Items from 2026-02-20-atomic-chaining-followup.md:

**Item 1 — SKILL.md:** Update capability count 69→70, remove check_run
domain, add Chain section covering ghx chain syntax, output shape,
chainable capabilities, and a close+comment example.

**Item 2 — Benchmark:** Add chaining scenario set with two new scenarios:
- issue-triage-atomic-wf-001 (labels + assignee + milestone in one chain)
- pr-review-submit-atomic-wf-001 (PR comment review via chain)
Add chaining set to scenario-sets.json; include both in default and all.

**Item 7 — Document registry tests:** Expand document-registry.test.ts
from 5 tests to exhaustive coverage of all 21 registered mutations and
all 9 registered lookups.

**Item 8 — pr.reviews.submit resolution validation:** Add two integration
tests for executeTasks exercising the Phase 1→Phase 2 resolution path:
- Verifies pullRequestId is correctly injected from repository.pullRequest.id
- Verifies partial status when lookup returns null pullRequest
Also add executeTasks no-resolution batch tests (Phase 2 only).

+# Implementation Plan: Atomic Chaining Follow-up
+
+> Derived from `docs/plans/2026-02-20-atomic-chaining-followup.md`.
+> Items 3 (GQL partial error handling) and 6 (resolution cache) are already done per PR #60.
+> Items 5a (`issue.labels.remove`) and 5b (`issue.milestone.clear`) are already done —
+> both have GraphQL handlers registered in `document-registry.ts` and integration tests.
+> Item 4 (cross-step data passing) is deferred — see §4 below.

+
+## Status
+
+| # | Item | Status |
+|---|------|--------|
+| 1 | SKILL.md update | **Remaining** |
+| 2 | Benchmark chaining scenarios | **Remaining** |
+| 3 | GQL partial error handling | ✅ Done (PR #60) |
+| 4 | Cross-step data passing | Deferred (design only) |
+| 5 | Expand chainable coverage | ✅ Done (PR #60) |
+| 6 | Resolution cache | ✅ Done (PR #60) |
+| 7 | Document registry test coverage | **Remaining** |
+| 8 | `pr.reviews.submit` resolution validation | **Remaining** |
+
+---
+
+## 1. SKILL.md Update
+
+**File:** `packages/core/skills/using-ghx/SKILL.md`
+
+### 1a. Fix stale metadata
+
+- Update frontmatter description: `"69 capabilities"` → `"70 capabilities"` (70 `.yaml` files
+  in `packages/core/src/core/registry/cards/`).
+- Remove `check_run` from the Domains line. New list:
+  `repo`, `issue`, `pr`, `release`, `workflow`, `project_v2`.
+
+### 1b. Add "Chain" section
+
+Insert after the "Execute" section. Cover:
+
+1. **When to prefer `ghx chain`** — use when ≥2 mutations must succeed together (labelling
+   + assigning + milestoning an issue; submitting a review). Avoids partial state from
+   sequential `ghx run` calls.
+2. **Syntax:**
+   ```bash
+   ghx chain --steps '[
+     {"task":"issue.close","input":{"issueId":"I_abc"}},
+     {"task":"issue.comments.create","input":{"owner":"o","name":"r","issueNumber":1,"body":"Closed."}}
+   ]'
+   ```
+3. **stdin variant:**
+   ```bash
+   ghx chain --steps - <<'EOF'
+   [{"task":"...","input":{...}}]
+   EOF
+   ```
+4. **Output shape:** `{ status, results[], meta }`. Check `status` first
+   (`"success"` | `"partial"` | `"failed"`). Each `results[i]` has `{ task, ok, data | error }`.
+5. **Chainable capabilities** — any capability whose card has a `graphql:` block. These
+   are all capabilities that take node IDs or perform lookups internally. Capabilities with
+   only a `cli:` route cannot be chained.
+6. **Example:** close an issue and leave a closing comment atomically (as above).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Benchmark Chaining Scenarios
+
+### 2a. New scenario files
+
+Create directory `packages/benchmark/scenarios/chaining/` and add two scenario JSON files.
+
+**`packages/benchmark/scenarios/chaining/issue-triage-atomic-wf-001.json`**
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "workflow",
+  "id": "issue-triage-atomic-wf-001",
+  "name": "Atomically triage issue: set labels, assignee, and milestone in one chain",
+  "prompt": "Issue #{{issueNumber}} in {{owner}}/{{name}} needs atomic triage. In a single ghx chain call, set the label 'bug', assign it to the first available assignee using issue.assignees.set, and set milestone number 1 using issue.milestone.set. Do not use separate ghx run calls.",
+  "expected_capabilities": ["issue.labels.set", "issue.assignees.set", "issue.milestone.set"],

