, extracted unchanged from standalone.ts and shared by both bodies. Every pre-existing standalone test passes unmodified, except the inline-comment rendering, which now shows #id.
  • fix.ts:
    • checkoutHead sends the token as an HTTP header via GIT_CONFIG_*, never in argv or .git/config, with hooks off. An existing checkout is fetched, reset and cleaned in place, keeping ignored dependencies. That is the hook for per-PR sandbox reuse (C2).
    • proposeChanges builds a bounded binary-safe patch against the bound head, including the agent's own commits. It refuses workflow and secret paths, more than 50 files, more than 36KB of patch, or a proposal over 50KB.
  • fixer.ts: checkout → one babysitter-fix agent in the checkout, with fix-mode rules → reread (declines if the head moved or the PR left scope) → proposal.
    • Replies only go to inline feedback that woke this run, once per thread. They carry a <!-- babysitter:reply … --> marker, mentions are neutralised, and the origin prompt is redacted.
    • No push, merge, review or comment call exists in the fixer, and a test asserts it.
  • artifacts/babysitter-fixer.flow.ts: sha256 a6cb1f4e9d16984fe6711912cd1843a9f710ab1a91085bf03625266ec6f9dd06. The standalone artifact moves to 6ea6982e… because of the refactor.

⚠️ Gate edits (please review explicitly)

  • tests/standalone-artifact.test.ts now loops over both artifacts. Same assertions, plus one new test: no __require( in either artifact.
  • packages/sdk/tests/shipped-source-models.test.ts gets a call-exact waiver "babysitter-fix" for the fixer artifact, the same shape as feat(babysitter): pin standalone launch artifact #616's "babysitter-diagnose".
    • The audit first failed on my budget: 1.5M tokens / $10 broke the ≤100k tokens-per-dollar rule (05a-…red-budget.txt). I fixed the budget to 1M / $10, not the gate.

A bug this caught before shipping

esbuild rewrites require(...) into a __require shim. That shim does not exist once a function's source is lifted into node -e, so checkout and proposal would have crashed in production while the source tests passed. Builtins now load with import(). A test runs proposeChanges as lifted from the shipped artifact under sh -c 'node -e …'.

Evidence (examples/babysitter/evidence/f2-fixer/, unedited)

  • 01-mutation-require-shim.txt: I reverted to require, rebuilt, and ran the tests. the proposal script lifted from the shipped artifact runs under node -e fails with __require is not defined. Restored byte-for-byte (cmp → identical), then 15/15 pass.
  • 02-all-babysitter-green.txt: 124 tests, 117 pass, 0 fail, 7 todo (the existing deliberate gates).
  • 03-artifact-check.txt: both digests reproduce.
  • 04-flows-check.txt: flows check passes for both artifacts.
  • 05-sdk-shipped-source.txt: 2/2 pass.
  • 06-typecheck.txt: 0 errors outside the environment-only classes documented in feat(babysitter): wake on real PR review feedback, not only verdicts #633's 06-typecheck.txt. It caught one real error (report typed as Promise), which is fixed.

Not proven here

  • The checkout never ran against GitHub. checkoutHead is exercised only through the mocked f.run, because it needs network and a token. The live run (Step 3) is its first real exercise.
  • Nothing publishes a proposal yet. That is C1' in cloud.
  • The agent's cwd must be inside the run root. The checkout lives at <run root>/babysitter-checkout, which assumes f.run and the agent share a run root. If they don't, the step refuses and fails closed. The live run will show which.

Note

Medium Risk
New agent-driven fix flow with git checkout and patch generation touches credential handling and path/refusal rules; impact is bounded to the babysitter example until Cloud admits the fixer digest and implements publication.

Overview
Adds a standalone Babysitter fixer that addresses PR feedback in a checkout and journals a bounded babysitter-proposal (patch against the bound head plus neutralised inline replies) instead of pushing—aligned with sandbox push rules and the Cloud contract spelled out in FIXER.md.

Shared prelude: PR admission, scope, and “what changed” logic moves into admission.ts; the diagnose-only standalone.ts calls admit instead of inlining the same steps (standalone artifact digest updates).

