STACKED — merging lands on matt/be-14761-refresh-reviewers-inputs-docs-drift-test (owned by @mattmillerai, PR #298), NOT main. This PR is stacked on #298, which is itself stacked on #296 (docs/callers/refresh-reviewers.md). The file edited here does not exist on main yet — it is added by #298. Not ready to merge until #298 and #296 land; GitHub retargets this PR to main as each foundation merges. Review sees only the net diff.

What this does

Extends .github/refresh-reviewers/tests/test_inputs_docs.py (added by #298) with three new drift assertions, covering the surfaces a consumer actually copies — the same #31 / BE-4691 drift class the file already polices (a phantom input in the docs is a zero-job startup_failure for whoever copies it), pushed one level in from the Inputs table to the copy-paste examples.

  1. Fenced/comment with: blocks ⊆ declared inputs (test_example_with_blocks_are_declared_inputs). Both copy-paste callers this repo ships — the ## Caller fenced YAML in docs/callers/refresh-reviewers.md, and the # -prefixed example in the refresh-reviewers.yml header comment — pass inputs via with:. A new relative-indentation scanner collects the mapping keys directly under with: (skipping uses: / secrets:, which sit at the with: indent and end the block, and placeholder scalar values, which never start a line; for the header comment the leading # is stripped first so indentation is preserved) and asserts each set is a subset of the declared inputs. Subset, not equality — an example legitimately shows only a couple of inputs.
  2. README phantom-only knob check (test_readme_knob_table_has_no_phantom_knob). .github/refresh-reviewers/README.md's "Knob defaults (and why)" table is intentionally partial and uses combined-cell rows (| `top_k` / `floor` |) the existing TABLE_KEY regex correctly does not capture. Reusing documented_inputs(README, "## Knob defaults (and why)"), this asserts only the phantom direction (documented - declared == set()) — never set-equality, which would be permanently red because the table omits many inputs by design.
  3. Pin the guide's Default column (test_guide_default_column_matches_workflow). Both existing assertions are name-only, so the guide Inputs table's Default column could silently drift from the workflow's real default:. A new scanner pairs each input key with its 8-space default: line in refresh-reviewers.yml and compares against the normalized Default cell of the guide's ## Inputs table (strip backticks/markdown; ''default: ''; and the workflows_ref special case — required: true with no default, shown as — (**required**)), asserting per-input equality with a message naming the input and both values.

Each new scanner keeps the existing setUp guarding style — sanity-checked non-empty / still finding workflows_ref — so a parser gone quiet fails loudly instead of passing vacuously. Stdlib only, no PyYAML.

No CI wiring needed: test-refresh-reviewers.yml's paths: filter already includes .github/refresh-reviewers/**, and it runs python3 -m unittest discover, so the new methods run automatically.

Verification

  • python3 -m unittest discover -s .github/refresh-reviewers/tests -p 'test_*.py' -v53 tests OK (the 3 new ones included).
  • Falsified each new guard against injected drift on temp copies of the source files (tracked files untouched): a phantom with: key, a phantom README knob, a drifted guide Default cell, and a workflows_ref shown with a fake default instead of the required marker — all four go RED, confirming the checks are real, not vacuous.
  • Confirmed both example with: blocks resolve to {map_exclude, workflows_ref} (⊆ declared), the README knob scanner to {window_months, half_life_days, floor_min_touches, pr_branch} (combined-cell rows correctly excluded), and all 12 inputs' Default cells match the workflow.

Provenance

  • Authored by: agent-work loop
  • Verified: python3 -m unittest discover -s .github/refresh-reviewers/tests -p 'test_*.py' green (53 tests); each new guard falsified against injected drift; py_compile clean; diff is a single test file, +260 lines, additive only.
  • Deviations: Built as a stack on the unmerged test(refresh-reviewers): two-way input-vs-docs drift test for the caller guide #298 branch rather than waiting for it to land on main (per the standing always-stack directive — the file this edits exists only on that branch). See Residual.

…f cross-check covers it

refresh-reviewers.yml declares workflows_ref required-with-no-default but had no
docs/callers page, so the BE-6508 docs cross-check derived a page name from its
basename, found none, and silently skipped it. Give it its own guide and let the
cross-check bind.

- docs/callers/refresh-reviewers.md: new caller guide mirroring pr-risk.md's
  structure. Inputs table populated from the workflow's own workflow_call.inputs
  (window_months / top_k / floor / etc. — the real names), with the compliant
  no-default workflows_ref row.
- docs/callers/README.md + README.md: index the new page (README's Setup cell was
  a bare em dash precisely because no guide existed).
- check_workflow_pins.py + tests: reword the two comments that asserted
  refresh-reviewers is documented under assign-reviewers.md (a different reusable
  that does not declare workflows_ref) to a generic internal-workflow example, and
  add two DocsCrossCheckTests proving a reusable IS cross-checked via its own-name
  page.
Address the cursor-review threads on the new caller guide and the
adjacent catalog/comment edits (all doc/comment accuracy, no behavior):

- Scope the 'never force-reset' guarantee to a branch with an OPEN bot
  drift PR — the guard keys on that; a closed/merged/retargeted PR or a
  pre-PR branch is reset from the default branch.
- pr_branch: warn it is force-reset+force-pushed every run, so it must
  name a throwaway branch (default-branch equality is the only rejected
  value; every other pre-existing branch is overwritten).
- Qualify 'every comment is preserved': an inline trailing comment on a
  block-form list item being rewritten is not carried over.
- top_k is a target cap only when floor <= top_k (inputs unvalidated).
- reviewers.yml absent = silent green no-op, not a hard failure.
- Fork claim scoped to the recommended schedule/dispatch caller.
- Note there is no auto-bump fleet yet (pin bumped by hand) + record
  refresh-reviewers.yml in the deliberate-no-fleet table.
- docs/callers/README.md: refresh-reviewers now in the concurrency and
  scheduled/dispatchable-callers lists.
- check_workflow_pins.py + its test: correct the silent-skip comment —
  this branch is only reachable for a declared-no-default reusable with
  no own-name guide, not for bump-*/ci-*/test-* files.

