The AI review check on this PR must show skipped, not cancelled. /ai-review still runs.

Auto review does not start when the PR author is AlemTuzlak, tombeckenham, or jherr. The bot also uses grokBuildText('grok-4.6'), so it reads files before it posts a verdict.

Changes

createGrokReview() calls grokBuildText('grok-4.6') inside a local-process sandbox on the PR worktree. Workspace setup runs GROK_CLI_INSTALL_COMMAND.

Auto pull_request does not start for those three maintainer logins. shouldSkip also returns maintainer-author for roster authors. Manual /ai-review and workflow_dispatch still run.

Skipped docs site: this is repo CI. No changeset: no published package change.

Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.
  • Docs: I updated docs/ for this change, or this change is not user-facing.
  • Changeset: I added a changeset (pnpm changeset), or this PR does not change a published package.

Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Root cause

Issue. Auto AI review starts on maintainer PRs. The next push then cancels the run, so the check shows cancelled.
Cause. The job if did not exclude maintainer authors. concurrency.cancel-in-progress then cancelled the in-progress job. A !contains(...) check on author_association did not skip. Run 33402138884 still started for a MEMBER author.
Fix. The job if compares github.event.pull_request.user.login to the three roster logins. shouldSkip also returns maintainer-author from isRosterMaintainer.

/ai-review on #1278 also posted a first-turn plan as reject. grokText('grok-4.6') puts outputSchema on the same request as tools. This PR uses grokBuildText('grok-4.6') instead.

Possible alternatives

  • Skip with author_association OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR. Tried. The job still started on this MEMBER PR.
  • Keep grokText and set supportsCombinedToolsAndSchema to false. That uses a second structuredOutput call. The request is grokBuildText with grok-4.6.

Testing

  1. Commands run. pnpm exec nx run root:test:ai-review — 10 files, 68 tests passed. I did not run pnpm test:pr. I did not live-call Grok.
  2. Manual test.
    1. Open this PR. The AI review check must be skipped (see run 33402722829).
    2. Push another commit. The new run must also be skipped, not cancelled.
    3. After merge, comment /ai-review on fix(ai-bedrock): forward usage from Converse structuredOutputStream() #1278
    4. Wait for the job. It must run tools. The bot comment must not say it still needs to inspect files.
  3. How this PR makes testing easy. Unit tests cover maintainer-author skip and /ai-review from a roster login. The live skip is the GitHub Actions run on this PR.

Risk / rollback

The review job runs the Grok CLI against the PR worktree. Revert this PR to go back to grokText and to auto-review maintainer PRs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Automated AI reviews now use the Grok build workflow in an isolated workspace.
    • Added automatic Grok CLI installation and improved authentication and streaming configuration.
    • Reviews now safely skip pull requests from maintainers and certain trusted contributors when running automatically.
  • Documentation
    • Updated AI review guidance for the new workflow and skip behavior.
    • Added workspace installation failures to the troubleshooting information.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for maintainer-author review skips and related precedence rules.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The AI review workflow now builds @tanstack/ai-grok-build. The review runner uses a local-process sandbox, installs the Grok CLI, and invokes grokBuildText with streaming JSON. Automatic reviews skip configured maintainer logins and roster-maintainer authors.

Changes

Grok review migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI installation and package wiring
.github/workflows/ai-review.yml, package.json
The workflow builds @tanstack/ai-grok-build and skips automatic reviews for AlemTuzlak, tombeckenham, and jherr. Root development dependencies include the Grok Build and sandbox packages.
Review runner adapter and sandbox integration
agent-scripts/ai-review/run.ts, agent-scripts/ai-review/README.md
The review runner creates a sandboxed workspace, installs the Grok CLI, conditionally provides XAI_API_KEY, configures streaming JSON, and uses a PR-based thread ID. The README documents the new adapter and workspace setup failure cause.
Maintainer skip rules and validation
agent-scripts/ai-review/skip.ts, agent-scripts/ai-review/skip.test.ts, agent-scripts/ai-review/run.test.ts
Automatic runs return maintainer-author for roster-maintainer authors. Tests cover skip precedence, manual mode, fixture author overrides, and the absence of comments or git calls.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a20c6

The CI review job now executes pull-request-controlled code while supplying an external API credential, allowing an eligible contributor to alter review execution or setup and potentially expose that credential. This high-impact security risk should be fixed before merging.

Sensitive Data Exposure (CWE-200): Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Do not expose XAI_API_KEY to the workspace setup command.

The pull_request workflow executes the checked-out merge revision, so a PR can modify GROK_CLI_INSTALL_COMMAND. bootstrapWorkspace sets XAI_API_KEY before running that command, and the local-process provider passes it to the setup shell. Run installation from trusted base code or remove workspace secrets before setup.

GitHub actions/checkout pull_request default ref merge commit documentation

💡 Result:

When a GitHub Actions workflow is triggered by a pull_request event, the default behavior of the actions/checkout action is to check out the merge commit that GitHub has created for that pull request [1][2][3]. This is the commit that would result from merging the pull request branch into the base branch [1]. The actions/checkout action defaults the ref parameter to the reference or SHA that triggered the workflow [4][5][6]. For a pull_request event, this SHA points to the test merge commit created by GitHub, rather than the HEAD of the pull request branch [1][3]. If you prefer to check out the head of the pull request branch instead of the merge commit, you can explicitly set the ref parameter in your workflow configuration [4][5]: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 with: ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }} This ensures that the action checks out the specific commit at the tip of your pull request branch [5]. This behavior is intentional to provide a testing environment that represents the state of the code after the pull request is merged [1]. Using the merge commit allows you to verify that the changes integrate correctly with the target branch before the merge actually occurs [1][7].

Preserve the contributor trust guard for this secret-bearing job.

actions/checkout checks out the pull request merge commit by default. Therefore, pnpm ai-review executes pull request-controlled code. The runner passes XAI_API_KEY into a local-process sandbox whose source and working directory are the PR worktree. A newly eligible author can modify executed code and exfiltrate the secret.

Restore the previous author-association exclusions, or prevent pull request-controlled code from running with these secrets.