+    },

+  },

+  "name": "Atomically submit a PR review with inline comment via chain",
+  "prompt": "PR #{{prNumber}} in {{owner}}/{{name}} needs a review. Use ghx chain with pr.reviews.submit to submit a COMMENT review with body 'Reviewed atomically via chain.' Do not use separate ghx run calls.",
+  "expected_capabilities": ["pr.reviews.submit"],
+  "timeout_ms": 180000,
+  "allowed_retries": 1,
+  "fixture": {
+    "repo": "aryeko/ghx-bench-fixtures",

+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "tags": ["workflow", "chaining", "pr", "atomic"]
+}
+```
+
+### 2b. Update `scenario-sets.json`
+
+Add a `chaining` set and add the two new scenario IDs to `default` and `all`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "default": [
+    "pr-fix-review-comments-wf-001",
+    "issue-triage-comment-wf-001",
+    "pr-review-comment-wf-001",
+    "ci-diagnose-run-wf-001",
+    "issue-triage-atomic-wf-001",
+    "pr-review-submit-atomic-wf-001"
+  ],
+  "workflows": [
+    "pr-fix-review-comments-wf-001",
+    "issue-triage-comment-wf-001",
+    "pr-review-comment-wf-001",
+    "ci-diagnose-run-wf-001"
+  ],
+  "chaining": [
+    "issue-triage-atomic-wf-001",
+    "pr-review-submit-atomic-wf-001"
+  ],
+  "all": [
+    "pr-fix-review-comments-wf-001",
+    "issue-triage-comment-wf-001",
+    "pr-review-comment-wf-001",
+    "ci-diagnose-run-wf-001",
+    "issue-triage-atomic-wf-001",
+    "pr-review-submit-atomic-wf-001"
+  ],
+  "full-seeded": [
+    "pr-fix-review-comments-wf-001",
+    "issue-triage-comment-wf-001",
+    "pr-review-comment-wf-001",
+    "ci-diagnose-run-wf-001"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 2c. Assertion format note
+
+The benchmark runner evaluates assertions by running verification tasks via `executeTask`
+(not by parsing `ChainResultEnvelope` directly). Checkpoints inspect final GitHub state,
+so no changes to the assertion runner are needed.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Cross-step data passing (Deferred)
+
+The design is described in the follow-up doc (Item 4). It requires template interpolation
+(`{{steps.0.data.id}}`) and a pre-processing pass in `executeTasks`. Given complexity and
+unclear demand, defer to a dedicated planning session when a concrete use case arises.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Document Registry Test Coverage
+
+### 7a. Expand `document-registry.test.ts`
+
+**File:** `packages/core/test/unit/document-registry.test.ts`
+
+Replace the current 5-test file with exhaustive coverage. Add one `it` per registered
+operation (rather than a data-driven loop) so individual failures name the broken operation.
+
+**Mutations to cover** (21 total, from `MUTATION_DOCUMENTS`):
+`IssueAssigneesAdd`, `IssueAssigneesRemove`, `IssueAssigneesUpdate`,
+`IssueBlockedByAdd`, `IssueBlockedByRemove`,
+`IssueClose`, `IssueCommentCreate`, `IssueCreate`, `IssueDelete`,
+`IssueLabelsAdd`, `IssueLabelsRemove`, `IssueLabelsUpdate`,
+`IssueMilestoneSet`, `IssueParentRemove`, `IssueParentSet`,
+`IssueReopen`, `IssueUpdate`,
+`PrCommentReply`, `PrCommentResolve`, `PrCommentUnresolve`,
+`PrReviewSubmit`
+
+**Lookups to cover** (9 total, from `LOOKUP_DOCUMENTS`):
+`IssueAssigneesLookup`, `IssueAssigneesLookupByNumber`,
+`IssueCreateRepositoryId`,
+`IssueLabelsLookup`, `IssueLabelsLookupByNumber`,
+`IssueMilestoneLookup`, `IssueNodeIdLookup`,
+`IssueParentLookup`, `PrNodeId`
+
+Pattern for each assertion:
+```ts
+it("getMutationDocument returns IssueClose", () => {
+  expect(getMutationDocument("IssueClose")).toContain("mutation IssueClose")
+})
+```
+
+Keep existing `throws on unknown` tests.
+
+### 7b. New `executeTasks` integration test — no-resolution mutation
+
+**File:** `packages/core/test/integration/engine-execute-tasks-no-resolution.integration.test.ts`
+
+Test `executeTasks` with `issue.close` (no `resolution` config — skips Phase 1, goes
+directly to Phase 2 batch mutation).
+
+Key mock: `githubClient.queryRaw` returns
+```ts
+{
+  data: {
+    step0: {
+      closeIssue: { issue: { id: "I_abc", number: 10, state: "CLOSED", closed: true } }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Assertions:
+- `status === "success"`
+- `results[0].ok === true`
+- `results[0].data` contains `{ state: "CLOSED", closed: true }`
+- `meta.succeeded === 1`, `meta.failed === 0`
+
+Also add a two-step no-resolution test (`issue.close` + `issue.reopen` is not useful,
+but `issue.close` + `issue.comments.create` with `issueId` can demonstrate batching):
+- Mock `queryRaw` returns `{ data: { step0: {...closeIssue...}, step1: {...createIssueComment...} } }`
+- Verify `status === "success"`, `results.length === 2`, both `ok === true`
+
+---
+
+## 8. `pr.reviews.submit` Resolution Validation
+
+**File:** `packages/core/test/integration/engine-execute-tasks-pr-review-submit.integration.test.ts`
+
+Test `executeTasks` with `pr.reviews.submit`, which has a Phase 1 resolution:
+- **Lookup:** `PrNodeId` query → extracts `repository.pullRequest.id`
+- **Inject:** `pullRequestId` ← scalar from `repository.pullRequest.id`
+- **Mutation:** `PrReviewSubmit`
+
+### Mocks required
+
+Phase 1 uses `githubClient.query(batchQueryDocument, variables)`:
+```ts
+async query<TData>(query: string): Promise<TData> {
+  if (query.includes("PrNodeId")) {
+    return {
+      step0: { repository: { pullRequest: { id: "PR_xyz789" } } }
+    } as TData
+  }
+  throw new Error("unexpected query")
+}
+```
+
+Phase 2 uses `githubClient.queryRaw<Record<string, unknown>>(document, variables)`:
+```ts
+async queryRaw<TData>(query: string): Promise<{ data?: TData; errors?: ... }> {
+  if (query.includes("PrReviewSubmit")) {
+    return {
+      data: {
+        step0: {
+          addPullRequestReview: {
+            pullRequestReview: {
+              id: "review-id-1",
+              state: "COMMENTED",
+              url: "https://github.com/.../pull/5#pullrequestreview-1",
+              body: "Reviewed atomically.",
+            }
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    } as { data: TData }
+  }
+  throw new Error("unexpected queryRaw")
+}
+```
+
+### Assertions
+
+- `status === "success"`
+- `results[0].ok === true`
+- `results[0].data` contains `{ state: "COMMENTED" }` — confirming the Phase 2 mutation
+  result was correctly mapped
+- Verify `query` was called once (Phase 1 lookup) and `queryRaw` was called once (Phase 2)
+  — use `vi.fn()` spies on the client methods
+
+---
+
+## Execution Order
+
+1. **Item 7a** — expand `document-registry.test.ts` (purely additive, no risk)
+2. **Item 1** — update `SKILL.md` (documentation only)
+3. **Item 7b** — add `executeTasks` no-resolution integration test
+4. **Item 8** — add `executeTasks` pr.reviews.submit integration test
+5. **Item 2** — add benchmark scenarios and update `scenario-sets.json`
+6. Run `pnpm run ci --outputStyle=static` to verify all pass
+
+---
+
+## Pre-PR Checklist
+
+- [ ] `pnpm run ci --outputStyle=static` passes
+- [ ] No GraphQL operation files changed (no codegen needed)
+- [ ] Coverage for touched files ≥90%
+- [ ] No public API changes (no changeset needed)

