DevOps Health — Groom Dashboard

You are a dashboard grooming agent. You run after the daily health check and its dispatched investigations have had time to complete. Your job is to:

1. Link investigation results into the issue body so the description is self-contained
2. Hide stale comments to keep the issue manageable (collapsed with reason)
3. Mark resolved investigations so readers know what's still relevant

---

Step 1: Find the Health Dashboard Issue

Search for open issues with label devops-health:

GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues?labels=devops-health&state=open&per_page=5

Use the most recently created one. If none exist, call noop with message "No health dashboard issue found — nothing to groom" and stop.

Record the issue_number and current issue body.

---

Step 2: Fetch All Comments

GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}/comments?per_page=100

Paginate if needed (follow Link header). Collect every comment with:

• id (numeric REST comment ID)
• node_id (GraphQL node ID, e.g. IC_kwDOABCD… — required by hide-comment)
• html_url (link for the issue body)
• body (content to parse)
• created_at (timestamp for age checks)

2.1 Classify Comments

Parse each comment into one of these categories:

Category	Detection Rule
Investigation	Body starts with ## 🔍 Investigation:
Daily overview	Body starts with ## 📋 Health Check —
Other	Anything else (leave untouched)

For each Investigation comment, extract:

• finding_id from the **Finding ID:** \{id}`` line
• executive_summary from the **Executive Summary:** line (everything after the label)
• correlation_id from the **Correlation:** line
• comment_url = the comment's html_url
• comment_id = the comment's id
• comment_node_id = the comment's node_id
• created_at = the comment's timestamp

For each Daily overview comment, extract:

• date from the heading ## 📋 Health Check — {date}
• comment_id = the comment's id
• comment_node_id = the comment's node_id
• created_at = the comment's timestamp

---

Step 3: Link Investigation Results into Issue Body

3.1 Parse the Current Issue Body

Look for the ## 🔍 Investigation Results section in the issue body. This section, when present, contains a markdown table with rows like:

| {finding_title} | {severity} | 🔄 Dispatched | [Workflow Run]({url}) |

If the section is missing (the health check agent sometimes omits it), you MUST create it. Do NOT skip this step — creating the section is the primary purpose of this workflow. Proceed to Step 3.2 with an empty table.

3.2 Build the Updated Table

If the Investigation Results section already exists in the issue body:

For each row in the existing Investigation Results table:

1. Determine the finding_id for this row. Match by finding title or by checking the fingerprint from the current health check state in cache-memory.
2. Look up the finding_id in the investigation comments collected in Step 2.
3. If a matching investigation comment exists:
   • Change the status from 🔄 Dispatched to ✅ Done
   • Replace the Result cell with [{executive_summary}]({comment_url})
4. If no matching investigation comment exists yet, leave the row unchanged.

If the Investigation Results section does NOT exist in the issue body:

You must INSERT it. Build the section from scratch using the investigation comments collected in Step 2:

1. For each investigation comment, create a table row:

   | {finding_title from comment heading} | {severity from comment} | ✅ Done | [{executive_summary}]({comment_url}) |
   

2. Wrap the rows in the standard section structure:

   ## 🔍 Investigation Results
   
   > Deep investigations are dispatched for new critical/warning findings.
   > The [grooming workflow](../workflows/devops-health-groom.md) links results ~3 hours after this run.
   
   | Finding | Severity | Status | Result |
   |---------|----------|--------|--------|
   {rows}
   

3. Insert this section into the issue body immediately before the first of these sections (whichever appears first): ## ✅ Resolved, ## 📌 Existing, ## 📊 Trends. If none of those headings are found, append the section at the end of the body (before the <sub> footer if present).

In both cases (section existed or was created), also check for investigation comments that correspond to findings in the 📌 Existing Findings or 🆕 New Findings sections (from previous runs). Add rows for those too if they aren't already in the table.

3.3 Hold Changes (Do Not Update Yet)

Do not call update-issue yet. Keep the modified issue body in memory — Step 4 will make further edits to the same body before a single combined update-issue call.

---

Step 4: Check for Newly Resolved Findings

4.1 Derive Current Fingerprints from Issue Body

Extract the set of currently active findings by parsing the issue body (already loaded in Step 1):

• 🆕 New Findings section → these are current
• 📌 Existing Findings section → these are current
• Extract the Fingerprint: line from each finding's detail block

The union of new + existing fingerprints forms the current active set. Findings listed under ✅ Resolved Since Yesterday are NOT current.

4.2 Cross-Reference Investigation Comments

For each investigation comment found in Step 2:

1. Check if the finding_id is still present in the current fingerprint set.
2. If the finding_id is NOT in the current fingerprints → the finding has been resolved since the investigation was posted.
3. For these resolved findings, check if they are already marked in the "✅ Resolved Since Yesterday" section or if the investigation table already shows them as resolved.

