Fix this in Help center by grant approvers the review permission that includes comparing versions, add the approver to the article space or brand, and have the approver open the diff for the pending change before approving anything.

Fixes this failure: make the agent post to the private timeline by default and require an explicit public flag for any external update. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.
Fixes GraphQL 'query complexity limit exceeded' errors when an agent fetches all review threads on a PR. Use it when a single big threads query is rejected for being too expensive. Key trigger: the complexity-limit error on a review-threads query.
Fixes agents reviewing closed PRs by checking PR state before posting. Use when the agent posts to merged/closed PRs. Not for reviews posted before close.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent auto-closed a ticket the customer was still replying to: race condition - auto-close agent closed an active p1 ticket: stale-status race condition
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent posted a review on an already-closed PR: race condition
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes agents hitting GitHub secondary rate limits by batching review comments. Use when bulk comment posting triggers abuse detection. Not for primary rate-limit exhaustion.
Fixes agents failing to resolve review threads via GraphQL by using the correct mutation and thread IDs. Use when the resolve mutation errors. Not for REST-based thread resolution.
Fixes review agents silently losing comments past GitHub's inline comment limits by batching and summarizing. Use when some agent comments never appear. Not for comments rejected with errors.
Fixes review agents reviewing the base branch instead of the PR head by fetching the correct ref. Use when the review discusses code not in the PR. Not for stale-head reviews.
Fixes review-agent diff chunkers that split mid-function by chunking on syntactic boundaries. Use when review comments blame the wrong lines. Not for wrong-file attributions.
Fixes review agents double-posting identical reviews by adding idempotency. Use when the same review appears twice on a PR. Not for two genuinely different reviews.
Fixes review agents posting inline comments as top-level by correcting diff position mapping. Use when line comments appear as general comments. Not for comments on wrong lines within the diff.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - review agent failed to map comment positions: commented on lines outside the diff: how to fix - review agent failed to quote the right code line: off-by-one in diff position: how to fix
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent posted inline comments as top-level: diff position mapping failed
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes review agents commenting on the wrong PR due to pagination indexing bugs. Use when agent comments land on a different PR than intended. Not for comments on the right PR but wrong lines.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - review agent failed to refresh line numbers after a force push: stale commit references: how to fix - GitHub token expired mid-run while the review agent posted line comments
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent posted review comments to the wrong PR number after pagination
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes Greptile review timeouts on large PRs by shrinking the review scope. Use when Greptile times out instead of posting a review. Not for Greptile findings disputes.
Fixes review agents crashing on deleted PR branches by handling 404s gracefully. Use when the branch is deleted mid-review. Not for 404s on the PR itself.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent hit secondary rate limit mid-diff-fetch: abuse detection mechanism triggered - code review agent froze mid-annotation on a minified bundle diff
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent diff fetch 404d: PR branch deleted mid-review
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes review agents degrading to plain comments by granting the token write scope or documenting the limitation. Use when the agent cannot submit formal reviews. Not for agents with write access.
Fixes Brave Search API 422 on the goggles parameter: format, encoding, and when to drop it. Use when queries with goggles 422 but the same query without goggles works. Not for 401 auth or 429 rate limits.
Fixes comment balloons being parsed as body text and inflating diff change counts. Use when most reported changes are margin comments, not edits. Covers extracting annotations separately from body text, diffing body only, and reporting comments as their own list. Not for real tracked-change edits.
