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 MatrixBot._answer_with_heartbeat, the if/elif at lines 167-170 has two branches with identical bodies (should_send = True), so the branching itself is redundant: only the combined condition matters, not which arm matched.

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 — Both the 'snippet changed' branch and the 'time-based resend' branch set should_send = True and do nothing else, so SonarQube flags the duplicate implementation. Collapsing the two conditions into a single boolean expression with or keeps the exact same truth table and behavior while removing the duplicate branch.

should_send = (snippet and snippet != last_note) or (
                    now - last_sent >= max(60.0, self._settings.thinking_interval_sec * 2)
                )
                if should_send:
