What’s new since v1.1.3

New inputs

  • claude-timeout (default 900). Wall-clock budget for the Claude Code implementation pass. Default raised from 600s after large repos hit the ceiling. Bump for very large codebases, lower to cap cost.
  • pin-arxiv. Force-select a specific arxiv_id from the candidate pool and skip the LLM selection pass. Use it for reproducible eval re-runs. Empty = normal selection (default).

Robustness

  • Brand-new interests auto-refresh. An empty recommendation pool now triggers POST /papers/recommended/refresh and polls until picks appear (up to ~150s) instead of failing the run. Day-zero interests work without a manual nudge.
  • master-default repos supported. PR base + the commit-time sanity check now read the repo’s actual default branch via git symbolic-ref rather than hardcoding main.
  • unvalidated pytest classification. A pytest run that can’t collect (missing repo deps on the CI runner, exit 5, ImportError during collection) is no longer reported as failed. PR body labels it ℹ️ Tests could not run in CI and points reviewers at local validation.
  • Issues-disabled repos. When the target repo has Issues turned off (HTTP 410 on POST /issues), the orchestrator enables them via PATCH and retries once.
  • Branch-ref safety in commit cleanup. Build-artifact prune excludes .git/ from traversal, eliminating a class of orphan-root-commit failures on branches whose names contain /.
  • Shallow-clone-friendly pushes. Branch push is now delete-then-plain-push instead of --force, which was confusing GitHub’s PR validator into rejecting --depth 20 clones as “no history in common with main.”
  • LFS smudge skip. GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 on clone, so repos with exhausted LFS bandwidth don’t fail at checkout. The orchestrator only reads code structure and writes small text edits; pointer files are sufficient.
  • --untracked-files=all in change detection. Files inside a brand-new directory (first-ever tests/, first-ever docs/) are now seen per-file instead of collapsed to the directory entry.

Visibility

  • Non-zero exit on claude_failed and error. Workflow step fails visibly instead of going green with no PR or Issue.
  • Enriched selection log. $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY lists rejected candidates as clickable arxiv links with reasons. selection_rejected in $GITHUB_OUTPUT carries {arxiv_id, title, reason} triples.
  • Per-run cost accumulation across all Claude passes. Pre-flight + selection + implementation + self-review token and dollar costs sum into a single line in the step summary and the cost_usd / input_tokens / output_tokens outputs.

Customer signal

  • Outrider Validate waitlist linked from the PR body. Eval-on-every-PR (paid tier, coming soon); design-partner pilot open at discussions/19.

Backward compatibility

All existing workflows continue to work without changes. The uses: path, every existing with: input, and every output are unchanged from v1.1.3. The two new inputs (claude-timeout, pin-arxiv) are optional with safe defaults.

What is Outrider

A composite GitHub Action that scouts the arXiv frontier for your repo. Outrider opens a draft PR wiring the next paper into an existing call site, or starts a discussion Issue when a PR would be premature. Powered by the Remyx engine + Claude Code.

See the README for the 5-minute setup walkthrough.

Costs

  • Claude Code: ~$2-3 per PR-track run. You bring your own ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
  • Remyx API: included in your remyx.ai account.
  • GitHub Actions: ~6-8 min on ubuntu-latest per run.

At weekly cadence (default rate-limit-days: 7), expect ~$2-4/mo Claude.
