agent remediation pr changed 400 files: ci rejected it - how to fix it

TL;DR

The error, verbatim

agent remediation pr changed 400 files: ci rejected it

Fix it step by step

Step 1

Set a file budget per agent PR: group fixes by rule, one rule per PR, and cap files per PR.

Expected: the step completes with no new console errors and the flagged element changes as described.

Step 2

Split the 400-file change into per-rule or per-directory PRs that reviewers can actually read.

Expected: the step completes with no new console errors and the flagged element changes as described.

Step 3

Re-run CI per PR; small PRs pass gates that giant ones trip.

Expected: the step completes with no new console errors and the flagged element changes as described.

Step 4

Add the budget to the agent's instructions so the next run chunks itself.

Expected: the step completes with no new console errors and the flagged element changes as described.

When to use this skill

• Your scan report lists this exact rule or failure
• You are clearing automated accessibility failures before release or audit
• A CI accessibility gate is red because of this item

When NOT to use this skill

• Bulk remediation is fine; bulk pull requests are not.
• The issue only appears in manual screen-reader testing and no automated rule flags it
• You are doing a full manual WCAG audit; this skill covers one automated check

Compatibility

Agent workflow guardrail; CI config file-budget or PR-size check.

Variant phrasings

agent remediation pr 400 files ci rejected

Same underlying issue and the same fix. Searchers phrase it different ways; the remediation does not change.

Why it happens

The agent's remediation PR touched 400 files and CI rejected it, usually for size limits or merge conflicts. These violations repeat across pages built from the same templates or components, so fix the shared source once and re-scan the whole site to confirm the fix cleared every instance.
