ai-review: handle PRs over the 300-file diff cap in prefetch#2845unarbos wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
The .diff media type is hard-capped at 300 changed files; on larger PRs gh pr diff returns HTTP 406 forever, leaving the required skeptic check permanently red. Reconstruct the unified diff from the paginated Files API in that case. The workflow runs the trusted copy of this script from the base branch, so the fix must land on main to take effect.

[HIGH] Fallback silently omits security-sensitive file contents
The Files API omits patch for oversized textual files as well as binaries. On a >300-file PR, an attacker can make a sensitive change individually large enough to land here; the Skeptic then receives only this placeholder and may return SAFE without seeing the change. Because this modifies the trusted .github/ai-review/ pipeline and creates a steady-state review bypass, fail closed when any patch is missing or fetch the base/head blobs and reconstruct the complete textual diff.
🛡️ AI Review — Skeptic (security review)VERDICT: VULNERABLE BASELINE scrutiny: write-permission contributor with substantial activity, no known Gittensor association; direct-to-main hotfix is explicitly justified. The oversized-diff fallback now reconstructs the complete patch locally and fails closed on checkout, head, or merge-base mismatches. Findings
Prior-comment reconciliation
ConclusionThe fallback vulnerability is fixed, but this PR still modifies a protected AI-review security helper. The required independent validation remains outstanding. 📜 Previous run (superseded)

…ut, fail closed. Skeptic flagged the Files API fallback: it omits `patch` for individually-oversized textual files, so a placeholder hunk would be a review blind spot. Compute the diff with local git instead (the workflow runs prefetch inside a fetch-depth-0 checkout of the PR head), guarded so any mismatch or failure aborts rather than emitting a partial diff.

[HIGH] Protected AI-review security helper modified
This changes a protected .github/ai-review/* helper that determines the exact code shown to the security personas. Once merged, this base-branch copy becomes trusted and executes on future PRs; any defect could create a steady-state review bypass. Per the protected-file policy, nucleus must independently validate the complete fallback and fail-closed behavior before merge.

…cts new regressions only. Mirrors the list already on the monorepo branch, plus five advisories (bytes/time/quinn-proto/rustls-webpki duplicates) that only exist in main's pre-monorepo Cargo.lock; drop those once the consolidated lockfile lands. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

[HIGH] Protected AI-review security helper modified
This changes the trusted helper that determines exactly what code the security personas review. Policy requires every modification under .github/ai-review/ to be flagged at least HIGH; independent nucleus validation of the complete trusted-file diff is required before merge.

Summary
gh pr diffuses the.diffmedia type, which GitHub hard-caps at 300 changed files; on larger PRs it returns HTTP 406 no matter how many times it is retried, leaving the required skeptic check permanently red (currently blocking Bittensor monorepo consolidation: SDK, py-sp-core, website, docs, clones, CI, and release train #2841, which touches 1000+ files).prefetch.shnow triesgh pr difffirst and, on failure, reconstructs the unified diff from the paginated Files API (no file-count cap), emitting the samediff --githunk stream the personas normally see.
