 """Extract changed-file list from Gitea Compare API JSON response.
 
-Gitea Compare API returns changed files nested inside commits, not at the
-top level:
+The Gitea Compare API (`/repos/{owner}/{repo}/compare/{base}...{head}`)
+historically returned changed files nested inside each commit:
     {"commits": [{"files": [{"filename": "path/to/file"}]}]}
 
+Newer Gitea versions (and the `...` branch-to-branch shape) ALSO
+populate a top-level `files` array:
+    {"files": [{"filename": "path/to/file"}], "commits": [...]}
+
+This script handles BOTH shapes defensively: it checks the top-level
+`files` first, then falls back to per-commit `files` extraction. This
+matters because a regression that only checked one shape would silently
+return an empty list and cause the harness-replays detect-changes step
+to set `run=false` even on a PR that touches the path filter — a
+false-green gate (the symptom that surfaced as core#2821 RC #11590 +
+CR2 RC #11597 "detect-changes-actually-run").
+
+SRE verification (2026-05-11, 751c98ce) saw `commits[0]['files']`
+populated for the branch-to-branch Compare API. We preserve that
+extraction path AND add the top-level `files` extraction so the
+script doesn't break if a future Gitea version only populates one
+of the two locations.
+

-# This replay proves two things, separately:

-#       /registry/<unregistered>/peers returns 404. If this regresses
-#       (e.g. tenant starts returning 200 with empty list, or 500),
-#       the runtime helper would parse it differently and the agent
-#       would see a different diagnostic. The harness catches that here.
-#   (b) PARSE: the runtime helper, given a 404, produces a diagnostic
-#       containing "404" + "register" hints. Done in unit tests against
-#       a mock httpx response (test_a2a_client.py::TestGetPeersWithDiagnostic
-#       — the harness re-asserts the same contract here against a real

-# Why split the assertion: the Python eval here doesn't have the
