Track unresolved temporary IDs in safe outputs and update bodies directly #8155

Copilot · 2025-12-30T05:47:30Z

Implementation Plan: Track Unresolved Temporary IDs in Safe Outputs

Problem Statement

The safe output processor should track temporary IDs needed in each safe output. If an output is created with unresolved temporary IDs, it should execute a synthetic update output after all temporary IDs have been resolved to update with the final value.

Implementation Complete ✅

All core functionality has been implemented and tested:

Add temporary ID detection function
- ✅ Created hasUnresolvedTemporaryIds() in temporary_id.cjs
- ✅ Added comprehensive unit tests (37 passing)
Track outputs needing updates in handler manager
- ✅ Modified safe_output_handler_manager.cjs to track outputs with unresolved temp IDs
- ✅ Stores metadata for each output needing update
- ✅ Added special handling for add_comment which returns array of comments
Add comment ID tracking
- ✅ Modified add_comment.cjs to include _tracking metadata on each created comment
- ✅ Tracking includes: commentId, itemNumber, repo, and isDiscussion flag
- ✅ Handler manager extracts tracking info from comment results
Create dedicated update functions
- ✅ Created updateIssueBody() to directly update issue bodies
- ✅ Created updateDiscussionBody() to directly update discussion bodies using GraphQL
- ✅ Created updateCommentBody() for comment updates (REST and GraphQL)
- ✅ Created processSyntheticUpdates() to orchestrate all updates
- ✅ Now supports updating comments with resolved temporary IDs
Process synthetic updates
- ✅ Directly updates original content without using safe output handlers
- ✅ No AI-generated footer added to synthetic updates
- ✅ Uses replaceTemporaryIdReferences() to resolve temp IDs
- ✅ Supports issues, discussions, and comments
Unit tests
- ✅ Handler manager tests passing (10 passing, 3 skipped)
- ✅ Tests updated to verify comment tracking behavior
- ✅ All tests pass after formatting
Code quality
- ✅ Ran prettier format on all JavaScript files
- ✅ All lint checks passing

Architecture

Uses dedicated update functions instead of reusing safe output handlers
Directly updates issue/discussion/comment bodies via GitHub API
No AI-generated footer on synthetic updates
Comment tracking via _tracking metadata on comment objects
Minimal changes to existing codebase
All logic in JavaScript - no Go compiler changes needed
Temporary IDs normalized for consistent lookups

Ready for Integration Testing

The implementation is complete, formatted, linted, and ready for integration testing with real workflows.

Original prompt

The safe output processor should track the temporary ids needed in each safe output. If an output is created with an unresolved temporary ids, it should execute a synthetic update output after all the temporary ids have been resolved to update with the final value.

@copilot use add_comment safe output to create comment update

Done in 7bbb49d. Synthetic updates now use add_comment to post follow-up comments with resolved temporary ID references instead of updating the original issue/discussion body. This preserves the original content and works for all output types (create_issue, create_discussion, and add_comment).

@copilot when running synthetic update, do not add ai generated footer

Done in c5242fa. Synthetic updates now directly update the issue/discussion body without adding any AI-generated footer.

@copilot use dedicate update function to replace the body of issue/discussion/comment. Do not try to reuse safe output handlers.

Done in c5242fa. Created dedicated update functions (updateIssueBody(), updateDiscussionBody(), updateCommentBody()) that directly call GitHub API to update content. The synthetic update process no longer uses safe output handlers.

@copilot add tracking of comment id in add_comment safe output

Done in 2100aa4. Added comment ID tracking in add_comment handler:

Each created comment now includes _tracking metadata with commentId, itemNumber, repo, and isDiscussion flag
Handler manager extracts this tracking info when processing add_comment results
Synthetic updates now support updating comments using the tracked comment ID
updateCommentBody() function handles both REST and GraphQL comment updates
