feat(ci): deep analysis for issue triage and thorough PR reviews
Problem: Issue triage agent was doing shallow classification without investigating the codebase. PR review agent only scanned diffs without reading full source files for context. Solution: - Issue triage now requires codebase investigation with root cause analysis (files, functions, hypothesis, confidence level) - PR review now requires reading full source files, evaluating logic gaps, naming, missing checks, and architecture patterns - Structured file_comments output with severity levels - Updated workflow comment templates for richer output - All security prompting preserved Testing: All YAML files validated

## Your Task
9190

91+
You are performing a **deep triage** of a GitHub issue. This means going beyond surface classification - you must investigate the codebase to understand whether the reported problem is real, where it likely originates, and what the probable root cause is.

## Your Task

### Step 1: Read the Issue

1. Read `ISSUE_INFO.md` in your workspace for issue metadata

1. Read `ISSUE_INFO.md` for issue metadata
9696
2. Read `ISSUE_BODY.md` for the actual issue content
9797
3. Read `ISSUE_COMMENTS.md` for conversation history (if any)
9898
4. Read `ISSUE_EVENTS.md` if it exists - it contains linked commits, close/reopen history
99-
5. **Check if the issue has already been addressed** by linked commits. If timeline events show commits that reference or fix this issue, set recommendation to `already-addressed` instead of re-triaging

5. **Check if the issue has already been addressed** by linked commits. If timeline events show commits that reference or fix this issue, set recommendation to `already-addressed`
100+
101+
### Step 2: Investigate the Codebase
102+
103+
**This is the critical step that separates useful triage from shallow labeling.**
104+
105+
Based on what the issue describes:
106+
107+
1. **Identify relevant files** - Use `grep_search` and `semantic_search` to find the code areas related to the issue. Search for function names, error messages, feature names, or module names mentioned in the issue.
108+
109+
2. **Read the relevant source code** - Use `read_file` to examine the actual implementation. Don't guess - read the code.
110+
111+
3. **Trace the logic** - If it's a bug report, trace the code path that would produce the described behavior. If it's a feature request, identify where the feature would need to integrate.
112+
113+
4. **Identify the probable root cause** - For bugs: which function, which condition, which assumption is likely wrong? For features: which modules would need changes?
114+
115+
5. **Check for related patterns** - Are there similar issues in the codebase? Does this affect other areas?
116+
117+
### Step 3: Classify and Write Output
118+
119+
After investigating, write your analysis to `triage.json`.

**A good triage looks like this:**
192+
193+
> "The reported NPE in session loading is caused by `Session::Manager::load()` at line 142, which calls `$data->{messages}` without checking if `$data` is defined. This happens when the session JSON file exists but is empty (0 bytes), which can occur after a crash during atomic write. The `_read_json()` helper at line 89 returns `undef` for empty files, but `load()` doesn't handle this case. Confidence: high."
