Patterns & Learnings

2026-06-19

  • Skipped: sharkdp/fd#1686 — already has PR #1997 from another contributor (docs wording fix, stale ~3.5 weeks, 1 review COMMENTED by tmccombs)
  • Pattern/adjustment: Filter candidates with existing open PRs earlier in the pipeline to avoid wasted investigation

2026-06-20

  • Candidate: sharkdp/fd#1686 — [BUG] The help page is confusing for –full-path option (score: None/10)
  • Skipped: already has PR #1997 from leno23 (open, clean, 4 commits, 6 files changed)
  • Pattern/adjustment: PR candidates pipeline should check for existing PRs referencing the issue before surfacing the candidate

2026-06-21

  • Candidate: gitleaks/gitleaks#2121 — perf: detectRule() calls r.Regex.FindAllStringIndex twice per match cycle, doubling regex work on every scan (score: None/10)
  • Skipped: gitleaks/gitleaks#2121 — already fixed, PR #2163 submitted, blog post generated. Stale candidate.
  • Pattern/adjustment: Phase 1a should filter candidates already in benchmark-tracker.json before surfacing them to pr-candidates.json
