feat: advisory AI triage with pluggable backends + HTML annotations - #298
Merged
Merged
Conversation
SnapDiff::Ai: backend registry (register by name or inject), the one verdict(similarity) threshold function, and a shared result store keyed by screenshot name. SnapDiff::Reporters::AiSimple classifies failed comparisons as flaky/intentional/real_bug and writes the store; the HTML reporter annotates failures from it behind a defined? guard, so snap_diff_report.html gains an AI verdict badge and summary per failure with zero wiring. Default backend: offline CLIP (informers). Never changes pass/fail. Fork-parallel safe.

Reviewer's GuideAdds an optional, advisory AI triage pipeline with a pluggable backend registry, offline CLIP default, shared thread-safe results, JSON output, fork-parallel merging, and automatic HTML annotations, while leaving pixel-based pass/fail behavior unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The optional failure gate can miss a screenshot difference when a backend returns a non-finite score or a comparison is reused. A later backend error can also show an outdated verdict. Correct the gate paths before merging unless these bounded risks are explicitly accepted. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The optional failure gate can remain active after its reporter is removed or replaced with advisory-only reporting. Shared results can also associate a verdict with the wrong comparison. Advisory defaults and conservative error handling limit exposure, but policy ownership and result identity need attention.

if/elsif branches for the flaky, intentional, and real_bug bands, preserving the
existing threshold comparisons and outcomes.

the model available before offline diff analysis, either by providing and

rely on Informers.pipeline’s default network download on the first diff.
Review comments at @lib/snap_diff/reporters/html.rb:
- Line 126: Update the HTML reporter’s ai_annotation(name) lookup so AI results
are attached when render runs, after both reporters have recorded results and
fork results have merged; ensure existing failure entries receive the available
annotation and verdict badge.
Review comments at @lib/snap_diff/reporters/templates/report.html.erb:
- Line 273: In the sidebar badge template, restrict the class suffix derived
from item.ai.verdict to the known verdicts real_bug, intentional, flaky, and
unknown; omit the ai-* class for any other value. Keep escaping the displayed
verdict label.

Advisory mode: verdicts logged, summarized, badged in the HTML report, pixel diff still fails. Gate mode: flaky suppressed (suite green), real bugs fail with the verdict quoted in the failure message. Stubbed are only capture (file copy) and the backend (name-keyed fake) -- no model download, no network.
CodeRabbit round 3: - analyze_once memoized by difference object identity, not screenshot name: a later test asserting the same name re-analyzes, so a stale 'flaky' can never suppress a fresh regression - backend verdicts outside real_bug/intentional/flaky/unknown normalize to 'unknown', which the fail-gate never suppresses (AI::VERDICTS)

Summary
Adds an optional, advisory AI triage reporter: classifies every failed screenshot comparison as
flaky/intentional/real_bug, logs one line per diff, writesai_report.json, and annotatessnap_diff_report.html— per failure, an AI verdict badge plussimilarity · confidence · summary. Never changes pass/fail: the pixel diff stays the verdict; auto-accept is a userland CI recipe (in docs), not core.informers(ONNX, ~90 MB quantized, ~40 ms/image, no key). Absent gem → one warning, then silence.SnapDiff::Ai.register(:jev) { JevBackend.new }. Recipes for TypeSafe Jev (typed verdict + confidence + auto-accept) and Qwen2.5-VL/Ollama (one-sentence explanation) live indocs/ai.md, keeping core free of network code paths.Design (KISS)
A backend is any object with
#call(name:, base:, current:, meta:) -> Hash. The hash may carry:verdict(outranks thresholds) or:similarity(classified); all other keys pass through untouched.The HTML mix: both reporters share one store —
AiSimplewrites results intoSnapDiff::Ai(keyed by screenshot name),HTMLattachesSnapDiff::Ai[name]to each failure entry behind adefined?(SnapDiff::Ai)guard. Zero wiring, zero coupling:html.rbnever requires the AI module, and when AI isn't loaded the report is byte-identical to before. Fork-parallel merges results in the parent before render.Follow-ups (skip_area suggestion, grouping,
assert_ai_matches_screenshot) add backends or analyzers; no edits to these files.Why advisory-only
Percy/Argos-style AI-assisted review, not Applitools-style AI-powered diffing: a diff is evidence and evidence should be reproducible; a model deciding which failures count is an undebuggable black box.
