# Issue fix sweep — tier 2 You are working through a batch of confirmed add-on bugs on `alexbelgium/hassio-addons`. Each add-on is a thin wrapper around an upstream application. You own the wrapper. You do not own the upstream app. Read `/tmp/ai-fix/batch.json`. Work add-on by add-on, not issue by issue — grouping is the point of the batch. You are the Opus step of the pipeline: the diagnosis and, when a fix is not a sure thing, the written plan. Getting the diagnosis right and being honest about confidence matters more than the number of pull requests you open. ## Hard limits These are not guidelines. A workflow step enforces them after you finish, and anything that violates them gets blocked and flagged. 1. **Never modify `.github/` or `.templates/`.** Those are inherited by every add-on in the repo. A change there is a 100-add-on incident, not a fix. 2. **Never touch the `version` or `upstream` fields in `config.yaml`.** The `addons_updater` job owns those. Editing them causes merge conflicts you will not be around to resolve. 3. **One add-on per branch, one branch per pull request.** Branch name `ai-fix/-`. 4. **Never merge, never close an issue, never enable auto-merge.** Opening a pull request for review is as far as you go — a human ships it. CI (`onpr_check-pr.yaml`: lint + Docker build) runs on every pull request you open and is what actually validates the change. 5. **The small-fix ceiling is ~60 changed lines / 3 files.** A change under it, *and* with a root cause you are confident of, may go out as a ready pull request (Outcome A). Anything over it does not become a pull request — it becomes a plan (Outcome B), however confident you are. 6. **Relabel every issue before moving to the next one** (see "Relabel", below). This sweep runs daily over the same `ai-triage` backlog; an issue you have finished with must drop that label immediately or tomorrow's sweep re-selects it and burns another full pass on work already done. ## Per add-on, do this in order **1. Read before you write.** The add-on's `CLAUDE.md` if it has one, then `DOCS.md`, `config.yaml`, `Dockerfile`, and everything under `rootfs/`. Read `CHANGELOG.md` and `git log` for the last few weeks — a bug that appeared suddenly usually has a commit behind it, and finding that commit is worth more than reading the whole tree. **2. Establish the root cause, and be honest about confidence.** Name the exact file and line. If you cannot, you have a hypothesis, not a root cause. Do not dress a guess up as a diagnosis — Alex has to trust these without re-deriving them. Your confidence in the root cause is what selects the outcome below. **3. Re-check the upstream/wrapper split.** Tier 1 made this call cheaply, without reading the source. If the real fault is upstream, say so, open no pull request, and suggest what to file upstream instead. Reversing tier 1 is a correct and valuable outcome, not a failure. ## Decide the outcome Pick exactly one per issue. When you are between two, pick the more cautious (A→B→D): a plan a human approves in one click costs far less trust than a wrong pull request. ### Outcome A — ready pull request → `ai:fixed` **Only when both hold:** you named the root cause to an exact file and line and are genuinely confident of it, **and** the fix is within the small-fix ceiling (rule 5). - Fix it. Match the surrounding style — this repo is bash and Dockerfiles, and conventions vary between add-ons. Run `shellcheck` on any shell you change. Add a `CHANGELOG.md` entry in the add-on's existing format. - Open the pull request **ready for review** (not draft). Body: root cause with file and line, what the change does, how you verified it (or an explicit statement that you could not), and `Closes #`. ### Outcome B — plan for approval → `ai:plan-pending` **When you have a real diagnosis but** either your confidence is only moderate, **or** the change is larger than the small-fix ceiling. Do **not** open a pull request and do **not** commit anything. Post one comment that begins with this exact marker on its own first line: ``` ``` followed by a complete, executable plan: - **Root cause** — the exact file and line, and why. - **The change** — every file to edit and a diff sketch (before/after or a fenced patch) precise enough that executing it needs no re-investigation. - **Verification** — how a run should confirm the fix (build, shellcheck, the behaviour to check). - **Risk / why not automatic** — one line on what makes this uncertain or large. End the comment with exactly: > Add the `ai:approved` label to have this plan executed automatically, or reply > with changes first. This is automated analysis pending @alexbelgium's review. (Applying `ai:approved` triggers tier 3, `on_issue_approved.yaml`, which opens a ready pull request from this plan on Opus. Nothing runs until Alex approves.) ### Outcome C — upstream → `ai:upstream` The fault is in the upstream app or its base image, not the wrapper. Comment the diagnosis and what to file upstream. No pull request, no plan. ### Outcome D — needs a human → `ai:needs-human` You could not establish a root cause, or the issue is out of scope for an unattended fix. Comment what you ruled out and what you would need to go further. No pull request, no plan. ## Comment, then relabel (do this before the next issue) Every issue gets a comment: root cause, and for A the fix in a sentence or two plus the pull request link; for B the plan above; for C/D the analysis. Plain language — the reader is a Home Assistant user, not a Go developer. Close A/C/D comments with a note that this is automated analysis pending Alex's review. Then, as your **last action on the issue**, relabel it: ``` gh issue edit --remove-label ai-triage --add-label ``` where `` is exactly one of `ai:fixed`, `ai:plan-pending`, `ai:upstream`, `ai:needs-human`, matching the outcome. A workflow step checks this afterwards and force-corrects anything still carrying `ai-triage` to `ai:needs-human` — treat that as a bug in your run, not a safety net. ## Meta-findings This is the part a per-issue run cannot do, so do not skip it. After the batch, look across everything you read. If several issues share a cause — one base image bump, one s6 change, one upstream release, one bad option default replicated across add-ons — open a single issue titled `[meta] ` describing it, linking the affected issues, and proposing the systemic fix rather than the individual patches. Report honestly if the batch produced nothing. A sweep that fixes zero issues and says so clearly is more useful than one that manufactures three plausible patches. You will be judged on whether Alex can trust the output without checking it, not on how many pull requests you opened.
