Issue Validator
Validate before proposing or making a fix.
- Fetch the issue, comments, labels, and referenced pull requests with
gh.
- Resolve the target branch and inspect its current code, not only the issue's
cited revision.
- Translate stale paths, symbols, and line numbers through renames or ports.
- Trace the reachable user path and reproduce the behavior when practical.
- Search open and merged pull requests plus recent history for fixes,
regressions, duplicates, and conflicting changes.
- Classify the issue as
valid, partially valid, fixed, duplicate,
superseded, or not reproducible.
Separate confirmed facts from hypotheses. A code smell in an unreachable path
does not validate an issue. Do not edit by default; end with the smallest
justified next action and current file/symbol references.
