Aaron PowellandCopilot App 666a521cd5 fix(external-plugins): preserve cards during intake

Include submissions awaiting review or submitter fixes in the review board feed so refreshes preserve their existing state. Keep fast-track and approval gated on a ready intake state, and add regression coverage for card persistence across pending transitions.

External Plugin Review Board

A maintainer-only Copilot canvas extension for triaging active external-plugin submissions in github/awesome-copilot.

Open it by asking Copilot to "open the plugin review board" (canvas id external-plugin-review-board).

Features

Kanban board with buckets: Unreviewed → Reviewing → Straight reject / Probably reject / Needs review / Accept → Actioned. Drag cards between buckets (or use the Bucket dropdown in the details panel). Dragging a card back to Unreviewed clears its AI review so it's picked up by the next review.
Perform review asks the agent to review every item without an AI review, using review-guidance.md and the decisions you've made from the board. Results are recorded with the record_review canvas action and move cards into their recommended bucket.
Re-review (in the details panel) takes optional guidance on what to focus on, then has the agent spin up a separate sub-session to re-assess that one submission. The sub-session reports its result back and it's recorded on the card along with your guidance.
Refresh fetches open external-plugin issues in ready-for-review, awaiting-review, or requires-submitter-fixes states. Pending intake cards stay on the board so their AI reviews, manual buckets, queued re-reviews, and fast-track dismissal state are preserved. Approval and first-party fast-track are unavailable until intake is ready.
First-party fast-track: cards labelled first party (repository owned by a Microsoft/GitHub organization) skip AI review and go straight to Accept with a suggested /approve. Only submissions that passed automated intake reach the board, so hard validation failures are still held back by intake. Fast-track never overrides an existing review or a bucket you chose; drag a card to Unreviewed to opt it out and have it reviewed normally. Cards show First party / Third party pills from the intake labels.
Details panel shows the AI review, the rendered issue body, and all comments.
Quick actions post /approve (with an optional note) or /reject <reason> straight to the issue after a confirm click. The reject reason is prefilled from the AI's suggested comment.

State

Board state lives in <session.workspacePath>/extensions/external-plugin-review-board/state/board.json. This is Copilot's session-state workspace, not the repository checkout. It stores the synced issue metadata, AI reviews, manual bucket overrides, and a history of decisions made from the board. State survives extension reloads and resuming the same session; a new session has its own board. Infinite sessions must be enabled to provide the workspace. Keeping writes outside the extension folder avoids invalidating its safety fingerprint. State previously stored in the extension folder is not imported; boards start fresh.

Requirements

The GitHub CLI (gh) on PATH, authenticated as a maintainer with write access (needed for /approve and /reject to be honoured by the command router workflow).

Agent actions

get_board, refresh, start_review, start_rereview, record_review, move_item, get_issue.

Regression tests

Run node --experimental-vm-modules --test eng/board-state-storage.test.mjs from the repository root to check both canvases' session-scoped persistence without accessing GitHub.
