Descripción

Infraestructura del loop autónomo de issues: un workflow programado (3×/día) que coge un issue elegible del backlog, lo implementa headless con un modelo de OpenCode Go, lo revisa un segundo agente antes de abrir la PR, replica en local los checks requeridos, abre PR y arma auto-merge. Orca (desktop, local) supervisa con los prompts de .github/agent/orca/.

El loop queda desarmado hasta que el admin añada dos secrets (AGENT_GH_PAT, OPENCODE_AUTH_JSON) — instrucciones completas en .github/agent/README.md. Sin secrets, cada run cron sale limpio en el primer step.

Diseño de seguridad

  • Solo issues de autores en allowlist (repo público → anti prompt-injection); el cuerpo del issue se pasa como datos, nunca como instrucciones; los comentarios no se pasan.
  • PAT fine-grained sin scope Workflows: el loop no puede reescribirse ni bajo inyección; el picker excluye area: ci-cd.
  • persist-credentials: false + PAT solo en el env de los steps que hablan con GitHub — el worker nunca ve credenciales.
  • 1 PR de agente en vuelo (branch protection corre strict:false); do-not-rebase en toda PR del loop (lección 2026-06-13: nada pushea tras armar auto-merge); review pre-PR para no crear threads irresolubles (required_conversation_resolution).
  • 2 intentos fallidos → agent:blocked; fallos de infraestructura (quota Go, opencode sin output) no cuentan como intento; cleanup con if: always().

Issue relacionado

Diseño validado en la Fase 0: spike headless local sobre #717 (el worker detectó correctamente que #903 ya lo implementaba, terminó ALREADY_DONE sin tocar nada, y #717 quedó cerrado con evidencia).

Tipo de cambio

  • Nueva funcionalidad (CI/automatización; no toca código de producto)

Checklist

  • bash -n sobre el picker y parse YAML del workflow
  • Labels agent-pr / agent:wip / agent:failed / agent:blocked creados y registrados en scripts/setup-github.sh
  • No toca src/, frontend/ ni tests

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an unattended workflow to select issues, implement changes, run verification, and create pull requests with auto-merge.
    • Added monitoring, review, watchdog, and recovery automation for agent-generated work.
    • Added labels to track active, failed, blocked, and completed automation attempts.
    • Added operational guidance for configuring, controlling, and safely managing the automation.
  • Documentation
    • Added runbooks and prompts covering agent workflows, reporting, reviews, security boundaries, and troubleshooting.

Adds .github/workflows/agent-loop.yml: a scheduled workflow (3x/day) that
picks one eligible open issue, implements it headless with an OpenCode Go
model, has a second agent review the diff pre-PR, mirrors the required CI
checks locally, opens a PR and arms auto-merge. Safety: author allowlist,
issue-body-as-data framing, PAT without workflow scope, persist-credentials
off, one agent PR in flight, 2-attempt cap with agent:blocked, if:always()
cleanup. Includes agent prompts, issue picker, CI opencode config, Orca
supervision prompts and the operations runbook; registers the agent:* labels
in scripts/setup-github.sh and adds a no-MCP fallback note to AGENTS.md.

The loop stays disarmed until the repo admin adds the AGENT_GH_PAT and
OPENCODE_AUTH_JSON secrets (see .github/agent/README.md).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds an autonomous GitHub agent loop. It selects issues, runs an implementation worker, reviews and verifies changes, publishes labeled pull requests, tracks attempt states, and adds Orca supervision prompts and operational documentation.

Changes

Autonomous agent loop

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent contracts and execution policy
.github/agent/worker-prompt.md, .github/agent/reviewer-prompt.md, .github/agent/opencode.json, AGENTS.md
Defines worker and reviewer behavior, security boundaries, result markers, verification rules, OpenCode permissions, and fallback repository tooling guidance.
Issue admission and environment setup
.github/agent/pick-issue.sh, .github/workflows/agent-loop.yml
Selects eligible issues, validates startup conditions, claims work, prepares dependencies, and creates an issue-specific branch.
Implementation, review, and verification
.github/workflows/agent-loop.yml
Runs the OpenCode worker, handles DONE, ALREADY_DONE, and BLOCKED results, reviews changes with one fix round, and executes relevant test and quality checks.
PR publication and attempt state
.github/workflows/agent-loop.yml, scripts/setup-github.sh, .github/agent/README.md
Publishes successful changes as labeled pull requests, enables merge automation, cleans up attempts, and documents label-driven state transitions and recovery controls.
Orca supervision and reporting
.github/agent/orca/*, .github/agent/README.md
Adds prompts for daily reports, stuck pull request handling, watchdog checks, credential checks, orphan cleanup, and operational setup.
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 1c9e5

The workflow can expose credentials to the automated implementation process and potentially publish repository changes through attacker-controlled runner state. It can also publish stale fixes and become blocked by untrusted attempt markers or orphaned branches, so the PR is not safe to merge until these issues are fixed.

El pilotaje del agent loop se mueve al fork Santisoutoo/LexFlow para iterar sin necesitar admin aquí. Dejo la PR abierta por si quieres el loop en el upstream cuando esté probado; el fix del CI rojo de main (ruff nuevo + 4 CVEs) llegará en una PR separada.

Isolate credentials from worker-controlled processes.

Line 139 exports the OpenCode credential path to later steps. The worker runs as the same user with shell access. It can read auth.json.

A worker can also leave a Git hook or other runner state that executes when Line 309 runs git push with GH_TOKEN. This exposes the repository-write PAT.

Do not run credentialed operations in the same mutable execution environment as the worker. Use a hardened boundary for agent tool execution. Use a fresh checkout for publication. Disable local Git hooks for every credentialed Git command.

Also applies to: 309-309

Require a committed clean fix before the second review.

The fix-round worker output is not parsed. The workflow does not verify that the worker committed its changes or left the tree clean.

If the worker leaves edits uncommitted, verification runs those edits, but git diff origin/main..HEAD and git push omit them. The reviewer can approve and publish the older commit.

Record HEAD before Line 267. After it completes, require AGENT_RESULT: DONE, a new commit, and an empty git status --porcelain result before calling run_review.

Make attempt accounting trusted and complete.

The workflow treats any public comment containing <!-- agent-attempt --> as an attempt. Any commenter can add two markers and cause agent:blocked. The stuck-PR recovery path records no marker, so a red agent PR does not count toward the two-attempt limit.

  • .github/workflows/agent-loop.yml#L358-L365: count only markers written by the configured automation identity, or move attempt state to a trusted store.
  • .github/agent/orca/stuck-pr-prompt.md#L12-L16: record the same trusted attempt event before selecting agent:failed or agent:blocked.

Delete a pushed branch when PR creation fails.

If git push succeeds and gh pr create fails, no PR exists. This block does not delete the remote branch.

The next run reuses the same deterministic branch name. Its push can then fail because the orphan branch already exists.

Delete the remote branch when no PR is found. Keep the existing PR-close path for a created PR.
