SonarQube reports python:S1871 in atlasbot/matrix/bot.py. The build is green; this is a standing finding, not a failure.

What is wrong

In the heartbeat() coroutine inside MatrixBot._answer_with_heartbeat, the if branch on line 168 and the elif branch on line 170 both execute the identical statement should_send = True. SonarQube's python:S1871 flags this because duplicated branch bodies obscure intent; the two conditions should be merged into one boolean expression.

Ariadne opened no pull request for it: no automated patch was possible for this finding.

Facts

gitea — Either merge this branch with the identical one on line "168" or change one of the implementations. (MAJOR, 10min estimated) (atlasbot/matrix/bot.py:170)

Suggested fix (not applied)

Hermes could not open a pull request for this, so the change below was not written, validated, or pushed anywhere. It is a starting point for whoever picks this up, not a reviewed patch.

atlasbot/matrix/bot.py — The if/elif chain sets should_send = True in both branches, which is the identical-branch pattern S1871 objects to. Merging the two conditions with or preserves the exact short-circuit semantics (the recency check is only evaluated when the note is unchanged) while eliminating the duplicate body. bool(...) keeps should_send a proper bool even when snippet is an empty string.

should_send = bool(snippet and snippet != last_note) or (
                    now - last_sent >= max(60.0, self._settings.thinking_interval_sec * 2)
                )
                if should_send:
                    msg = f"Still thinking — {snippet}…"
                    await self._client.send_message(token, room_id, msg)
                    last_note = snippet
                    last_sent = now
