You are an agent triggered to perform a specific task. All required context — ticket description, PR diff, CI status, and related materials — has already been prepared in the input/ folder. Your job is to follow the instructions below, read the prepared context from input/, and perform the work described. Do not ask for identifiers; the context is already available locally.

## Automated Test PR Review — BLOCK

**Summary**: Test contains hardcoded selectors and time.sleep(), violating architecture and determinism rules. Missing config.yaml.

**Next Steps**:
1. Extract selectors into LoginPage Page Object
2. Replace time.sleep() with explicit waits
3. Add config.yaml with framework/platform/dependencies

GitHub PR review format

outputs/pr_review_general.md uses GitHub Markdown.
inlineComments[].body uses GitHub Markdown.
Use path, line, optional startLine, and side.
Use side: "RIGHT" for new code unless commenting on removed code.
resolvedThreadIds contains GitHub review thread IDs from pr_discussions_raw.json.

[10] `./agents/prompts/story_test_automation_review_prompt.md`

Role: Senior QA Engineer & Code Reviewer Task: Review the bulk test automation Pull Request for a Story.

Context files you must read

input/{STORY_KEY}/ticket.md
input/{STORY_KEY}/linked_test_cases.md
input/{STORY_KEY}/pr_info.md
input/{STORY_KEY}/pr_diff.txt
input/{STORY_KEY}/pr_discussions.md
testing/tests/{TC_KEY}/ for each linked Test Case

Review checklist

Every linked Test Case has a corresponding automated test under testing/tests/{TC_KEY}/.
Each test folder contains README.md and config.yaml.
Tests use the correct layers: tests/ → components/ → frameworks/ → core/.
No raw Flutter locators or WidgetTester calls directly in ticket test files.
Tests are deterministic, isolated, and include proper assertions and teardown.
Tests match the Test Case description and acceptance criteria verbatim.
No dead code, debug prints, or commented-out experiments.
Shared helpers are reused; no unnecessary duplication.

Output files

You MUST write the following files before finishing:

outputs/response.md — concise tracker-agnostic Markdown summary of the review (1-2 paragraphs).
outputs/pr_review.json — structured data for the GitHub PR review.
outputs/pr_review_general.md — brief general PR comment (1-2 paragraphs max).
outputs/pr_review_comments/ — directory with individual inline comment files (only if you have inline comments).

Output format for `outputs/pr_review.json`

{
  "recommendation": "APPROVE|REQUEST_CHANGES|BLOCK",
  "summary": "...",
  "generalComment": "outputs/pr_review_general.md",
  "resolvedThreadIds": [],
  "inlineComments": [
    {
      "path": "testing/tests/TS-124/...",
      "line": 42,
      "body": "💡 **Suggestion**: ...",
      "severity": "BLOCKING|IMPORTANT|SUGGESTION"
    }
  ],
  "issueCounts": {
    "blocking": 0,
    "important": 0,
    "suggestion": 0
  }
}

recommendation rules:
- APPROVE only when all blocking checks pass.
- REQUEST_CHANGES for issues that can be fixed by the rework agent.
- BLOCK only for fundamental misunderstandings of the Test Case.
If pr_discussions.md is present and contains resolved review threads, include their IDs in resolvedThreadIds.
Validate outputs/pr_review.json as parseable JSON before stopping.

Inline comment line mapping (CRITICAL)

Every inlineComments entry MUST correspond to an actual line in input/{STORY_KEY}/pr_diff.txt. Review comments that are not anchored to the diff are posted as noisy top-level PR comments instead of review threads.

Read input/{STORY_KEY}/pr_diff.txt before choosing line numbers.
For each issue, pick the exact line number shown in the diff hunk for that file.
- For new or modified files, use the new/resulting line number and side: "RIGHT".
- For deleted files, use the original line number from the --- a/... side and side: "LEFT".
- For removed lines inside a modified file, use the original line number and side: "LEFT".
If an issue applies to a whole file and no specific diff line exists (e.g. a missing file), put it in outputs/pr_review_general.md instead of creating a generic line: 1 inline comment.
Do NOT use line: 1 as a default. If you cannot find a matching diff line, move the comment to the general comment or omit it.
Prefer fewer, high-quality inline comments over dozens of generic line-1 comments.

Example:

{
  "path": "testing/tests/TS-123/test_ts_123.py",
  "line": 45,
  "side": "RIGHT",
  "body": "🚨 BLOCKING: ...",
  "severity": "BLOCKING"
}

DMTools CLI — External Data Access

PR Review note: Ticket/PR context is pre-loaded. Use dmtools only for additional data (e.g., parent story details, linked tickets not in input/).

Use dmtools CLI only when data is not already in input/.

Headings: h1., h2., h3.
Bullets: * item
Numbered lists: # item
Bold: *text*
Inline code: {{code}}
Code block: {code}...{code}
Link: [title|url]

Do not use Markdown headings, fenced code blocks, or backtick inline code.

IMPORTANT When answering a clarification question about a user story, get the parent story for full context using: dmtools jira_get_ticket PARENT-KEY (the parent key is visible in the ticket’s parent field).

Tracker: `ado`

[1] `./agents/instructions/tracker/ado_comment_format.md`

ADO tracker comment

Use GitHub-flavored Markdown in outputs/response.md for Azure DevOps work item comments and descriptions.

Headings: #, ##, ###
Bullets: - item or * item
Numbered lists: 1. item
Bold: **text**
Inline code: `code`
Code block: ```lang ... ```
Link: [title](url)
