Add issue duplicate checker workflow

[enyst]

Summary

• add the OpenHands Cloud issue duplicate checker workflow for newly opened issues, scheduled auto-close, and manual dispatch
• add duplicate-candidate label removal on human issue comments
• use the shared OpenHands/extensions/plugins/issue-duplicate-checker@main action

Depends on OpenHands/extensions#283 landing first so the shared action exists on main.

Verification

• parsed new workflow YAML with PyYAML

🟡 Acceptable — The workflows are well-structured with good concurrency controls and a clean three-mode design, but there are a few correctness and security issues worth addressing before merge.

---

[CRITICAL ISSUES]

• [.github/workflows/issue-duplicate-checker.yml, Line 60] Correctness: inputs.issue_number != null does not work as intended. In GitHub Actions, an unfilled workflow_dispatch input of type number evaluates to '' (empty string), not JSON null. As written, '' != null evaluates to true, meaning the issue-duplicate-check job can be triggered in issue-check mode without a valid issue number — the action will receive an empty string and likely fail at runtime. Change to inputs.issue_number != '' (or simply inputs.issue_number).

[IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES]

• [.github/workflows/issue-duplicate-checker.yml, Lines 68 & 88; .github/workflows/remove-duplicate-candidate-label.yml, Line 27] Supply Chain / Pinning: All three steps use OpenHands/extensions/plugins/issue-duplicate-checker@main. Pinning to a mutable branch ref means any breaking change (or a compromised push) to main immediately affects every repo running this workflow with no review gate. Pin to a specific commit SHA (e.g. @abc1234) or a tagged release and update it via a controlled PR. This is standard practice for third-party/composite Actions that touch secrets (OPENHANDS_API_KEY, OPENHANDS_BOT_GITHUB_PAT_PUBLIC).

• [.github/workflows/issue-duplicate-checker.yml, Lines 39–40] Redundant step: The smoke-clone job runs actions/checkout@v6 and then immediately does a manual git clone to /tmp/repo-clone. The checkout step populates $GITHUB_WORKSPACE but nothing else in the job uses it — the manual clone is the actual smoke test. Removing the actions/checkout step eliminates one unnecessary step and any GITHUB_TOKEN credential exposure.

[TESTING GAPS]

• [PR description] Weak Evidence: The stated verification ("parsed new workflow YAML with PyYAML") confirms the file is syntactically valid YAML, not that any workflow path executes correctly end-to-end. A smoke-clone dispatch run or a test issue-check run against a real or mock issue would provide meaningful evidence. Consider running workflow_dispatch with mode: smoke-clone after merge to confirm the reusable action resolves properly once OpenHands/extensions#283 lands.

[RISK ASSESSMENT]

• [Overall PR] ⚠️ Risk Assessment: 🟡 MEDIUM
  This PR introduces two new event-triggered workflows that use a mutable @main action reference and hold repo secrets (OPENHANDS_API_KEY, bot PAT). The inputs.issue_number != null bug means mode: issue-check dispatches without an issue number will silently misbehave. Risk is elevated above Low due to the pinning gap and the correctness issue on the dispatch path; no existing workflow behavior is broken.

VERDICT: ❌ Needs rework — The inputs.issue_number != null check is a real bug that should be fixed, and the mutable @main pin is a meaningful security/stability concern. Both are straightforward one-line fixes.

KEY INSIGHT: The three-mode workflow_dispatch design is clean, but the null-check for the optional issue_number input uses a comparison that never triggers as intended in GitHub Actions expression syntax.

@all-hands-bot Addressed the requested changes in 6f6a94f: fixed the workflow_dispatch issue-number guard, removed the redundant smoke-clone checkout, and pinned all duplicate-checker action invocations to full extensions SHA fb020c71eb8e7cd2678f0251ab24327d3738da7d. CI is green and all review threads are resolved. Could you review again?

Review

All three issues flagged in the previous review have been correctly resolved in the current HEAD:

1. ✅ Null-check corrected — inputs.issue_number != '' correctly guards the issue-check dispatch path; the empty-string comparison is right for how GitHub Actions evaluates unfilled number inputs.
2. ✅ Redundant actions/checkout removed — smoke-clone now runs only the explicit git clone, eliminating unnecessary GITHUB_TOKEN credential exposure.
3. ✅ SHA-pinned action refs — all three action uses are now pinned to fb020c71eb8e7cd2678f0251ab24327d3738da7d instead of the mutable @main ref.

