Who it is forA Python maintainer reviewing an AI-written bug fix who wants evidence that the test would have caught the bug.
The problemA fix can look right while the test offered as proof passes on the old code too, so the bug was never actually reproduced.
The outcomeA bug-fix pull request is refused when its evidence test passes on the merge base, and accepted only when the reproduction gate shows the expected pass and fail.
What you need first
- Python 3.12+
- uv
- git
- Node with npm, for the board build from source
- An Anthropic credential: an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or a Claude subscription OAuth token from claude setup-token
- A git repository you want changed, and a GitHub or GitLab issue URL or a configured tracker
Steps
- Run
uv tool install no-humanand thennh init && nh doctor. - Run
nh startto open the board and worker. - Run
nh task add <issue-url> --repo <local-repo-path>for the Python bug report. (inferred, check the README) - Run
nh reviewand check the reproduction gate result in the event log. - Run
nh reject --reason "..."if the evidence test passed on the old code. (inferred, check the README)
Prompt for your agent
In the no_human repo, add the Python bug issue <issue-url> for the repo at <local-repo-path> and run nh review. Report whether the reproduction gate passed, and state which test was offered as evidence.
Caveat. Out of the box the reproduction gate binds only Python bug fixes, and setting repro_gate.mode to required is needed to apply it to every kind of change.