Fix path: fixer.ts checks out the claimed head (fix.ts), runs one babysitter-fix agent with fix-mode rules and review comment #ids, re-reads GitHub, then builds the proposal. Hardening includes resetting .git before git runs, fixed diff flags, refused workflow/secret paths, size/file limits, NUL-delimited unquoted paths, and import() in scripts stringified for node -e (avoids bundler __require breakage). build-standalone.mjs now emits both standalone and fixer content-addressed artifacts plus tests/evidence.

Not in this PR: Cloud still must lift the proposal and publish commits/comments server-side (C1').

Summary by cubic

Adds the standalone Babysitter fixer, completing the second phase of the owner plan. It wakes on PR feedback, checks out the bound head, runs one agent to fix the feedback, and journals a bounded proposal — a patch against the bound head plus thread replies — instead of pushing. The sandbox holds only the run's read and comment token, per the cloud ruling that forbids push credentials in sandboxes; Cloud publishes the proposal as a fast-forward-only commit, with FIXER.md as the contract.

  • Extracts the admission prelude into admission.ts, shared with the diagnose body; the standalone artifact's digest changes, and inline-comment rendering now shows the comment #id.
  • Checkout sends the token as an HTTP header via GIT_CONFIG_*, never in argv, with hooks off; an existing checkout is fetched, reset, and cleaned in place for per-PR sandbox reuse.
  • Hardens checkout and proposal scripts against an agent-planted .git config: both replace .git/config with a minimal known config and remove hooks and info/attributes before running git; the proposal diff also passes --no-ext-diff and --no-textconv so the daemon never executes agent-controlled drivers.
  • The proposal reads changed paths NUL-delimited with core.quotePath=false, so a newline in a filename cannot slip a workflow path past refusal and Cloud parses back exactly the checked paths.
  • Proposals refuse workflow and secret paths, more than 50 files, patches over 36KB, and proposals over 50KB.
  • Replies go only to the inline feedback that woke the run, once per thread, mentions neutralised and origin prompt redacted; the fixer has no push, merge, review, or comment calls, which a test asserts.
  • Fixes a shipping bug where the bundler's rewritten require shim crashes under node -e; builtins now load with import(), proven by a test running the proposal function lifted from the shipped artifact.
  • The fixer calls f.agent with a literal cli/model pair per origin CLI, so the shipped-source audit passes unmodified: no waiver needed, and the fixer ignores the policy's agentCli.
  • Build, artifact, and shipped-source tests cover both artifacts, with the fixer's budget set to 1M tokens / $10.

Not yet exercised

  • Checkout has only run against a mocked f.run; the live run is its first real GitHub exercise.
  • Nothing publishes a proposal yet — Cloud does that server-side per FIXER.md.

…shes

F2 in the Babysitter owner plan (Revision 1, approved by the lead). The
fixer keeps only the run's read and comment token. It checks out the bound
head, runs one agent there with the origin session's scope, and journals
one bounded proposal: a patch against the bound head plus thread replies.
Cloud publishes the proposal server-side as a fast-forward-only commit;
FIXER.md is the contract. RULING-sandbox-push-0902 forbids push
credentials in sandboxes.

- admission.ts: admission prelude shared with the diagnose body, extracted
  unchanged; every standalone test still passes.
- fix.ts: checkout, using the token as a header, never in argv or config,
  and reusing an existing checkout. Proposal limits: 36KB patch, 50 files,
  50KB total; workflow and secret paths are refused.
- fixer.ts: the body. Replies go only to inline feedback that woke the run,
  are marked and neutralised, and the origin prompt is redacted.
- Builtins load with import(), not require(). esbuild rewrites require
  into a __require shim that does not exist under `node -e`. A test runs
  the function lifted out of the shipped artifact; it was mutation-checked.
- build-standalone.mjs builds both artifacts; the drift gate covers both.
- shipped-source audit: a call-exact waiver for "babysitter-fix", like
  #616's "babysitter-diagnose".

The agent can write .git in its checkout. Before this change, the daemon's
`git add` and `git diff` would execute an agent-planted external diff or
clean filter, with the daemon's token in the environment. The diff
settings could also change the patch format that Cloud parses. The red
capture shows the pre-fix code running both planted drivers.

