Review comments and thread replies use file-based bodies and typed line parameters. Repository paths are encoded for API routes.

- Around line 34-37: Update buildSuggestionGuidelines in
packages/github-bot/src/prompts.ts (lines 34-37) to require every line anchor to
be within a pull-request diff hunk, not only anchors using start_line; update
the corresponding README guidance and extend the regression coverage in
packages/github-bot/test/prompts.test.ts (lines 65-103) to verify out-of-diff
single-line anchors are rejected while valid anchors remain supported.
- Around line 158-168: Update the GitHub API route construction in the prompt
commands to use the shared repository-identity helper instead of interpolating
owner and repo separately. Split the repository identity at the last slash so
nested owners remain one encoded route segment, preserving correct routes for
inline comments and thread replies.

A fenced `suggestion` block inside a line-anchored review comment is what
GitHub renders with a "Commit suggestion" button, so the author applies the
fix in one click instead of re-implementing it. Nothing here calls the GitHub
API differently: the inline-comment command already carries path/line/side
and a commit_id, so applyability is purely a property of the comment body.
buildSuggestionGuidelines is shared by both prompts. The review prompt gains
range anchors and is told to prefer a suggestion whenever the fix is a
concrete local edit. The comment-action prompt gets the contract only when
replying to a review thread — the summary comment goes to
issues/{n}/comments, which has no line anchor, so a fence there is inert.
Two mechanical fixes were required to make the instructions work at all, both
verified live against the REST API:
- Comment bodies now go through `-F body=@<file>` instead of an inline
`-f body="…"`. A suggestion fence contains backticks, and backticks inside a
double-quoted shell argument are command substitution.
- `line` (and `start_line`) now go through `-F` rather than `-f`. `-f` is a raw
string field, and the API rejects a string line: `For 'properties/line', "3"
is not an integer`. The existing `-f line=<line number>` instruction could
not have produced an inline comment.
An applied suggestion is one click from merge, so the contract is strict:
verbatim replacement of the anchored lines, exact original indentation, no
diff markers or placeholders, and every anchor line falling inside a diff
hunk — a lone `line` anchor as much as either endpoint of a `start_line`
range. Because the sandbox has the head branch checked out, the agent must
check the diff, print the anchored lines, and validate the patched file
before emitting a fence, and fall back to prose when it cannot.
Two review fixes on top of the original submission:
- The diff-hunk requirement previously gated only `start_line` ranges, so a
single-line `line` anchor outside the diff could still be suggested and
would be rejected by the API with HTTP 422. The guidelines, README, and
tests now require every anchor — single-line or range — to fall inside a
`gh pr diff` hunk.
- Every `gh api repos/...` route embedded in these prompts now goes through
`encodeRepositoryPathSegments` from `@open-inspect/shared/types/repositories`
instead of raw `${owner}/${repo}` interpolation. A repository owner can be a
nested namespace (`group/subgroup`); without encoding, that produces an
extra path segment and the API reads the namespace's last component as the
repo name, so the bot can post neither inline comments nor thread replies.
Percent-encoding keeps the owner one route segment. Human-readable prose
(e.g. "Pull Request ColeMurray#42 in group/subgroup/widgets") is unaffected — only
routes are encoded.

What
Teach the PR-review agent to emit GitHub suggested changes — a fenced
```suggestionblock inside a line-anchored review comment, which GitHub renders with an Apply suggestion / Add suggestion to batch control. The author applies the fix in one click instead of re-implementing it from prose.This is what CodeRabbit and similar reviewers do, and it needs no new endpoint: the existing inline-comment command already carries
path/line/sideand acommit_id, so applyability is purely a property of the comment body.Changes

The prompt says so explicitly rather than letting the agent waste one.Two mechanical fixes the feature required
Both verified live against the REST API on a throwaway PR:
Comment bodies now use
-F body=@<file>instead of inline-f body=\"…\". A suggestion fence contains backticks, and backticks inside a double-quoted shell argument are command substitution. There is no safe way to inline one.lineandstart_linenow use-F(typed), not-f(raw string). This is a pre-existing bug:-fsends\"3\"and the API rejects it —```
POST /repos/{o}/{r}/pulls/{n}/comments
422: For 'properties/line', "3" is not an integer.
"line" is not a permitted key.
```
The current
-f line=<line number>instruction could not have produced an inline comment. With-F line=3the same request succeeds and round-trips{\"line\":3,\"side\":\"RIGHT\",\"subject_type\":\"line\"}.Why the contract is strict
An applied suggestion is one click from merge, so a wrong one is worse than none. The fence content replaces the anchored lines verbatim, which means wrong indentation applies cleanly and breaks the file. The guidelines therefore forbid diff markers, ellipses, placeholders, and surrounding context lines; require exact original whitespace; and prefer a single-line anchor with a multi-line fence body (one anchored line may be replaced by any number of lines) over a range whose endpoints might fall outside a diff hunk.
They also exploit something a hosted reviewer cannot: the sandbox has the PR head branch checked out. The agent must print the anchored lines (
sed -n 'START,ENDp'), confirm the fence is a correct verbatim replacement, apply it to a scratch copy, and run the file's cheapest correctness check — falling back to prose if any of that fails or if the real fix spans multiple files.Verification
line=3) and a multi-line range suggestion (start_line=2, line=3) both posted successfully via-F body=@file; bodies round-tripped byte-exact including leading whitespace; the rendered page containsjs-suggested-changes-blob, Apply suggestion, and Add suggestion to batch, i.e. both render as genuinely applyable.npm test -w @open-inspect/github-bot— 141 passed (7 new tests pinning the contract: fence present, typed line flags, file-based body, the verbatim/indentation/422/post NO fencerules, and reply-path-only gating with its negative case).tsc --noEmit -p packages/github-botclean; eslint clean; prettier applied.Prompt-text only — no runtime, API-client, or schema changes.
