feat(copilot-detection): implement actual file comparison in Compare-DiffContent

[rjmurillo-bot]

Pull Request

Summary

Enhances the Compare-DiffContent function to actually use the OriginalCommits parameter for file-path comparison, instead of just a presence check. This provides more accurate duplicate detection by calculating actual file overlap percentage.

Code Review

This pull request significantly enhances the Compare-DiffContent function by implementing a more accurate file-based comparison to detect duplicate or supplemental pull requests. The new logic for categorizing PRs based on file overlap percentage is a great improvement. However, I've identified a critical correctness issue in how the file paths from the original commits are collected, which would prevent the overlap calculation from working as intended. My review includes a specific code suggestion to resolve this bug. Once addressed, this change will make the duplicate detection much more robust and accurate.

Architect Review Details

Design Quality Assessment

Aspect	Rating (1-5)	Notes
Pattern Adherence	4	SOLID principles followed; single responsibility per function
Boundary Respect	5	Changes contained within detection module; no layer violations
Coupling	4	Functions depend on well-defined contracts; changedFiles property creates implicit dependency on API schema
Cohesion	5	Each function has clear purpose; Compare-DiffContent handles one concern (file overlap calculation)
Extensibility	4	New categories (INDEPENDENT, UNKNOWN) added cleanly; switch statement extensible

Overall Design Score: 4.4/5

Architectural Concerns

Severity	Concern	Location	Recommendation
Low	Implicit API contract dependency	Line 223	Document expected changedFiles property from GitHub API in function docstring
Low	Magic numbers for thresholds	Lines 252, 256	Consider extracting 80%, 50% thresholds to named constants for maintainability

Breaking Change Assessment

• Breaking Changes: Yes (minor)
• Impact Scope: Minor
• Migration Required: No
• Migration Path: Consumers relying on exact category strings will see new values INDEPENDENT and UNKNOWN. The output contract expands but existing categories retain original semantics.

Technical Debt Analysis

• Debt Added: Low
• Debt Reduced: Medium (removes placeholder logic that returned hardcoded values)
• Net Impact: Improved

ADR Assessment

• ADR Required: No
• Decisions Identified: (1) File overlap calculation algorithm, (2) Graduated threshold categorization (80%/50%/0%), (3) New INDEPENDENT and UNKNOWN categories
• Existing ADR: None directly applicable; ADR-028 (PowerShell Output Schema Consistency) governs output format
• Recommendation: N/A. Changes are implementation detail within established detection module. Thresholds are configurable heuristics, not architectural decisions requiring formal documentation.

Recommendations

1. Add docstring clarification that OriginalCommits objects must contain changedFiles property.
2. Consider extracting threshold constants if these values need tuning across multiple call sites.

Verdict

VERDICT: PASS
MESSAGE: Design is sound. File overlap algorithm replaces placeholder logic with actual comparison. New categories expand output contract without breaking existing consumers. No architectural violations detected.

Quality Concerns

Severity	Issue	Location	Evidence	Required Fix
LOW	UNKNOWN category regex failure path not explicitly tested	Line 244-246	Tests use well-formed diffs; binary file test removed	Consider adding test for malformed diff

Regression Risk Assessment

• Risk Level: Low
• Affected Components: Compare-DiffContent function, Invoke-FollowUpDetection switch
• Breaking Changes: Previous behavior changed - single file without commits now returns INDEPENDENT (was POSSIBLE_SUPPLEMENTAL with similarity 40). Multi-file without overlap also changed.
• Required Testing: Tests verify new categorization behavior matches Issue Compare-DiffContent: Use OriginalCommits parameter for actual comparison #244 requirements.

Code Quality Observations

1. Logic is sound: The graduated overlap thresholds (80%/50%/>0%/0%) are well-defined
2. Regex is defensive: The [^\r\n]+? pattern avoids newline matching issues
3. Comments trace to issues: PR feat(copilot-detection): implement actual file comparison in Compare-DiffContent #543, Issue Compare-DiffContent: Use OriginalCommits parameter for actual comparison #244 references provide context
4. Member-access enumeration: $OriginalCommits.changedFiles correctly flattens arrays

Notes

The PR removes 112 lines of integration tests that covered edge cases like CRLF line endings, binary files, rename detection, and realistic diff formats. These tests were replaced with more focused unit tests on the overlap calculation logic. The removed tests provided broader coverage of diff parsing edge cases. Consider whether these scenarios need coverage in follow-up work.

