Fix TypeScript Compilation Errors in Safe Output Handlers

Problem

CI is failing with TypeScript compilation errors in three JavaScript files:

create_discussion.cjs(535,11): Cannot find name 'temporaryId'
create_project.cjs(414,13): Cannot find name 'temporaryId'
create_project_status_update.cjs(378,13): No value exists in scope for the shorthand property 'title'

Solution

Fixed all three TypeScript compilation errors:

create_discussion.cjs: Added missing imports and implemented temporary ID generation logic
create_project.cjs: Added missing imports and implemented temporary ID validation and generation logic
create_project_status_update.cjs: Removed incorrect title reference from previewInfo object in staged mode

Refactoring

Created reusable helper function getOrGenerateTemporaryId() in temporary_id.cjs to eliminate code duplication:

Consolidated 75 lines of duplicated code into a single 43-line helper function
Updated create_issue.cjs, create_discussion.cjs, and create_project.cjs to use the new helper
Maintains all existing validation logic and error messages
Includes proper TypeScript type annotations for type safety

Changes Made

Analyzed the errors and understood the pattern from working files
Fixed create_discussion.cjs: Added missing temporaryId variable generation
Fixed create_project.cjs: Added missing temporaryId variable generation
Fixed create_project_status_update.cjs: Removed incorrect title reference in previewInfo
Refactored temporary ID validation into reusable getOrGenerateTemporaryId() helper function
Verified TypeScript type checking passes
Verified JavaScript tests pass (no regressions)
Verified code formatting passes

All three files now use the centralized helper function for temporary ID handling, reducing duplication and improving maintainability.

@copilot keep working

All TypeScript compilation errors have been fixed! ✅

Changes made (commit e5618d6):

Fixed create_discussion.cjs: Added temporary ID generation and validation logic
Fixed create_project.cjs: Added temporary ID generation and validation logic
Fixed create_project_status_update.cjs: Removed invalid title reference

Validation:

TypeScript compilation: ✅ PASSING
JavaScript tests: ✅ PASSING
Code formatting: ✅ PASSING

All three files now properly handle temporary IDs following the same pattern as create_issue.cjs.

+    let temporaryId = generateTemporaryId();


@copilot refactor into helper function and reuse

Refactored into getOrGenerateTemporaryId() helper function in temporary_id.cjs (commit 3e6b5de).

Changes:

Created reusable helper function that consolidates the temporary ID validation logic

Updated create_issue.cjs, create_discussion.cjs, and create_project.cjs to use the new helper

Reduced code duplication: 75 lines of duplicated code → 43-line helper function

All tests passing ✅

actions/setup/js/create_project.cjs:373

The item_url temporary-id extraction is constrained to aw_[0-9a-f]{12} and the comment mentions aw_XXXXXXXXXXXX, but the repository-wide temporary_id format (and isTemporaryId()) is aw_ + 3–8 alphanumeric. As written, valid temporary IDs (e.g. aw_abc123 / aw_Test123 / generated 8-char IDs) will never match and won’t be resolved. Update the regex/comment to align with isTemporaryId()/spec so item_url temporary IDs are actually resolvable.

        // Check if item_url contains a temporary ID (either as URL or plain ID)
        // Format: https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/#aw_XXXXXXXXXXXX or #aw_XXXXXXXXXXXX
        const urlMatch = item_url.match(/issues\/(#?aw_[0-9a-f]{12})\s*$/i);
        const plainMatch = item_url.match(/^(#?aw_[0-9a-f]{12})\s*$/i);

        if (urlMatch || plainMatch) {
          const tempIdStr = (urlMatch && urlMatch[1]) || (plainMatch && plainMatch[1]) || "";
          const tempIdWithoutHash = tempIdStr.startsWith("#") ? tempIdStr.substring(1) : tempIdStr;

          // Check if it's a valid temporary ID
          if (isTemporaryId(tempIdWithoutHash)) {
            // Look up in the unified temporaryIdMap
            const resolved = temporaryIdMap.get(normalizeTemporaryId(tempIdWithoutHash));

actions/setup/js/create_project.cjs

 const { loadAgentOutput } = require("./load_agent_output.cjs");
 const { getErrorMessage } = require("./error_helpers.cjs");
-const { normalizeTemporaryId, isTemporaryId } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");
+const { normalizeTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, generateTemporaryId, getOrGenerateTemporaryId } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");


generateTemporaryId is imported from temporary_id.cjs but isn’t used in this module anymore (temporary IDs come from getOrGenerateTemporaryId()). Consider removing it from the destructured require to avoid confusion about the source of temporary IDs.

