pr-sous-chef: auto-resolve outdated addressed review threads via thread-resolver sub-agent

[Copilot]

PR Sous Chef now auto-resolves review threads that are both unresolved and outdated, reducing stale reviewer noise without changing nudge behavior. The workflow adds a lightweight resolver path that runs independently and fails open.

• Sub-agent: thread-resolver

  • Adds a dedicated compact sub-agent that queries PR review threads via MCP pull_requests.
  • Filters to isResolved: false && isOutdated: true.
  • Returns only thread node IDs; capped at 4 tool calls.

• Safe output capability

  • Adds resolve-pull-request-review-thread to safe-outputs with max: 20 and target: "*".
  • Enables controlled resolution via:

    safeoutputs resolve_pull_request_review_thread --thread_id <id>

• Main agent policy updates

  • Token-efficiency rules now require invoking thread-resolver for eligible PRs.
  • Resolver failures are silent-skip (sub_agent_error-style behavior) and do not abort PR processing.
  • Allowed safe-output list now includes resolve_pull_request_review_thread.

• Execution contract / reporting

  • Adds a required “thread resolution” section with explicit call flow.
  • Extends final run-summary noop payload with threads_resolved=N for visibility.

Example resolution flow:

{"thread_ids":["PRRT_kwDO...","PRRT_kwDO..."]}

safeoutputs resolve_pull_request_review_thread --thread_id PRRT_kwDO...

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Adds GH_AW_LABEL_COMMANDS configuration across multiple GitHub Actions “*.lock.yml” workflows, likely to enable label-driven command routing/behavior in the gh-aw scripts.

Changes:

• Introduces GH_AW_LABEL_COMMANDS env var in multiple workflows (typically in both the “setup globals” step env and the job-level env).
• Standardizes label-command configuration for smoke/dev/necromancer-style workflows (with some label value variations).