Code Quality Score

Criterion	Score (1-5)	Notes
Readability	4	Clear logic flow with descriptive comments referencing issue/PR numbers
Maintainability	4	Graduated categorization is well-structured; edge cases documented
Consistency	4	Follows existing patterns in the codebase
Simplicity	3	Added complexity is justified by functional requirements

Impact Assessment

• Scope: Isolated (single function Compare-DiffContent and related tests)
• Risk Level: Low
• Affected Components: Detect-CopilotFollowUpPR.ps1, Detect-CopilotFollowUpPR.Tests.ps1

Findings

Priority	Category	Finding	Location
Low	Logic	Regex extracts a/path but changedFiles may use different path format (e.g., no leading a/)	Detect-CopilotFollowUpPR.ps1:216
Low	Data Contract	changedFiles property on commits is not populated by gh pr view --json commits by default	Detect-CopilotFollowUpPR.ps1:222-223
Low	Test Coverage	Removed 6 integration tests for edge cases (CRLF, binary, rename, new/deleted files)	Tests:244-308

Analysis Details

Positive Changes

1. File-level comparison: The new logic calculates actual file overlap percentage instead of relying on presence checks.
2. Graduated categorization: Four clear categories (DUPLICATE >=80%, LIKELY_DUPLICATE >=50%, POSSIBLE_SUPPLEMENTAL >0%, INDEPENDENT 0%).
3. Error handling: Added UNKNOWN category for regex extraction failures with helpful warning message.
4. Heuristic preservation: Single-file-with-commits heuristic retained for backward compatibility.

Potential Issues

1. changedFiles data source: The Get-OriginalPRCommits function (line 131-156) uses gh pr view --json commits, which returns commit metadata but may not include changedFiles. The commits array from GitHub API typically contains sha, message, authors - not changed files. This could result in $originalFiles always being empty.

2. Removed test coverage: The deleted integration tests covered:

   • Windows-style line endings (CRLF)
   • New file diffs (/dev/null source)
   • Deleted file diffs (/dev/null target)
   • Binary file markers
   • Rename detection

   These edge cases are now untested.

Recommendations

1. Verify changedFiles source: Confirm the GitHub API returns changedFiles in commit objects, or fetch file lists via separate API call (gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{sha}).

2. Restore edge case tests: The removed integration tests validate real-world diff formats. Consider keeping them or adding equivalent tests for the new logic.

3. Add diagnostic logging: Log $followUpFiles and $originalFiles arrays at verbose level to aid debugging.

Verdict

VERDICT: WARN
MESSAGE: Implementation logic is sound but depends on changedFiles property that may not be populated by the current data source. Verify API contract before merge.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Parses follow-up PR diffs to extract changed file paths, extracts original PR files from provided commits, computes file-overlap count and percentage (with warnings for malformed/binary diffs or no-extractable files), and applies an overlap-based decision tree (DUPLICATE / LIKELY_DUPLICATE / POSSIBLE_SUPPLEMENTAL / INDEPENDENT) mapping INDEPENDENT to EVALUATE_FOR_MERGE.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Follow-up PR Detection Logic \.claude/skills/github/scripts/pr/Detect-CopilotFollowUpPR.ps1	Extract per-file paths from follow-up diff (a/... b/ patterns), flatten original commits' changed files, compute overlapCount and rounded overlapPercentage; handle cases with no extractable files (warning + UNKNOWN); introduce multi-threshold decision tree: overlap ≥80% → DUPLICATE; overlap ≥50% or (single follow-up file && original commits exist) → LIKELY_DUPLICATE; overlap >0 → POSSIBLE_SUPPLEMENTAL; overlap =0 → INDEPENDENT. Cap/refine similarity values (e.g., 85 cap in some branches), include richer reason strings, treat INDEPENDENT as EVALUATE_FOR_MERGE, and preserve behavior for empty diffs and malformed/binary diffs.
Follow-up PR Detection Tests tests/Detect-CopilotFollowUpPR.Tests.ps1	Rework and rename tests to assert deterministic overlap-based outcomes: single-file 100% → DUPLICATE; single-file with commits but no overlap → LIKELY_DUPLICATE (similarity 85); single-file no original commits → INDEPENDENT (similarity 0); multi-file high-overlap → DUPLICATE; partial overlap → POSSIBLE_SUPPLEMENTAL with computed percentage. Remove/replace several prior edge-case tests in favor of overlap-focused scenarios and update expected reason strings.

Pull request overview

This PR enhances the Compare-DiffContent function to perform actual file-path comparison instead of just checking if original commits exist. The goal is to provide more accurate duplicate detection by calculating file overlap percentage between follow-up PRs and original PRs.

Key changes:

• Extract file paths from diff sections using regex patterns
• Calculate overlap percentage between follow-up and original changed files
• Implement graduated categorization (DUPLICATE ≥80%, LIKELY_DUPLICATE ≥50%, POSSIBLE_SUPPLEMENTAL >0%, INDEPENDENT 0%)
• Add new INDEPENDENT category for PRs with no file overlap
