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
91
90
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.
92

3. Read `ISSUE_COMMENTS.md` for conversation history (if any)
98

4. Read `ISSUE_EVENTS.md` if it exists - it contains linked commits, close/reopen history

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

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`.

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."
