feat: outcomes dataset + bootstrap/continual split via skills (#1365)

* fix: reset stale sandbox creation sentinel Co-authored-by: Johannes du Plessis <51395795+johannes117@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: treat SANDBOX_CREATING as a timestamped cross-process lock Only reset the sentinel when proven stale (older than the creation timeout); otherwise wait for the worker that holds the lock so a concurrent run does not create a duplicate sandbox. * feat(analyzer): outcomes dataset + bootstrap/continual split via skills Rename the review_style_analyzer graph to `analyzer` and split it into two modes, plus capture reviewer finding outcomes for continual learning. - Outcomes dataset: upsert resolved-by-commit (positive), dismissed (false positive), and GitHub/Slack thumbs findings into a single LangSmith dataset (openswe-reviewer-outcomes), keyed deterministically per finding+source. Emit points wired into update_finding, resolve_finding_thread, and the GitHub/Slack reaction handlers. - Two playbooks delivered as deepagents skills (bootstrap-repo-analysis, continual-learning), served as virtual files via a CompositeBackend /skills/ route + StateBackend (seeded into the run files channel at invoke time, never written to the sandbox). Mode is set by the launcher; continual runs fall back to the GitHub App installation token. - Split launcher into start_bootstrap_analysis + start_continual_run; register a per-repo nightly continual-learning cron when bootstrap completes. - New read_finding_outcomes tool feeds confirmed/dismissed findings back to the continual playbook. Tests for outcome label mapping, skills helper, and cron idempotency. * fix(analyzer): anchor continual cron runs to a real thread_id The nightly continual-learning cron is threadless, and get_analyzer early-returns an empty agent when configurable.thread_id is missing — so every cron-launched run no-op'd before reading outcomes or saving a refined prompt. Include the repo's deterministic analyzer thread_id in the continual run configurable so the run executes; the threadless run carries no message history, so nightly runs don't accumulate context. * refactor(analyzer): move cron lifecycle calls out of the review-styles store Drop the inline `analyzer_cron` imports from review_styles.py (added only to dodge a circular import) by relocating the cron-trigger calls to the layer above the store: registration to the save_review_style tool (after a prompt is saved) and removal to the dashboard delete route. review_styles.py is now a pure store again with top-level imports only. * refactor: hoist reviewer_outcomes imports to module level Move the two inline emit_finding_status_outcome imports introduced in this PR (update_finding, resolve_finding_thread) to top-level imports. reviewer_outcomes only depends on langsmith, so there is no circular import to avoid. --------- Co-authored-by: open-swe[bot] <open-swe@users.noreply.github.com>

+name: bootstrap-repo-analysis
+description: First-time analysis of a repository with no prior reviewer outcomes. Crawl historical merged-PR review feedback with the gh CLI (plus any preloaded samples), extract the team's review norms, and synthesize the initial per-repo review-style prompt. Use this for a cold-start repo; use continual-learning instead once the reviewer has accumulated finding outcomes.
+---
+
+# Bootstrap repo analysis
+
+You are writing the **first** review-style prompt for the repository named in the
+system prompt. There is no outcomes history yet, so your signal comes entirely from
+the repo's own historical PR review feedback. Do not call `read_finding_outcomes` in
+this mode — it will be empty.
+
+Always invoke gh as: `GH_TOKEN=dummy gh <command>`.
+
+## 1. Research (required)
+
+Browse historical **merged** PR review feedback until you have catalogued at least
+**8 substantive human** review comments (skip `[bot]` accounts and obvious automation
+like codecov / dependabot). Useful commands:
+
+```
+GH_TOKEN=dummy gh pr list --repo <owner>/<repo> --state merged --limit 30
+GH_TOKEN=dummy gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<PR_NUMBER>/reviews
+GH_TOKEN=dummy gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<PR_NUMBER>/comments
+GH_TOKEN=dummy gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<PR_NUMBER>/comments
+```
+
+If the first batch is sparse, raise `--limit` or walk older PR numbers. The user
+message may include **preloaded samples** — verify and extend them with `gh`, don't
+just trust them.
+
+Identify the top ~5 human reviewers by volume and note their phrasing, what severity
+they assign, and what they routinely ignore.
+
+## 2. Extract concrete, repo-specific patterns
+
+The highest-value content is a **bug taxonomy tied to this repo's stack** — concrete
+"hunt for X" rules a maintainer would catch on first read — plus a calibrated "do not
+flag" list. Pair each pattern with the failure mode and, where you saw it, the kind of
+diff that triggered it. Avoid generic advice that would apply to any repo.
+
+Cover:
+- What the team routinely flags vs. skips (paraphrased patterns, not invented quotes)
+- Severity calibration tied to user-visible / runtime consequence
+- Tone and test expectations
+- Repo-specific conventions (frameworks, repository/data-access boundaries, naming)
+- Anti-patterns the reviewers here deliberately avoid
+
+Stay aligned with the reviewer-agent themes in the system prompt (high-signal,
+diff-anchored defects — not nits).
+
+## 3. Save
+
+Only after real research, call `save_review_style_prompt` once with:
+- `custom_prompt`: 400–1200 words teaching the reviewer this repo's norms.
+- `analysis_summary`: 2–4 sentences for the dashboard.
+- `top_reviewers` (comma-separated logins), `prs_sampled`, `reviews_sampled`.
+
+Do **not** save a generic guide after one or two commands. Only after ~25+ merged PRs
+with zero human feedback may you save a short, conservative guide — and say so in
+`analysis_summary`.

