When lifecycle labels (needs-info, needs-repro, invalid, stale, autoclose)
are applied to an issue, the author currently only sees a label change with
no explanation. They then get a closing comment days later without ever
being nudged to respond.
Add a GitHub Actions workflow that triggers on issues.labeled and runs a
new lifecycle-comment.ts script to post a comment explaining what's needed
and how long before auto-close.
Extract lifecycle config (labels, timeouts, close reasons, nudge messages)
into a shared issue-lifecycle.ts so the sweep script and comment script
stay in sync. Previously the timeouts were duplicated between the sweep
script and the comment messages.
- needs-info: asks for version, OS, error messages
- needs-repro: asks for steps to trigger the issue
- invalid: links to the Claude Code repo and Anthropic support
- stale/autoclose: explains inactivity auto-close
The script no-ops for non-lifecycle labels, so the workflow fires on every
label event and lets the script decide — single source of truth.
## Test plan
Dry-run all labels locally:
GITHUB_REPOSITORY=anthropics/claude-code LABEL=needs-info ISSUE_NUMBER=12345 bun run scripts/lifecycle-comment.ts --dry-run
GITHUB_REPOSITORY=anthropics/claude-code LABEL=needs-repro ISSUE_NUMBER=12345 bun run scripts/lifecycle-comment.ts --dry-run
GITHUB_REPOSITORY=anthropics/claude-code LABEL=invalid ISSUE_NUMBER=12345 bun run scripts/lifecycle-comment.ts --dry-run
GITHUB_REPOSITORY=anthropics/claude-code LABEL=stale ISSUE_NUMBER=12345 bun run scripts/lifecycle-comment.ts --dry-run
GITHUB_REPOSITORY=anthropics/claude-code LABEL=autoclose ISSUE_NUMBER=12345 bun run scripts/lifecycle-comment.ts --dry-run
Verified sweep.ts still works:
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER=anthropics GITHUB_REPOSITORY_NAME=claude-code bun run scripts/sweep.ts --dry-run
* Unify issue lifecycle labeling and sweep into a single system
Consolidate issue triage, stale detection, and lifecycle enforcement into
two components: a Claude-powered triage workflow and a unified sweep script.
Triage workflow changes:
- Add issue_comment trigger so Claude can re-evaluate lifecycle labels when
someone responds to a needs-repro/needs-info issue
- Add concurrency group per issue with cancel-in-progress to avoid pile-up
- Filter out bot comments to prevent sweep/dedupe triggering re-triage
- Hardcode allowed label whitelist to prevent label sprawl (was discovering
labels via gh label list, leading to junk variants like 'needs repro' vs
'needs-repro')
- Replace MCP GitHub server with gh CLI — simpler, no Docker dependency,
chaining is caught by the action so permissions are equivalent
- Add lifecycle labels (needs-repro, needs-info) for bugs missing info
- Add invalid label for off-topic issues (Claude API, billing, etc.)
- Add anti-patterns to prevent false positives (don't require specific
format, model behavior issues don't need traditional repro, etc.)
Sweep script changes:
- Absorb stale issue detection (was separate stale-issue-manager workflow)
- Mark issues as stale after 14 days of inactivity
- Skip assigned issues (team is working on it internally)
- Skip enhancements with 10+ thumbs up (community wants it)
- Add invalid label with 3-day timeout
- Add autoclose label support to drain 200+ legacy issues
- Drop needs-votes (stale handles inactive enhancements)
- Unify close messages into a single template with per-label reasons
- Run 2x daily instead of once
Delete stale-issue-manager.yml — its logic is now in sweep.ts.
## Test plan
Dry-run sweep locally:
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER=anthropics GITHUB_REPOSITORY_NAME=claude-code bun run scripts/sweep.ts --dry-run
Triage workflow will be tested by opening a test issue after merge.
* Update .github/workflows/claude-issue-triage.yml

Introduce a simple, mechanical daily sweep that closes issues with
lifecycle labels past their timeout:
- needs-repro: 7 days
- needs-info: 7 days
- needs-votes: 30 days
- stale: 30 days
The sweep checks when the label was last applied via the events API,
and closes the issue if the timeout has elapsed. No AI, no comment
checking — if the label is still there past its timeout, close it.
Removing a label (by a triager, slash command, or future AI retriage)
is what prevents closure.
Each close message directs the reporter to open a new issue rather
than engaging with the closed one.
The script supports --dry-run for local testing:
GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) \
GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER=anthropics \
GITHUB_REPOSITORY_NAME=claude-code \
bun run scripts/sweep.ts --dry-run
## Test plan
Ran --dry-run against anthropics/claude-code. Correctly identified 3
issues past their timeouts (1 needs-repro at 12d, 2 needs-info at
14d and 26d). No false positives.
Updates GitHub workflow files to use the new claude-code-action@v1 and replaces prompt_file with inline prompt parameter.

Implements a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically identifies and labels critical blocking issues requiring oncall attention.
Features:
- Runs every 6 hours via cron schedule
- Fetches open issues updated in the last 3 days (5 per page to avoid context overflow)
- Orders by UPDATED_AT DESC and stops when hitting issues older than 3 days
- Evaluates each issue for bug status, engagement level (5+), and blocking severity
- Uses LLM comprehension to determine true blocking impact, not keyword matching
- Applies "oncall" label to qualifying issues via GitHub MCP tools
- Provides detailed summary including processed count, labeled issues, and close calls

Update all Claude Code GitHub Action workflows to use the latest Sonnet 4.5 model (claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929) instead of the default Sonnet 4.0 model. This provides improved performance and capabilities for:
- Issue commenting and PR reviews (claude.yml)
- Automated issue triage (claude-issue-triage.yml)
- Duplicate issue detection (claude-dedupe-issues.yml)

Fixes#7730
Switch from workflow_dispatch to repository_dispatch for cross-repo
triggering of issue-detective workflow in claude-cli-internal.
Changes:
- Use gh api with repository_dispatch endpoint
- Send issue_url in client_payload
- Support ISSUE_NOTIFY_TOKEN secret for better permissions
- Remove dependency on ISSUE_NOTIFY_WORKFLOW_NAME secret
This enables automatic issue detective analysis when issues are
opened in claude-code repository.

Re-implements the workflow removed in #5919, but with proper security:
- All GitHub event data is now passed via environment variables
- No direct templating of values into shell commands
- Prevents remote code execution through malicious issue titles
- Still escapes quotes in JSON payload for proper formatting
This fixes the security vulnerability while maintaining the functionality
of logging issue creation events to Statsig.

Extends the existing log-issue-events workflow to capture detailed metrics when issues are closed, including:
- Who closed the issue
- Whether it was closed automatically (by a bot)
- Whether it was closed as a duplicate
- Number of comments and reactions at closing time
- Issue state reason and timestamp
This provides comprehensive analytics for issue lifecycle tracking alongside the existing issue creation logging.

The 10-minute timeout is unnecessary for this workflow as it typically
completes quickly. Removing it allows the workflow to use the default
GitHub Actions timeout (6 hours for public repos, 72 hours for private),
providing more flexibility if the workflow needs to process a large
number of issues.
Also fixed trailing whitespace inconsistencies in the script.

Replaces the dessant/lock-threads action with a direct GitHub Script
implementation to avoid the deprecated search/issues API endpoint warning.
The new implementation:
- Uses github.rest.issues.listForRepo() instead of the deprecated search API
- Maintains the same 7-day inactivity threshold
- Adds the same comment before locking
- Uses 'resolved' as the lock reason
- Handles pagination properly for large repositories
