Problem

Agents answering "find threads with open PRs" or "which thread has PR #22889 attached" had no structured way to ask. t3_thread_list could not filter by linked PR, so agents paged through threads and filtered by hand. t3_thread_search matched PR numbers and URLs in chat messages, so it returned threads that only mentioned the PR.

Change

  • t3_thread_list accepts pullRequestStates (open, closed, merged), pullRequestNumber, and pullRequestUrl. Filters apply to visible linked PRs, so dismissed stack links are ignored. A link without a synced snapshot never matches a state filter.
  • includeSubagents keeps its historical default (true when omitted). Pass includeSubagents: false for triage without subagent noise.
  • t3_thread_search labels hits on a linked PR as source: "pull_request" and returns the matched PR. Queries that are a PR number, #n, owner/repo#n, or a pull URL and match a linked PR skip message search, so mention-only threads no longer crowd out the thread that links the PR.
  • Tool descriptions point agents to t3_thread_list for open-PR triage and specific-PR lookups.
  • Matching helpers live in packages/shared/src/threadPullRequests.ts. The filter schema lives in packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts.
  • Adds eval cases for the two prompts in evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/orchestration.ndjson.
  • Bumps mcpToolListJsonBytes in apps/server/src/provider/agentContextBudget.json to 48472 (main: 48217) for the new filter schema.

This is MCP-only. There is no web, desktop, or mobile UI change.

Scope and approval

This is a feature, not a bug fix. It extends the existing thread MCP tools with linked-PR filters, following the maintainer's request to improve how agents query threads. No issue is linked.

The tool schema grows, so this PR needs the agent-context-increase label.

Verification

  • New tests cover the list PR filters (OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts), linked-PR search identity and mention skipping (ThreadSearch.test.ts), filter input decoding (orchestratorMcp.test.ts), and the identity and filter helpers (threadPullRequests.test.ts).
  • Focused tests and AgentContextBudget.test.ts pass on the latest fix.
  • Not run: the new eval cases (paid models).
  • No UI change, so no screenshots.

Produced with the Cursor harness.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The PR adds linked-pull-request filters and richer search results, but also excludes subagent threads by default for existing callers that omit includeSubagents. Human review is required to confirm that default change is intentional and acceptable.

Needs human approval because:

Walkthrough

Thread listing now accepts pull-request state and identity filters. Thread search can match linked pull requests by number or reference and return pull-request details. The mobile workspace also updates Knip configuration to ignore nitrogen.

Changes: Pull-request thread discovery

Pull-request filter contracts and matching
packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.ts, packages/contracts/src/orchestratorMcp.test.ts, packages/shared/src/threadPullRequests.ts, packages/shared/src/threadPullRequests.test.ts
The thread-list input accepts optional pull-request state, number, and URL filters. Shared helpers match visible linked pull requests by identity and state. Tests cover input decoding, identity matching, and state filtering.

Search results can identify a linked pull request and include its number, repository, and URL. For identity queries with a matching title hit, search returns title hits without adding message hits. Tests cover linked pull-request matches and message-only matches.

Mobile dependency detection

Explanation

The description includes all required sections and explains the problem, change, and verification. However, it does not link the maintainer approval required for this feature, and its details conflict with the supplied PR context: the includeSubagents default and tool-list byte counts differ. The agent disclosure names the Cursor harness but not the model.

Resolution

Update the description to match the current PR state, including the includeSubagents default and current tool-list byte counts. Link the maintainer discussion and explicit approval for the feature scope. If an agent was used, add the model name alongside the Cursor harness.

Takeover update (head 2d5183ce79):

  • Merged current main with a merge commit (no rebase). Conflicts were the ThreadSearch.ts imports (kept main's messageSearchText plus this PR's PR-matching helpers) and agentContextBudget.json. Re-measured mcpToolListJsonBytes: 48130, 1 byte under main's 48131, so the budget check needs no label.
  • vp run check:changed passes on the merged head: format, lint, knip, typecheck (41 packages), and the 7 affected test files (110 tests).
  • Earlier review findings are addressed on this branch: anchored PR URL matching, message search skipped only when a linked PR matched, state and identity checked on the same link, and includeSubagents unchanged from main (the Macroscope approvability concern no longer applies).

