• noop for https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/49327#issuecomment-4026109034 #644 — It reports behavior from the same Beats PR comment stream and points to the same detective output path, which may help trace where comment content is assembled.
• PR actions detective no-op if no failures #620 — It documents prior fixes in the same PR Actions Detective reporting flow, which can help locate existing logic for shaping comment/no-op output.

tl;dr: the reported behavior is real — the comment body shows the analyzed run as an ID, while the footer link points to the detective workflow run. The fix should be in the detective prompt/template, not the shared footer.

Recommendation

Update PR Actions Detective to always include the analyzed run URL (not just run ID) in the generated comment body, and keep the current footer behavior unchanged.

Rationale: footer {{run_url}} is provenance for the agent run; changing it globally would affect many workflows.

Findings

• External evidence (reported comment): https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/49327#issuecomment-4025724534

  • Body starts with analyzed run as ID: Workflow run \22866647362``
  • Footer links to detective run: .../actions/runs/22867162509

• PR Actions Detective prompt includes only run ID in context:

  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-actions-detective.md:89-91

  - **Workflow Run ID**: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.id }}
  

• Response template does not require run URL in Evidence:

  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-actions-detective.md:154-157

  - Workflow: [name]
  - Job/step: [name]
  - Key log excerpt: [snippet]
  

• Shared footer intentionally uses {{run_url}}:

  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-fragments/messages-footer.md:4

• In compiled workflow, GH_AW_RUN_URL is built from github.run_id (the detective run):

  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-actions-detective.lock.yml:1304

  GH_AW_RUN_URL: .../actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}
  

• Related workflow contrast: branch detective templates explicitly require run links in issue bodies:

  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-branch-actions-detective.md:147

Verification

I verified this via:

• GitHub API fetch of the exact reported comment ID 4025724534 (body/footer mismatch confirmed).
• Direct source inspection of:
  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-actions-detective.md
  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-fragments/messages-footer.md
  • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-actions-detective.lock.yml

No repo tests were run because this is a prompt/template triage investigation (no code execution path change validated in this run).

Detailed Action Plan

1. Update prompt context in:

   • .github/workflows/gh-aw-pr-actions-detective.md
   • Add **Workflow Run URL**: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.html_url }} next to run ID.

2. Update response template in the same file:

   • In ## Evidence, require a line like:
     • - Run: [link to analyzed workflow run]
   • Keep existing job/step/log fields.

3. (Optional but recommended) align similar workflow(s):

   • Check gh-aw-pr-actions-fixer.md for the same ID-only pattern and add explicit run URL guidance where comments are produced.

4. Recompile generated workflow locks:

   • Run the repo’s compile step so .lock.yml matches source changes.

5. Validate with a dry run on a failing PR workflow:

   • Confirm posted detective comment includes:
     • analyzed run URL in the body,
     • unchanged footer linking to detector provenance run.
