sysadminandClaude Opus 4.8 8f866ae753 feat: add skip-stale-REQUEST_CHANGES reviewer menu prompt (#482)
Add a second reviewer workflow prompt to the root MCP operator menu:
"Skip already-reviewed stale REQUEST_CHANGES PR and hand off to author".

show_reviewer_prompts becomes a small 2-option submenu (mirroring the
existing show_author_prompts idiom): option 1 keeps the standard PR
review prompt; option 2 is the new prompt. It instructs the reviewer to
determine whether the current head already carries a non-stale
REQUEST_CHANGES verdict and, if so, to submit no new terminal review
mutation, run only handoff diagnostics, and return an author-ready fix
prompt with the full 8-field handoff.

Stacked on PR #479 (feat/issue-478-mcp-menu-shell); the menu is not yet
on master. Diff limited to the new prompt: mcp-menu.sh, docs/mcp-menu.md,
and a discoverability test in tests/test_mcp_menu_script.py.

Closes #482.

MCP operator shell menu

Purpose

./mcp-menu.sh is a repository-root terminal menu for onboarding and operating the Gitea-Tools MCP/Gitea workflow without memorizing every prompt, script path, or runbook section.

It is intentionally safe by default: status checks and copy-paste workflow prompts. It does not delete branches, force-push, edit lock files, or bypass sanctioned MCP tools.

How to run

From the repository root:

./mcp-menu.sh

The script must be executable (chmod +x mcp-menu.sh). It uses bash with set -euo pipefail.

Safety rules

  • Read-only by default — root checkout health is inspection only.
  • No destructive git — no git push --force, branch deletion, or --delete refspecs.
  • No lock-file editing — issue locks are acquired only through gitea_lock_issue.
  • No raw API bypass — prompts direct operators to sanctioned MCP tools.
  • Remote mutations require confirmation — any future menu action that would mutate remote or server state must be clearly labeled and require explicit operator confirmation before running.
  • Author work stays under branches/ — the root checkout is a stable control checkout on master / prgs/master.

Menu options

Option Description
Project status / root checkout health Shows cwd, branch, git status --short --branch, HEAD SHA, prgs/master SHA, and warnings when the root checkout is dirty or off master.
Author workflow prompts Ready-to-copy prompts for issue work, conflict-fix sessions, and root checkout recovery.
Reviewer workflow prompts Standard PR review prompt, and a skip-already-reviewed-stale-REQUEST_CHANGES prompt that hands off to the author without a duplicate terminal mutation (review-only; no merge).
Merger workflow prompts PR merge prompt (merge gates and explicit approval).
Reconciler workflow prompts Already-landed / closed PR reconciliation prompt.
Onboarding new project Checklist prompt for adding a repository to the MCP workflow.
Proxmox deployment placeholder Not implemented — informational message only.
Create Proxmox LXC placeholder Not implemented — informational message only.
Run tests Runs ./run-tests.sh when present; otherwise venv/bin/python -m pytest; otherwise fails closed with a clear error.
Exit Quit the menu.

Placeholder-only entries

Proxmox deployment and Create Proxmox LXC are placeholders until dedicated issues implement sanctioned automation. The menu prints a clear message and does not invoke deploy scripts.

Tests

Hermetic coverage lives in tests/test_mcp_menu_script.py.
