DevIndex: Blacklist identified bots from failed.json

Closed v12.0.0 bugai

The recent cleanup run identified several users in the "Penalty Box" (failed.json) that are clearly bots or service accounts. These should be moved to the blacklist.json to prevent further processing attempts.

Identified Bots:

  • brewtestbot (Homebrew testing bot)
  • codacy-badger (Codacy service account)
  • weblate (Translation service bot)

Under Consideration:

  • bitdeli-chef (Likely a service account for Bitdeli, given the name structure and association with analytics/tracking repositories. Recommend verifying if it acts as a human contributor or purely automated).

Tasks:

  1. Add the confirmed bots to apps/devindex/resources/blacklist.json.
  2. Remove them from apps/devindex/resources/failed.json.
  3. Run cleanup to confirm they are pruned from the system.

Input from Gemini 3 Pro:

✦ I have moved the identified bots (brewtestbot, codacy-badger, weblate) from failed.json to blacklist.json. Running cleanup confirmed that these 3 users were successfully purged from tracker.json (Count dropped by 3). bitdeli-chef remains in failed.json for now as requested.
