feat: add automatic priority escalation based on comment count - #101
feat: add automatic priority escalation based on comment count#101janisz wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
Add --enable-auto-priority flag to automatically escalate JIRA issue priority based on the number of comments. As issues accumulate more comments (indicating recurring failures), priority increases through configurable thresholds. Priority escalation ladder (default thresholds): - 0-3 comments: Undefined - 4-15 comments: Minor - 16-63 comments: Normal - 64-127 comments: Major - 128-255 comments: Blocker - 256+ comments: Critical New flags: - --enable-auto-priority: Enable feature (default: false) - --priority-thresholds: Custom thresholds (default: "4,16,64,128,256") Implementation: - Added calculatePriority() function with exponential thresholds - Added updatePriorityIfNeeded() to update priority after comments - Fixed JQL query for JIRA Cloud compatibility (project in -> project =) - Set notify=true to avoid admin permission requirements Testing: - 25 unit tests covering priority calculation and threshold parsing - Tested on real JIRA issue ROX-36592 with successful escalation - All existing tests passing Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

WalkthroughThe CLI now supports automatic Jira priority escalation from total and recent comment counts. Users can configure five thresholds. Existing issue processing can update Jira priority after adding comments. ChangesAutomatic Jira priority escalation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds automatic JIRA priority escalation based on comment count, but the documented priority table omits implemented recent-activity overrides, which could cause users to misread resulting priorities.

I think this will be very useful: I won't need to look to see if there are 3+/10+/etc comments for the problem to decide myself if it is a higher priority!

I think this should be based on the comment rate, not total count. Otherwise an old 1 failure per week flake will be incorrectly considered higher priority than a week old 3/day one.
That make sense but it's harder to implement and I don't know how to set the threshold :( |
Refactored priority handling to use typed Priority enum with natural ordering. Fixed two issues in auto-escalation logic: - Use Comment.Total instead of len(Comments) for accurate count across pages - Only escalate when target priority ranks higher (prevents downgrading) Added comprehensive tests for Priority enum ordering and parsing.

All time stats only New issues |
Implements layered priority escalation approach: - New base thresholds: [2, 10, 50, 100, 200] (down from [4, 16, 64, 128, 256]) - Time-based escalation for hot issues: - ≥10 comments in last 10 days → Critical - ≥5 comments in last 10 days → Major - ≥50 comments in last 30 days → Critical - ≥20 comments in last 30 days → Blocker - ≥10 comments in last 30 days → Major - ≥5 comments in last 30 days → Normal - Layered logic: max(base priority from total, escalated priority from recent activity) This reduces Undefined issues from 60% to 25% and increases Critical from 2% to 12%, catching actively discussed problems that would be missed by total count alone. Tested e2e on ROX-35986 (→Critical), ROX-29712 (→Blocker), ROX-35789 (→Minor). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I added layered approach, total, last 30 and 10 days.

Can we please derive one from the other so there is no room for skew?
Please also add a comment describing the unit (comment count I guess?).

I think this should cause an error instead 🤔
In general, it feels like this is a wrong place for correctness validation.

It feels like critical should be reserved for at most top 1%.

But that will vary between the runs. Currently it's 11% but in next 10 days it could be 0. I think there is no easy way to autotune it to keep 1% for critical so I think thresholds are ok.

Alright, but then perhaps we should not advertise the percentiles as the source of the count numbers....

This comment seems to be a lie. We're not actually counting, we're looking at some precomputed count. Is this needed? I'm worried about TOCTOI issues since more comments can be added between now and when we fetch all comments.
