(magpie) 07/07: fix(contributor-growth): address adversarial-review findings and the deferred minors (#1429)
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.
potiuk pushed a commit to branch main
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/magpie.git
commit e286e6f69ab55a032823a9567087d8ac1afd3ebb

fix(contributor-growth): address adversarial-review findings and the deferred minors (#1429)
* fix(contributor-growth): address adversarial-review findings and the deferred minors
Copilot (gpt-5) reviewed each PR of the stack; this closes the valid
findings and every minor deferred from the earlier whole-stack review.
Tool:
- Area shares are over all merged PRs (or reviews) in the window, with
an "(unlabelled)" row; a single labelled PR among twenty no longer
shows as "100 %" of one area.
- A boolean weight is rejected, a weights file that is not a JSON
object exits 2, and --repo must be owner/name.
- `fetch --refresh` ignores the cache; the README documents the cache
key, that weights are applied at scoring time, the conversation
budgets, per-kind item ids, and that the penalty applies once per
thread in each count.
Skills and templates:
- A self-linked account counts only when it links back to the GitHub
profile; attribution follows the identity rule explicitly in Step 3.
- Briefs show the discounted value next to raw, penalty and adjusted;
mailing list, testing and user support are marked as collected.
- contributor-to-committer names the contributor per real-names.md,
never with an @-mention; nomination flags stale or mismatched
calibration.
- candidate-screen stops without a roster, re-checks privacy and the
collaborator list before writing, replaces a same-day report by sha,
and normalises report_path.
- calibrate bounds the archive query itself at the holdout date.
- Slack date bounds include the first and last day; shared workspaces
must list channels; a partial Discussions count says so.
- The nomination config template matches the readiness template.
New eval case: a self-linked blog without a link back is not used.

* Potential fix for pull request finding 'CodeQL / Module is imported with 'import' and 'import from''
Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <62...@users.noreply.github.com>
* test(contributor-metrics): drop the unused import left by the CodeQL autofix
The autofix switched one test to patching by string path but left fetch_items imported and unused, which ruff rejects (F401). The other test that imported the module a second time now uses the same string-path patch, so neither import pattern CodeQL flags remains.

+Item ids are per kind: the same PR can appear as `pr-N`, `review-N`, `thread-N` and `triage-N`, and the calling skill classifies each id it means to discount.
The search string is written to a tempfile and passed as `-F q=@<file>`, so a handle never reaches a shell argument.

- Area shares, area breadth and merge rate use item weights without the penalty.
+- An area's share is its weight over **all** merged PRs (or reviews) in the window; work with no area label is reported as an `(unlabelled)` row, and a PR with two area labels counts toward both, so shares can add up to more than 100 %.
+- The penalty is applied once per thread **in each count** the thread appears in — a pushed-back PR lowers opened, merged and threads-commented alike, because each count is compared with its own floor.
- `caps_hit` names every stream whose search returned more results than were fetched; its counts are floors.
