On GitHub, eve already posts the final reply via message.completed. addIssueComment on the same thread produced a second comment on every @evlogai mention (#654). threadCommentPolicy now denies that same-thread write; a GitHub instruction fragment tells the model the channel post is the reply.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • GitHub thread replies are now posted directly as a single comment.
    • Progress on GitHub conversations is represented with an eyes reaction.
    • Commenting behavior now distinguishes between the current thread and other issues or pull requests.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented duplicate comments from being posted to the active GitHub thread.
    • GitHub comment approvals now respect the current authentication and write permissions.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance explaining GitHub comment behavior and duplicate-comment prevention.

The channel already delivers the final reply via message.completed. Calling addIssueComment on the same thread posted a second comment, as on #654.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds GitHub-specific comment approval logic. Matching or missing issue and pull-request targets are denied for GitHub webhook sessions. GitHub instructions and tests cover direct replies, alternate targets, Slack sessions, and snake_case identifiers.

Changes

GitHub thread comments

Layer / File(s) Summary
Thread-aware approval policy
apps/evi/agent/lib/github/thread-comment.ts
Adds threadCommentPolicy and helpers that validate issue and pull-request numbers, deny missing or matching GitHub thread targets, and use writePolicy for other cases.
GitHub instruction and tool integration
apps/evi/agent/extensions/github.ts, apps/evi/agent/instructions/github.ts
Routes addIssueComment approval through threadCommentPolicy. Adds GitHub turn instructions for direct thread replies and eyes reactions.
Policy validation and documentation
apps/evi/agent/lib/github/thread-comment.test.ts, apps/evi/docs/notes.md
Tests matching, missing, and different targets across GitHub and Slack sessions. Documents the duplicate-comment rule.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 69d03

GitHub replies on the current thread avoid duplicate comments, but comments intended for another repository can be incorrectly blocked when its issue number matches the current thread. Repository identity must be included before merge.

@github-tools/sdk 1.16.0 addIssueComment input schema owner repo

💡 Result:

In the @github-tools/sdk, the addIssueComment tool is designed to post a comment on an issue [1][2][3]. Regarding the input schema for this tool, it requires the following parameters [4]: - owner: The GitHub repository owner (e.g., organization or username) [4]. - repo: The name of the GitHub repository [4]. - issueNumber: The issue number to which the comment will be added (often represented as issueNumber or just number depending on the specific implementation context) [4]. - body: The text content of the comment. The SDK supports a working context feature, where owner, repo, and issueNumber can be omitted from the individual tool input if they are provided in the global SDK configuration or working context [4]. If these values are present in the context, they will be automatically used to populate the fields when they are omitted from the call [4]. For detailed usage, you can refer to the official tools catalog or guide documentation provided by the GitHub Tools project [1][5].

Include repository identity in the thread comparison. addIssueComment accepts explicit owner and repo values, while the configured context supplies only defaults. The policy compares only the issue number, so a request for the same number in another repository is denied as if it targeted the current thread. Compare repository identity with the issue number.
