From 779fe09ab75272cc07f3917af495d3b658b50dda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lior Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 10:18:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] =?UTF-8?q?feat(B-0858.4):=20merge-heartbeats-to-main?= =?UTF-8?q?=20tool=20=E2=80=94=20periodic=20squash-merge=20from=20agent-he?= =?UTF-8?q?artbeats=20=E2=86=92=20main=20(Aaron=202026-05-27=20"merge=20ba?= =?UTF-8?q?ck=20to=20main=20every=20now=20and=20then;=20no=20conflicts")?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Operator 2026-05-27: "we can merge it back to main every now and then too there will be no conflicts" + follow-up: "small price to pay for batch merges of heartbeats from time to time" (PR queue cost is one entry per merge cycle, not per heartbeat). Heartbeats live ONLY at docs/agent-heartbeats//YYYY/MM/DD/ .md paths — other repo work touches different paths; ZetaID-unique filenames prevent internal conflicts. The merge is conflict-free by construction. Direct REST POST /merges returns 409 because main is PR-gated by Review Policy ruleset (pull_request + required_status_checks). Tool pivots to PR-based path: 1. GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/compare/main...agent-heartbeats → check status (identical/behind = up-to-date; ahead/diverged = merge needed) 2. If up-to-date: exit 4 with "up-to-date" message (no PR opened) 3. Otherwise: POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls (create PR head→base) 4. gh pr merge --auto --squash (arm auto-merge, squash strategy) Squash strategy preserves linear history on main (one squashed commit per merge cycle); satisfies Branch Safety ruleset's required_linear_history rule. **Empirical end-to-end test** (this session): tool opened PR #5470 heartbeat sync to main with auto-merge armed; will fire when CI passes. **Test coverage** (5 unit tests): - parseArgs defaults + env-var override + CLI override + invalid repo + unknown flag (REST POST + compare endpoints not unit-tested; requires gh auth + network; dogfooded extensively this session via PR #5470.) **Usage**: ./tools/agent-heartbeats/merge-heartbeats-to-main.ts # default bun tools/agent-heartbeats/merge-heartbeats-to-main.ts --dry-run Stupid-simple zero-param defaults (per B-0858.3 discipline): - repo: Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta - head: agent-heartbeats (env: ZETA_AGENT_BRANCH) - base: main Exit codes: 0 PR opened+armed | 2 arg-parse error | 3 PR-create or arm-auto-merge failed | 4 up-to-date (no new heartbeats since last merge).

Header doc inaccuracy (Copilot @33)** Header claimed REST /pulls/{N}/merge but implementation uses `gh pr merge --auto --squash`. Fixed header "Composes:" block to list the actual composition (compare for up-to-date check + REST POST /pulls for creation + gh pr merge for arming auto-merge). **2. gh() silent on spawnSync launch failures (Copilot @75)** spawnSync sets result.error (not stderr) when launch fails — e.g., `gh` not on PATH. Original gh() returned {status: -1, stderr: ""} producing unhelpful empty-message errors. Fixed: gh() now checks result.error and produces "gh CLI launch failed: (is gh installed + on PATH?)" stderr. **3. openMergePR brittle on duplicate PR (Copilot @109)** GitHub returns 422 "A pull request already exists for ..." when re-running with an existing open PR head→base. Fixed with new findExistingPR helper that queries `pulls?state=open&head=...&base=...` first; if existing PR found, re-use it (re-arm auto-merge); otherwise create new. Idempotent — periodic cron re-runs work without 422 failure. Output distinguishes "opened" vs "re-used" + "auto-merge re-armed". **4. Tests don't cover isUpToDate + openMergePR (Copilot @5 on test file)** Network-dependent functions inherently hard to unit test (need gh auth + live API). Empirically validated through dogfood (PR #5470 created via this tool). Future B-0858.5 row may add integration- test scope. Per .claude/rules/blocked-green-ci-investigate-threads.md verify-then-fix: each Copilot finding addressed in single fix-pass; idempotency issue (#3) is operationally important because operator-named goal is periodic/cron invocation. Operator forward-looking context (this commit batch + future B-0858.5): "over time we can start adding automated observations about current state to the heartbeat that it automatily gathers before pushing" + "heartbeats also become debug logs once we have current state attached". Captured in upcoming B-0858.5 row.
