Part of #1881

Adds pullRequest.reviewers to PromotionStrategy, so promotion PRs open with reviewers already requested. Expression-based, mirroring pullRequest.labels.

spec:
  pullRequest:
    reviewers:
      expression: |
        let autoMerge = Spec.AutoMerge ?? true;
        autoMerge ? [] :
          Spec.ActiveBranch == 'environment/production'
            ? ['alice', {group: 'release-managers'}]
            : ['charlie']

A bare string means {user: <name>}. {group: <name>} is an org team on GitHub.

The flow follows labels: the CTP controller evaluates the expression into PullRequest.spec.reviewers, and the PullRequest controller diffs against status.appliedReviewers to add or remove. New internal/reviewers package mirrors internal/labels.

Implemented for GitHub only. The other providers return a clear error when reviewers are configured.

Reviewers are applied on the reconcile after the PR is created, because createPullRequest returns early and the reviewer step needs status.id.

Not verified against a live GitHub repo — envtest covers the fake provider only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added dynamic pull request reviewer configuration using expressions.
    • Reviewers can be specified as SCM users or groups and are automatically added or withdrawn as configuration changes.
    • GitHub supports reviewer synchronization; other SCM providers report that reviewer management is not yet supported.
  • Documentation
    • Added configuration guidance, provider support details, and reviewer-related monitoring metrics documentation.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for reviewer evaluation, validation, synchronization, and unsupported providers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds dynamic pull request reviewer configuration. Expressions select users or groups, controllers propagate desired reviewers, and SCM providers add or remove review requests. API schemas, validation, tests, metrics, and documentation are updated.

Changes

Dynamic pull request reviewers

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reviewer API contracts and generated schemas
api/v1alpha1/*, api/view/v1alpha1/*, applyconfiguration/..., config/crd/bases/*
Adds reviewer expression types, reviewer entries, applied reviewer status, validation rules, generated clients, OpenAPI definitions, and CRD schemas.
Expression evaluation and controller propagation
internal/reviewers/*, internal/controller/promotionstrategy_controller.go, internal/controller/changetransferpolicy_controller.go
Compiles and caches reviewer expressions, validates results, and propagates managed reviewers from PromotionStrategy through ChangeTransferPolicy to PullRequest.
Reviewer reconciliation and SCM operations
internal/controller/pullrequest_controller.go, internal/scms/*, internal/metrics/metrics.go
Computes reviewer additions and removals, updates applied reviewer status, implements GitHub operations, reports unsupported providers, and extends fake and mock providers.
Validation coverage and documentation
internal/controller/pullrequest_reviewers_test.go, internal/reviewers/reviewers_test.go, docs/*, hack/celcost/report.md, internal/controller/testdata/*
Tests expression evaluation and synchronization, updates fixtures and CEL cost data, and documents configuration, provider support, and reviewer metrics.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ea3d6

The reviewer test package does not compile, so the change should be corrected before merge. Reviewer-removal errors and retry semantics otherwise behave as intended.

response or explicit state check confirms the review request is absent. Preserve
nil returns only for confirmed successful removal and prevent AppliedReviewers
from being updated after an unconfirmed failure.

@sahil-sharma since we're still evaluating whether the feature is a good cost/benefit tradeoff, would you mind asking the robots to try to implement the other SCMs? No need to commit it to this branch if you don't want. It would just be nice to see if there are any gotchas lurking in the other SCMs that would be helpful to know about before we make a go/no-go decision.

Sure. I will give it a shot and see what our AI friends have to say on this. BTW "asking robots" was a good crack. 😂
