Problem
The agent repo lab found that docs/tests/config-like files can still appear with risk wording. They should remain visible for auditability, but they should not create action-required pressure unless the repo explicitly configures them as runtime prompt, scenario, or agent input.
Evidence from tested repos
From .agentdiff/agent-repo-lab/latest/report.md:
vercel-labs/lead-agent: README.md was flagged as agent_entrypoint/docs_example with state_mutation and external_side_effect risk wording.
This is useful as a noise signal for agentdiff. It is not a claim that the external repo has a bug or vulnerability.
Proposed fix
Further downrank docs/tests/config findings by default:
- Keep them visible in reports.
- Prefer informational language for docs/examples/tests/config unless reachable from runtime agent code or explicitly configured.
- Preserve suppression suggestions with
reason and expires.
- Avoid action-required severity for README/docs-only agent vocabulary unless stronger runtime evidence exists.
Acceptance criteria
npm test passes.
npm run lab:agent-repos still has 0 crashes.
- The cited
vercel-labs/lead-agent README-style finding is lower pressure or clearly informational.
- Suppressed/low-confidence findings remain visible; they do not disappear silently.
- Runtime reachable high-risk tools are not downranked accidentally.
Non-goals
- Do not delete docs/test/config findings entirely.
- Do not add a complex suppression expression language.
- Do not accuse external repos of unsafe behavior.
- Do not require installs, API keys, or live model calls.
