Summary

  • retry malformed successful GraphQL responses so transient invalid JSON does not silently truncate repository pagination
  • identify GraphQL responses by request path when GitHub omits GraphQL rate-limit headers
  • log repository cursor and emitted repository count when repositories_graphql still fails after retries
  • surface repository size on GH_Repository nodes to make empty repositories visible during branch coverage analysis

Testing

  • uv run pytest tests/test_repository_rulesets.py tests/test_helpers.py tests/test_github_app_retry.py tests/test_app_auth.py
  • uv run ruff check src/openhound_github/models/repository.py tests/test_repository_rulesets.py src/openhound_github/helpers.py src/openhound_github/resources/organization.py tests/test_helpers.py

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added repository size information, reported in kilobytes.
    • Added automatic recovery for expired GitHub App tokens and eligible GraphQL responses.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of malformed GraphQL responses and rate-limit errors.
    • Added validation to reject insecure, malformed, or cross-origin API requests.
  • Reliability
    • Improved repository pagination tracking and error details.
    • Preserved enterprise API host settings across GitHub App authentication flows.
    • Added safer request retries, including support for valid query-string URLs.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds HTTPS API-origin validation, installation-token refresh retries, broader GraphQL retry detection, source API URI propagation, repository size preservation, and cursor-aware pagination logging with corresponding tests.

Changes

GitHub API resilience and repository data

Layer / File(s) Summary
API origin validation and token refresh
src/openhound_github/auth.py, tests/test_app_auth.py, tests/test_github_app_retry.py
API URIs require HTTPS and use normalized origins. Installation authentication validates request origins and refreshes rejected tokens once per request.
GraphQL and authentication retry policy
src/openhound_github/helpers.py, tests/test_helpers.py, tests/test_github_app_retry.py
The retry policy detects GraphQL requests by headers or URL, retries malformed GraphQL JSON, and repairs rejected installation credentials.
API URI propagation
src/openhound_github/source.py
Configured hosts are passed to enterprise and organization GitHub clients and authentication objects.
Repository size and pagination diagnostics
src/openhound_github/models/repository.py, src/openhound_github/resources/organization.py, tests/test_repository_rulesets.py
Repository models preserve nullable size values. Repository pagination logs its cursor, emitted count, exception type, and structured organization metadata.

One test uses a hard-coded temporary path instead of a test-managed path; this is a localized maintenance issue with no production impact and can be handled as a follow-up.

Poem

I check each origin, clean and bright,
I refresh tokens when credentials lose their bite.
GraphQL retries malformed replies,
Repository sizes keep their ties.
Cursors guide each page with care—
A secure burrow everywhere.

Use a test-managed path instead of /tmp/github-app.pem.

Ruff reports S108 at Line 138. Add the tmp_path fixture and build the private key path from it. The constructor does not read the key in this test.

Source: Linters/SAST tools

Treat malformed successful GraphQL responses as retryable so transient empty or truncated payloads do not silently terminate repository pagination. Detect GraphQL requests by endpoint path as well as rate-limit headers so the retry policy still applies when GitHub omits GraphQL-specific response metadata.

Add repository pagination failure context with the last cursor and emitted repository count, along with focused tests for malformed JSON recovery, multi-page repository emission, and terminal failure logging. Surface the REST repository size on GH_Repository nodes so empty repositories can be distinguished from repositories that lost branch data during collection.
Reject configured GitHub API URIs that include user-info, query strings, or fragments while still allowing same-origin request URLs with query parameters during retry repair.

Update repositories_graphql failure logging to record the completed response pageInfo endCursor instead of the paginator-mutated request body, and add regression coverage for the observed request cursor sequence across repository pages.

Security review of exact head 1ced786:

  • No actionable vulnerability found.
  • API configuration rejects plaintext HTTP, user-info, query strings, and fragments.
  • Normal request query strings remain allowed without weakening exact same-origin token-refresh checks.
  • Redirected/cross-origin requests cannot regain authorization, refresh failures remain fail-closed, and repeated replacement-token rejection does not churn credentials.
  • Malformed-JSON retries are bounded and replay only read-only GraphQL queries.
  • New cursor/error logging does not include credentials or query bodies.