…llers Inputs table

Two-way, stdlib-only drift check between on.workflow_call.inputs in
.github/workflows/refresh-reviewers.yml and the ## Inputs table in
docs/callers/refresh-reviewers.md, modeled on the cursor-review panel's
test_workflow_inputs_docs.py. Guards the BE-4691 failure mode (a phantom
documented input is a zero-job startup_failure for a copying caller; a
deleted-but-documented or added-but-undocumented input drifts silently) for the
new refresh-reviewers caller guide, which had no such pin.

Two sets only: the .github/refresh-reviewers/README.md knob table is
intentionally partial and uses combined-cell rows, so it is deliberately not a
third set. Both scans are derived, not hardcoded, and each is sanity-guarded
(non-empty and contains workflows_ref) so a silenced parser fails loudly instead
of comparing two empty sets. Auto-discovered by test-refresh-reviewers.yml; no
CI wiring change.
…arden its scanners

Address cursor-review panel on #298.

- High: test-refresh-reviewers.yml path-filtered only on
  .github/refresh-reviewers/** + itself, so a PR editing
  refresh-reviewers.yml's inputs or the guide's Inputs table ran zero
  jobs and the drift test never tripped. Add both parsed files to the
  pull_request and push paths filters, mirroring the cursor-review
  analogue.
- Medium: skip blank/comment lines in the workflow input scan so a
  4-space comment inside inputs: cannot trip the dedent break and
  silently truncate the scan.
- Nit: HEADING now matches h4+ (^#{2,}) so a #### subsection under
  ## Inputs terminates the row scan.
- Nit: read_lines tolerates CRLF; workflow_inputs aborts with an
  explanatory message when top-level jobs: is absent.

…EADME knobs, and the Default column

Follows the two name-only input/docs pins in this file with three extensions
covering the surfaces a consumer actually copies:

1. Fenced/comment `with:` blocks (guide ## Caller, workflow header comment)
   must be a SUBSET of the declared inputs — a phantom key there is a zero-job
   startup_failure for whoever copies the example, the #31 failure one level in
   from the Inputs table.
2. README "Knob defaults (and why)" phantom-only check: assert
   documented - declared == set() (the table is partial by design and uses
   combined-cell rows the TABLE_KEY regex correctly skips, so no set-equality).
3. Pin the guide Inputs table's Default column to the workflow's real
   `default:`, with the `workflows_ref` required-no-default special case.

Each new scanner is guarded non-empty / still finding workflows_ref, matching
the existing setUp, so a parser gone quiet fails instead of passing vacuously.
Stdlib only.

Documentation Drift Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation and YAML-like parsing
.github/refresh-reviewers/tests/test_inputs_docs.py
The test adds scoped Markdown and YAML-like parsers for sections, table cells, fenced examples, with: keys, and README knobs.
Input and default extraction
.github/refresh-reviewers/tests/test_inputs_docs.py
The test extracts workflow and guide inputs, rejects duplicate rows, and canonicalizes required and default values.
Documentation consistency checks
.github/refresh-reviewers/tests/test_inputs_docs.py
The test validates caller examples, README knob names, declared inputs, and documented defaults against workflow definitions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5daa1

Valid workflow defaults with quotes and comments can incorrectly fail documentation checks, but the impact is limited and straightforward to fix.

Address cursor-review panel findings on the input/docs drift test:

- Scope the guide with: scan to the ## Caller fences and the workflow
  with: scan to the pre-jobs header comment, and scan each fenced block
  on its own, so an unrelated block can't satisfy the workflows_ref
  anti-vacuity guard while the real example loses its with:, a stray
  step-level with: can't register as a phantom input, and one block's
  with: can't absorb the next block's lines.
- Parse the README's combined-cell knob rows (top_k / floor, min_touches
  / min_score) so those four knobs are still policed for phantom drift.
- Anchor the required-cell check on the '— (**required**)' cell shape
  instead of a loose **required** substring, so a cell advertising a
  default the workflow lacks no longer canonicalizes to required.
- Canonicalize an optional-no-default input to '' (its runtime value)
  instead of None, which the guide side can never produce.
- Strip an inline comment and cosmetic surrounding quotes from a raw
  default: (preserving the '' spelling) so ordinary YAML edits don't
  false-red the suite.
- Split table rows on unescaped pipes only, honoring GFM's \| so a
  Default cell containing a pipe doesn't shift every later column.
- Raise on a duplicate input row so two contradictory Default cells
  can't pass as long as the last one is right.

…tes on a quoted default

_clean_workflow_default checked for surrounding quotes before stripping a
trailing inline comment, so a quoted default followed by a comment (e.g.
`"bot/refresh-reviewers"  # pinned`) never matched the quote check and kept
its quotes, diverging from the guide's unquoted cell. Scan for the closing
quote first, treating anything after it as a comment.

Addresses a CodeRabbit finding on PR #299.
