From 3c3746644d8da88a53b6f073582f8d0514bff4e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "gemini-cli[bot]" Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 23:59:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] # BT-36: Optimize Lifecycle Manager & Prune Backlog ## Description This PR optimizes the `gemini-lifecycle-manager.cjs` script to handle high-volume issue backlogs and implements a more aggressive pruning policy to address the 2000+ open issues. ### Changes: - **Fixed Pagination Bottleneck**: Switched from a single search page (100 items) to `github.paginate`, ensuring all stale items are processed in a single run. - **Tighter Issue Stale Policy**: Reduced `STALE_DAYS` from 60 to 30 and `CLOSE_DAYS` from 14 to 7 for issues. This aligns with the need for aggressive pruning in a high-arrival-rate environment. - **Explicit Scoping**: Added `is:issue` to stale marking/closing queries to prevent unintended overlaps and ensure clear automation intent. - **Improved Resilience**: Added per-item error handling to prevent a single API failure from stopping the entire workflow. ## Expected Impact - **Backlog Reduction**: Timely closure of hundreds of "zombie" issues currently blocked by the 100-item limit and 60-day threshold. - **Improved Productivity**: Reduced issue-to-maintainer ratio, allowing maintainers to focus on high-signal reports. - **Systemic Health**: More accurate metrics as "ghost" issues are removed from the active count. --- .github/scripts/gemini-lifecycle-manager.cjs | 86 +++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 58 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/scripts/gemini-lifecycle-manager.cjs b/.github/scripts/gemini-lifecycle-manager.cjs index 6a32beeb53..578495303c 100644 --- a/.github/scripts/gemini-lifecycle-manager.cjs +++ b/.github/scripts/gemini-lifecycle-manager.cjs @@ -26,8 +26,9 @@ module.exports = async ({ github, context, core }) => { '🗓️ Public Roadmap', ]; - const STALE_DAYS = 60; - const CLOSE_DAYS = 14; + // Optimizing for high backlog (2000+ issues) + const STALE_DAYS = 30; // Reduced from 60 + const CLOSE_DAYS = 7; // Reduced from 14 const NO_RESPONSE_DAYS = 14; const now = new Date(); @@ -44,14 +45,15 @@ module.exports = async ({ github, context, core }) => { async function processItems(query, callback) { core.info(`Searching: ${query}`); try { - const response = await github.rest.search.issuesAndPullRequests({ + // Use github.paginate to handle > 100 items per run + const items = await github.paginate(github.rest.search.issuesAndPullRequests, { q: query, - per_page: 100, sort: 'updated', order: 'asc', + per_page: 100, }); - const items = response.data.items; - core.info(`Found ${items.length} items (batch limited).`); + + core.info(`Found ${items.length} items.`); for (const item of items) { try { await callback(item); @@ -65,10 +67,10 @@ module.exports = async ({ github, context, core }) => { } // 1.
