d1ebfe00cf feat: Add duplicate PR prevention tools (#1474)
Some checks failed
CI / test (pull_request) Failing after 49s
CI / validate (pull_request) Failing after 46s
Review Approval Gate / verify-review (pull_request) Successful in 5s
Add pre-flight check tools to prevent duplicate PRs from being created
for the same issue. This addresses the irony of creating duplicate PRs
for issue #1128 which was about cleaning up duplicate PRs.

Changes:
- Added scripts/check-existing-prs.sh - Bash script to check for existing PRs
- Added scripts/check_existing_prs.py - Python version of the check
- Added scripts/pr-safe.sh - User-friendly wrapper with guidance
- Added docs/duplicate-pr-prevention.md - Documentation and usage guide

These tools should be run BEFORE creating a new PR to check if there
are already open PRs for the same issue. This prevents the ironic
situation of creating duplicate PRs while trying to clean up duplicate PRs.

The tools provide:
- Clear exit codes (0: safe, 1: duplicates found, 2: error)
- Detailed information about existing PRs
- Guidance on what to do instead of creating duplicates
- Both bash and Python implementations for different preferences

Closes #1474

# Duplicate PR Prevention Tools
## Problem
Despite having tools to detect and clean up duplicate PRs, agents were still creating duplicate PRs for the same issue. This was incredibly ironic, especially for issue #1128 which was about cleaning up duplicate PRs.
## Solution
We've created pre-flight check tools that agents should run **before** creating a new PR. These tools check if there are already open PRs for a given issue and prevent duplicate PR creation.
## Tools
### 1. `check-existing-prs.sh` (Bash)
Check if PRs already exist for an issue.
```bash
# Check for existing PRs for issue #1128
./scripts/check-existing-prs.sh 1128
# With custom repo and token
GITEA_TOKEN="your-token" REPO="owner/repo" ./scripts/check-existing-prs.sh 1128
```
**Exit codes:**
- `0`: No existing PRs found (safe to create new PR)
- `1`: Existing PRs found (do not create new PR)
- `2`: Error (API failure, missing parameters, etc.)
### 2. `check_existing_prs.py` (Python)
Python version of the check, suitable for agents that prefer Python.
```bash
# Check for existing PRs for issue #1128
python3 scripts/check_existing_prs.py 1128
# With custom repo and token
python3 scripts/check_existing_prs.py 1128 "owner/repo" "your-token"
```
### 3. `pr-safe.sh` (Wrapper)
User-friendly wrapper that provides guidance.
```bash
# Check and get suggestions
./scripts/pr-safe.sh 1128
# With suggested branch name
./scripts/pr-safe.sh 1128 fix/1128-my-fix
```
## Workflow Integration
### For Agents
Before creating a PR, agents should:
1. Run the check: `./scripts/check-existing-prs.sh <issue_number>`
2. If exit code is `0`, proceed with PR creation
3. If exit code is `1`, review existing PRs instead
### For Humans
Before creating a PR:
1. Run: `./scripts/pr-safe.sh <issue_number>`
2. Follow the guidance provided
## Prevention Strategy
### 1. Pre-flight Checks
Always run a pre-flight check before creating a PR:
```bash
# In your agent workflow
if ./scripts/check-existing-prs.sh $ISSUE_NUMBER; then
# Safe to create PR
create_pr
else
# Don't create PR, review existing ones
review_existing_prs
fi
```
### 2. GitHub Actions Integration
The existing `.github/workflows/pr-duplicate-check.yml` workflow can be enhanced to run these checks automatically.
### 3. Agent Instructions
Add to agent instructions:
```
Before creating a PR for an issue, ALWAYS run:
./scripts/check-existing-prs.sh <issue_number>
If PRs already exist, DO NOT create a new PR.
Instead, review existing PRs and add comments or merge them.
```
## Examples
### Example 1: Check for Issue #1128
```bash
$ ./scripts/check-existing-prs.sh 1128
[2026-04-14T18:54:00Z] ⚠️ Found existing PRs for issue #1128:
PR #1458: feat: Close duplicate PRs for issue #1128 (branch: dawn/1128-1776130053, created: 2026-04-14T02:06:39Z)
PR #1455: feat: Forge cleanup triage — file issues for duplicate PRs (#1128) (branch: triage/1128-1776129677, created: 2026-04-14T02:01:46Z)
❌ Do not create a new PR. Review existing PRs first.
```
### Example 2: Safe to Create PR
```bash
$ ./scripts/check-existing-prs.sh 9999
[2026-04-14T18:54:00Z] ✅ No existing PRs found for issue #9999
Safe to create a new PR
```
## Related Issues
- Issue #1474: [META] Still creating duplicate PRs for issue #1128 despite cleanup
- Issue #1460: [META] I keep creating duplicate PRs for issue #1128
- Issue #1128: [RESOLVED] Forge Cleanup — PRs Closed, Milestones Deduplicated, Policy Issues Filed
## Lessons Learned
1. **Prevention > Cleanup**: It's better to prevent duplicate PRs than to clean them up later
2. **Agent Discipline**: Agents need explicit instructions to check before creating PRs
3. **Tooling Matters**: Having the right tools makes it easier to follow best practices
4. **Irony Awareness**: Be aware when you're creating the problem you're trying to solve

