Abstract

This replication package contains all data, scripts, notebooks, and documentation required to reproduce the empirical results presented in When Bots Get the Boot: Understanding PR Rejections in the Era of AI Coders, which investigates structural, process, and socio-technical signals associated with the rejection of agent-authored pull requests (APRs) from the AIDev dataset.The package includes a curated dataset of pull requests labeled by outcome (accepted vs. rejected), derived feature sets capturing code quality, design and architecture smells, collaboration dynamics, process history, and code complexity, as well as analysis scripts used to generate all tables, figures, and statistical tests reported in the paper.
