Codebase Audit System

Adds a workflow_dispatch-triggered audit system that analyzes existing code (not just PR diffs) using multi-perspective AI review via GitHub Models API.

How it works

  1. Smart file discovery: Searches knowledge files for topic relevance → extracts file paths → expands with grep → LLM reranks for precision
  2. Clustered analysis: Groups files into ~15KB clusters, analyzes each per perspective
  3. Snippet-based citing: Quotes exact code instead of line numbers (more reliable than approximate references)
  4. Rolling issues: Updates existing issue for same topic label instead of creating duplicates

Usage

Go to Actions → Codebase Audit → Run workflow, then either:

  • Enter a free-text topic (e.g., error handling patterns)
  • Select a preset from the dropdown

Preset audits

Preset Topic Perspectives
panic-safety Unwrap, expect, bounds checks reliability, security, semantics
ffi-boundary Memory safety across language boundaries security, architect, api-steward, reliability
security-hardening Input validation, DoS protection security, red-teamer, reliability
undefined-propagation Three-valued logic correctness semantics, test, reliability
resource-limits Unbounded resource consumption security, reliability, performance

New files

  • .github/workflows/codebase-audit.yml — Workflow definition
  • .github/scripts/codebase-audit.sh — Core audit logic
  • .github/prompts/audit-*.json — 5 preset audit configurations

Add a complete Copilot configuration for regorus with layered architecture:
instructions, knowledge files, skills, role-based agents, and CI validation.

## Instructions (auto-loaded)
- copilot-instructions.md: lean 5KB orientation with knowledge file references
- copilot-code-review-instructions.md: "think freely" review guide with
  severity categories and domain-specific context (Undefined, FFI, telemetry)

## Knowledge Files (20 files, ~70KB)
Deep institutional knowledge organized by subsystem:
- Core: value-semantics, engine-api, error-handling-migration
- Execution: interpreter-architecture, rvm-architecture, compilation-pipeline
- Rego: rego-semantics, rego-compiler, builtin-system
- Azure: azure-policy-language, azure-policy-aliases, azure-rbac-language
- Safety: policy-evaluation-security, ffi-boundary, feature-composition
- Diagnostics: telemetry-and-diagnostics, causality-and-partial-eval
- Extensibility: language-extension-guide, tooling-architecture, time-builtins-compat

## Agents (16 role-based personas)
Each agent brings a distinct thinking mode for review and planning:
- Core engineering: red-teamer, semantics-expert, architect, performance-engineer
- Quality: test-engineer, verification-engineer, security-auditor
- Operations: reliability-engineer, support-engineer, ci-engineer
- Evolution: refactorer, api-steward
- Product: program-manager, demo-engineer, dx-engineer
- Leadership: tech-lead (with 9 constitutional rules and cross-agent synthesis)

## Skills (6 task workflows)
- thorough-review: multi-agent parallel review with cross-agent context protocol
- design-alternatives: multi-approach evaluation against 9 dimensions
- add-builtin, opa-conformance, security-review, verification

## CI & Infrastructure
- copilot-setup-steps.yml: Rust 1.92.0 + clippy + rustfmt + cargo cache
- copilot-config-validation.yml: YAML syntax, reference checking, staleness detection

## Architecture Documentation
- docs/copilot-architecture.md: how all layers connect, extension guide

- Add 'Review Perspectives' section to copilot-code-review-instructions.md
  that inlines key thinking modes from all 10 relevant agents so the
  single-pass GitHub PR reviewer adopts multiple roles automatically
- Fix copilot-config-validation.yml grep pattern to only match knowledge
  file references in the table (not docs/rvm/*.md references)

feat: add comprehensive GitHub Copilot configuration
Each review comment now includes:
- Perspective tag identifying which role raised the finding
- Severity indicator (critical/important/suggestion)
- Issue-ready summary in blockquote for easy GitHub issue creation

Move comment format from a subsection hint to a top-level REQUIRED
section with concrete examples and explicit 'no exceptions' language.
This should improve compliance from the PR review bot.

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that:
- Triggers on PRs via pull_request_target (fork-safe, API-only diff)
- Selects relevant perspectives based on changed file paths
- Calls GitHub Models API with agent instructions + file context
- Requests structured JSON output, renders perspective-tagged markdown
- Upserts a single consolidated review comment (idempotent)

Security: never checks out PR head code; pins actions by SHA;
uses concurrency groups to cancel stale runs.

The 'models: read' permission may not be recognized by GitHub Actions
yet, potentially causing silent workflow failures. Remove it and rely
on GITHUB_TOKEN's default access. Add workflow_dispatch for manual
testing.

Move all review logic from inline YAML to .github/scripts/perspective-review.sh.
Workflow YAML is now minimal — just triggers, permissions, and script invocation.

The perspective-review workflow needs the models:read permission
on GITHUB_TOKEN to call the GitHub Models API endpoint.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Redesigned the perspective-review script to use the PR Review API
for inline code comments instead of issue comments. Each perspective
posts a separate review with findings anchored to specific diff lines.

Key improvements:
- Uses PR Review API for inline comments with code snippets
- One review per perspective for clear attribution
- Parses diff to extract valid line anchors with code content
- LLM picks from exact anchor list (100% inline rate)
- Two-bucket fallback: inline for anchored, body for unanchored
- Locks reviews to analyzed commit SHA

Adds a workflow_dispatch-triggered codebase audit system that can analyze
existing code (not just PR diffs) using multi-perspective AI review.

Key features:
- Smart file discovery: knowledge files → grep → LLM reranking
- Multi-pass analysis: per-file clusters, then cross-file synthesis
- Snippet-based citing: exact code quotes instead of line numbers
- Rolling issues: updates existing issue for same topic
- 5 preset audit topics: panic-safety, ffi-boundary, security-hardening,
  undefined-propagation, resource-limits
- Auto-selects perspectives based on topic keywords

New files:
- .github/workflows/codebase-audit.yml
- .github/scripts/codebase-audit.sh
- .github/prompts/audit-*.json (5 preset configs)

Weekly cron schedule rotates through all 10 presets (one per Monday).

Knowledge freshness is already tracked by copilot-config-validation.yml

🟠 Important: Codebase audit workflow added

A new GitHub Actions workflow for running codebase audits has been added. This allows for manual and scheduled audits, enhancing the overall quality assurance process.

New specialized audit that compares docs/knowledge/*.md against actual
source code using LLM analysis. Detects:
- Factual inaccuracies (wrong types, signatures, behavior descriptions)
- Stale content from refactoring or API changes
- Deleted/renamed source files still referenced by knowledge docs
- New significant source files (>100 lines) with no knowledge coverage

Uses a dedicated script (.github/scripts/knowledge-accuracy.sh) that:
1. Extracts source file references from each knowledge doc
2. Checks file existence (catches deletions/renames)
3. Sends knowledge doc + actual source to LLM for comparison
4. Finds uncovered source files via coverage analysis
5. Posts findings as a rolling GitHub Issue

Added to preset rotation (11 presets, ~4 week cycle).
Workflow now supports script override via preset JSON 'script' field.