Suggested change

const { normalizeTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, generateTemporaryId, getOrGenerateTemporaryId } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");

const { normalizeTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, getOrGenerateTemporaryId } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");

Copilot · 2026-02-14T17:26:05Z

actions/setup/js/create_discussion.cjs

 const { getTrackerID } = require("./get_tracker_id.cjs");
 const { sanitizeTitle, applyTitlePrefix } = require("./sanitize_title.cjs");
-const { replaceTemporaryIdReferences } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");
+const { generateTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, normalizeTemporaryId, getOrGenerateTemporaryId, replaceTemporaryIdReferences } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");


generateTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, and normalizeTemporaryId are imported here but not referenced anywhere in create_discussion.cjs (only getOrGenerateTemporaryId and replaceTemporaryIdReferences are used). Removing unused imports will make it clearer which temporary-id utilities this handler actually depends on.

Suggested change

const { generateTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, normalizeTemporaryId, getOrGenerateTemporaryId, replaceTemporaryIdReferences } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");

const { getOrGenerateTemporaryId, replaceTemporaryIdReferences } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");

 const { generateWorkflowIdMarker } = require("./generate_footer.cjs");
 const { getTrackerID } = require("./get_tracker_id.cjs");
-const { generateTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, normalizeTemporaryId, replaceTemporaryIdReferences } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");
+const { generateTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, normalizeTemporaryId, getOrGenerateTemporaryId, replaceTemporaryIdReferences } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");


generateTemporaryId is imported from temporary_id.cjs but is no longer used after switching to getOrGenerateTemporaryId(). Consider removing it from the destructured require to keep the dependency list accurate.

Suggested change

const { generateTemporaryId, isTemporaryId, normalizeTemporaryId, getOrGenerateTemporaryId, replaceTemporaryIdReferences } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");

const { isTemporaryId, normalizeTemporaryId, getOrGenerateTemporaryId, replaceTemporaryIdReferences } = require("./temporary_id.cjs");

+        };
+      }
+      // At this point, temporaryId is guaranteed to be a string (not null)
+      const temporaryId = /** @type {string} */ tempIdResult.temporaryId;


create_project now auto-generates a temporaryId via getOrGenerateTemporaryId() when message.temporary_id is missing, but that generated ID isn’t written back onto message.temporary_id and isn’t included in the non-staged return value. As a result, the unified handler manager can’t persist the project mapping (it keys off message.temporary_id) and the caller never receives the auto-generated ID, which contradicts the create_project tool contract (“auto-generated and returned”). Consider setting message.temporary_id to the generated value and/or returning it (e.g. temporaryId) so downstream mapping and follow-up update_project calls work.

Suggested change

const temporaryId = /** @type {string} */ tempIdResult.temporaryId;

const temporaryId = /** @type {string} */ tempIdResult.temporaryId;

// Persist the generated temporary ID back onto the message so downstream

// handlers that key off message.temporary_id can use it.

message.temporary_id = temporaryId;

actions/setup/js/temporary_id.cjs

+/**
+ * Validate and process a temporary_id from a message
+ * Auto-generates a temporary ID if not provided, or validates and normalizes if provided
+ *
+ * @param {Object} message - The message object that may contain a temporary_id field

+ */
+function getOrGenerateTemporaryId(message, entityType = "item") {
+  // Auto-generate if not provided


In getOrGenerateTemporaryId(), the entityType parameter is documented as being used for error messages but it’s not referenced anywhere in the function. Either remove the parameter from the signature/JSDoc, or incorporate it into the returned error strings so the documentation matches behavior.

+      error: null,

+
+  // Validate type

+    return {
+      temporaryId: null,
+      error: `temporary_id must be a string (got ${typeof message.temporary_id})`,
+    };
+  }
+
+  // Normalize and validate format
+  const rawTemporaryId = message.temporary_id.trim();
+  const normalized = rawTemporaryId.startsWith("#") ? rawTemporaryId.substring(1).trim() : rawTemporaryId;
+
+  if (!isTemporaryId(normalized)) {
+    return {
+      temporaryId: null,
+      error: `Invalid temporary_id format: '${message.temporary_id}'. Temporary IDs must be in format 'aw_' followed by 3 to 8 alphanumeric characters (A-Za-z0-9). Example: 'aw_abc' or 'aw_Test123'`,
+    };
+  }
+
+  return {
+    temporaryId: normalized.toLowerCase(),
+    error: null,
+  };
+}


New helper getOrGenerateTemporaryId() is a behavior change (auto-generate, validate, normalize) but there are no unit tests covering its main branches (missing temporary_id, non-string, invalid format, leading #, normalization). Adding targeted tests in temporary_id.test.cjs would help prevent regressions as more handlers adopt this helper.

* Initial plan * Fix TypeScript null check error in create_issue.cjs line 488 Wrap temporaryId with String() before passing to normalizeTemporaryId(). TypeScript's strict null checking was complaining that temporaryId could be null even though we checked for error earlier. The String() wrapper satisfies TypeScript's type system while maintaining the same runtime behavior (normalizeTemporaryId already does String() conversion internally).