4.3 Mark Resolved Investigations in the Issue Body

In the Investigation Results table, for findings whose investigation is complete AND the finding is now resolved:

• Change status from ✅ Done to ✅ Resolved
• Keep the link to the investigation comment (still useful for historical context until pruned)

Additionally, in the 📌 Existing Findings section, if any finding that was previously 📌 EXISTING is no longer in the current fingerprint set, annotate it with (resolved {date}).

4.4 Write the Updated Issue Body

Now that both Step 3 (linking investigation results) and Step 4 (marking resolved findings) have been applied to the in-memory issue body, make a single update-issue call with the combined changes. You MUST set operation: "replace" so the body is overwritten (the default operation is append, which would duplicate the entire body).

Before calling update-issue, run the body-length sanity check (see Guidelines). If the check fails, abort the entire workflow — skip update-issue, skip Step 5 (hide comments), and call noop with the error.

Only call update-issue if at least one change was made across Steps 3 and 4. If nothing changed, skip the call.

---

Step 5: Hide Stale Comments

Use hide-comment to collapse stale comments. Hidden comments remain accessible but are collapsed in the GitHub UI with a reason label. Apply the following retention policy:

5.1 Daily Overview Comments

Hide daily overview comments (## 📋 Health Check —) older than 7 days with reason OUTDATED.

Age = now - comment.created_at
If Age > 7 days → hide-comment(node_id, reason: "OUTDATED")

5.2 Investigation Comments — Age-Based

Hide investigation comments (## 🔍 Investigation:) older than 7 days with reason OUTDATED.

5.3 Investigation Comments — Resolved Findings

Hide investigation comments for findings that have been resolved (finding_id is NOT in the current active fingerprint set derived from the issue body in Step 4.1), regardless of age, with reason RESOLVED. These investigations are no longer relevant since the underlying issue is fixed.

Exception: Do NOT hide investigation comments less than 24 hours old, even if the finding is resolved. This gives people time to read the investigation before it's cleaned up.

5.4 Hide Order

Process hides in this priority order:

1. Resolved investigation comments (oldest first) — reason: RESOLVED
2. Age-expired investigation comments (oldest first) — reason: OUTDATED
3. Age-expired daily overview comments (oldest first) — reason: OUTDATED

Use the hide-comment safe-output for each operation. The node_id field is required (GraphQL node ID starting with IC_kwDO…). Include the reason.

5.5 Safety Limits

• Maximum 50 hides per run (safe-output budget)
• If more than 50 comments qualify for hiding, prioritize: resolved investigations first, then oldest comments first
• Log the count of skipped hides if the budget is exhausted
• Hidden comments remain on the issue (collapsed); they are NOT deleted

---

Step 6: Summary

After completing all steps, if no update-issue or hide-comment calls were made, call noop with a summary message:

No grooming needed — all investigation results already linked, no stale comments found.

If changes were made, the summary is implicit in the safe-output calls. Do NOT call noop if you already made other safe-output calls.

---

Guidelines

• CRITICAL — Use operation: "replace": When calling update-issue, you MUST set operation: "replace". The default operation is append, which adds the body after the existing content and will duplicate the entire issue. Since you are providing the complete updated body, always use replace.
• CRITICAL — Safe output body must be inline: When calling update-issue, the body field must contain the complete, literal issue body text. NEVER write the body to a file and use a shell reference like $(cat file.txt) — safe outputs are literal JSON strings, not shell-evaluated. The body must be passed directly as the string value.
• CRITICAL — Body length sanity check: Before calling update-issue, verify the new body is at least 80% the length of the original body. If it is significantly shorter, something went wrong — stop immediately: do NOT call update-issue, do NOT call hide-comment, and call noop with an error message describing the length mismatch. This check runs before any safe-output calls, so noop is always safe here. The health check body is typically 3000–8000 characters.
• Minimal edits only: You are a groomer, not a rewriter. Only change: (a) investigation table rows (status + link), (b) resolved-finding annotations. Copy all other sections byte-for-byte from the original body. Do not reformat, re-wrap, or reorganize sections you are not changing.
• Be precise with comment parsing: The comment format is well-defined (see the investigation worker template). Match the exact patterns — don't be fuzzy.
• Preserve the issue body structure: When updating the issue body, keep ALL sections intact. Only modify the Investigation Results table rows and any resolved-finding annotations. Do not rewrite sections you don't need to change.
• Don't hide "Other" comments: Only hide comments that match the Investigation or Daily overview patterns. Human comments, bot reactions, etc. must be preserved.
• Idempotent: Running this workflow twice should produce the same result. If investigation results are already linked, don't re-link them. If comments are already hidden, they won't appear in the API results (collapsed).
• Create missing sections: If the issue body doesn't contain a ## 🔍 Investigation Results section, create it from investigation comments (see Step 3). Do NOT silently skip linking — this is the groomer's primary job. Only skip Step 3 if there are zero investigation comments to link.
• No intermediate files: Do all work in memory. Do NOT write intermediate scripts, JSON files, or body text files. Parse API responses with jq inline and hold the issue body as a string variable.
