ci: listen on merge_group + document merge-queue plan#41
Merged
Conversation
Add `merge_group:` event to the `on:` block of both required workflows (`gate.yml`, `codeql.yml`) as a hard prerequisite for enabling GitHub's merge queue on `main`. Without this trigger, the required checks never run on the queue's merge-group branch and merges deadlock. Capture Aaron's 2026-04-22 merge-queue insight in §10 of `docs/research/parallel-worktree-safety-2026-04-22.md`: pre-open rebase-cost self-questioning discipline (§10.1), merge queue + auto-merge as structural fix that largely replaces it (§10.2), direct-admin enable path replacing the planned HB-001 (§10.3), and §4 staging revision (§10.5) folding the enable into R45. This PR lands only the workflow trigger change and the research doc; the merge-queue ruleset itself is enabled via GitHub API after this PR merges, so the merge-group trigger is already on `main` before the queue can activate.

Two rows in the hazard-to-fix mapping table were missing their "Still required separately" cell; markdownlint (MD056) rightly flagged them. Fill with accurate content (stale-branch audit continues; bouncing-between-PRs dance has no residual work). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| **PR #31 disposition.** This tick did not force-merge PR #31 — the agent-merges-own-PRs directive is scoped to green / no-unresolved-findings state, and #31 has 8 Copilot findings + 5 conflicts + unclear subsumption by #32's scope. The harness permission layer correctly refused the merge flow mid-resolution, flagging it as a shared-repo-state modification requiring precise authorization for this specific PR. Disposition is an Aaron-scoped decision (flagged in the PR's own classification comment: *"does #31 merge as a smaller slice, or close in favour of #32?"*). The stash-and-revisit pattern from §2.4 (stale-branch cleanup preventive+compensating) applies. | ||
|
|
||
| The live-lock-between-PRs risk Aaron flagged is *not* structural between PR #31 and PR #32 specifically — it's the general class. If PR #31 and PR #32 both touch `docs/BACKLOG.md` (likely, given BACKLOG.md is the busiest file in the repo), merging PR #32 first means PR #31 needs a rebase; rebasing after PR #32's markdownlint-fix touches BACKLOG.md may or may not conflict. **Action deferred to Aaron** — pushing or merging either PR without his sign-off during map-before-walk is wrong. | ||

Aaron clarified the situation across four messages on 2026-04-21: 1. "we can move tih to https://github.com/Lucent-Financial-Group at some point it's my org for LFG" 2. "we need to move it to lucent for contributor at some point anyways, we want to keep all the settings we have now" 3. "i think we are going to have to go without merge queue parallelism for now" 4. "we can just make it public from the start" That shifts HB-001's ask and the research-doc record. The REST-API failure for the `merge_queue` ruleset was not a public-beta wobble as initially assumed. `gh api /users/AceHack --jq '.type'` returns `"User"`. Per GitHub platform rules, merge queue is an organization-only feature, regardless of plan tier or public/private status. User-owned repos cannot enable it through any surface — UI, REST API, or anything else. The `422 Invalid rule 'merge_queue':` empty-body response was the platform gate. Changes: 1. `docs/HUMAN-BACKLOG.md` — HB-001 reshaped from an admin-toggle ask (now impossible) to a durable org-migration ask: `AceHack/Zeta` -> `Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta` with the two Aaron-specified constraints (preserve all current settings; public from the start) and no deadline ("at some point"). Interim policy is explicit: skip merge-queue parallelism, accept rebase-tax, rely on `gh pr merge --auto --squash` alone. 2. `docs/research/parallel-worktree-safety-2026-04-22.md` §10.3 — rewritten to record the platform-gate diagnosis (including the `gh api /users/AceHack --jq '.type'` signal), the resolution path through HB-001, and the interim accept- rebase-tax policy. The `merge_group:` trigger landed via PR #41 is noted as harmless-when-off, ready-when-org-migrates. This keeps the research doc as honest current state per GOVERNANCE.md §2 (docs read as current state, not history) and keeps HB-001 aligned with what Aaron actually needs to do.

…gotcha (#50) Two changes, one PR (causally linked via this session's fork-PR test run): 1. FACTORY-HYGIENE row #41 + BACKLOG P1 row — cadenced audit (every 5-10 rounds) that sweeps the factory's classification axes for overlap. Distinct from row 22 (symmetry): symmetry asks "is A paired with its mirror B?"; orthogonality asks "do axes A and B have zero overlap?" Triggered by Aaron 2026-04-22: "also we need to make sure all our axises are orthogaonal to the others so therre is not overlap, like fully ... the set of axes is called an orthogonal basis" + "i guess this is a cadence thing" + "backlog". Durable rule in feedback_orthogonal_axes_factory_hygiene.md (memory-only, not in repo). 2. fork-pr-workflow skill — document the "-1 suffix" gotcha that `gh repo fork` produces when the forker's namespace has a redirect record blocking the target name (common after transferring a repo away and then forking it back). Surfaced during this session when forking Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta back to AceHack — the forked repo landed at AceHack/Zeta-1 because AceHack/Zeta still redirected to LFG/Zeta post-transfer. Recovery is `gh repo rename --repo <you>/<repo>-1 <repo>` (the forker owns the redirect record and can override it). Added as a subsection under "Initial setup".

…ment-based review cadence) (#217) Human maintainer 2026-04-23 Otto-58 named a NEW hygiene class distinct from the ~57 mechanically-verifiable FACTORY-HYGIENE rows: "agents review hygene on a cadence for a specific type of thing, this one is look for generalization opportunities in the code, for example the docker for reproducability for multi agent review can be generalize to everyting in the project, all applieas to code skills docs everyting" "backlog" Key insight: existing FACTORY-HYGIENE rows check "did we do X?" (mechanical, binary). This class asks "are we applying principle P wherever P applies?" (judgment, scope-extension). Complementary, not duplicative. BACKLOG row filed under new P1 section "Principle-adherence review cadence (Otto-58 new hygiene class)". M effort. Worked example: Docker-for-reproducibility (currently scoped to multi-agent peer-review per Otto-55/57) generalizes to devcontainer, per-sample Dockerfile, benchmark-harness containers, Craft module build envs, CI image pinning. Review emits these as BACKLOG candidates; per-candidate ROI decides which to implement. First-pass principle catalogue (12 principles): git-native/in-repo- first/samples-vs-production/applied-default/honest-about-error/ Codex-as-reviewer/detect-first/honor-those-before/Docker-repro/ CLI-first/trust-approval/split-attention. Protocol shape: 1. Define principle (1 sentence + memory citation) 2. Current scope (1-2 concrete examples) 3. Bounded sweep (N minutes, top-K candidates) 4. Emit per-candidate BACKLOG rows 5. ROUND-HISTORY row noting the review Cadence: every 10-20 rounds per principle; sharded across agents by principle class; first-pass triggered by principle-introduction events. Classification (row #50): detection-only-justified — generalization opportunities are inherently post-hoc. Composes with row #23 (missing-class) + #22 (symmetry) + #41 (orthogonal- axes) as judgment-based meta-audit triad/quad.

If the merge-queue ruleset is enabled before the required workflows listen to
merge_groupevents, every merge deadlocks — the queue creates a merge-group branch, runs required checks, and the checks never fire. This PR lands the trigger first so the queue is safe to enable immediately after.Follow-up (same tick, after this merges)