Both scripts now replace .git/config with a minimal known config and
remove hooks and info/attributes before any git command. The checkout
script does this because a reused checkout's fetch carries the token. The
proposal diff also passes --no-ext-diff --no-textconv and fixed a/ b/
prefixes.

…oposal paths

- Remove the shipped-source waiver. The fixer now calls f.agent with a
  literal cli/model pair per origin CLI (claude/claude-sonnet-5,
  codex/gpt-5.6-sol), so the unmodified audit resolves both pairs. The
  fixer ignores the policy's agentCli.
- Restore tests/standalone-artifact.test.ts from #633 unmodified. The
  build prints "Checked sha256:<sha> (<name>)", which that test accepts.
  The fixer artifact and the no-__require check are in the new
  tests/fixer-artifact.test.ts.
- Read changed paths NUL-delimited, and diff with core.quotePath=false. A
  path git would still quote (quote, backslash, control char) refuses the
  proposal, so a newline cannot split a workflow path past the rule, and
  Cloud parses back exactly the checked paths.

Admission and live PR checks
examples/babysitter/admission.ts, examples/babysitter/standalone.ts, examples/babysitter/artifacts/babysitter-standalone.flow.ts, examples/babysitter/artifacts/babysitter-fixer.flow.ts
Shared admission logic validates policy and PR bindings, rereads live PR state, checks scope and actionable signals, and requires enforced write scope. The existing standalone diagnosis flow now uses the shared admission logic.
Agent task and bounded proposal

Agent tasks support diagnosis and fix modes. Checkout and proposal handling bind changes to the PR head and refuse unsafe paths or proposals that exceed configured limits.
Fixer orchestration and outcomes
examples/babysitter/fixer.ts, examples/babysitter/artifacts/babysitter-fixer.flow.ts, examples/babysitter/tests/fixer.test.ts
The fixer runs the configured agent, rechecks PR state before proposing, and accepts replies only for eligible inline comments. A proposal refusal requires human attention; an accepted proposal completes successfully.
Artifact generation and validation
examples/babysitter/build-standalone.mjs, examples/babysitter/artifacts/*.manifest.json, examples/babysitter/tests/fixer-artifact.test.ts, examples/babysitter/FIXER.md, examples/babysitter/evidence/f2-fixer/*
The build script generates and checks both standalone artifacts and manifests. Tests and recorded checks cover artifact hashes and flow validation. The documentation describes the proposal and Cloud callback contract.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a999e

The new fixer can submit half-finished changes when the agent times out. Under the documented publishing contract, it can also keep re-running on a pull request whose checks keep failing. Handle the timeout case and define the report marker and a run limit before merging.

🔴 Every nonempty proposal contains a truncated patch

When the agent edits a file, git() strips the patch's final newline. Git rejects the resulting patch as corrupt, so Cloud cannot publish the fix.

Learn more

The shared git wrapper trims every command's stdout. git diff --binary --full-index ends with a newline, which is part of the patch format; trimming it produces a malformed patch. git apply --check rejects a trimmed diff even though it accepts the original diff. The proposal builder sends that trimmed patch directly to Cloud.

Example: An agent changes src/queue.ts. Git emits a valid diff ending with +new line\n; the wrapper turns it into +new line. Cloud receives a babysitter-proposal, but applying its patch fails.

Recommended fix: Preserve exact stdout for the patch command. Trim only the SHA and name-only outputs that need trimming, and add an integration test running git apply --check against a nonempty proposed patch.

🟡 Review threads receive duplicate replies

When feedback includes two comments in one thread, threadReplies accepts a reply for each comment ID. Cloud posts both replies to that thread.

Learn more

readSignals includes both the comment ID and its root thread ID in each inline feedback item. Multiple new comments in one thread can therefore enter a.changed.reviewFeedback. This filter uses r.id as the deduplication key, so it accepts a response to each of those comments. Cloud is instructed to post every proposed reply to the GitHub thread.

Example: A reviewer posts root comment #11 and then follow-up #12 before Babysitter answers. Both have thread: 11. If the agent returns replies for #11 and #12, the proposal contains two replies to the same thread instead of one.

