This PR implements an automated solution to identify and close pull requests with titles matching the pattern "Invalid result https://t.me/...". These PRs are typically auto-generated or spam submissions that should not be processed.

Problem

The repository may receive PRs with titles like "Invalid result https://t.me/someuser" which are invalid submissions that need to be closed automatically to maintain repository hygiene.

Solution

🔧 Python Utility Script (utils/close_invalid_telegram_prs.py)

A comprehensive script that:

  • Uses regex pattern ^invalid\s+result\s+https://t\.me/.* (case insensitive) to identify matching PRs
  • Integrates with GitHub API to fetch and close PRs
  • Supports dry-run mode for safe testing: --dry-run
  • Requires interactive confirmation before closing PRs
  • Handles authentication via GitHub token (CLI argument or environment variable)
  • Includes robust error handling and logging
# Safe testing - shows what would be closed
python utils/close_invalid_telegram_prs.py --dry-run

# Interactive closing with confirmation
python utils/close_invalid_telegram_prs.py

⚡ GitHub Actions Workflow (.github/workflows/close-invalid-telegram-prs.yml)

Automated workflow that:

  • Runs daily at 2 AM UTC in dry-run mode for monitoring
  • Provides manual trigger with option to run in live mode
  • Uses minimal required permissions (pull-requests: write, issues: write)
  • Automatically installs dependencies

🧪 Comprehensive Testing (tests/test_close_invalid_telegram_prs.py)

Unit tests covering:

  • Valid pattern matching: "Invalid result https://t.me/user" ✅
  • Invalid pattern rejection: "Fix telegram site" ❌
  • Case insensitivity: "INVALID RESULT https://t.me/user" ✅
  • Whitespace handling: " Invalid result https://t.me/user " ✅
  • Edge cases and boundary conditions

All 4 tests pass successfully.

📚 Documentation (docs/INVALID_TELEGRAM_PR_CLOSER.md)

Complete documentation including:

  • Usage instructions and examples
  • Security considerations
  • Troubleshooting guide
  • Customization options

Current State

No existing PRs were found matching the pattern after extensive searching. This solution provides proactive protection against future invalid submissions.

Security & Safety

  • Requires explicit confirmation before closing PRs (except in automated monitoring mode)
  • Dry-run mode available for safe testing
  • Minimal GitHub permissions
  • Full audit trail of all actions
  • No automatic closing without manual intervention by default

The solution is production-ready and will automatically handle any future PRs matching the "Invalid result https://t.me/..." pattern while maintaining security and providing administrator control.
