Meeting

Date: July 21, 2026
Attendees:

• Saksham Mishra
• Kaushlendra Pratap
• Shaheem Azmal M MD

Absentees:

• Sushant Kumar

Summary

1. Shaheem reviewed PR #3717 and provided feedback on the overall design of the Reuse compare feature.
2. Suggested minor changes — pagination, status display, and some UI adjustments.
3. Also tested PR #3676 and discussed the current auto-select approach.
4. Decided to move the auto-select search logic from the Reuser agent to the UI, so the user can see which upload is being selected before triggering reuse.
5. Agreed to add an option in Admin → Customize for users to control whether auto-select runs automatically when the Reuser is selected.

Progress

• PR #3717 refinements: Worked on leftover items from the PR — addressed review comments and minor fixes.
• Table style consistency: Applied the same table style used across FOSSology to the Reuse compare view for visual consistency.
• Hunk header parsing: Fixed the parsing logic for hunk headers (the @@ lines in diff -u output) to produce accurate file differences.
• File diff view cleanup: Removed the "Modified" (yellow) line state from the file diff view — users don't benefit from seeing entire modified lines when only the added/deleted content is meaningful for comparison.
