User description

Removes Mergify approval and reviewer-completion predicates from the merge path while retaining configured CI, conflict, PR-only, and squash safeguards. Reviewer requests remain notification-only.\n\nLocal evidence: YAML parse; policy invariant red-green check; diff whitespace check.\n\nNo paid runner or paid review service used.


CodeAnt-AI Description

Enable CI-only automatic merging for pull requests

What Changed

  • Pull requests can now merge automatically after all configured CI checks pass, without requiring human approval or reviewer completion
  • Conflict, open-pull-request, squash, labeling, and existing CI safeguards remain in place
  • Reviewer notifications remain informational and no longer block merging or the ready-to-merge label

Impact

✅ Faster pull request integration
✅ Fewer merges blocked by pending human review
✅ CI and conflict safeguards retained

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 40ad8

Automatic merging will no longer wait for human approval, but the ready-to-merge configuration may reference CI check names that do not match the checks produced by the repository, so the label or related automation may fail to activate. This is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and confirmation or correction of the configured check names.

Use the emitted check names for ready-to-merge

Mergify matches bare check-success values by exact check name. .github/workflows/ci.yml emits ci / lint and ci / test, but this rule requires ci, lint, and test. The label can therefore remain unset. Use the exact emitted names and remove or provide the missing ci check.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the red assertion fail for the intended reason.

Step 1 searches for Auto-merge when CI green before Step 2 renames the rule. On the current configuration, Line 29 raises merge rule missing, so the assertion never reaches Line 31 to detect #review-requested=0. Accept both the old and new rule names so the same command fails before the edit and passes after it.

Proposed lookup
- merge = rules.find { |rule| rule.fetch("name") == "Auto-merge when CI green" }
+ merge = rules.find do |rule|
+   ["Auto-merge when approved + CI green", "Auto-merge when CI green"].include?(rule.fetch("name"))
+ end

Assert every retained merge safeguard.

The validation omits check-success=typecheck, -closed, and actions.merge.method == "squash". A later edit could remove any of these protections while the validation still passes. Add assertions for all safeguards documented by the plan.
