In May 2026, delivered Automated Pull Request Risk Scoring and Labeling for the openshift/release repository. Introduced a presubmit risk scoring job (hyperfleet-risk-scorer) that deterministically scores PR risk using diff size, sensitive path changes, and test coverage, and automatically applies risk labels (low/medium/high) while posting a breakdown in PR comments. The job is configured as optional and uses the hyperfleet-ci-bot for API access, enabling non-blocking risk visibility across the codebase. Enabled across multiple hyperfleet repos: hyperfleet-adapter, hyperfleet-api, hyperfleet-broker, hyperfleet-sentinel. Key commit: b1aa338849b468e847a339a64e69200e2d666631 (HYPERFLEET-991) introducing the risk scoring presubmit job.
