Description

agents/build-repair/hackbot_agents/build_repair/resolve.py and agents/test-repair/hackbot_agents/test_repair/resolve.py each independently hardcode an identical branch-to-repo-path map (autoland, mozilla-central, try, etc.) plus Taskcluster/Lando/hg URLs, and agents/test-repair/hackbot_agents/test_repair/notify.py hardcodes a GitHub commit URL template. Every agent's hackbot.toml also hardcodes repo_url.

Look these up from Phabricator's own repository configuration instead (see for example https://phabricator-dev.allizom.org/source/ff-test-autoland-dev/manage/uris/), so branch names always match what is actually configured on Phabricator rather than a second hardcoded copy.

Research direction

Start by comparing the duplicated mappings and URLs in agents/build-repair/hackbot_agents/build_repair/resolve.py, agents/test-repair/hackbot_agents/test_repair/resolve.py, and agents/test-repair/hackbot_agents/test_repair/notify.py, along with each agent's hackbot.toml. Read the referenced Phabricator repository URI configuration first. Done means these values are resolved from Phabricator rather than maintained as duplicate hardcoded mappings or templates.
