Summary

The AI check that auto-approves pending commits only looked at the body and the image pixels. Poll options and image descriptions go public on approval too, so text that would be flagged in the body could be published unchecked by putting it in one of those.

Fixes #973

Changes

  • UpdateCommitAiDecision sends the body, the image descriptions and the poll options to both the moderation endpoint and the harmful check, separated by blank lines. A commit with only a body sends exactly what it did before.
  • One intended side effect: a commit with only images and a description now also gets the harmful check, since it has text.
  • Tests in ModerateCommitTest:
    • the combined text is sent to both checks;
    • a commit stays pending when only an image description or only a poll option is flagged.

Validation

Local, PHP 8.5.12, Postgres 18 with pgvector (pgvector/pgvector:pg18):

  • pest tests/Unit/Jobs/ModerateCommitTest.php tests/Unit/Actions/CreateCommitTest.php: 79/79 pass. The new tests fail without the change.
  • pint --test, phpstan and rector --dry-run on the changed files: pass.

Hosted CI not yet run.

Independent review

An independent agent reviewer (Claude), separate from the author, reviewed base 562a430 and head 75f16f0. Verdict: CODE: PASS. It noted that the input stays around 7.2k characters at most, and that every moderation path goes through this action. No UI change, so visual review does not apply. The reviewer did not run the test suite.

Limitations

Open PR #896 changes how images are collected in the same method. Whichever lands second will need a small rebase.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Commit moderation now considers the commit text, nonempty image descriptions, and nonempty poll-option labels together. Image descriptions are also used when the commit has no body.
    • When text in an image description or poll option is flagged, the AI decision is rejected and the commit remains pending.

The AI check only saw the body and the image pixels, so text placed in poll options or image descriptions went public on auto-approval unchecked.

Walkthrough

Commit moderation and harmful-text detection now check the commit body, nonempty image descriptions, and nonempty poll-option labels. Tests verify the text sent to both checks and rejection when flagged text appears only in an image description or poll option.

Changes: Commit text moderation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Combine commit text for moderation
app/Actions/UpdateCommitAiDecision.php, tests/Unit/Jobs/ModerateCommitTest.php
The action joins the body, nonempty image descriptions, and nonempty poll-option labels with blank lines. Both text checks use the combined text. Tests cover the request content and rejection when flagged text appears only in an image description or poll option.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #973 requires checks for all author-written text that becomes public. UpdateCommitAiDecision::text() combines the body, image descriptions, and poll-option labels with blank lines. The action sends this text to both moderate and isHarmful. Tests verify both request payloads and verify that flagged image descriptions or poll options keep the commit pending.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The production change is limited to the moderation input used by UpdateCommitAiDecision. The added tests cover the combined text and the required pending-state behavior. These changes directly support issue #973.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2.

Add a test for a description-only commit with an empty body.

The PR sends a commit with only an image description to the harmful check. No test covers that case. The new tests use the body Which editor?, and the existing body-less test has no image description. Reintroducing a body-only gate would leave every test passing.

Suggested fix
+it('runs the harmful check on an image description when the body is empty', function (): void {
+    Storage::fake();
+    Storage::put('commit-images/first.webp', 'first');

+        'api.openai.com/v1/responses' => reviewResponses(),
+    ]);
+
+    $commit = Commit::factory()->pending()->create(['body' => '']);

  • Adds regression tests for combined payloads and commits remaining pending when supplementary text is flagged.
File Description
