What this adds

Three pr list fields that Forgejo's list route does not carry:

Field Meaning
checks_state Commit-status state for the head, as pr checks reports it
checks_passes Whether those checks pass, required contexts included
review_decision changes_requested|approved|stale|review_requested|commented|none

Getting this picture for every open pull request previously meant a call per pull request on top of the list, and then reading pr checks and pr reviews output row by row.

$ forgejo-axi pr list --repo owner/repo --fields number,state,checks_passes,review_decision

They cost requests, and the response says so

Each is fetched per displayed row. That is the honest cost and I did not want to hide it:

  • Only displayed rows are fetched. --limit and the default 30-row display cap bound the work; --full and --json do not. Fetching rows the caller asked not to see would be paid for and thrown away.
  • field_info reports the multiplier -- which fields were fetched, for how many rows, and every row whose fetch failed. A list that hid this would make a slow call look like a cheap one.
  • A row whose fetch fails yields null and a recorded reason, rather than failing the whole list. null means unknown and is never readable as a state. A deleted base branch is the ordinary way this happens on a real forge, and there is a test for exactly that.

all deliberately does not expand to them

This is the decision I would most like you to check. They are valid --fields names, and --fields all does not include them.

Expanding all would be the consistent reading of the word, but it would silently turn an existing pr list --fields all --full on a 200-pull-request repository from one request into six hundred, introduced by a minor version. chooseFields grew an optional allExpansion parameter defaulting to the whole valid set, so issue list and run list are untouched. Stated in --help so the word is not quietly redefined.

review_decision semantics

It answers what reviewers said, not whether this may merge -- that is pr mergeability's question, and keeping them apart drove two choices:

  • It ignores the official flag. That flag says whether a review counts toward a protection rule; on a repository with no rule it can be false for every reviewer, which would report a reviewed pull request as unreviewed.
  • A verdict on a superseded commit reports as stale, not as the verdict. Reporting a stale approval as approved is the reading a caller is most likely to act on and least likely to re-check -- the same error as reporting a superseded check run as passing. Precedence otherwise: changes requested outranks approved, both outrank a pending request or a bare comment; dismissed reviews are ignored entirely.

The evaluator is pure and lives in src/reviews.ts, alongside the same shape src/checks.ts already uses. ForgejoService.reviewDecision reads the reviews page and stops, so it costs one request whatever the review count -- listReviews costs a further round trip per commented review to fetch inline comments a list does not need.

Contract

Additive: three new optional field names, a new conditional top-level field_info key, no default output changed, no existing field renamed or repurposed.

Verification

  • npm run check passes: lint, typecheck, 246 tests (237 before, 9 added), smoke.
  • npm run gen:skill regenerated; the byte comparison in check passes.

Live lanes: neither was run. I have no credential for a Forgejo host these lanes may mutate. Per CONTRIBUTING I am saying so rather than guessing.

What I did verify against a real Forgejo 15.0.6+gitea-1.22.0 instance, read unauthenticated over a loopback forward:

$ forgejo-axi pr list --repo axitest/axi-demo --state all \
    --fields number,state,checks_state,checks_passes,review_decision
pull_requests[1]{number,state,checks_state,checks_passes,review_decision}:
  1,closed,success,true,none
page_info:
  complete: true
  ...
field_info:
  per_row_fields[3]: checks_state,checks_passes,review_decision
  rows_fetched: 1
  failures: []

checks_state: success and checks_passes: true are computed from that host's two real commit statuses on the head SHA, and --fields all on the same host issued one request and returned no field_info.

What that run did not cover, stated plainly: the repository had no reviews, so the only review_decision value exercised against a live host is none. Every other value -- including the stale case, which is the one I most want a second opinion on -- is covered by unit tests against the evaluator and by fixture-backed CLI tests, not by a live host. Creating reviews needs a credential I do not have.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional checks_state, checks_passes, and review_decision fields to pr list.

Getting the check state and the review verdict for every open pull request
meant a call per pull request on top of the list, because Forgejo's list route
carries neither. checks_state, checks_passes and review_decision now come back
as pr list fields.

They are not free and the response says so. Each is fetched per displayed row,
so --limit and the default display cap bound the work while --full and --json
do not, and a field_info block reports which fields were fetched, for how many
rows, and every row whose fetch failed. A failed row's field is null: unknown,
never a state.

The value "all" deliberately does not expand to them. They are valid field
names, but letting "all" pull them in would turn an existing one-request call
into one request per row without the caller asking.

review_decision answers what reviewers said, not whether the pull request may
merge -- that is pr mergeability's question. It therefore ignores the official
flag, which reports whether a review counts toward a protection rule and is
false for every reviewer on a repository without one. A verdict left on a
superseded commit reports as stale rather than as the verdict itself, for the
same reason a superseded check run must not report as passing.

reviewDecision reads the reviews page and stops, so it costs one request
whatever the review count, where listReviews costs a further round trip per
commented review to fetch inline comments a list does not need.

Adds derived field selection, displayed-row limits, nullable failures, field_info, restricted all expansion, and documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 00e1b

The new fields add per-pull-request remote reads; with --full or --json, a large result can generate thousands of sequential requests, causing excessive latency and request pressure. The change is mergeable with owner awareness, with bounded work or controlled concurrency worth considering.

372-383: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider bounding enrichment work when showAll is set.

With --full or --json, visible is every fetched row. The pagination ceiling allows 5000 fetched rows, and each row costs up to three serial requests. One invocation can then issue roughly 15000 sequential round trips with no bound. The default and --limit paths stay bounded, so only this path is affected.

Two options, either is acceptable:

  • Enrich with a small fixed concurrency instead of one row at a time.
  • Cap the number of enriched rows and report the cap in field_info.
♻️ Bounded-concurrency variant of the enrichment loop
-  for (const pull of visible) {
-    if (!want.checksState && !want.checksPasses && !want.reviews) {
-      rows.push(pull);
-      continue;
-    }
-    const derived = await service.derivedPullFields(repo, pull, want);
-    failures.push(...derived.failures);
-    rows.push({ ...pull, ...derived.values });
-  }
+  if (!want.checksState && !want.checksPasses && !want.reviews) {
+    rows.push(...visible);
+  } else {
+    const enriched = new Array<PullRequestListRow>(visible.length);
+    const concurrency = 4;
+    let next = 0;
+    const worker = async (): Promise<void> => {
+      while (next < visible.length) {
+        const index = next++;
+        const pull = visible[index] as PullRequestListRow;
+        const derived = await service.derivedPullFields(repo, pull, want);
+        failures.push(...derived.failures);
+        enriched[index] = { ...pull, ...derived.values };
+      }
+    };
+    await Promise.all(
+      Array.from({ length: Math.min(concurrency, visible.length) }, worker),
+    );
+    rows.push(...enriched);
+  }

Row order is preserved by index. failures order becomes non-deterministic, so sort it by number and field before emitting it if the contract must stay stable.
