The bot has now completed it's run. If you
see any outstanding tasks that
need to be repaired, please give me the task IDs.
The bot ran for roughly 36 hours, repairing at least 4,000 tasks (perhaps
many more).
There were some issues with the bot that may still affect your tasks:
* The triage level was not restored, or was put in "Needs triage". This
was fixed around 16:00 UTC on July 1. Hundreds of tasks were affected.
* For most of the bot's run, it was subject to a newly imposed rate
limiting. If the rate limit was hit in the middle of repairing a task, the
bot may not have fixed everything. Many tasks were affected. This issue was
fixed around 15:00 UTC on July 1.
* For some tasks, the vandal removed tags as well adding some. The bot
did not properly restore the removed tags until around 12:00 UTC on July 2.
The number of tasks affected by this is estimated to be low.
* Some tasks have "custom fields" that were vandalized, which the bot did
not restore. An example is the "due date" on
. The number of tasks affected
by this should be very low.
If you notice any tasks where the bot didn't fix everything, and you
don't want to fix it yourself, just give me the task IDs and I can re-run
the bot on those.
Thanks to Andre, Mukunda, and everyone else to helped with this effort.

Hi Leon. I can't thank you enough for your
efforts to help clean things
up in Phabricator. I can, however, help make the bot more effective. See
below for responses inline.

An update... the bot went to sleep as instructed
a few hours after I
went to sleep. Bot is now back up and running, with some ~4,500 tasks still
to fix.
A few problems:
* The new "rate limiting" of the API is rather rigorous. Release
engineering tried to whitelist the bot but we had no luck. So, it will take
some time to go through everything.
I'm still looking into why the bot hits the rate limit. I'm sure I can
come up with a way to get it whitelisted.
* If the bot hits the rate limit while editing a
task, all other
changes it was going to make to that task didn't happen. Hence you may see
only some corrections on some tasks.
* The priority level is now being set to "Needs triage". This is
because the Conduit API gives me numbers for the priority level, and the
edit API wants a string (?!?). I don't know what numbers are for what
priorities, so "Needs triage" it is. Older versions of the script left the
priority level unchanged, so either way you may wish to review the
priorities of your tasks. If you know what the priority number to string
mapping is, please tell me :)
If you would like to alter the bot to restore the correct priority, this
should help; The priority levels are configured as follows:
{
"10": {
"color": "sky",
"keywords": [
"lowest"
],
"name": "Lowest",
"short": "Lowest"
},
"25": {
"color": "yellow",
"keywords": [
"low"
],
"name": "Low",
"short": "Low"
},
"50": {
"color": "orange",
"keywords": [
"normal"
],
"name": "Normal",
"short": "Normal"
},
"80": {
"color": "red",
"keywords": [
"high"
],
"name": "High",
"short": "High"
},
"90": {
"color": "violet",
"keywords": [
"triage"
],
"name": "Needs Triage",
"short": "Triage"
},
"100": {
"color": "pink",
"keywords": [
"unbreak"
],
"name": "Unbreak Now!",
"short": "Unbreak!"
}
}
