Conversation
Commits are not always made by a person. On GitHub, squash merges and merge commits made through the web UI are committed as `GitHub <noreply@github.com>`, and the author is whoever opened the pull request - which can itself be a bot. In that case neither of the two identities in the approval message points at the person waiting on the deploy, so nobody gets mentioned. Let CI pass that identity in via the new optional TRIGGERED_BY_EMAIL variable. When set, a `Triggered by` line is added to the message, mentioning the person if the email matches a Slack profile and falling back to the plain email if it does not - same behaviour as the existing committer and author lines. When it is unset, the message is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

AI Code Review Summary
This summary was automatically generated by the AI code review workflow. |
- Reject whitespace-only TRIGGERED_BY_EMAIL, not just empty string - Suppress the Triggered by line entirely for GitHub noreply addresses (bare noreply@github.com and the privacy-enabled <id>+<user>@users.noreply.github.com form), since neither resolves to a real person - Log Slack lookup failures instead of failing silently

Same-repo mirror of #7 (#7 from AndreiHippo:feat/triggered-by-email), opened so the AI code review workflow can run on it - fork PRs are excluded by design (see #8).
Original description from #7:
Problem
The approval message identifies two people: the commits committer and its author. Neither is reliably a person. On GitHub, every commit created by the platform itself - squash merges, merge commits, rebase merges, web-editor edits, API-created commits - is committed as
GitHub <noreply@github.com>. On a protected branch that only ever receives merges through the merge button, that is every commit. The author is whoever opened the pull request, which is often a bot (Dependabot, a code-review app). So an approval request can arrive with no human mentioned at all, even though a person just pressed Merge and is waiting on the deploy.Change
A new optional
TRIGGERED_BY_EMAILvariable. When set, aTriggered byline is added to the details block, resolving the email to a Slack mention and falling back to the plain email - the same treatment the committer and author lines already get. When unset, the message is byte-for-byte what it is today.Testing
flake8andpylint -Eclean, perlint.sh.main.pywith Slack and git stubbed, across all three paths: email resolvable in Slack (mention), email unknown to Slack (plain-text fallback), and variable unset (unchanged output).Credit: AndreiHippo. Close #7 once this merges (or supersede it).