Assert includeSubagents in the list tests.

The list tests do not check the includeSubagents value passed to listProjectThreads. The mocks at OrchestratorMcpService.test.ts:3524 and :3618 do not assert this field, and no test in that file references it. A regression that changes the omitted default to true, or drops an explicit true, would not fail.

Extend an existing list-tool test instead of adding a new one. Add two cases to the same table or test: one where includeSubagents is omitted and the mock receives false, and one where it is true and the mock receives true.

Identify linked-PR hits before limiting title candidates.

With limit: 1, a thread titled 4101 outranks a thread linked to PR #4101: an exact title receives a ranking bonus. The slice runs before matchThreadSearchPullRequest, so the linked thread never becomes a pull_request hit. Prioritize linked-PR identity matches before applying the result limit.

Require state and identity to match the same PR.

If a thread links merged PR #10 and open PR #11, pullRequest: { number: 10 } with pullRequestStates: ["open"] returns that thread. threadMatchesPullRequestListFilters checks each condition with a separate visible.some, so PR #11 satisfies the state condition for PR #10. Apply both conditions to one visible link when both filters are supplied. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Support filtering by visible PR presence

t3_thread_list cannot request threads with any visible linked PR or threads without one. Callers must filter returned pages themselves, so page boundaries and totals still include nonmatching threads. Add explicit presence semantics to the list filter and matcher, including links without synced state.

3025-3031: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Return an error for an unparseable pullRequest value.

When parseThreadListPullRequestFilter returns null, the filter drops every thread. The caller gets total: 0 and cannot tell a bad filter from no matches. For example, "open auth" or "merged" yields an empty list. The tool description lists only open, a number, or a URL. Fail with failure("invalid_request", ...) before filtering. Parse once, outside the per-thread callback.

Proposed fix

+      const rawPullRequest = input.pullRequest?.trim();
+      const pullRequestFilter =
+        rawPullRequest === undefined || rawPullRequest.length === 0
+          ? undefined
+          : parseThreadListPullRequestFilter(rawPullRequest);
+      if (pullRequestFilter === null) {
+        return yield* failure(
+          "invalid_request",
+          "pullRequest must be `open`, a PR number, or a pull request URL.",
+        );
+      }
       ...
-        .filter((thread) => {
-          const raw = input.pullRequest?.trim();
-          if (raw === undefined || raw.length === 0) return true;
-          const parsed = parseThreadListPullRequestFilter(raw);
-          if (parsed === null) return false;
-          return threadMatchesPullRequestListFilters(thread.pullRequests, parsed);
-        });
+        .filter(
+          (thread) =>
+            pullRequestFilter === undefined ||
+            threadMatchesPullRequestListFilters(thread.pullRequests, pullRequestFilter),
+        );

19-33: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Validate the parsed PR number range.

LIST_PULL_REQUEST_NUMBER accepts any digit string. Number("99999999999999999999999") yields a float such as 1e+23. That value never equals a real PR number. The filter then silently returns no threads instead of an error. Reject values that are not safe positive integers. The same gap exists in matchThreadSearchPullRequest (Line 193).

Proposed fix

-  if (numberMatch !== null) return { pullRequest: { number: Number(numberMatch[1]) } };
+  if (numberMatch !== null) {
+    const number = Number(numberMatch[1]);
+    if (!Number.isSafeInteger(number) || number < 1) return null;
+    return { pullRequest: { number } };
+  }

Based on learnings: validate parsed numeric identifiers against a sane range before use.

Allow single-digit PR number queries.

