Implements U1 + U2 + U3 for #85478 (canonical).

Narrow ripgrep-only classifier:

  • Direct rg exit 1 with clean empty output → benign_no_result
  • xargs-wrapped rg exit 123 with clean empty output → benign_no_result
  • All other cases: success or failure

U1: src/agents/bash-tools.exec-outcome-classification.ts — pure classifier, no side effects
U2: Wired through pi-embedded-subscribe.handlers.tools.ts → agent events → reply pipeline
U3: Slack progress renders benign_no_result as No matches found instead of exit code

Tests: 8 classification tests + 40 Slack dispatch tests + 22 channel-streaming tests + 113 agent-runner-execution tests

Closes #85478 (supersedes our closed duplicate PR)

…ss rendering

Implements U1 + U2 + U3 for #85478 requirements.

U1: Pure exec outcome classifier (bash-tools.exec-outcome-classification.ts)
  - classifyExecOutcome(): narrow detection of rg exit 1 and xargs-rg exit 123
  - execOutcomeStatusLabel(): human-readable labels per classification
  - Only two narrow patterns are benign: direct rg no-match (exit 1) and
    xargs-wrapped rg no-match (exit 123), both requiring clean empty output

U2: Command-output event wiring
  - pi-embedded-subscribe.handlers.tools.ts: compute classification on exec end
  - infra/agent-events.ts: add outcomeClassification + statusLabel fields
  - auto-reply/get-reply-options.types.ts: new fields in onCommandOutput callback
  - agent-runner-execution.ts: pass classification through reply pipeline

U3: Slack progress rendering
  - channel-streaming.ts: render benign_no_result as statusLabel or 'No matches found'
  - dispatch.ts: pass outcomeClassification + statusLabel to progress renderer

Test coverage:
  - bash-tools.exec-outcome-classification.test.ts: 8 cases
  - pi-embedded-subscribe.handlers.tools.test.ts: new benign rg classification test
  - dispatch.preview-fallback.test.ts: 40 tests including benign Slack rendering
  - channel-streaming.test.ts: 22 tests
  - agent-runner-execution.test.ts: 113 tests

Thanks for the context here. I swept through the related work, and this is now duplicate or superseded.

This PR should close because it duplicates the same Slack benign no-result work already tracked in #85478, and this branch is the riskier version of that approach.

Canonical path: Close this duplicate branch and continue review or repair on #85478, keeping the classifier narrow to ripgrep no-match semantics.

So I’m closing this here and keeping the remaining discussion on #85478.

Review details

Best possible solution:

Close this duplicate branch and continue review or repair on #85478, keeping the classifier narrow to ripgrep no-match semantics.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Yes for the patch defect: source inspection shows classifyExecOutcome returns benign_no_result for any clean exit code 1 before checking that the command is ripgrep. The intended current-main problem is also source-visible because current progress rendering formats nonzero command output as an exit-code status.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

No, this branch is not the best path because the canonical open PR tracks the same Slack behavior with supplied proof and a narrower ripgrep-specific classifier. The maintainable path is to review or repair the canonical PR rather than keep two competing branches open.

Security review:

Security review cleared: No concrete security or supply-chain regression was found; the issue is functional misclassification of command progress, not new command execution, dependency, CI, or secret handling.

What I checked:

  • PR body identifies the canonical work: The provided GitHub context shows this PR says it implements U1, U2, and U3 for fix(slack): soften benign search no-result progress #85478 and uses closing syntax against that canonical PR, so the branch is intentionally overlapping with an existing open PR. (131963269600)
  • Same central file set as the canonical PR: The current branch commit adds the same classifier, agent-event, auto-reply, channel-streaming, Slack dispatch, and docs surfaces that the related canonical PR also touches. (131963269600)
  • Current main still renders nonzero command output as an exit code: Current main has no outcome classification field in channel progress input and formats nonzero command-output events as exit ${input.exitCode}, confirming both PRs target the same remaining Slack progress behavior. (src/plugin-sdk/channel-streaming.ts:477, 7bc4a333aa09)
  • This branch is less conservative than the canonical branch: This PR classifies any clean exit code 1 as benign_no_result before checking that the command is rg, while the canonical branch requires an rg token for direct exit-1 no-match classification. (src/agents/bash-tools.exec-outcome-classification.ts:49, 131963269600)
  • Canonical PR has supplied real behavior proof: The provided related-item context for fix(slack): soften benign search no-result progress #85478 includes proof: supplied and proof: sufficient labels plus terminal output showing a real clean rg no-match classified as benign_no_result and rendered as No matches found. (218020d701d0)

Likely related people:

  • Peter Steinberger: Current shallow history shows structured execution item events and recent touches across the agent event pipeline that this PR modifies. (role: recent area contributor; confidence: medium; commits: 996dccb19ca1, 9f1472ed8fa8; files: src/agents/pi-embedded-subscribe.handlers.tools.ts, src/auto-reply/reply/agent-runner-execution.ts, src/infra/agent-events.ts)
  • Vincent Koc: Recent history includes channel streaming configuration and Slack dispatch changes on the same channel progress surfaces. (role: adjacent channel-streaming contributor; confidence: medium; commits: 0fdf9e874b7e, e28b516fb5b3; files: src/plugin-sdk/channel-streaming.ts, extensions/slack/src/monitor/message-handler/dispatch.ts)
  • Hsiao A: History shows Slack status reaction lifecycle work for tool/thinking progress indicators, adjacent to the Slack-visible progress behavior under review. (role: Slack progress adjacent contributor; confidence: medium; commits: cea7162490f4; files: extensions/slack/src/monitor/message-handler/dispatch.ts, src/channels/status-reactions.ts)
