feat(agent-approval-check): detect agents by head-branch prefix - #53
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Add an optional agent_branch_prefixes input so a pull request whose head branch starts with a configured prefix is treated as agent-authored. This catches agents that open PRs from a shared account and commit under a configurable identity, without colliding with other automation on distinct branch prefixes. Defaults to empty (no behavior change for existing consumers).

Summary
Adds an optional
agent_branch_prefixesinput to theagent-approval-checkaction. A pull request whose head branch starts with one of the configured prefixes is treated as agent-authored, in addition to the existing author-login / commit-email / agent-review / >100-commit signals.Why
Some automations open pull requests from a shared account and commit under a configurable identity, which makes author/email an unreliable signal. A head-branch prefix is a stable, collision-free way to identify those pull requests when the account and branch conventions are distinct.
Behavior

python3 -m unittest discover -s actions/agent-approval-check -p 'test_*.py' -v(20 passing, incl. positive and negative branch-prefix cases)
