GitHub Models (`models: read`) is the clean fallback if direct Copilot CLI automation proves brittle.

+### 2026-05-18T10:25:12.565+02:00 — CI Analysis Interface & Fallback Architecture (Issue #2)
47
+
48
+- **Architecture decision published:** `.squad/decisions/inbox/leela-ci-architecture-decision.md`
49
+- **Primary path:** Standalone `copilot` CLI with fine-grained PAT (`COPILOT_GH_TOKEN` secret → `COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` env var). Programmatic mode with `--no-ask-user`, explicit `--allow-tool` flags.
50
+- **Fallback path:** GitHub Models API (`models.github.ai`) with built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` and `permissions: models: read`. Triggered on CLI auth failure, quota exhaustion, or repeated errors.
51
+- **Pipeline contracts formalized:**
52
+ - Crawl → Analyze: `data/raw/YYYY-WNN.json` (repo objects array)
53
+ - Analyze → Generate: `data/analyzed/YYYY-WNN-summary.md` (Markdown + YAML frontmatter with `quality_score`)
54
+ - Generate → Deploy: `public/` (Hugo build output)
55
+- **Reviewer gate:** quality_score ≥ 60, three required sections (Signal/Noise/Gaps), word count ≥ 200. Blocks publish on failure.
56
+- **Token strategy:** Fine-grained PAT with Account → Copilot Requests permission. Classic PATs not supported. Future spike: `GITHUB_TOKEN` + `copilot-requests: write`.
57
+- **MCP strategy:** Allowlist-gated remote calls, tool definitions in `.github/copilot/mcp.json`, crawl-stage only for external HTTP.
58
+- **Nap & reskill interface:** Every 5th run, Copilot CLI reads squad state and writes improvement recommendations to `.squad/reskill/YYYY-WNN.md`.
59
+- **Resolves:** OQ1 and OQ3 from PRD. Unblocks Phase 2 analyzer work.

+- **Status:** Phase 0 is complete. Architecture decision merged into `.squad/decisions.md`.
64
+- **Secret configured:** `COPILOT_GH_TOKEN` repo secret established (coordinator action).
65
+- **Issues closed:** #1 (completed by Bender) and #2 (Leela architecture).
66
+- **Team notification:** All agents notified that Phase 0 is complete and architecture is published.
67
+- **Next phase:** Phase 1 (crawlers and generators) can proceed independently. Phase 2 (analyzer) is unblocked.

+## Architecture Decision: CI Analysis Interface & Fallback Architecture
87
+
88
+**Date:** 2026-05-18T10:25:12.565+02:00
89
+**Author:** Leela (Lead/Architect)
90
+**Status:** Approved
91
+**Issue:** #2 — Decide CI analysis interface and fallback architecture
92
+**Depends on:** #1 (Copilot CLI investigation — completed by Bender)
93
+
94
+### Context
95
+
96
+SquadScope's pipeline requires AI-powered analysis of crawled GitHub data inside GitHub Actions. Bender's investigation (docs/investigation-copilot-cli.md) confirmed that the standalone `copilot` CLI can run in CI with a fine-grained PAT, and identified GitHub Models API as a credible fallback. This decision formalizes the approved architecture.
97
+
98
+### Decision 1: Primary Analysis Path — Standalone Copilot CLI
99
+
100
+**Approved.** The primary CI analysis engine is the standalone `copilot` CLI (`@github/copilot`).