+description: Nightly refinement of an existing per-repo review-style prompt using this reviewer's own finding outcomes. Read confirmed (resolved-by-commit / thumbs-up) and dismissed (thumbs-down) findings, promote the bug patterns the team actually fixes, demote the false-positive patterns, reconcile against the current prompt, and save the refined version. Use this once outcomes exist; use bootstrap-repo-analysis for a cold-start repo.
+---
+
+# Continual learning
+
+You are **refining** the existing review-style prompt for the repository named in the
+system prompt, using outcomes the reviewer has accrued since the last run. The goal is
+to raise recall (catch more real bugs) without hurting precision (stop repeating
+dismissed ones).
+
+## 1. Read outcomes first
+
+Call `read_finding_outcomes` once. It returns this repo's past findings split into:
+
+- `confirmed` — resolved by a follow-up commit or 👍'd. These are **real** bug patterns
+  this team fixes. Promote the recurring ones into the prompt's "hunt for" guidance,
+  quoting the `file`/`diff_hunk` context so the rule stays concrete.
+- `dismissed` — dismissed or 👎'd. These are **false-positive** patterns. Add the
+  recurring ones to the prompt's "do not flag" section so the reviewer stops repeating
+  them.
+
+Look for repetition, not one-offs. A single dismissed finding is noise; the same class
+dismissed several times is a rule.
+
+## 2. Reconcile against the current prompt
+
+The current `custom_prompt` is the starting point — you are editing it, not rewriting
+from scratch. Read it (it is summarized for you / available via the dashboard record).
+Keep what still holds, strengthen rules the outcomes confirm, and remove or soften rules
+the outcomes contradict. Optionally do a **light** `gh` top-up
+(`GH_TOKEN=dummy gh ...`) to confirm a pattern, but outcomes are the primary signal — do
+not re-run a full PR crawl.
+
+Stay aligned with the reviewer-agent themes in the system prompt.
+
+## 3. Save
+
+Call `save_review_style_prompt` once with the refined `custom_prompt` (400–1200 words),
+an `analysis_summary` that names what changed this cycle (e.g. "promoted N-pattern after
+3 confirmed fixes; dropped M-pattern after repeated dismissals"), and the
+`top_reviewers` / counts you have. If outcomes were empty and nothing changed, say so in
+`analysis_summary` and re-save the existing prompt unchanged rather than degrading it.

+Every time a published finding is resolved (a later commit fixed it),
+dismissed (false positive / human pushback), or gets a 👍/👎 reaction, we
+upsert one labelled example into a single LangSmith dataset. The ``analyzer``
+graph reads these per-repo to refine its review-style prompts: confirmed
+findings teach what to hunt for, dismissed ones teach what to skip.