- Move inline mock assertions to post-call in no-resolution integration test
- Remove redundant capturedQueryRawVars array; use vi.fn mock.calls instead
- Prefix all document-registry test names with "returns document for "
- Rename checkpoint issue_state_updated → issue_view_non_empty (accuracy)
- Add chaining scenarios to full-seeded scenario set
- Update impl-plan status table: items 1,2,7,8 → Done (this PR)
- Add chain limitation note to SKILL.md (no cross-step data passing)

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] fix(benchmark): update scenario-sets-manifest tests for
 chaining set
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tests assumed default/workflows/all were always equal. Now that chaining
scenarios are included in default and all, update assertions to match the
differentiated set structure (workflows ⊂ default = all = full-seeded).

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] fix(skill): correct round-trip claim for
 resolution-backed chain capabilities
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

"One GraphQL round-trip" is only true for no-resolution capabilities.
Capabilities like pr.reviews.submit require a Phase 1 node-ID lookup
plus Phase 2 mutation — two round-trips. Clarify to "as few as possible
(typically one; node-ID lookups add a preflight query)".

 Chain section
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

"Must succeed together" and "atomically" imply ACID rollback that ghx chain
doesn't provide — a partial result is possible. Replace with accurate batching
language and add an explicit note that steps are not transactional.
