Add ability for bot to skip a comment

[abuzarmahmood]

For the scenario where a comment is just a personal note and the user does not expect the bot to respond.
Could include something like [ blech_bot ignore ]

Summary of Suggestions and Changes

1. Identified Files for Modification:

   • triggers.py: Contains functions that check for specific triggers in issue comments. A new function should be added here to detect the [ blech_bot ignore ] pattern.
   • response_agent.py: Handles the processing logic for generating responses to GitHub issues. Logic should be modified to skip processing when the ignore pattern is detected.
   • git_utils.py: Contains utility functions for interacting with the GitHub API, including fetching comments. It should be ensured that the function retrieving comments supports the new trigger check.

2. Specific Changes Suggested:

   • Add Ignore Pattern Detection:

     • File: triggers.py
     • Line: After line 140
     • Description: Add a function to check if any comment contains the [ blech_bot ignore ] pattern.
     • Code Snippet:

       def has_ignore_comment(issue: Issue) -> bool:
           """
           Check if any comment contains the ignore pattern [ blech_bot ignore ]
       
           Args:
               issue: The GitHub issue to check
       
           Returns:
               True if the ignore pattern is found in any comment
           """
           comments = get_issue_comments(issue)
           return any("[ blech_bot ignore ]" in comment.body for comment in comments)

   • Modify Response Logic to Skip Ignored Comments:

     • File: response_agent.py
     • Line: Around line 1002
     • Description: Update the process_issue function to skip processing if the ignore pattern is detected.
     • Code Snippet:

       if triggers.has_ignore_comment(issue_or_pr):
           # This is a skip outcome, not an error
           return False, f"{entity_type} #{issue_or_pr.number} contains ignore pattern"

   • Ensure Comment Retrieval Supports New Trigger:

     • File: git_utils.py
     • Line: No specific changes needed as the get_issue_comments function already retrieves all comments.
     • Description: Ensure that the get_issue_comments function is used consistently to retrieve comments for trigger checks.

These changes will allow the bot to detect and skip comments containing the [ blech_bot ignore ] pattern, addressing the user's request effectively.
