def detect_destructive(files: list[dict], threshold: float = 0.5) -> list[str]:
    flagged = []
    for f in files:
        if f.get("status") == "modified" and f.get("deletions", 0) > 0:
            total = f.get("additions", 0) + f.get("deletions", 0)
            if total > 0 and f["deletions"] / total > threshold:
                flagged.append(f["filename"])
    return flagged


Prompt: Create a typed Python utility that Write a Python function that finds issues created by a specific user in a Gitea repo. Include error handling.

Response:
def find_issues_by_author(issues: list[dict], username: str) -> list[dict]:
    return [i for i in issues if i.get("user", {}).get("login") == username]


Prompt: Write a robust, production-ready function that Write a Python function that rebases a feature branch onto the base branch before opening a PR. Handle empty responses gracefully.

Response:
import subprocess

def rebase_branch(feature: str, base: str = "main"):
    subprocess.run(["git", "checkout", feature], check=True, capture_output=True)
    subprocess.run(["git", "fetch", "origin", base], check=True, capture_output=True)
    subprocess.run(["git", "rebase", f"origin/{base}"], check=True, capture_output=True)
