* fix(ai): let the fix step own config.yaml, and require the patch-counter bump The premise that the fix step cannot touch config.yaml turned out to be wrong, and the real problem was the opposite of what it looked like. config.yaml was already in scope — issue-fix.md lists it among the files the sweep reads and owns, and all three merged ai-fix PRs edited it. What they edited, though, was the one thing hard limit 2 forbade outright: PR #2970 qbittorrent version: "5.2.3.2" -> "5.2.3.3" PR #2912 bazarr version: "1.6.0.1" -> "1.6.0.2" Both bumped only the LOCAL PATCH COUNTER, leaving the upstream X.Y.Z alone — i.e. exactly the right thing, in direct violation of the written rule. Nothing enforces that rule (ai_guard_paths.sh only covers .github/ and .templates/), so it has been quietly contradicted by practice, and it also contradicts CLAUDE.md's own PR requirement to bump version. It matters because Supervisor will not offer a rebuild without the bump: a fix merged without one ships inert while the issue looks closed. That is the worst outcome available — worse than not fixing it. So the carve-out is narrowed to what addons_updater actually owns (the `upstream` field and the upstream X.Y.Z), and bumping the trailing .N is now required rather than forbidden, with the dot-not-hyphen trap called out (X.Y.Z-N reads as a semver pre-release and Supervisor treats it as older). Exotic version shapes — LSIO tags, dates, nightlies — are explicitly left alone rather than guessed at. Applied to all four places the rule is stated so they cannot drift: issue-fix.md, issue-execute-plan.md, CLAUDE.md, and pr-coderabbit.md — the last keeps the restriction, since it amends a PR whose single bump already covers it, but now says why instead of reading as a contradiction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ai): derive the patch counter from updater.json, not from version's shape Six review findings, all reproduced against the repo before accepting. Codex (P1) — the rule "increment the trailing .N" is wrong for most of this repo, because you cannot tell a local counter from an upstream component by looking at `version`. Checked all 134 add-ons: version == upstream_version (no counter, must APPEND .1): 82 version == upstream_version + .N (counter, INCREMENT): 8 version drifted from upstream (LEAVE ALONE): 36 no usable updater.json (LEAVE ALONE): 8 So the previous wording would have mutated updater-owned data on 82 add-ons: sonarr's 4.0.19.3001 IS the upstream version, and incrementing it to 4.0.19.3002 burns the identifier of a future real release; linkwarden's 2.16.0 would have become 2.16.1, indistinguishable from an upstream minor bump. updater.json's upstream_version is now the authority: append .1 when version equals it, increment only the digits that follow it, otherwise leave version alone. Validated by running the rule as written over every add-on — 0 violations of the invariant that a bumped version must still start with upstream_version. Copilot — there is no `upstream:` key in any config.yaml (0 of 134); upstream tracking lives in updater.json as upstream_repo / upstream_version. That was inherited text naming a field that does not exist, in all four places. Replaced with the real constraint: never edit updater.json. Copilot — the "a workflow step enforces them" headers over-claimed. Only limit 1 is machine-enforced (ai_guard_paths.sh); the rest ship silently if broken, which is worth saying plainly given limit 2 has been quietly contradicted by practice for months. Copilot — Outcome B produces a plan and no PR, so "say so in the pull request body" had no place to land. Now covers both.

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. Limit 1 is machine-enforced — a workflow step checks every pull request you open and blocks and flags anything that violates it. The rest are on you: nothing checks them, so breaking one ships silently.
-
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. -
config.yamlis yours to edit, with one carve-out. Never change the upstream part ofversion— the portion that tracks the upstream release — and never editupdater.jsonat all. Theaddons_updaterjob owns both, and editing them causes merge conflicts you will not be around to resolve. (There is noupstream:key inconfig.yaml; upstream tracking lives inupdater.jsonasupstream_repo/upstream_version.)The local patch counter is a different thing and you must bump it. When you change any file in an add-on,
versionmust change too — otherwise Supervisor never offers the rebuild, the add-on keeps running the old image, and your fix ships inert: merged, doing nothing, with the issue looking closed. That is worse than not fixing it at all.You cannot tell the counter from
versionalone — readupdater.json. Upstream versions in this repo have anywhere from one to five components, so a trailing.1234is just as likely to belong to upstream as to be a local counter.updater.json'supstream_versionis the authority. LetUbe that value, and compare:versionvsUwhat to do example identical append .1sonarr 4.0.19.3001->4.0.19.3001.1U+.+ digitsincrement those digits radarr 6.3.0.10514.1->6.3.0.10514.2anything else leave it alone plex, readarr, joal Getting this backwards corrupts data you do not own: sonarr's
4.0.19.3001is the upstream version, so "increment the last component" would produce4.0.19.3002and burn the identifier of a future real release. 82 of the add-ons in this repo are in that first row — appending is the common case, incrementing the rare one.Use a dot, never a hyphen:
X.Y.Z-Nparses as a semver pre-release, which Supervisor treats as older thanX.Y.Zand will not offer.The third row is not a failure — it is the safe answer whenever the add-on has no
updater.json, itsversionhas drifted fromupstream_version, or the format is exotic (LSIO tag1.43.1.10611-1e34174b1-ls301, a date, a nightly). Do not guess a counter onto those. Leaveversionuntouched and say so — in the pull request body, or in the plan if this issue is going out as Outcome B — so a human can decide. -
One add-on per branch, one branch per pull request. Branch name
ai-fix/<addon>-<issue-number>. -
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. -
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.
-
Relabel every issue before moving to the next one (see "Relabel", below). This sweep runs daily over the same
ai-triagebacklog; 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
shellcheckon any shell you change. Add aCHANGELOG.mdentry 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 #<n>.
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:
<!-- ai-plan -->
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:approvedlabel 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 <n> --remove-label ai-triage --add-label <replacement>
where <replacement> 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] <pattern>
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.
