Summary

  • keep partial static trees rejected while allowing mehen diff to report valid results from other files
  • emit structured analysis_errors and mark blocked metric sides unavailable
  • add opt-in strict gating through --fail-on-analysis-error and the Action fail-on-analysis-error input
  • render deduplicated, span-aware diagnostics in CLI Markdown and the sticky PR comment
  • preserve repository-threshold evaluation for parseable files

Motivation

On wharflab/tally#999, one Go 1.27 generic method is not yet accepted by the pinned tree-sitter-go grammar. That single-file parser diagnostic caused the entire Mehen Action to fail before publishing its useful report.

With this change, the same comparison exits successfully by default and reports internal/config/rules.go as unavailable on the head side. Strict mode still emits the complete report and then exits 1.

Verification

  • cargo build
  • cargo check
  • cargo fmt --all --check
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features --locked
  • cargo nextest run --all-features
  • cargo insta test --all-features --check --workspace --unreferenced reject --test-runner nextest --no-test-runner-fallback --disable-nextest-doctest (1,672 passed)
  • node --test scripts/github-action.test.mjs (48 passed)
  • direct reproduction against Tally PR 999 refs: default exit 0; CLI and Action strict modes exit 1 after publishing diagnostics

Emit structured analysis diagnostics without failing the whole diff by default, preserve valid metrics and thresholds from other files, and add opt-in strict gating for the CLI and GitHub Action.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The diff engine records structured analysis diagnostics and reports them in JSON and Markdown. Error and fatal diagnostics make static metrics unavailable only for the affected side. Diagnostics remain advisory by default. The --fail-on-analysis-error option enables failure after report generation. The GitHub Action exposes the matching input and a count of blocking diagnostics. Tests and documentation cover parsing, deduplication, rendering, thresholds, coverage, and exit behavior.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a report in my paw,
Diagnostics sorted without a flaw.
Metrics pause where broken files lie,
Clean files continue beneath the sky.
Strict gates wait for a flag to appear—
Then publish first, and fail clear!

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 60fe1

The PR makes per-file analysis failures advisory while preserving strict opt-in failure; mergeability is otherwise intact, but the user-facing explanation of unavailable metrics should clarify that warning-only analyzer or decoder conditions can also make a metric side unavailable.

P2 Badge Link diagnostics to the revisions actually diffed

When a workflow sets the documented from or to inputs, buildDiffArgs analyzes those explicit refs, but this always links diagnostics using the pull-request event's base/head SHAs. The diagnostic table can therefore send users to different file contents—or a missing path—than the side that produced the diagnostic. Resolve the configured refs for these links, or carry the actual analyzed revisions into the rendering context.
