Every blog post shows who reviewed it, taken from whoever approved the original PR.

Blog only, not docs.

Changes

  • Backfilled 73 existing posts with reviewed_by frontmatter
  • Added plugins/plugin-blog-reviewers.js, which resolves the reviewer during the build for any post without one
  • Names come from src/data/reviewers.json, linked to their GitHub profile
  • Six pre-2025 posts have no PR, so they render without the line

Results

Test Result
Build with no token Passes, 73 credited
reviewed_by deleted from a post, local Resolved from GitHub, rendered identically
Same, deployed to the Vercel preview Resolved, verified live
Shallow clone Resolves correctly
No .git directory at all Resolves correctly
GitHub API unreachable Build passes, that post renders without the line
Frontmatter vs build lookup Frontmatter wins

Sitemap unchanged, blog-lastmod.js reads last_update.date from frontmatter not git.

Worth a reviewer's attention

Two bugs were caught by testing on the preview rather than locally, both now fixed.

The first read local git history. Vercel clones shallow, so every old post looked like it was added by the graft commit and inherited an unrelated PR number. It credited the wrong person on a 2025 post. Resolution now goes through the GitHub API and also checks the PR actually touched the file.

The second was that the same git dependency resolved nothing at all on Vercel, so a new post would have shipped with no reviewer while passing every local test.

Not covered

  • One 2023 post has the commit message blog article #4, which is a numbering not a PR reference, so it renders without a reviewer
  • Resolution runs unauthenticated. It works, but set GITHUB_TOKEN in Vercel if rate limits ever bite

Linear: GTM-4325

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Blog posts now display a “Reviewed by” attribution with a link to the reviewer’s GitHub profile.
    • Reviewer display names are shown where available, with a fallback to the reviewer handle.
    • Existing review metadata is supported across historical and newly published posts.
  • Documentation

    • Added review attribution metadata to numerous blog posts for improved content transparency.

Render a "Reviewed by" line under the author byline on blog post pages,
driven by a `reviewed_by` frontmatter handle and linking to the reviewer's
GitHub profile.

Display names come from src/data/reviewers.json and fall back to the raw
handle, so a missing entry is visible rather than dropping the credit.
Posts without the field render nothing.

The credit sits on its own line because the author meta line already wraps
to two lines at 375px.

Stamp `reviewed_by` into 73 existing posts, resolved by finding each post's
adding commit, reading the PR number from its subject, and taking the
non-bot APPROVED review.

Six pre-2025 posts were pushed straight to main with no PR, so they have no
reviewer to credit and are left without the field.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
On a human approval of a PR touching blog/, record the approver in
`reviewed_by` and push to the PR branch, so the credit lands before merge
rather than as a bot commit on main.

Posts that already carry the field keep their original reviewer. Bot
approvals and fork branches are skipped.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add a per-PR concurrency group so two approvals landing at once cannot
  both stamp from the same base commit and reject each other's push.
- Pass the approver through env instead of interpolating the Actions
  expression into the shell command.
- Drop the GITHUB_OUTPUT write, which no step consumed.
- Look up reviewer names as own properties: `constructor` and `toString`
  are valid GitHub logins and would otherwise render a function.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds reviewed_by metadata to blog posts, a backfill script, GitHub-based reviewer resolution, reviewer display-name mappings, Docusaurus wiring, and blog-header rendering.

Changes

Reviewer attribution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reviewer metadata and display mapping
blog/*, src/data/reviewers.json
Blog frontmatter now contains reviewer handles. A mapping provides display names for 13 handles.
Historical reviewer backfill
scripts/backfill-reviewed-by.js
The script finds introducing commits, retrieves paginated GitHub reviews, selects the first human approval, updates frontmatter, and reports results.
Build-time reviewer resolution
plugins/plugin-blog-reviewers.js, docusaurus.config.js
The plugin uses paginated GitHub history and review APIs, verifies PR file changes, and publishes reviewer data keyed by blog route.
Reviewer display in blog headers
src/theme/BlogPostItem/Header/index.js, src/theme/BlogPostItem/Header/styles.module.css
The header prioritizes frontmatter data, falls back to build-time data, maps display names, and renders a themed GitHub-linked “Reviewed by” line.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b737a

Reviewer attribution can be omitted for posts without explicit slug frontmatter, while an unresponsive GitHub request can delay the build indefinitely. These bounded production risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

I don't know yaml too well but based on how this looks it seems as though it's going to auto add the info after approval which I feel like could have some issues (e.g what happens if automerge is on, not sure myself but I'd imagine something strange would happen).

