Summary

  • add readAppTriggerIntent() to distinguish schedules, authenticated app-trigger payloads, and malformed trigger bodies
  • add normalized Slack reaction parsing with exact reacted-message identity
  • add reusable Slack approval-card construction, decoding, metadata-redaction recovery, and actor/emoji/message binding
  • document both flows and export them from the public runtime and delivery packages

Safety properties

  • requires the explicit source: app.trigger marker before treating an event as a manual trigger
  • rejects malformed payloads without silently downgrading them to schedule ticks
  • keeps action identifiers out of rendered Slack text and rejects secrets in documented usage
  • enforces metadata, block-id, section-text, and total-block bounds
  • fails closed on invalid identifiers, inconsistent metadata/block copies, wrong approver, wrong emoji, or wrong message timestamp
  • deliberately does not add a generic Cloud proxy or policy/Veto framework

Validation

  • pnpm --filter @agentworkforce/runtime test — 166 passed
  • pnpm --filter @agentworkforce/delivery test — 34 passed
  • pnpm -r build
  • pnpm typecheck
  • public export smoke test and git diff --check

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ed9bd

The PR adds Slack approval matching, but the current implementation can accept approvals from messages posted by another app and can recover approvals from matching block IDs without the required metadata marker; ambiguous event parsing may also misidentify the actor or item. This creates a concrete unauthorized-approval risk, so the PR is not safe to merge until these checks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a card in my paws,
Triggers hop through clearly marked doors.
Slack reactions ring,
Safe approvals they bring,
And bounded IDs guard the applause.

39-61: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover the two single-source decode paths.

The suite covers metadata plus blocks, and redacted metadata plus blocks. It does not cover metadata with no blocks, and it does not cover blocks with no metadata. The second case is the path I flagged in packages/delivery/src/slack-approval.ts (lines 151-174). Add both cases so the intended trust boundary is pinned by a test.

💚 Proposed extra cases
   assert.deepEqual(
     readSlackApproval({
       ts: '1787300000.000100',
       metadata: {
         event_type: card.metadata.event_type,
         event_payload: {}
       },
       blocks: card.blocks
     }, options),
     {
       namespace: 'github-inbox.archive',
       approverId: 'U12345678',
       actionIds: ['thread-1', 'thread-2']
     }
   );
+  assert.deepEqual(
+    readSlackApproval({ ts: '1787300000.000100', metadata: card.metadata }, options),

+      actionIds: ['thread-1', 'thread-2']
+    }
+  );
+  // Pin the decision for a message that carries block ids but no card marker.
+  assert.deepEqual(
+    readSlackApproval({ ts: '1787300000.000100', blocks: card.blocks }, options)?.actionIds,
+    ['thread-1', 'thread-2']
+  );
 });

Add a case for the message_ts fallback.

The last case proves a generic top-level ts is not used. The supported alternative, an explicitly named message_ts, has no test. Add a case so the documented fallback in packages/delivery/src/slack.ts (line 127) stays covered.

💚 Proposed extra case

     readSlackReaction({
       channel: 'C12345678',

Inline comments:
In `@packages/delivery/src/slack-approval.ts`:
- Around line 191-203: Update matchSlackApprovalReaction to verify that the
reacted message was authored by the application, using an optional author-check
configuration and requiring that check for approval matching; preserve the
existing actor, emoji, and timestamp validation and return null when the message
author does not match.
- Around line 151-174: Update the approval recovery logic around metadataMatches
and matchingBlock so block-only recovery is accepted only when
metadata.event_type contains the expected approval marker; reject missing or
mismatched event types even when block_id matches. First verify the Cloud and
Relayfile readers preserve metadata.event_type through parsing, then apply the
stricter condition without changing matching metadata/block validation.

In `@packages/delivery/src/slack.ts`:
- Around line 118-121: Update the item-type gate near firstSlackRecord to accept
only an explicit “message” value, rejecting missing or other types; update the
event-wrapper fixture in the Slack tests to include type: “message”.
- Around line 123-131: Update actor resolution near matchSlackApprovalReaction
to use layer-major lookup, trying user and user_id within each candidate record
before moving to the next record, so actorId comes from the same layer as
reaction. Add and use a firstSlackStringOfKeys helper alongside the existing
Slack parsing helpers, while preserving the existing required-field validation.
