Report on Potential Issues and Corrections (Concise)
Introduction:

This report analyzes the provided screenshot of a GitHub Pull Request page and identifies potential errors and areas for improvement, aiming to clarify the information, enhance its completeness, and improve its overall quality for its intended purpose (e.g., documentation, communication with the development team).

Potential Issues:

Inconsistent Information:

Closed Status: The pull request is marked as "Closed," yet there's a comment indicating a CLA issue that needs resolution. This suggests a potential discrepancy between the status and the actual state of the pull request.
"0 commits" and "Files changed 0": The information displayed states "0 commits" and "Files changed 0." This is unusual for a pull request, especially one with a CLA issue, as it typically implies that no code changes were proposed. This warrants further investigation.
Unclear CLA Status:

"failed invocation of the CLA check": While the message mentions a "failed invocation of the CLA check," it lacks specific details. It's unclear what caused the failure or what steps the contributor needs to take to resolve it. The link provided ("View this failed invocation...") is not visible in the screenshot.
Missing Context:

Pull Request Title: The title "Patch Rewards Program submission for rs/cors#171 #8" is a bit convoluted. It might be clearer to have a more descriptive title that summarizes the proposed change.
Reviewers/Assignees/Labels/Projects/Milestone: All of these sections are empty ("No reviews," "No one assigned," etc.). This might be appropriate for a very early-stage pull request, but it would be beneficial to have more information as the review process progresses.
"Successfully merging this pull request may close these": This section is cut off, making it impossible to determine what issues or tasks might be closed by merging this pull request.
Minor Issues:

"copybara-service wants to merge 0 commits...": The wording could be slightly improved. Something like "The copybara-service is attempting to merge..." would be more natural.
Force-Pushed Information: While the information about force-pushing is relevant, it might be better placed in a less prominent position, as it's not directly related to the current issues.
Recommended Corrections:

Investigate Discrepancies:

Pull Request Status: Determine why the pull request is closed despite the unresolved CLA issue. If the CLA issue is the reason for closure, state that explicitly. If not, explain why it was closed.
"0 commits" and "Files changed 0": Investigate why this information is displayed as zero. If it's an error, correct it. If the pull request truly has no changes, clarify why it was submitted.
Clarify CLA Issue:

Provide CLA Details: Include more details about the CLA failure. Either directly provide the relevant information or ensure the "View this failed invocation..." link is visible and easily accessible.
Contributor Instructions: Add clear instructions for the contributor on how to resolve the CLA issue.
Provide More Context:

Refine Pull Request Title: Create a more descriptive and concise title that summarizes the proposed change.
Populate Review Sections: As the review progresses, populate the Reviewers, Assignees, Labels, Projects, and Milestone sections with relevant information.
Complete "Successfully merging..." Section: Ensure that the "Successfully merging this pull request may close these" section is fully visible and includes the relevant information.
Minor Improvements:

Rephrase Copybara Message: Rephrase the "copybara-service wants to merge..." message for better clarity.
Relocate Force-Pushed Information: Consider moving the force-pushed information to a less prominent position.
By implementing these recommendations, the quality and clarity of the pull request page can be significantly improved, facilitating better communication and a smoother review process.
