LinkBot fails to recognize 'Closes' and 'Resolves' keywords

[cheese-cakee]

Beginner Friendly

This issue is intended for contributors who are new to the Hiero Python SDK.

Problem Description

The \�ot-pr-missing-linked-issue\ workflow currently uses a strict regex that only matches \Fixes. It fails to recognize standard GitHub closing keywords like \Closes\ and \Resolves.

• File: .github/scripts/bot-pr-missing-linked-issue.js\
• Current Regex: /\bFixes\s*:?\s*(#\d+)(\s*,\s*#\d+)*/i\

This causes the bot to complain even when a PR correctly uses \Closes #123.

Expected Solution

Update the regex to support all standard GitHub closing keywords: \Fixes, \Closes, and \Resolves\ (case-insensitive).

Implementation Steps

1. Locate .github/scripts/bot-pr-missing-linked-issue.js.
2. Find the line defining \const regex.
3. Update the regex to: /\b(Fixes|Closes|Resolves)\s*:?\s*(#\d+)(\s*,\s*#\d+)*/i\

Acceptance Criteria

• The bot should recognize \Fixes chore: [StepSecurity] Apply security best practices #123.
• The bot should recognize \Closes chore: [StepSecurity] Apply security best practices #123.
• The bot should recognize \Resolves chore: [StepSecurity] Apply security best practices #123.

@github-actions[bot], I'll create a plan to update the LinkBot to recognize all standard GitHub closing keywords.

Task: Update LinkBot regex to support Closes and Resolves keywords

• Read the current bot-pr-missing-linked-issue.js file to understand implementation
• Update the regex pattern to match Fixes, Closes, and Resolves
• Verify the change handles all acceptance criteria

Perfect! I've examined the file. Now I'll provide the complete plan to update both the regex pattern and the bot's comment message to reflect all three supported keywords.

Task: Update LinkBot regex to support Closes and Resolves keywords

• Update the regex pattern on line 29 to match Fixes, Closes, and Resolves
• Update the example in the comment body to show all three valid options
• This will satisfy all acceptance criteria

---

Summary: This plan updates the LinkBot to recognize all three standard GitHub closing keywords (Fixes, Closes, Resolves) and updates the bot's message to inform users about all available options. The changes are minimal and focused, making this a perfect beginner-friendly issue as labeled.

@exploreriii , I accidentally assigned myself to this issue. The fix is already implemented in commit 7fbb306, so I’m unassigning myself to avoid duplicate work. Thanks!
