Bug Development

Implements a bug fix end to end: checks out the repository, analyzes the root cause, writes the fix with tests, and opens a pull request.

Parameters

Configured via customParams in the agent JSON or the project .dmtools/config.js (project values win).

  • branchCreateFnPath — path to a JS hook that creates the feature branch (two-branch flow customization).
  • checkOpenPR — when true, skip tickets that already have an open pull request for this work.
  • removeLabel — label removed from the ticket after a successful run (idempotency cleanup).
  • targetRepository — repository override block (owner, repo, baseBranch, workingDir) — run the work against this repository instead of the project default.