The overall design is clean: three well-separated jobs with precise triggering conditions, correct concurrency groups (all cancel-in-progress: false, which is right for side-effectful operations), and minimal RBAC (contents: read, issues: write). The remove-duplicate-candidate-label.yml guard conditions are thorough — correctly excluding bot comments and both OpenHands HTML comment markers (<!-- openhands-duplicate-check and <!-- openhands-duplicate-veto).

---

[IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES] (non-blocking)

• Missing timeout-minutes in smoke-clone — git clone --depth 1 should complete in seconds. Without an explicit timeout the job inherits GitHub’s 6-hour default, so a transient network hang won’t surface for hours. timeout-minutes: 5 is appropriate. (See inline note.)

• Missing timeout-minutes in remove-duplicate-candidate-label.yml — label removal is a single API call. Similarly, timeout-minutes: 10 would make runaway/hung runs visible quickly. (See inline note.)

• Smoke-clone summary missing HEAD SHA — echo "Repository HEAD: $(git -C /tmp/repo-clone rev-parse --short HEAD)" outputs to stdout but not to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY. Moving that line into the heredoc block would make the run annotation include the actual commit validated.

---

[TESTING GAPS]

• The stated verification (“parsed new workflow YAML with PyYAML”) confirms syntactic validity only. Running workflow_dispatch with mode: smoke-clone after the dependency (OpenHands/extensions#283) lands is the meaningful smoke test. Consider adding a checklist item to block merge until that dispatch run completes successfully.

---

[RISK ASSESSMENT]

• [Overall PR] ⚠️ Risk Assessment: 🟢 LOW — All previously flagged correctness and supply-chain concerns have been addressed. The pinned SHA and corrected empty-string guard eliminate the prior medium-risk issues. The remaining suggestions are defensive/cosmetic; no blocking concerns remain.
• The primary operational dependency — OpenHands/extensions#283 landing so the pinned SHA is reachable from main — is correctly documented in the PR description.

VERDICT: ✅ Worth merging — Core logic is sound. The three-mode dispatch design is clean, concurrency handling is correct, and all prior review findings have been resolved. Minor timeout and summary improvements are good-to-have but not blocking.

KEY INSIGHT: The workflow correctly separates the AI-powered duplicate-detection path (issue-duplicate-check, timeout 35 min, OPENHANDS_API_KEY) from the fast housekeeping paths (auto-close and remove-label, GitHub token only) — exactly the right separation of concerns for cost and permission scoping.

---

Design observations (informational, non-blocking)

Workflow-level permissions apply to all jobs. issue-duplicate-checker.yml sets contents: read, issues: write at the workflow level. The smoke-clone job (which only does git clone --depth 1 via HTTPS) doesn't need contents: read from the token and certainly not issues: write. Per-job permissions: overrides would be the strictest posture, but this is cosmetic for a workflow_dispatch-only job.

close_after_days default of 3 is intentional and reasonable. Worth noting for future operators: teams sometimes prefer 7 days for newly-opened issues, but this can be overridden at dispatch time.

Dependency gating. The PR correctly documents that OpenHands/extensions#283 must land before the pinned SHA fb020c71eb8e7cd2678f0251ab24327d3738da7d is reachable on main. Merging this PR before that dependency lands will cause all three uses: steps to fail at runtime. Consider adding a merge blocker (label or branch protection rule) until the dependency is confirmed merged.

---

Risk Assessment

🟢 LOW — All critical and improvement items have been resolved. The three-mode dispatch design is clean, concurrency handling is correct (cancel-in-progress: false on all side-effectful jobs), permissions are scoped appropriately (contents: read, issues: write), and all action refs are SHA-pinned. The only remaining operational prerequisite is the upstream OpenHands/extensions#283 dependency.

VERDICT: ✅ Approved — Ready to merge once the OpenHands/extensions#283 dependency lands and the smoke-clone dispatch has been validated post-merge.
