Detect Copilot Quota Exhaustion and Generalize Reviewer Tracking - #969
Conversation
pr_review.py's `wait` polled its full timeout even when nothing was ever going to land: since PR #962's explicit quota refusal, every later PR here (and on ptr727/Blog) drew zero Copilot activity at all, not even a refusal. - A refusal naming the account quota now gets its own digest field (`refusal=QUOTA`) and its own `wait` exit code (46), distinct from a generic refusal like a file count over the limit (41). - `wait` also reads the reviewer's own most recent activity elsewhere in the repo (reusing the existing bot-id-lookup query). Where that is an unanswered quota refusal, the poll is skipped outright and `wait` exits 47 immediately instead of burning --timeout; `--ignore-quota-signal` forces a full poll anyway. - `status` still reports this as absent (exit 0), since only `wait` is the command a caller would otherwise poll out a timeout on. Generalized past Copilot, at the identity level only, no per-bot prose parsing: - `unresolved` now counts CodeRabbit's and qodo's own open threads too, not only Copilot's; a breakdown prints once more than one reviewer contributes. Previously `unresolved=0` could hide a thread that still blocked a ruleset-gated merge (PR #915). - `other_reviewed=` names any of them that posted on the current head. - `other_rate_limited=` reads CodeRabbit's structural rate-limit marker (a literal HTML comment convention, not free text), generalized to any future bot using the same convention. 266 tests (36 new), ruff, ruff-format, and mypy all clean.

Qodo review on PR #969 (round landing 2026-08-24T16:28) raised six findings. Three are fixed here, three are declined with evidence from this file's own established precedent (replied on their own threads). Fixed: - The repo-wide history read ordered pull requests by CREATED_AT and read only the first (oldest) 20 reviews per PR, so a newer round on an older, re-reviewed pull request, or a PR with many rounds, could be missed entirely. Reordered to UPDATED_AT and switched to the newest reviews (`last:` rather than `first:`), with the windows now named constants (HISTORY_PRS/HISTORY_REVIEWS/HISTORY_COMMENTS) rather than inline literals. - The same read only looked at formal reviews, so a newer plain comment from the reviewer elsewhere in the repository could not supersede an older quota-refusal review the way `answered_outside_review` already lets a comment supersede a review for one pull request. `copilot_history` now merges reviews and comments into one timestamp-sorted timeline. - A handful of semicolons in agent-authored prose (CLI help text, a docstring, a test docstring), which the fleet's no-semicolon rule forbids. 268 tests, ruff, ruff-format, mypy, and prose_lint all clean.

- Around line 508-540: Update copilot_history to accept the current pull request
number and exclude entries whose number matches it before sorting or returning
results. Propagate that number from the wait/quota_signal call site so
repository-wide history only reflects other pull requests, while preserving
existing review and comment collection behavior.
- Around line 2171-2182: Update the signal message in the quota-signal branch to
read the normalized `_at` timestamp and describe the source as the most recent
activity rather than specifically a review. Apply the same `_at` and
generic-activity wording correction to the exit-47 message.
- Around line 2056-2062: Reject --ignore-quota-signal during argument validation
unless the selected command is wait, matching the existing checks for
command-specific options in main. Ensure claims, comment, status, and reply fail
explicitly instead of silently ignoring the flag, while preserving its behavior
for wait.
In `@scripts/tests/test_pr_review.py`:
- Around line 2425-2431: Update the fake query dispatcher to derive its
pull-request query match from HISTORY_PRS, which is interpolated into Q_BOT_ID,
instead of hard-coding “pullRequests(first:20”. Keep routing pull-request
queries to the prs response while allowing the matcher to remain valid when
HISTORY_PRS changes.
- Around line 670-675: Extend
test_rate_limited_by_reads_either_connection_and_names_no_untracked_login with a
payload where RATE_LIMITED_COMMENT is attached to a formal review, then assert
rate_limited_by identifies coderabbitai from the reviews connection and still
returns None for qodo-code-review, covering the submittedAt branch.
- Around line 2619-2630: Update the quota_signal test fixtures to match
copilot_history’s entry shape by including _at and _kind, and add a
comment-sourced signal case using createdAt. Ensure the assertions cover the
timestamp key consumed by wait and the exit-47 message, while retaining the
existing pull-request and generic-refusal coverage.

