Stacked on #1001.

The review prompt says to read every hunk, but nothing checked it. This makes submit_review check it once.

What it does

  • Tracking, per run. buildMapleToolkit gains an onAnswer hook that sees every successful tool answer. runChatTurn creates one tracker per review pass (chat/review-coverage.ts) and feeds it. The review_files children run on the parent's own handlers, so files a child read count as read.
  • What is due. From pr_changed_files: source, infra, config and test files that have a patch. From pr_file_diff: only the files whose diff header is actually in the answer, so a deferred path or a wrong path is not counted. The parsers live next to their renderers in pull-request.ts and are tested against the rendered output.
  • Re-reviews. A later push owes only the files its kickoff says changed (followUpScope in findings.ts, read back from renderFollowUp). If nothing changed, nothing is owed.
  • The gate. The first submit_review with unread files fails with the list (up to 30, then "and N more") and says to read them or call again. The second call is recorded. Close-out submissions and not_applicable verdicts are never held. The span gets maple.pr_review.unread_files.

Heads-up for #1001

The branch has a pending rewrite of renderFollowUp (range-diff wording). When it lands, followUpScope has to follow the new wording. The round-trip tests in findings.test.ts fail until it does. Until then a re-review would owe every file and be held once.

Testing

  • bun run --cwd apps/ai test src/chat plus the pull-request, llm-tools and findings tests pass (222 tests).
  • apps/ai and packages/backend typecheck clean.
  • Not exercised end to end: a real review_files child counting toward coverage (true by construction, since the children run on the parent's handlers).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • AI reviews now check that relevant changed files have been read before accepting a review submission. If files remain unread, the review is prompted to inspect them first.
    • Follow-up reviews focus this check on files reported as changed since the previous review.
    • Partial close-out reviews and reviews marked not applicable can still be submitted without this check.

…are unread

Track per run which reviewed files (source, infra, config, test with a
patch) had their diff returned by pr_file_diff, including through the
review_files children, which share the parent's handlers. The first
submit_review with files unread fails with the list; a second call is
recorded. Close-outs and not_applicable verdicts are never held, and a
later push only owes the files its kickoff says changed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds review coverage tracking for autonomous review turns. Successful tool answers update the tracker, and eligible review submissions are refused once when tracked files remain unread. Follow-up kickoffs and rendered file answers define the files in scope.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0b2b0

The new check meant to make reviews read every changed file currently backfires. The first time files are unread, the review pass ends and falls back to a partial close-out review instead of letting the reviewer read the files and resubmit. On pushes with more than 60 changed files, the extra files are never checked. Reviews are still recorded, so the impact is reduced review completeness rather than lost data. Both fixes are small and should be made before relying on the check.

Return unread-file failures to the model.

When the first submit_review call includes unread files, reviewTool uses default failure handling. The MapleToolFailure can end that completion pass before the model receives unreadRefusal. The autonomous runner then performs a close-out that can record only a partial review. Set failureMode: "return" so the model receives the refusal and can read the remaining files before submitting again.

 	failure: MapleToolFailure,

If the changed-file list is cut, return undefined instead of the first 60 paths.

renderFollowUp lists at most MAX_LISTED_CHANGES paths and then adds , and N more. followUpScope removes that suffix and returns only the listed paths. makeReviewCoverage then limits due to those 60 paths. Changed files after the first 60 are never checked on a large push, even though the kickoff tells the reviewer to review them. When the suffix is present, keep every file in scope. After this fix, update the "reads back the listed files when the list is cut" test in packages/backend/src/services/pr-review/findings.test.ts to expect undefined.
