A page of pull request files no longer lets one huge patch fill a reader's context while the small files after it get nothing.

Kind of change

  • This is a bug fix, performance, documentation or a new plugin extension point (features go in plugins: docs/plugins.md)

What changed

  • The patches of one threads.pullRequestFiles page now share 60,000 characters, notes included; before, each patch kept up to 100,000 (pull-request-diff-budget.ts).
  • The split is max-min fair per file, then per hunk: small files and hunks stay whole, long hunks keep their first lines.
  • A cut patch ends with a note naming the page and path; the new optional path param returns that file alone, up to 100,000 characters.
  • Lock files and generated files, known by their path, keep one stat line.
  • bench/pr-review-context.ts rebuilds the GitHub files API pages of real squash commits from git and measures each page, with no network.
  • Contract, core and in-memory client change together; docs/performance.md records the numbers.
Pull request (squash commit) Files All pages before All pages after Largest page before Largest page after
#614 185 628,053 B 398,304 B 271,909 B 65,752 B
#621 44 413,740 B 126,800 B 306,462 B 64,037 B
#524 62 250,241 B 131,179 B 174,421 B 63,469 B

To question

The budget is per page, not across the whole pull request: each page is its own call, and a reader who wants more of one file asks for it by path.

Verification

  • bun bench/pr-review-context.ts on 2026-11-07; "before" runs the same bench on the previous pull-request-review.ts through BENCH_REVIEW_MODULE.
  • The new test in pull-request-review.test.ts fails on main (181,164 characters on a page) and passes now; its long-path case fails on the first commit (64,195).
  • bun test packages/core/test/pull-request*: 49 pass, 0 fail.
  • bun run check passes.
  • reviewed by GPT-6.1 Sol: 2 rounds, approved.
  • no captures: nothing visible changes; the in-memory client only gains the path param.
  • not verified: no client reads threads.pullRequestFiles yet besides the in-memory one.

Affected paths

  • Desktop and phone
  • Each affected driver: Claude, ACP, Codex, Muse, pi, agy, echo
  • Both transports: the real core and lib/fake-client.ts
  • Reverse actions: archive, uninstall, unsubscribe, shutdown
  • Windows and Linux
  • Contract first: the domain file in packages/contracts/src/
  • Documentation

Patches of one page share 60,000 characters: small files stay whole, big
ones are cut across their hunks with a note naming the page and path,
lock and generated files keep a stat line. A path parameter reads one
file whole. bench/pr-review-context.ts measures real commits offline.

In `@packages/core/src/pull-request-diff-budget.ts`:
- Around line 29: Reword `where` and the contract comment to state the 100,000-character file limit and update the exact-note assertion in `pull-request-review.test.ts`.

In `@packages/core/src/pull-request-review.ts`:
- Around line 70: Include the same `(page === 100 && values.length === 30)` condition in the `path` branch's `truncated`.

Head c741203 was not reviewed again: the review of 847d7dc found no critical or major issue and only 20 lines changed since. Comment @mtsu-patrol review to review it.

Pull request file pages now share 60,000 patch characters across the files of a page instead of allowing 100,000 per file, so one huge patch no longer crowds out the small files after it. A cut patch ends with a note naming its page and path to fetch that file alone, while lock and generated files keep only a stat line.

Comments posted: no critical or major finding.

  • Duration: 3 min 48 s
Commands run (11)

Installed with bun install --frozen-lockfile (279 packages) and ran pull-request suites: pull-request-review.test.ts 3 pass (bounded pages, huge-patch fairness, paired-phone auth), plus detection/lifecycle/rounds/watch suites all passing; bench tsconfig typecheck passed. Exercised code via tests only; no failure reproduced. Full app/bench run not completed before time expired.
