Who it is forA reviewer or maintainer who needs to know which commits in a repository were written by Anneal chains, and why a change was merged.
The problemChain-generated commits look like normal commits, so it is hard to tell which changes passed through planning, review and regression checks.
The outcomeA list of commits carrying the Anneal trailers, with run and step identifiers, that can be matched to recorded plan, review and regression artifacts.
What you need first
- An Apple Silicon Mac or a Linux machine (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS verified)
- Node.js satisfying ^20.19.0 || ^22.13.0 || >=24, with 22.17.0 from .nvmrc and npm 10.9.2 or later
- Docker Compose and Git
- The official Codex CLI, signed in under the account that runs the runner (Claude Code and Pi optional)
- A test repository to try it on before pointing it at real work
Steps
- Open the repository and confirm the Anneal trailers are present:
git log --grep="X-Anneal-Run"(inferred). (inferred, check the README) - Note the
X-Anneal-RunandX-Anneal-Stepvalues on each relevant commit. - Look up the matching run in the local Anneal board to read its plan, review findings, fix dispositions and regression results.
- Compare the merged pull request with the recorded artifacts to confirm which review findings were adopted.
Prompt for your agent
In the <repo-path> repository, list every commit with an X-Anneal-Run trailer and group them by run identifier. Return a table of run, step and commit hash, and verify that each run identifier appears in the Anneal board records.
Caveat. The README states the trailers and recorded artifacts exist, but it does not describe how to browse the artifacts, so the lookup step depends on the local board interface.