CodeRabbit review on PR #969 (round landing on head 9eeb050) raised six findings. Four are fixed here; one is declined with evidence from this file's own established precedent (replied on its own thread); one had no thread (a coverage-count observation folded into the fixes below). Fixed: - copilot_history() now takes an `exclude` pull request number and drops it from the result. The caller's own head is already read directly and outranks anything inferred repo-wide, so its own entries added nothing, and an actively pushed-to pull request otherwise sits at the top of its own history window and crowds out the pull requests the reading exists to look at. wait's call site passes its own number. - The two printed messages read `submittedAt` directly, which a merged comment entry does not carry (comments carry `createdAt`), so a comment-sourced signal printed "an unknown time" even with a real timestamp available under the normalized `_at` field. Both now read `_at`. - Added a reviews-connection test case for `rate_limited_by` (it read both connections already; only comments had coverage), a comment- sourced `quota_signal` case, and hand-built history fixtures now carry `_at`/`_kind` matching what `copilot_history` actually returns. - The test double's query matcher now derives from `HISTORY_PRS` instead of a hard-coded `"pullRequests(first:20"` literal. Declined: rejecting --ignore-quota-signal outside `wait` at argument- parse time would be inconsistent with --timeout, --check-grace, and --check-stall, three pre-existing wait-only options in this same file that are accepted and silently ignored on every other subcommand rather than validated against it. 271 tests (5 new), ruff, ruff-format, mypy, and prose_lint all clean.

The prior fix (exclude the current pull request from the repo-wide quota signal) applied its exclusion to copilot_history() itself, which also feeds the bot-id lookup for wait's auto-request. That regressed the auto-request: if the only extractable Copilot bot id in the 20-pull-request window was an earlier round on the current pull request itself, filtering it out of the shared history left the auto-request with no id to request with. copilot_history() is unfiltered again. The exclusion moves to where quota_signal is actually computed in main(), a plain filter on the already-fetched list, so copilot_bot_id still reads the caller's own history and quota_signal still ignores it. 272 tests (1 new), ruff, ruff-format, mypy, and prose_lint all clean.

test_the_current_pull_requests_own_bot_id_still_seeds_the_auto_request used ordinary review content for the current pull request's own history entry, which passes the same assertions whether or not the caller-scoped exclusion in main() exists at all: only a quota refusal on that entry would leak through as a false 47 if the exclusion were missing. Switched the entry to QUOTA_REFUSED so the test actually catches that regression. 272 tests, ruff, ruff-format, mypy, and prose_lint all clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Qodo finding on PR #970 (the develop -> main promotion PR, whose head is develop so this fix lands here first): the prior fix that excluded the current pull request's own history from `quota_signal` (PR #969) over- corrected. A genuine Copilot review on an *earlier* head of the same pull request, superseded since by a push, is real evidence about the account rather than a self-reference to discard, and excluding it could let a strictly older refusal elsewhere read as the newest activity instead. Reverted `quota_signal` to read the same unfiltered history `copilot_bot_id` already does. A refusal on this pull request's own current head still never reaches this signal: it is caught directly, at higher priority, before either reading is consulted. 274 tests (2 new), ruff, ruff-format, mypy, and prose_lint all clean. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Improved quota detection by considering prior Copilot activity on the current pull request. * Earlier successful reviews can now override older quota refusals when assessing availability. * Current pull-request quota refusals continue to receive priority. * **Tests** * Expanded coverage for quota detection and pull-request history scenarios. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
Copilot's review account has been quota-exhausted since PR #962 (explicit
refusal body). Every pull request since then, here and on
ptr727/Blog,drew zero Copilot activity at all, not even a refusal — and
pr_review.py waithad no way to tell that apart from an ordinary slow review, so itpolled the full 45-minute
--timeoutfor nothing on every call.What changed
Copilot quota detection (
scripts/pr_review.py):(
refusal=QUOTA) and its ownwaitexit code,46, distinct from ageneric refusal like a file count over the limit (
41).waitnow also reads the reviewer's own most recent activity elsewherein the repo (reusing the existing bot-id-lookup query, so this costs no
extra round trip in the common case). Where that most-recent record is
an unanswered quota refusal, the poll is skipped outright and
waitexits
47immediately instead of burning--timeout.--ignore-quota-signalflag forces a full poll anyway, for once thequota is believed to have reset.
statusdeliberately keeps reporting this as absent (exit0), sinceonly
waitis the command a caller would otherwise poll out a timeouton.
Generalized past Copilot (identity level only, no per-bot prose
parsing — deliberately out of scope for now):
unresolvednow counts CodeRabbit's (coderabbitai) and qodo's(
qodo-code-review) own open threads too, not only Copilot's, with abreakdown once more than one reviewer contributes. Previously
unresolved=0could hide a thread that still blocked a ruleset-gatedmerge (per PR Fix Review Findings From the Develop-to-Main Promotion PR #915).
other_reviewed=names any tracked reviewer that posted on the currenthead.
other_rate_limited=reads CodeRabbit's structural rate-limit marker(a literal
<!-- ...rate limited by ... -->HTML-comment convention,observed on
ptr727/Blog#110, not free-text prose), generalized so anyfuture bot using the same convention is picked up without a new
pattern.