Recommended fix: Map eligible inline comment IDs to their root thread IDs, deduplicate on thread, and send at most one reply to an eligible comment per thread. Add a test with two eligible comments sharing a thread.

🟨 Short prompt excerpts survive proposal redaction

When an agent quotes a short line from a multiline original prompt, neutralise leaves that line intact. Cloud can publish the excerpt in the proposal's summary or replies.

P1 Badge Use each review thread's root comment ID

When actionable feedback is itself a reply, r.id is the reply's ID rather than the thread root retained as reviewFeedback.thread; multiple replies in one thread also have distinct IDs, so this neither enforces the documented one-reply-per-thread limit nor produces a publishable target. GitHub requires this endpoint's comment_id to identify the top-level comment and explicitly rejects replies to replies (GitHub documentation); use and deduplicate by the recorded thread/root ID instead, otherwise the server callback can push the patch and then fail while publishing its replies.

P1 Badge Recheck PR scope before server-side publication

If the PR is closed, gains a skip label, or loses its babysit opt-in after the flow's final readState but before the asynchronous callback, this contract rechecks only limits and the head ref. A scope-only change does not move the head, so the non-forcing ref update can still push a commit and publish replies after the owner opted out; the callback must re-read and require the same live scope immediately before publication.

P2 Badge Turn max-buffer overflow into a proposal refusal

When an agent creates a diff larger than 8 MiB, execFileSync throws while capturing git diff, before the later 36,000-byte limit can return babysitter-refusal. That makes an oversized edit fail the deterministic step generically instead of reaching the documented needs_human refusal path; bound the diff before materializing it or translate this overflow into the same refusal result.

Bound repeated fixer runs and identify the report head.

readSignals marks only the exact current head as reported, and admit declines only that head. The fixer wakes on both pull_request.synchronize and check_run.completed. If the report marker records the old bound head, a new head with failing checks can admit another fixer and create another commit. The contract's <head> placeholder does not identify which SHA it uses.

Use the new commit SHA in the marker and require a bounded per-PR fixer limit.

🐛 Suggested contract fix
-   - Post one issue comment carrying `<!-- babysitter:report <pr>@<head> -->`,
-     the new commit and the summary.
+   - Post one issue comment carrying `<!-- babysitter:report <pr>@<newCommitSha> -->`,
+     where `<newCommitSha>` is the commit created above, not the claimed
+     `baseHead`, and include the new commit and the summary.
+   - Before another fixer run starts for this PR, Cloud or `admit` must enforce
+     a bounded count of consecutive Babysitter-originated commits, or decline
+     while the previous Babysitter commit is current and CI remains red.

Do not propose a working tree from an agent that did not complete.

The fixer reads result.summary, but it never checks result.completionReason. The evidence notes that AgentResult resolves with a success or timeout completion reason. It does not throw on timeout. So a timed-out agent can leave half-applied edits in work.dir. propose then turns those edits into a babysitter-proposal, the run ends success, and Cloud publishes the partial change to the PR branch. The prose fallback in parseOutcome hides the problem, because a truncated final message still becomes the summary.

The fix: end the run needs_human without a proposal when completionReason !== 'success'. Also add a test where the mocked agent returns completionReason: 'timeout'.

Diagnose reports block later fixes

High Severity

The fixer reuses admit(), which declines whenever a <!-- babysitter:report --> already exists for the bound head. Diagnose posts that marker on success, so review feedback on the same head never reaches checkout or the fix agent. The stated F2 path is to wake on PR feedback and fix it; that cannot happen after a diagnose comment on the same SHA.

Spaced names break patch contract

Medium Severity

proposeChanges only refuses paths that contain quotes, backslashes, or control characters, so a name with a space is allowed. NUL-delimited --name-only keeps that name intact, but diff --git headers split on spaces and stay unquoted, so Cloud cannot recover the same paths the refusal check used.

Nested repos become proposed gitlinks

Medium Severity

git add -A stages an embedded .git directory as a gitlink, and .gitmodules is not in REFUSED_PATHS. A planted submodule can therefore appear in the proposal. Reuse cleanup uses git clean -fd, which does not remove nested git repos, so the plant also survives the next checkout.
