Problem

Pattern: Task-type failures — implementation-worker cannot directly inspect PR changes in PR fix mode
Category: Task-type failures (Category 1)

Evidence

The implementation-worker.md has two operating modes:

New Issue Implementation — creates new code from scratch
PR Fix Mode — fixes a failing PR (CI failures, review feedback)

In PR fix mode, the worker's documented process (Step 2) is:

Read the PR to understand what it does and what's failing.

However, the worker's Forgejo permission block does NOT include:

forgejo_list_pull_request_files — lists changed files in a PR
forgejo_get_pull_request_diff — gets the full diff of a PR

The worker only has:

forgejo:
  "forgejo_get_pull_request_by_index": allow   # PR metadata only
  "forgejo_list_pull_reviews": allow            # Review comments
  "forgejo_list_pull_review_comments": allow    # Review inline comments

Impact: When a worker is in PR fix mode, it cannot directly read the PR diff or the list of changed files. It must rely entirely on:

CI log output (via ci-log-fetcher) to understand what failed
Review comments to understand what reviewers want changed
Cloning the repo and manually inspecting the branch

This creates a systematic inefficiency: workers in PR fix mode must clone the entire repository just to understand what files were changed, when the Forgejo API could provide this information directly and cheaply.

Comparison: The pr-reviewer.md agent (which also reads PRs) has both permissions:

"forgejo_get_pull_request_diff": allow
"forgejo_list_pull_request_files": allow

The pr-review-pool-supervisor.md also has both:

"forgejo_list_pull_request_files": allow
"forgejo_get_pull_request_diff": allow

The implementation-worker is the only PR-reading agent that lacks these permissions.

Root Cause

The permissions were likely set when the worker was primarily designed for new issue implementation. The PR fix mode was added later but the permissions weren't updated to match.

Proposed Change

Add two permissions to implementation-worker.md's Forgejo permission block:

Current:

forgejo:
  "*": deny
  "forgejo_get_issue_by_index": allow
  "forgejo_list_issue_comments": allow
  "forgejo_issue_add_comment": allow
  "forgejo_get_pull_request_by_index": allow
  "forgejo_list_pull_reviews": allow
  "forgejo_list_pull_review_comments": allow
  "forgejo_list_repo_milestones": allow
  "forgejo_get_file_content": allow

Proposed (two lines added):

forgejo:
  "*": deny
  "forgejo_get_issue_by_index": allow
  "forgejo_list_issue_comments": allow
  "forgejo_issue_add_comment": allow
  "forgejo_get_pull_request_by_index": allow
  "forgejo_list_pull_request_files": allow
  "forgejo_get_pull_request_diff": allow
  "forgejo_list_pull_reviews": allow
  "forgejo_list_pull_review_comments": allow
  "forgejo_list_repo_milestones": allow
  "forgejo_get_file_content": allow

Impact

Workers in PR fix mode can directly inspect what files changed and the full diff
Reduces unnecessary full-repo clones just to understand PR scope
Aligns implementation-worker permissions with pr-reviewer (which already has these)
No security risk — these are read-only operations on public PR data

✅ Decision: APPROVED — Adding read-only PR diff and file list permissions to the implementation-worker is a sound improvement. The pr-reviewer already has these permissions, and the implementation-worker in PR fix mode needs the same information. This reduces unnecessary full-repo clones and aligns permissions with actual usage patterns. Approved — proceed with updating the implementation-worker agent definition. Mark as Should Have.
