Why

pr-body reads like pr-title, but they check different things. pr-title holds the title to every message rule. pr-body checks the description against the AI attribution rules only. A reader of a workflow would expect pr-body to check the description's format, and the name would be taken if a format check for the description is ever wanted.

The input was added in #323 and has not been released, so it can still be renamed without an alias.

What changes

  • The input pr-body is now pr-body-ai-attribution: the first half names the subject, the second what is checked. It is the same term as ai_attribution in cchk.toml and the CLI's --ai-attribution-only.
  • The environment variable passed to main.py follows it (PR_BODY_AI_ATTRIBUTION).
  • README input table and the edited tip use the new name.

Before and after

# Before
with:
  pr-title: true
  pr-body: true
  ai-label: true

# After
with:
  pr-title: true                 # the title, every message rule
  pr-body-ai-attribution: true   # the description, AI attribution only
  ai-label: true

Checks

  • pytest: 275 passed, coverage 100% (lines and branches); ruff check, ruff format, mypy clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • Renamed the pull request description setting to clarify that it controls AI attribution. Its behavior and default remain unchanged.
    • Updated the setup documentation to use the new setting name.

pr-body read like pr-title, which checks the title against every
message rule, while this input checks the description against the AI
attribution rules only. pr-body-ai-attribution names both the subject
and what is checked, the same words as ai_attribution in cchk.toml and
the CLI's --ai-attribution-only. The input has not been released yet.

Walkthrough

The action input and environment settings for PR-body attribution have new names. The PR-description check still runs when an AI label is configured, while attribution scope is added only when the new setting is enabled.

Changes: PR body attribution setting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rename the action input
README.md, action.yml
The documented input is now pr-body-ai-attribution. The action passes its value as PR_BODY_AI_ATTRIBUTION.
Update attribution setting and check
main.py, main_test.py
The code and tests use the renamed environment setting. The PR description is checked when attribution is enabled or an AI label is configured; detected tools are retained for labeling, and attribution scope is added only when enabled.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: Low · up to e35dc

The rename is internally consistent, but workflows upgrading from a pre-release revision must update their input or PR-description enforcement becomes disabled. Preserve an alias or explicitly account for this bounded compatibility risk before merging.

Explanation

The title "feat: name the PR description input pr-body-ai-attribution" matches the main change. The PR renames the pr-body input to pr-body-ai-attribution in action.yml, README.md, main.py, and main_test.py. The title is concise, specific, and names the new input. It does not cover the related behavior changes, such as the AI-attribution-only scope, but it does not need to.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Test the environment variable through to the PR-description scope.

The scope test patches the parsed flag, so it can pass if initialization reads the wrong environment name. Add a test that sets PR_BODY_AI_ATTRIBUTION before module initialization and asserts that the PR-description scope is reported.

pr-body-ai-attribution so workflows using the old input still enable attribution
checks; ensure the legacy value is honored when the new input is not explicitly
set.