# Bezalel UltraPlan — 2026-04-07 18:53 UTC
**Mode:** Claw Code — inspect deep, plan hard, execute relentlessly. Zero idling tolerated.
---
## Situation Report
| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| My open issues | 92 |
| Unassigned open issues | 92 |
| Active blockers | 3 |
| Poka-yoke issues open | 0 |

## North Star (The One Thing)
**Issue #882:** [M6-P3] Resurrection Pool — health polling, dead-agent detection, auto-revive
- URL: https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus/issues/882
- Created: 2026-04-06T15:28:38Z
- **Done condition:** _Move this issue to a measurable next state (PR opened, test passing, blocker cleared, or documented failure mode)._
---
## Today's Attack Plan
### 1. Unblock (First 90 Minutes)
- [ ] Address the North Star issue directly. No meetings, no yak shaving.
- [ ] If blocked on external input, escalate in Timmy Time with specific ask.
### 2. Burn Down (Next 2 Hours)
- [ ] #1117 — [PROPOSAL] Conversation Artifacts System: Organized Alexander request/response rooms in MemPalace
- [ ] #1116 — [SOVEREIGN DIRECTIVE] Every wizard must catalog Alexander's requests and responses as artifacts
- [ ] #1115 — [MEMORY] MemPalace Status Report: 283 drawers indexed, zero-API semantic memory active
### 3. Harden (Next 90 Minutes)
- [ ] Advance one poka-yoke issue toward a structural prevention.
- [ ] Run a security/reliability scan (world-readable secrets, stale heartbeats, dead runners).
### 4. Report (End of Day)
- [ ] Update this issue with what moved, what blocked, and tomorrow's North Star.
- [ ] Ensure all closed work has a clear paper trail (commit, comment, or closure note).
---
## Blockers Requiring Eyes
- **#882** — [M6-P3] Resurrection Pool — health polling, dead-agent detection, auto-revive → https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus/issues/882
- **#707** — [RELIABILITY] Eliminate visible 404 and dead-control states in production Nexus → https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus/issues/707
- **#694** — [HARNESS] Replace dead `/api/world/ws` path with a real Hermes world-state bridge → https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus/issues/694
---
## Poka-Yoke Backlog (Mistake-Proofing Queue)
- No poka-yoke issues found.
---
## Anti-Idling Protocol
If the North Star is blocked and no burn-down items are actionable within 15 minutes:
1. Check Night Watch logs for anything stale.
2. Pick the oldest unassigned issue in the-nexus.
3. If no issues exist, run `bezalel-forge-scan` and file findings.
4. If still nothing, document infrastructure state and commit to reports repo.
**Clock is ticking. Forge on.** 🔥

- Repository cloning: May hit timeout on slow clones
### Confidence Level
- High confidence: 800+ commits, 150+ PRs
- Medium confidence: 1,000+ commits, 200+ PRs
