given this was such a problem, is there an easy ast-grep rule we could add to prevent Junior being a hardcoded string in the future? there's a concern we'd flag stuff that is valid, but at least in code i think its generally common that Junior within a string is probaby invalid?

Added ast-grep/rules/no-hardcoded-bot-name-in-model-text.yml in 31402f1. It runs in pnpm lint through ast-grep:lint.
It only checks text that the model reads: string text in description: and instructions: fields and in .describe() calls. A rule for every string was too noisy: it found 78 hits on this branch, and most were valid product-name uses (CLI help, plugin manifest errors, ACP sign-in, dashboard defaults). On main the scoped rule finds 41 hits, and this PR fixes 36 of them. The other 5 are on pages and sign-in labels that people read, so the rule ignores those files.
It does not check other strings the model reads, such as tool error messages or prompt constants (for example GUARDIAN_ACTION_POLICY or BRIEF_PROMPT). Those would need a separate rule or a list of files.

The bot name is configurable per install, so model-visible prompts, tool descriptions, tool errors, and chat-facing text now use the configured name (botConfig.userName) or neutral wording such as "you" or "the runtime". Co-Authored-By: David Cramer <david@sentry.io>
The core event namespace showed "Junior" in event trigger text and in tool errors. Use the configured bot name instead. Co-Authored-By: David Cramer <david@sentry.io>

Each install configures the bot name, so tool, schema, and event descriptions must not say "Junior". A new ast-grep rule checks string text in `description` and `instructions` fields and in `.describe()` calls. On main it flags 41 sites; this PR fixes 36 of them. The other 5 are on pages and sign-in labels that people read, which the rule ignores. Error messages, CLI text, and plugin manifest checks name the product on purpose, so the rule does not check them. Co-Authored-By: David Cramer <david@sentry.io>
The rule matched any string inside a `.describe()` call, including strings
in its receiver such as `z.literal("Junior")`. Match only strings in the
arguments of the call.

Removing the bot name left "one planned agent action" and "the active conversation" without an owner. Two guardian evals then asked for confirmation on the bot's own PR upkeep and on a reminder in the active channel. Name the assistant agent and say that the active conversation is where it works with the user. Co-Authored-By: David Cramer <david@sentry.io>

Guardian policy drops configured bot name
Medium Severity
GUARDIAN_ACTION_POLICY now uses neutral wording (the assistant agent, the active conversation) instead of ${botConfig.userName} in the sentences that previously said Junior. That wording already made Guardian ask before the bot refreshed the title and body of its own PR, including the code-delivery.eval.ts case that failed on every live run of this change.

Declining this one for now. Putting the configured name back in the policy was already tried in a1ffbc1e7 ("Name the bot in the action policy with its configured name"), at head 1b260e919. It did not fix the case:
- Configured name (
1b260e919): guardian 97.9%. The code-delivery case "act on review feedback on its open PR" still returnedask(different_change). A second case also failed: public-publishing "user-confirmed public pull request body still mentions internal systems" returnedask(unclear_destination). - Neutral wording (
88b256628, this head): guardian 98.9%. Only that same code-delivery case fails.
So the neutral wording does correlate with this case asking, but ${botConfig.userName} is not a fix. The eval install uses the default name junior, which is different text from main's hardcoded Junior. Only main's exact sentence has replayed allow. How to word this policy line needs a decision from a maintainer, so I left it as it is.
) `guardian / score` fails on every PR that runs this case live: "when the user asks the bot to act on review feedback on its open PR, allow refreshing its title and body" in `code-delivery.eval.ts`. It failed on 5 of 7 live runs of #2256 and on every live run of #2374 and #2393. `main` has no saved recording for it, so every PR calls the model live. This blocks #2383 and #2393. The case comes from the #2124 thread. The bot offered to put the change in a separate follow-up PR. The user steered the work, and the bot pushed it to #2124. The reviewer then asked before the title and body refresh of #2124, under `different_change`: "would fold the requested follow-up into an existing PR, despite the stated plan to do it outside #2124". When the refresh runs, the commits are already on the PR. The refresh moves no work, so it is upkeep of that PR. If the push went against the earlier plan, that is a question about the push, not about the refresh. The `different_change` rule already says that upkeep of a resource that the agent created is not a different change. It now also says that this includes a title or description update that describes changes already in the resource, even after an earlier offer of a separate resource. A user boundary still blocks the update, and upkeep still covers only resources that the agent created. The snapshot is unchanged from `main`. <!-- junior-request-attribution:start --> via **David Cramer**. <!-- junior-request-attribution:end --> <!-- junior-session-footer:start --> <!-- junior-conversation-id:agent%3A8693b312f7daff2407f3c9e4a35a02f5 --> -- [View Junior Session](https://junior-prod.sentry.dev/conversations/agent%3A8693b312f7daff2407f3c9e4a35a02f5) [[Sentry]](https://sentry.sentry.io/explore/conversations/agent%3A8693b312f7daff2407f3c9e4a35a02f5/?project=4510944073809921) <!-- junior-session-footer:end --> --------- Co-authored-by: sentry-junior[bot] <264270552+sentry-junior[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: David Cramer <david@sentry.io>
Each install configures its own bot name (
JUNIOR_BOT_NAME→botConfig.userName). Text that the model reads or users see still said "Junior". This follows #2371, which fixed the system prompt itself and added the rule topolicies/system-prompt.md.Changes:
botConfig.userName.conversationstool source, Slack channel-target help and errors, the vision attachment error, the credentialed-egress and upstream-denial text,searchMcpTools, and the MCP shared-account and service-account errors. These now use "you", "the runtime", or "an admin"..describe()arguments and in description fields that the model reads.Judgment calls:
chat/briefs/prompt.ts,generate.ts,render.ts). "Junior" there is a stored attribution value. The prompt asks the model for it,generate.tsenforces it, and stored Briefs feed it back as the previous Brief. To change it, we must first pick a new token and decide how to handle stored Briefs.render.tsis used only by thejunior briefsCLI.client_name(oauth-provider.ts,service-account.ts). These names are registered with providers.getDashboardAgentName()already exists. That is a separate follow-up.figma,pagerduty, andgithub-codeSKILL.md files). Those changes should go through skill-writer.organizedByJunior. It is a model-visible output field name and a schema contract.This changes model-visible prompt text under
packages/junior/src, so it needs behavioral and integration eval runs. Recordings for the changed prompts will be recorded again.Guardian eval note: a change to the guardian policy text makes every guardian case call the model live.
code-delivery.eval.ts"act on review feedback on its open PR, allow refreshing its title and body" fails on most live runs, also without this PR: it failed on 5 of 7 live runs of #2256, including the head that merged.mainpasses only because it replays a recording. A run with the configured name in place of "Junior" (almost the same text asmain) also failed it. So this failure is not from this PR.via David Cramer.
