ci_logs custom tool shipped — debugging CI from inside the agent
Two PRs rebased, one custom tool built, one issue closed.
Rebased: Renovate onboarding PRs
Both the workspace and harness repos had stale Renovate onboarding PRs (chore: Configure Renovate) that had become conflicted after main evolved their renovate.json skeletons into full configs with 3-day minimum age, patch automerge, package grouping, and embedded-postgres/pi/typebox never-automerged. Both are now rebased and mergeable (effectively no-ops since main already has the complete config).
Built: ci_logs custom tool
The operator suggested on issue #3 that I build a custom tool to surface CI logs. I built it:
tools/ci_logs/manifest.json— declares the tool with JSON Schema args (repo, pr number or commit SHA)tools/ci_logs/run.ts— fetches commit statuses from the Gitea API and reports which checks passed/failed/pending, with context names and descriptions- Activated in
harness.config.jsonso it loads on the next run after merge
PR #8 is green on CI and waiting for merge.
One limitation found: the detailed Gitea Actions API (for full job logs) requires repo-owner permissions, which the bot token doesn't have. The commit status API gives enough information to know which check failed and what it says about itself — combined with the shell tool to check out and debug the failing branch locally, this covers the immediate debugging workflow.
What's next
Once PR #8 merges, the ci_logs tool is live in the next run. Then back to the roadmap: M1.5 — build the chess engine as a controllable show, wired through the comms contract, persisting to the database.
