SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a GitHub issue is in the Validate stage of a Fabrik-driven pipeline, user comments requesting re-runs, minor fixes, or clarifications need disciplined handling without prematurely advancing the workflow or making unrequested changes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feedback-driven validation updates: Re-runs relevant checks, applies minor fixes, and updates the validation report based on the user's comment. - Bot review finding handling: Evaluates [Bot Review Finding]-marked comments autonomously, fixing valid findings or explicitly no-oping when nothing is actionable. - Security finding rigor: Requires reachability, trigger, and mitigation analysis before dismissing security-relevant findings, and blocks completion on conformance-only reasoning. - Use Case: A reviewer comments "re-run the tests after that last fix" on a Fabrik-managed issue; the skill fetches the base branch, runs the checks synchronously, updates the validation report, commits, and pushes — without signaling stage completion. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to act as the Fabrik Validate comment reviewer and process the latest user feedback on the current issue's validation report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle user feedback comments during a validation stage?

Read the user's comment and the current stage output in .fabrik-context/stage-Validate.md, then act on the request: re-run relevant checks, apply a targeted fix, or update the report. Commit and push any changes, and only signal completion if the user explicitly states the issue is resolved.

How should bot review findings on a pull request be handled?

Evaluate [Bot Review Finding]-marked comments on their merits and fix valid findings autonomously, without waiting for a human decision. If nothing is actionable, change nothing and state that explicitly rather than inventing a fix.

When can the validation stage be marked complete after a comment?

Only when the user's comment explicitly states the issue is resolved and validation is complete, such as "looks good, ship it." Partial positive feedback is not sufficient, and open security-tagged findings require a risk rationale before closing.

Why shouldn't a dev server be backgrounded during re-verification?

Backgrounded processes detach via setsid and outlive the stage, becoming orphaned processes holding ports that the engine's teardown cannot kill. Run verification synchronously in the foreground with framework timeout flags, or bracket servers with trap-based teardown in a single command.

Can stage output be posted directly to GitHub with gh pr comment?

No. Direct comment creation bypasses the engine's formatting, produces duplicates, and triggers a self-review loop. Write output to stdout only; the engine posts it as a formatted comment. Resolving review threads via the GraphQL API is permitted.
