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's heartbeat() closure, the if snippet and snippet != last_note: branch (line 168) and the elif now - last_sent >= max(60.0, self._settings.thinking_interval_sec * 2): branch (line 170) both execute the identical statement should_send = True, so the branch structure adds no differentiation and should be collapsed into one condition.

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 conditions lead to the same outcome (should_send = True), which is exactly what S1871 flags. Combining them with or into a single if-statement keeps the truth table identical (should_send is True whenever either condition holds, False otherwise) while removing the duplicated branch body.

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