First-time contributors' checklist

What is changed, added or deleted? (Required)

This PR redesigns the weekly docs sync automation from a single aggregated docs-cn PR into a per-source-PR workflow.

What it does:

  • Scans merged PRs from PingCAP source repositories (excluding pingcap/docs and pingcap/docs-cn) within a fixed weekly window (Monday 00:00 to next Monday 00:00, Asia/Shanghai).
  • Uses heuristic signals (labels, keywords, and touched paths) to detect source PRs that are likely to require documentation updates.
  • Produces a candidate matrix and creates docs-cn PRs per source PR (instead of mixing multiple source PRs into one docs PR).
  • Maps source base branches to target docs-cn branches (for example, release-8.5 -> release-8.5) so version-specific updates are separated correctly.
  • Applies scoped docs-cn updates for each source PR and includes source traceability metadata in each generated docs-cn PR.

Problems this solves:

  • Eliminates reviewer ownership ambiguity caused by mixed weekly PRs by making each docs-cn PR correspond to exactly one source PR.
  • Avoids cherry-pick/version conflicts caused by combining multiple source branches into one docs PR.
  • Improves traceability and accountability by linking each docs-cn PR directly to its source PR and branch context.
  • Reduces repeated API work by scanning once and reusing artifacts in downstream per-candidate jobs.
  • Adds idempotent, PR-granular update behavior to make repeated weekly runs safer and easier to operate.

Which TiDB version(s) do your changes apply to? (Required)

Tips for choosing the affected version(s):

By default, CHOOSE MASTER ONLY so your changes will be applied to the next TiDB major or minor releases. If your PR involves a product feature behavior change or a compatibility change, CHOOSE THE AFFECTED RELEASE BRANCH(ES) AND MASTER.

For details, see tips for choosing the affected versions.

  • master (the latest development version)
  • v9.0 (TiDB 9.0 versions)
  • v8.5 (TiDB 8.5 versions)
  • v8.1 (TiDB 8.1 versions)
  • v7.5 (TiDB 7.5 versions)
  • v7.1 (TiDB 7.1 versions)
  • v6.5 (TiDB 6.5 versions)
  • v6.1 (TiDB 6.1 versions)
  • v5.4 (TiDB 5.4 versions)

Code Review

This pull request introduces a Python script to automate the weekly identification of merged TiDB PRs that may require documentation updates based on labels, keywords, and file paths. Feedback includes addressing a logic error in the time window calculation to avoid timezone mismatches and overlapping reports, using word boundaries for keyword matching to prevent false positives, removing redundant keywords, and implementing error handling for GitHub API requests.

high

The current search query uses date strings (e.g., 2023-10-23..2023-10-30), which has two significant issues:

  1. Timezone Mismatch: GitHub interprets these dates in UTC. Since your window is calculated in Shanghai time (UTC+8), PRs merged between 00:00 and 08:00 Shanghai time on the start date will be missed (as their UTC date is the previous day).
  2. Overlapping Reports: The .. syntax in GitHub search is inclusive. A PR merged on the end_date will be included in this week's report and also in next week's report (where it will be the start_date).

To fix this, use full ISO 8601 timestamps with timezone offsets and ensure the range is exclusive of the end time.

medium

The substring matching kw in text can lead to false positives for short keywords. For example, "api" will match "capital" or "rapid", and "sql" will match "mysql". Consider using regular expressions with word boundaries (\b) to ensure keywords are matched as whole words only.

low

The urllib.request.urlopen call lacks error handling. If the GitHub API returns a non-200 status code (e.g., 403 due to rate limiting or 401 due to an invalid token), the script will raise an unhandled HTTPError. Consider adding a try-except block to provide a more informative error message or handle retries for transient issues.

Update the weekly docs-check workflow to scan merged code PRs across the pingcap organization instead of only pingcap/tidb. Introduce SOURCE_ORG and EXCLUDED_REPOS env vars (defaulting to pingcap/docs and pingcap/docs-cn), update job/name strings, commit/title templates, and the PR body/link to reflect the org-wide scan and excluded repos.
Add automation to apply heuristic weekly doc updates to docs-cn.

- Add scripts/apply_weekly_docs_cn_updates.py: reads the scan JSON, maps PRs/paths to target docs, and appends a "weekly code sync" section to matched docs; writes a summary to docs-cn/weekly-doc-sync/applied-doc-updates.json.
- Update workflow .github/workflows/tidb-pr-weekly-doc-check.yml to copy the scan JSON, run the new script when updates are needed, and include the update summary in the created PR (also adjust PR copy text).
- Update scripts/check_tidb_prs_and_create_docs_cn_pr.py to include changed_files in the PR payload so the apply script can resolve target docs.

This automates applying simple, heuristic doc notes from the weekly PR scan and generates a summary for maintainers to review.

Refactor the weekly doc-check workflow into a scan job that discovers candidate PRs and a downstream create-pr-per-source job that processes each candidate in parallel. The scan job now emits outputs (needs_update, candidates_count, candidates_matrix, paths, window dates) and uploads a JSON/report artifact; a TARGET_BRANCH_MAP env var is introduced to map source base branches to docs target branches. apply_weekly_docs_cn_updates.py was rewritten to apply updates for a single source PR, add a per-PR marker/note, and write an applied-<repo>-<pr>.json summary. check_tidb_prs_and_create_docs_cn_pr.py now accepts TARGET_BRANCH_MAP, records source_base_branch for PRs, builds a matrix of candidates, and writes candidates_count/candidates_matrix outputs for the workflow.
@hfxsd hfxsd requested a review from Oreoxmt May 6, 2026 08:40
Add an EXTRA_REPOS env var to the workflow and job so additional repos (default tikv/tikv,tikv/pd) can be passed into the doc-check job. Parse EXTRA_REPOS in the script and merge it into the list of source repositories, then remove any EXCLUDED_REPOS before returning the final sorted repo list. This allows including extra repositories in the weekly TiDB PR documentation checks.