101
+
102
+**Rationale:**
103
+- Officially documented by GitHub for Actions automation
104
+- Real-world precedent (microsoft/BCApps)
105
+- Repo-aware agent behavior: can read/write files, use tools (grep, glob, read, write)
106
+- Supports structured output (`--output-format=json`) and transcript export (`--share=PATH`)
107
+- Programmatic mode (`-p`, `--no-ask-user`) is CI-safe
108
+
109
+**Invocation Contract:**
110
+
111
+```bash
112
+copilot -p "<prompt>" \
113
+ -s \
114
+ --no-ask-user \
115
+ --allow-tool=read \
116
+ --allow-tool=write \
117
+ --allow-tool=glob \
118
+ --allow-tool=grep \
119
+ --output-format=json \
120
+ --share=./copilot-session.md
121
+```
122
+
123
+**Token Strategy:**
124
+
125
+| Item | Value |
126
+|------|-------|
127
+| Secret name | `COPILOT_GH_TOKEN` |
128
+| Token type | Fine-grained PAT (`github_pat_...`) |
129
+| Permission | Account → Copilot Requests |
130
+| Env variable | `COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` |
131
+| Resource owner | Personal account (jmservera) |
132
+| Classic PAT | **Not supported** — do not use `ghp_` tokens |
133
+
134
+Wire in workflow:
135
+```yaml
136
+env:
137
+ COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.COPILOT_GH_TOKEN }}
138
+```
139
+
140
+### Decision 2: Fallback Path — GitHub Models API
141
+
142
+**Approved.** If Copilot CLI is unavailable, rate-limited, or proves too brittle in CI, the fallback is the GitHub Models API.
143
+
144
+**Rationale:**
145
+- Works with built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN` (no PAT needed)
146
+- Simple REST interface, easy to test and mock
147
+- Supports structured JSON responses
148
+- Less agentic, but sufficient for summarization tasks
149
+
150
+**Invocation Contract:**
151
+
152
+```yaml
153
+permissions:
154
+ models: read
155
+
156
+steps:
157
+ - name: Analyze via GitHub Models
158
+ env:
159
+ GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
160
+ run: |
161
+ curl "https://models.github.ai/inference/chat/completions" \
162
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
163
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
164
+ -d @data/prompts/analyze-week.json
165
+```
166
+
167
+**Trigger conditions for fallback:**
168
+- Copilot CLI auth failure (token expired, permission revoked)
169
+- Copilot CLI rate-limit / quota exhaustion
170
+- Copilot CLI install failure (npm registry issue, Node version mismatch)
171
+- Repeated non-deterministic failures (3+ retries fail)
172
+
173
+### Decision 3: Pipeline Stage Contracts
174
+
175
+**Stage boundaries and data flow:**
176
+
177
+```
178
+┌─────────┐ JSON ┌──────────┐ Markdown ┌──────────┐ HTML ┌────────┐
179
+│ Crawl │ ──────────► │ Analyze │ ───────────► │ Generate │ ────────► │ Deploy │
180
+└─────────┘ data/raw/ └──────────┘ data/analyzed └──────────┘ public/ └────────┘
181
+```
182
+
183
+**Crawl → Analyze:**
184
+
185
+| Property | Specification |
186
+|----------|---------------|
187
+| Location | `data/raw/` |
188
+| Format | JSON (one file per crawl run) |
189
+| Naming | `YYYY-WNN.json` (e.g., `2026-W21.json`) |
190
+| Schema | Array of repo objects: `{name, url, description, stars, stars_gained, language, topics, created_at}` |
191
+| Contract | Analyzer MUST NOT modify files in `data/raw/` |
192
+
193
+**Analyze → Generate:**
194
+
195
+| Property | Specification |
196
+|----------|---------------|
197
+| Location | `data/analyzed/` |
198
+| Format | Markdown with YAML frontmatter |
199
+| Naming | `YYYY-WNN-summary.md` |
200
+| Frontmatter | `title`, `date`, `week`, `year`, `categories`, `quality_score` |
201
+| Sections | Signal (important), Noise (overhyped), Gaps (missing from conversation) |
202
+| Contract | Must include `quality_score` (0-100) for reviewer gate |
203
+
204
+**Generate → Deploy:**
205
+
206
+| Property | Specification |
207
+|----------|---------------|
208
+| Location | `public/` (Hugo build output) |
209
+| Format | Static HTML/CSS/JS |
210
+| Contract | Hugo builds from `content/` which is populated from `data/analyzed/` |
211
+
212
+### Decision 4: Reviewer Gate
213
+
214
+Analysis output in `data/analyzed/` MUST pass a quality check before the Generate stage runs.
