description	Take the current Glific frontend branch from local changes through green CI and addressed bot/reviewer comments, ready for human review. Runs tsc + prettier + Vitest + coverage locally, fixes the PR title to the required format, pushes, then polls Unit Testing / Prettier / E2E / Codecov / CodeRabbit until green — handling the common gotchas (un-scheduled workflows, Cypress infra flakes). Use when the user asks to make a branch review-ready or get changes ready for review.

Make Branch Ready for Review (Frontend)

End-to-end workflow to get the current branch to green CI and addressed automated review.

Prerequisites

• On the intended feature branch (not master unless the user says so).
• gh authenticated for glific/glific-frontend.
• Node/yarn installed (yarn install --frozen-lockfile if deps are stale).

Hard rules

• Never edit CI workflow files or disable checks to make failures pass.
• Never force-push to master; force-push to a feature branch only with --force-with-lease.
• Never commit secrets (.env, tokens).
• During the post-push loop, fix locally and push once per iteration; don’t churn force-pushes for every tiny tweak — batch them, and for visual/CSS tweaks let the user confirm via HMR before pushing.
• Stop and ask the user on high-risk or out-of-scope fixes.

Progress checklist

- [ ] Phase 1 — Local quality (tsc, prettier, Vitest, coverage)
- [ ] Phase 2 — PR title + self-review
- [ ] Phase 3 — Commit and push
- [ ] Phase 4 — CI loop (Unit Testing, Prettier, E2E, Codecov, CodeRabbit)
- [ ] Phase 5 — Address review comments; final green

Phase 1 — Local quality

npx tsc --noEmit                                  # 0 type errors
npx prettier --check "src/**/*.{ts,tsx,css,graphql}"   # or: yarn format (writes)
CI=true yarn test:no-watch                        # full Vitest suite green

• Coverage: ensure the patch gate will pass (every changed line covered) — use improve-code-coverage.
• Flaky/intermittent failures → fix-flaky-tests (don’t retry-loop CI hoping it passes).

Phase 2 — PR title (strict) + self-review

The Validate PR title format check requires ^(feat|fix|build|chore|ci|docs|style|refactor|perf|test)!?: — i.e. <type>: with NO scope. feat(prompt-generator): … fails; use feat: …. Fix with:

gh pr edit <PR#> --title "feat: <summary>"

Self-review the diff for scope creep, leftover logs, and reuse opportunities (or run the code-review skill).

Phase 3 — Commit and push

Commit in focused chunks; confirm with the user before pushing/opening a PR if they’ve asked to. Push, then open the PR with gh pr create (PR-triggered CI runs against the merge ref).

Phase 4 — CI loop

Workflows that gate the PR: Unit Testing (job shows as the CI check), Prettier (Check formatting), E2E Tests (Cypress, sharded), Build and Deploy to Netlify, Validate PR title format, plus codecov/patch, codecov/project, and CodeRabbit.

Read the authoritative rollup:

gh pr view <PR#> --json statusCheckRollup \
  -q '.statusCheckRollup[] | "\(.status // .state)/\(.conclusion // "-")  \(.name // .context)"' | sort -u

Gotchas seen in practice:

• Un-scheduled workflows: after a push, sometimes only PR Title Check runs and Unit Testing/Prettier/E2E never get created (GitHub Actions scheduling miss). Confirm with:

  gh run list --workflow "Unit Testing" --limit 5 --json headSha,status,conclusion
  

  If there’s no run for your head SHA and nothing queued, re-trigger by close/reopen (no history rewrite):

  gh pr close <PR#> && gh pr reopen <PR#>
  

• Cypress shard fails on infra (Verifying Cypress can run … timed out, network/asset timeouts) while other shards pass → re-run just that shard: gh run rerun <e2e-run-id> --failed. Not a code failure.
• CI stderr noise: Apollo addTypename warnings are not failures — grep them out when reading logs.

Fix any real failures locally (commit), then push and re-poll.

Phase 5 — Review comments

• Fetch CodeRabbit + human review comments:

  gh api repos/glific/glific-frontend/pulls/<PR#>/comments --paginate \
    -q '.[] | "@\(.user.login) \(.path):\(.line)\n\(.body)\n---"'
  gh pr view <PR#> --json reviews -q '.reviews[] | "@\(.user.login) [\(.state)]: \(.body)"'
  

• Apply valid suggestions (i18n via t('English text'), accessibility, reuse). For inherited/pre-existing nits, note why if skipping.
• For visual/CSS review comments, remember the shared Button base style applies a white fill + drop shadow + 27px pill radius to every button — override per-component (e.g. box-shadow: none !important, border-radius) rather than editing the shared component. Let the user confirm via HMR before pushing.
• Re-run improve-code-coverage / fix-flaky-tests if a fix touches tests.

Definition of done

All gating checks green on the head SHA, CodeRabbit review completed, reviewer threads addressed, branch ready for human merge.
