Problem

A check rerun on an unchanged PR head could wake the agent with “All N checks passed” again after a pending read, including after reactivating a watch. Fixes #32276.

Change

Keep the reported pass and gate names through ordinary pending reads. Failed gates and workflow-approval holds still clear the report; new heads, newly joining required gates, recovery and owed advisory completion still wake.

For legacy watches with passed=true and passedChecks=[], adopt gate names only when the gate is passing. An incomplete legacy read leaves pending gates unreported so their eventual pass is announced. Main’s initial-baseline suppression and checksPending behavior are preserved.

Scope

One server-side notification bookkeeping fix and its evaluator/persistence regressions: three files, +101/−22. This qualifies for CONTRIBUTING.md’s small, focused obvious-bug exception; no maintainer approval is claimed. The common evaluator serves client and MCP watch entry points across providers and local/remote connections. No client, contract, permission, notification wording or routing changes. The separate rerun-identity policy in #34221 is outside scope.

Verification

At 3c1d9bdeccf27ca531d1e1145eed941e9716e7ad, based on upstream 97cfc07759fed2a67edef22de4370ed74ff40030:

• Before/after regressions: the extended legacy case fails on the original PR head (missing the two-check wake); both ordinary-rerun gate modes fail on main (duplicate wake). All pass with the fix.
• vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/pullRequestWatch.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts --project t3: 206 passed. Covers legacy initialization, gate growth, recovery, new heads, approval holds, owed checks, baseline/pending state and persisted rewatch behavior.
• vp run check:changed 97cfc07759fed2a67edef22de4370ed74ff40030 --concurrency 1: format, lint, both knip passes, GraphQL freshness, affected typechecks and 208 tests passed. CI owns the full suites and build.
• Deterministic replay loads the production original, main and fixed evaluators without mocking their logic. Legacy test=success/lint=pending → both success → reread produces zero wakes on the original PR, and exactly one two-check wake on main and the fix. Ordinary success → pending → success produces two pass wakes on main and one on the fix, in both gate modes. Failure recovery and a new head each still wake. Baseline reads remain quiet with checksPending=false → true → false; owed advisory completion reports all two checks once.
• Independent review approved the complete +101/−22 diff with no findings; 42 evaluator cases, 3 persistence/rewatch cases and 12 additional probe sequences passed.

Limits: deterministic evaluator and persistence/reactor proof; no live hosting-service rerun, real watch notification, GUI session or paid provider turn was exercised. No screenshots apply to this server-only change.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at e3f4876

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Preserves reported check passes through pending reruns so unchanged PR heads do not trigger duplicate agent wakes. Failure recovery, new-head notifications and owed advisory-completion updates remain supported, with risk limited to watch notification bookkeeping.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 4fdb8

This change stops repeated "checks passed" notifications on reruns. One narrow edge case remains for previously saved watches, where a newly joined required check might not produce its own pass notification. Consider fixing it before merge, but the impact is bounded.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The directly linked active issue is [#32276]. evaluatePullRequestWatch now retains passed and passedChecks during pending reads and rewatching. A failed gate clears the saved pass. A new head reports again. Required-check growth still reports. Owed advisory checks remain available during a required-check rerun, and the final wake reports all settled checks. Focused tests cover required and non-required gates, failure and recovery, new heads, saved watches, required-check growth, and owed checks.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reported changes are limited to pullRequestWatch.ts and focused tests in pullRequestWatch.test.ts and runtimeLayer.test.ts. The implementation and test updates directly support [#32276]. No unrelated client, provider, transport, permission, contract, model-facing text, or documentation changes are reported. The runtime-layer diff was unavailable for direct inspection, but the supplied pull request evidence identifies its focused pass-state test change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, the change, scope, and verification, and it follows the repository template. It states the problem (a repeated "All N checks passed" wake after a pending read), the fix (keep the reported pass and gate names through pending reads, while failed gates still clear the report), and the link to issue #32276. The Verification section lists focused test runs, a repo check run, and a before/after evaluator replay, and it states what was not exercised (no live hosting-service rerun, no GUI session). The scope section explains why the change is an obvious-bug fix without a maintainer request. The description also discloses a known limitation: a restored legacy watch with passed=true and passedChecks=[] can miss a newly joining required check, and the author says this needs rework before modernization. That limitation is material and unresolved, but the description is complete and accurate about it. The template's requirement to end with the model and harness is met. The description is mostly complete, so this check passes.

148-174: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Fold the new failure statuses into the existing passed-check tests.

The it.each block at lines 148-174 repeats the pending-read, repeat-green, and failure-recovery steps already asserted at lines 116-146 and 223-238. Only the cancelled and action-required statuses and the required: false pending-read path are new.

Add the cancelled and action-required statuses as rows or assertions in the existing failure test at lines 223-238. Add the required: false pending-read sequence as an assertion in the existing passed-check test at lines 116-146. Then remove the parameterized block.

Keeping the focused pending-rerun table from CodeRabbit’s nitpick. The existing passed-check case covers a newly joining required gate, and the existing failure case covers an advisory failure after the required gate already passed. They exercise different transitions from a previously reported gate rerunning unchanged, or losing its pass through failure, cancellation, or action-required. The two gate-mode rows keep those regression and recovery assertions together without changing the production fix. No code change is needed for this suggestion.

Merged current main (merge commit, no rebase) to clear the conflict with #24599's workflow-approval handling in pullRequestWatch.ts.

• Conflict: kept this PR's owed = passed ? ... and applied it to main's new placeholder-filtered checks list.
• action-required is no longer a failure on main (it now means awaiting approval), so the failure loop in the new pending-rerun test covers failure and cancelled only.
• Main's "does not pass or fail while the host cannot tell whether workflows await approval" test asserted the old behavior this PR removes: a pending rerun after a pass, then green again, re-announced the pass. That step now expects no repeat, matching this PR's intent.

CodeRabbit's nitpick to fold the parameterized test into the existing cases is left as is: it is a test-layout preference, and the contributor's reply covers why.

Verified: vp run check:changed (format, lint, knip, typecheck, pullRequestWatch.test.ts + runtimeLayer.test.ts + AgentContextBudget.test.ts, 149 tests) passes on the merge.

preserve pending gates in the baseline so a newly joined gate is detected and

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the reviewers still had findings after 3 rounds (the work is on main...t3/dedupe-passed-check-notifications):

1. [major] apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/pullRequestWatch.ts:117: Worse than main: legacy-watch initialization records a newly joined pending required check as already reported. Its later success produces no notification. Confirmed by executing both evaluators: origin/main emits checks-passed with count 2; this head emits nothing.
   Fails with: An upgraded server restores a supported legacy watch with passed=true, passedChecks=[] (the schema's decoding default), and the current head SHA. The next read contains required test=success and newly joined required lint=pending. This head saves passedChecks=[test,lint]. When lint becomes success on the same head, gateGrew=false and no wake occurs. Extend the existing legacy-watch test with lint present during the pending read; its current added sequence introduces lint only afterward and misses this failure.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