215
+
216
+**Gate criteria:**
217
+- `quality_score` in frontmatter is ≥ 60
218
+- All three required sections present (Signal, Noise, Gaps)
219
+- Word count ≥ 200 (guards against empty/stub output)
220
+- No raw JSON or error messages in body
221
+
222
+**On failure:**
223
+- Block publish
224
+- Log failure reason to workflow summary
225
+- Open an issue tagged `quality-gate-failure` for human review
226
+- Do NOT retry analysis automatically (preserves Copilot request budget)
227
+
228
+### Decision 5: MCP Tools Strategy
229
+
230
+**Directive:** MCP tools are authorized for multi-site crawling extensibility.
231
+
232
+**Constraints:**
233
+- Remote MCP calls MUST be allowlisted in GitHub Copilot agent settings (repo-level)
234
+- MCP tool definitions live in `.github/copilot/mcp.json`
235
+- Only crawl-stage tools may make external HTTP calls
236
+- Analysis-stage tools are local-only (read, write, glob, grep)
237
+
238
+**Future extensibility:**
239
+- Each new data source (HN, Reddit, etc.) is an MCP tool with a `crawl()` method
240
+- Tools registered in allowlist before activation
241
+- Rate limits per-source defined in tool config
242
+
243
+### Decision 6: Nap & Reskill Interface
244
+
245
+Every 5th pipeline run triggers a reskill cycle. The reskill workflow invokes Copilot CLI to review squad state and propose improvements.
246
+
247
+**Mechanism:**
248
+
249
+```bash
250
+# Counter check
251
+COUNTER=$(cat .squad/run-counter.txt)
252
+if [ $((COUNTER % 5)) -eq 0 ]; then
253
+ # Reskill invocation
254
+ copilot -p "Read .squad/agents/*/history.md and .squad/decisions.md. \
255
+ Assess: What patterns are working? What should change? \
256
+ Write recommendations to .squad/reskill/YYYY-WNN.md" \
257
+ --no-ask-user \
258
+ --allow-tool=read \
259
+ --allow-tool=write \
260
+ --allow-tool=glob \
261
+ --share=./reskill-session.md
262
+fi
263
+```
264
+
265
+**Input context for reskill:**
266
+- `.squad/agents/*/history.md` — all agent learnings
267
+- `.squad/decisions.md` — current decision log
268
+- `data/analyzed/` — recent analysis outputs (quality trend)
269
+- `.squad/run-counter.txt` — run history
270
+
271
+**Output:**
272
+- `.squad/reskill/YYYY-WNN.md` — improvement recommendations
273
+- Optional: PR with proposed changes to agent prompts or pipeline config
274
+
275
+### Decision 7: Future Validation Spike — GITHUB_TOKEN + copilot-requests: write
276
+
277
+**Status:** Noted for future spike (not yet approved for production use).
278
+
279
+The community action `austenstone/copilot-cli` demonstrates that `GITHUB_TOKEN` with `permissions: copilot-requests: write` may eliminate the PAT requirement entirely. GitHub's official docs do not yet confirm this path.
280
+
281
+**Spike criteria:**
282
+- Create a test workflow with `copilot-requests: write`
283
+- Validate auth succeeds without PAT
284
+- Confirm quota/billing behaves identically
285
+- If successful: migrate from PAT to workflow token (simpler, no secret rotation)
286
+
287
+### Risks & Mitigations
288
+
289
+| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
290
+|------|------------|--------|------------|
291
+| Copilot CLI quota exhaustion | Medium | High | Coarse-grained prompts; fallback to Models API |
292
+| PAT expiration in CI | Medium | Medium | GitHub secret expiry alerts; spike on workflow token |
293
+| Analysis quality drift | Low | High | Reviewer gate + reskill cycle |
294
+| MCP allowlist misconfiguration | Low | Medium | CI test that validates mcp.json against live config |
295
+| Node 22 unavailability in runner | Very Low | Low | Pin `actions/setup-node@v4` with explicit version |
296
+
297
+### Summary
298
+
299
+The SquadScope CI analysis pipeline uses a two-tier approach: Copilot CLI (primary, agentic, repo-aware) with GitHub Models API (fallback, simpler, REST-based). Data flows through well-defined stage boundaries with JSON → Markdown → HTML transformations. A quality gate ensures no low-quality analysis reaches publication. The architecture is designed for extensibility via MCP tools and self-improvement via the reskill cycle.
