mecris-pr-test

Pipeline skill for the Mecris accountability system. Dispatches the pr-test GitHub Actions workflow against an upstream PR, polls until complete, and reports results. The test pipeline itself runs pytest against local postgres and Android unit tests via Gradle — no Neon credentials needed.

When to Activate

• Orient found an issue tagged needs-test or pr-review referencing a PR number
• User says "test PR 141", "run pr-test for #142", "/mecris-pr-test 143"
• After a plan issue specifies triggering pr-test as the action

Slash Command

/mecris-pr-test <PR_NUMBER>

Runs the full pipeline workflow:

1. Dispatch pr-test.yml on yebyen/mecris with the given PR number
2. Poll the workflow run until status is completed (check every 30s, timeout 15min)
3. Report the conclusion — success or failure — with a link to the run
4. If successful, close any needs-test issue that triggered this
5. If failed, note the failure in the plan issue for archive to record

Usage: /mecris-pr-test 141 — dispatches and polls, returns when done.

Step 1 — Dispatch

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GITHUB_CLASSIC_PAT" \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ref":"main","inputs":{"pr_number":"<N>","upstream_repo":"kingdonb/mecris"}}' \
  https://api.github.com/repos/yebyen/mecris/actions/workflows/pr-test.yml/dispatches

Requires GITHUB_CLASSIC_PAT (repo scope). In bot context this is already in the environment. In human context source ~/.mecris-bot.env.

Step 2 — Poll

After dispatching, wait 10 seconds then fetch the most recent run of pr-test:

curl -s \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GITHUB_CLASSIC_PAT" \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  "https://api.github.com/repos/yebyen/mecris/actions/runs?per_page=5" \
  | python3 -c "
import sys,json
runs = json.load(sys.stdin)['workflow_runs']
pr_runs = [r for r in runs if r['name'] == 'pr-test']
if pr_runs:
    r = pr_runs[0]
    print(r['id'], r['status'], r['conclusion'])
"

Poll every 30 seconds until status == completed. Timeout after 15 minutes — if it hasn't finished, record as inconclusive and archive anyway.

Step 3 — Report

On completion:

Conclusion	Action
success	Report ✅, close any needs-test issue, note in plan issue
failure	Report ❌, link to run logs, note specific failing step if known
timeout	Report ⏱️ inconclusive, leave needs-test issue open

The pr-test workflow itself posts a detailed comment on the upstream PR. This skill just reports the top-level conclusion to the current session.

What the Pipeline Actually Tests

• Python tests: pytest tests/ against a local postgres:16 service container — no Neon credentials needed
• Android unit tests: ./gradlew testDebugUnitTest in mecris-go-project/ with JDK 17 — no emulator needed
• Merge: fetches the upstream PR branch and merges into yebyen/mecris:main before testing

Results are posted as a comment on the upstream PR by yebyen (the bot's identity).

Notes

• GITHUB_CLASSIC_PAT is required — fine-grained PATs cannot trigger workflow_dispatch
• The workflow run takes 3-8 minutes typically — polling is necessary, not optional
• If the workflow name shows as the file path (.github/workflows/pr-test.yml) instead of pr-test, there is a YAML parse error in the workflow file — do not poll, investigate instead
• One PR at a time — do not dispatch multiple runs concurrently
• The upstream repo defaults to kingdonb/mecris — pass upstream_repo input to override
