What does "Discuss in chat" do?​

Four places in the product have a Discuss in chat button:

  • A pull request's linked-issue panel
  • An incident's detail page
  • A deployment's card panel
  • A scheduled check's report page

Clicking it opens a conversation already bound to that item. If ACE already has a thread going for it (an incident it is triaging, a PR it already reviewed, and so on), you land in that same conversation with its history. Otherwise a fresh one is created. Either way you go straight into /chat with that conversation open, and your question is added to the same thread ACE was already using for that item.

For a pull request, the conversation also shows a Conversation subject chip above the composer, pinning the PR as the subject of the whole conversation.

The attachment chip​

Whichever item the conversation is tied to shows up as a small pill-shaped chip (icon, short label, one-line description) attached to the relevant message in the thread. Clicking the chip opens a details panel with two tabs.

The Context tab​

The underlying details ACE has for that item:

  • Pull request: provider, state, author, source → target branch, files changed / additions / deletions, commit count, description.
  • Incident: severity, status, type, source, title, summary.
  • Deployment: status, source, workflow name, environment, when it occurred.
  • Scheduled check: severity, run status, headline or title, which check it was, when it ran.

The Analysis tab​

Whatever ACE has already produced for that item:

  • Pull request: its code-analysis report.
  • Deployment: its analysis report.
  • Scheduled check: the run's own report body (the analysis is the report).
  • Incident: ACE's latest diagnosis from the incident's own bound thread, fetched on demand.

If nothing is ready yet, you see "No analysis has been produced yet." while none exists, "Analysis in progress…" while ACE is still working, or an error message if it failed. A dot on the Analysis tab means something is ready to read. The panel also has a button to open the item at its source (for example "Open on GitHub").