The inherited query schema requires at least two characters, so a search for PR 1 fails validation. (raw.githubusercontent.com) The new PR lookup supports number queries, and #1 works, but the bare number does not. Allow single-digit PR numbers at this tool boundary.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Reject out-of-range PR numbers in the list-filter parser.

LIST_PULL_REQUEST_NUMBER and LIST_PULL_REQUEST_REPO_NUMBER accept any digit string. Number("99999999999999999999999") returns 1e+23, which is not a safe integer. Such a value then never matches a link number. It also gives a misleading result for 0. Use Number.isSafeInteger and require a value greater than 0. Return null otherwise.

Proposed fix

+const toPullRequestNumber = (digits: string | undefined): number | null => {
+  const value = Number(digits);
+  return Number.isSafeInteger(value) && value > 0 ? value : null;
+};

In parseThreadListPullRequestFilter, call toPullRequestNumber for both regex matches. Return null when the helper returns null.

Based on learnings: "validate the parsed number against a sane range ... reject or drop values outside the expected range rather than rendering them."

Describe when message search is skipped.

When a PR identity query matches a linked PR, ThreadSearch.searchThreads returns without searching messages. The description says it searches message text, so an agent may overlook threads that only mention the PR. State this exception in the description. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Cap the unbounded pullRequestStates array.

statuses uses Schema.isMaxLength(10). pullRequestStates has no bound. PullRequestState has only three values. A client can send a very long array of duplicates. The service builds a Set from it, so the cost is small. Add a max length of 3 for consistency.

Proposed fix

-  pullRequestStates: Schema.optional(Schema.Array(PullRequestState)),
+  pullRequestStates: Schema.optional(Schema.Array(PullRequestState).check(Schema.isMaxLength(3))),

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Confirm the includeSubagents default matches the PR description.

Line 2993 keeps includeSubagents !== false, so an omitted value means true. This matches the PR description. A PR comment says maintainer sign-off is needed for a false default. This code does not change the default. Resolve the PR discussion before merge.

The PR lists pullRequestNumber and pullRequestUrl as separate filters. When both are set, a link must match both. This is correct, but the tool description does not say so.

Restore includeSubagents omit=true so existing callers are unchanged, shorten the new list/search copy, and remeasure the tool-list budget after the filter schema.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 6a0d488473a54444e37a35b3d75816c1f105b0e7 on linux, after reproducing on github/main at b883156e269de2002873aebdef6019f336b687a7.

used separate checkouts and isolated app state, vp i, and one background dev server at a time. playwright drove /usr/bin/google-chrome. created the real repository project and two threads through the web app, using actual codex gpt-6.1-sol turns. the provider linked this pr to one thread; the other only mentioned its number. carried that app-created data from main to the pr checkout. no mocks or seeded fixtures.

observed persisted provider MCP inputs and results:

                                       main                  pr head
list pullRequest="31508"               both threads          linked thread only
list pullRequest="987654321"           both threads          empty
search query="31508"                   linked + mention      linked only, source=pull_request
search query="987654321"               message hit           message hit preserved

open, pingdotgg/t3code#31508, and the git.cafe pr url with /files also returned only the linked thread. closed and merged correctly excluded the open link. search by that url returned the matched pr metadata. unfiltered pagination (limit:1, then cursor:1) returned both distinct threads, and ordinary title search retained source:"title".

99 tests across the five focused list/search/contracts/helper/context-budget files passed through blacksmith-check. current github ci is green. no source changes or pushes were needed.

provider command transcript

main: provider search returns the linked thread and mention-only thread

pr head: real codex results preserve pagination and message search while identifying the linked pr

Not verified

native mobile and desktop shells were not exercised on this linux vm. other provider adapters, other forge integrations, positive closed/merged matches, dismissed stack links, unsynced snapshots, and subagent filtering were not exercised through real app data. the new prompt-selection evals were not run. the sidebar search uses a separate path and still shows message mentions; this verification concerns the changed MCP list/search tools.
