feat(comment-cli): default unattributed comments to the AI identity#565
Merged
Conversation
The `rw comment` CLI's primary user is an LLM agent, but with no env var or flag configured it stamped comments as the human `local:human`/"You" identity, indistinguishable in the browser from the reviewer's own comments. Default the CLI to the viewer-recognized `local:ai`/"AI" identity (sparkles avatar) instead; env vars and flags still override, and the browser/`rw serve` path is unchanged. Docs and CHANGELOG updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
The
rw commentCLI's primary user is an LLM agent, yet with no env var or flag configured it stamped new comments with the shared default identity{ id: "local:human", name: "You" }— indistinguishable in the browser from the human reviewer's own comments.This defaults the CLI to the viewer-recognized
{ id: "local:ai", name: "AI" }identity, which renders with a sparkles avatar. Env vars (RW_COMMENT_AUTHOR_ID/RW_COMMENT_AUTHOR_NAME) and--author-*flags still override.Scope
rw commentCLI default changes. The shared store fallback (Author::local_human()) and therw servebrowser write path staylocal:human— a browser comment is from a human.Author::local_ai()is added next tolocal_human()inrw-comments, sincelocal:aiis already a canonical viewer identity.resolve_authornow returnsAuthor(defaulting tolocal_ai()) instead ofResult<Option<Author>>; the two call sites wrap it inSome(..).NewComment.author/CreateComment.authorremainOption<Author>(HTTP deserialization relies on it).Tests
cargo test -p rw -p rw-comments— green (resolver unit tests updated to assert thelocal:aidefault; error-path tests unchanged).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
