Explanation of Change

Background: The Expensify App repo uses claude-code-action to run automated code reviews on every PR via .github/workflows/claude-review.yml. The reviewer agent operates in a restricted sandbox where only explicitly whitelisted Bash commands are permitted through the allowedTools parameter - currently limited to gh pr diff and gh pr view. Separately, a coding standards rule (CLEAN-REACT-PATTERNS-0) instructs the reviewer to verify whether a file compiles with React Compiler before flagging manual memoization as redundant.

Problem: When the reviewer agent tries to verify React Compiler compliance per the rule's instructions, it cannot execute the npx react-compiler-healthcheck command due to the allowedTools whitelist, which prevents it from distinguishing files that compile (where manual memoization is redundant) from files that don't (where manual memoization may be necessary).

Solution: Replace the npx react-compiler-healthcheck instruction with npm run react-compiler-compliance-check check <filepath> - an existing repo script that wraps the same healthcheck - and add Bash(npm run react-compiler-compliance-check:*) to the allowedTools whitelist so the reviewer can execute it.

Changes across 3 files:

  • .claude/skills/coding-standards/rules/clean-react-0-compiler.md - swapped npx react-compiler-healthcheck --src "<filepath>" --verbose with npm run react-compiler-compliance-check check <filepath>
  • .github/workflows/claude-review.yml - added Bash(npm run react-compiler-compliance-check:*) to allowedTools
  • .claude/commands/review-code-pr.md - added the same pattern to allowed-tools frontmatter

Fixed Issues

$ #85070
PROPOSAL:

Tests

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console
  1. Run npm run react-compiler-compliance-check check src/components/CurrentWalletBalance.tsx
  2. Verify the output shows "React Compiler compliance check passed!" with no "Failed to compile" section
  3. Run npm run react-compiler-compliance-check check src/hooks/usePaginatedReportActions.ts
  4. Verify the output shows "Failed to compile 1 modified files with React Compiler:" followed by the file path
  5. Open .github/workflows/claude-review.yml and verify Bash(npm run react-compiler-compliance-check:*) is present in allowedTools on line 77
  6. Open .claude/commands/review-code-pr.md and verify the same pattern is in the allowed-tools frontmatter
  7. Open .claude/skills/coding-standards/rules/clean-react-0-compiler.md and verify the verification command is npm run react-compiler-compliance-check check <filepath>

Offline tests

N/A - changes are to CI workflow config and reviewer instructions only, no runtime code affected.

QA Steps

// TODO: These must be filled out, or the issue title must include "[No QA]."

N/A - this is a CI/tooling change with no user-facing impact. Verification is that the reviewer agent can successfully run the compliance check on future PRs.

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
      • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

Screenshots/Videos

Android: Native
Android: mWeb Chrome
iOS: Native
iOS: mWeb Safari
MacOS: Chrome / Safari

Only the command changes from npx to npm run; the single-line
parsing instruction was already clear enough for the reviewer agent.

P1 Badge Remove unsafe compliance-check shell access

Adding Bash(npm run react-compiler-compliance-check:*) in the pull_request_target review job lets the agent execute a script that shells out with interpolated input (execSync(\npx react-compiler-healthcheck ${srcArg} --verbose`)inscripts/react-compiler-compliance-check.ts`), so a PR-controlled filepath containing shell substitution can trigger arbitrary command execution when the reviewer runs the recommended check command. This capability was previously blocked by the tool allowlist, so enabling it here introduces a new high-impact injection path unless file paths are strictly escaped or passed as argv arrays.

@kacper-mikolajczak @adhorodyski I feel like this is a real problem as anyone could update the contents of the script, right?

I feel like this is a real problem as anyone could update the contents of the script, right?

CI workflow checks out and executes scripts directly from the main branch, so potential bad actor can't simply change the script contents (otherwise our CI wouldn't be secure at all).

However, the Codex remark is about potential shell execution crafted with uncontrolled file paths. Following what we have in other scripts, I added a script wrapper in order to check for vulnerable characters in file paths. I would like to ask you @mountiny to tag anyone you'd like to perform a cross-check with, so we increase our confidence before we push this forward.

Also kindly asking @adhorodyski for review, too ❤️

Thanks! @roryabraham @AndrewGable Mind giving this one a look too please?

Add check-compiler.sh that validates filepaths with a strict
allowlist regex before calling the compliance script. This follows
the same pattern as other reviewer proxy scripts (addPrReaction.sh,
createInlineComment.sh). Reverts the execFileSync change since
input validation at the boundary is sufficient.

I think this is fine for now, but just FYI the react-compiler-healthcheck tool is deprecated, so long-term I think a better tool call would be to just execute the react compiler babel plugin directly (via babel cli)

Thanks for the heads-up, @roryabraham! What is the plan/schedule for the deprecation of react-compiler-healthcheck and babel plugin check roll-out?

Switching to babel plugin directly should also mitigate the discrepancies between health check and actual compilation results, so I am rooting for it!