Also feel like generally editing things post approval to be merged doesn't really sound like the best idea, might make more sense to just pre add the approver and then ask them to review it

You were right, and it was worse than a maybe. This repo has allow_auto_merge and delete_branch_on_merge both on, so the approval that triggered the action was the same event that merged the PR and deleted the branch. The action would have been pushing to a branch that no longer existed and the post would have shipped with no reviewer.

Dropped the action entirely. The reviewer is now worked out during the build instead, so nothing is written back and nothing touches the branch after you approve. Merge the post and the next build credits whoever approved it.

Testing it on the preview caught two more things worth knowing about. Reading local git history did not work on Vercel because it clones shallow, and it silently attributed an old post to the wrong person. It now asks the GitHub API instead and checks the PR actually touched the file, so a bad match gives no name rather than the wrong one.

One thing to expect, the credit will not show on this PR preview, only after merge.

Replaces the approval-time action, which raced with auto-merge. The repo has
allow_auto_merge and delete_branch_on_merge both on, so an approval could merge
the PR and delete the branch before the action pushed, shipping the post with
no reviewer.

plugins/plugin-blog-reviewers.js looks up the approver during the build for any
post without `reviewed_by` frontmatter. Nothing is written back and nothing
touches the branch after approval.

Also removes the screenshots from the repo.

A shallow clone makes every pre-boundary post look like it was added by the
graft commit, whose subject carries an unrelated PR number. On the Vercel
preview this credited Jordyn as the reviewer of a 2025 post she did not review.

The lookup now deepens a shallow clone before reading history, skips entirely
if it cannot, and verifies the resolved PR actually touched the file.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`gh api --paginate` emits one array per page, so JSON.parse rejected a
multi-page result and the PR was reported unresolved. Adds --slurp and
flattens. The build-time lookup now pages through reviews too, since the
approval is usually the last one on a busy PR.

…on Vercel

Reverted in the next commit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The build-time lookup read local git history, which Vercel does not have in a
usable form. On the preview the lookup silently resolved nothing, so a new post
would have shipped with no reviewer.

Asks GitHub which commits touched the file instead, so the result no longer
depends on clone depth or on git being present at all.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The build-time lookup was verified on the Vercel preview, so the temporary

Both fair. Dropped the ||, and the repo override next to it, it was only there while I was testing. Now just process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN.

On whether it is set in Vercel, it is not. The lookup runs unauthenticated today, which is how the preview resolved your name on the July post. Unauthenticated calls share a 60 per hour limit per IP and a new post costs about three, so it works but it is the one soft spot. I do not have Vercel access to add it. If you or whoever owns the project wants to set GITHUB_TOKEN it removes the concern entirely, otherwise leaving it is fine.

Either way the failure mode is a missing name, never a wrong one, and resolution reruns on every build so a post that misses fills itself in on the next deploy.

Any chance you could add it? I do not have Vercel access. A read only token is enough, it just needs to be called GITHUB_TOKEN on the project.

That way the reference stops being dead config, which was your point, and the rate limit worry goes with it. Happy to merge without it if you would rather not, it works either way.

GH_TOKEN only exists when the gh CLI sets it locally, and the repo override
was only used while testing. Neither applies to a Vercel build.

fetch has no default timeout, so a stalled response would have held up the
build indefinitely. Each call now aborts after ten seconds and lands in the
existing catch, leaving that post without a reviewer.
