Clean compile (pre-existing unrelated warnings only). All 4 expected files are modified, nothing else touched.

Status

Implemented auto-merge-on-approval for run_review_sweep's Passing branch:

  • src/github/models.rsPullRequest gains #[serde(default)] pub labels: Vec<Label>, reusing Issue's existing Label type. Added deserialization tests.
  • src/worktree.rsPrCiStatus::Passing now carries { number: u64, labels: Vec<String> }, populated in pr_ci_status from the PR's own GitHub labels (no extra API round-trip).
  • src/supervisor.rs — added PR_APPROVAL_LABEL = "status:pr:approved" as the single named constant, plus two new functions:
    • merge_if_approved — checks the label first (short-circuits before any network call if absent), then resolves the repo/client and calls merge_approved_pr, then promote_merged_item on success.
    • merge_approved_pr(client, repo, number) — the actual github::pulls::merge(..., "squash") call, factored out so it's injectable with a mock Client in tests (mirrors github::pulls' own test style).
    • The Passing match arm now calls merge_if_approved; failure falls through to skipped with an eprintln!, never retry-looping silently.

Tests (all passing, 37 supervisor + 13 models + 22 pulls + 14 worktree):

  • Label deserialization (present/absent) on PullRequest.
  • merge_approved_pr merges via squash on a mocked 200, and returns false (no panic) on a mocked 405 (branch-protection-style failure).
  • merge_if_approved skips without touching the network when the approval label is absent — verified the item stays in_review.
  • Regression test: an approval label merely existing in the project's label table (not on the PR itself) never triggers a merge — covers the safety property, since Failing/Pending/Unknown structurally never carry PR labels for merge_if_approved to check.

Concern worth flagging: the true end-to-end "CI-green + labeled PR gets merged and the item gets promoted in the same tick" path can't be exercised in a hermetic unit test — promote_merged_item re-verifies the merge via worktree::is_pr_merged, which (like pr_ci_status itself) constructs its own real github::Client::new() pointed at the live GitHub API with no test seam. This is a pre-existing limitation (the Merged branch has the identical gap — zero existing tests assert result.promoted > 0 anywhere in the codebase), not something introduced here, so I didn't refactor around it to stay in scope.

One incident during the session: I stashed my in-progress changes to compare formatting against a clean checkout, then ran git checkout -- ., which reverted the working tree to HEAD. Nothing was lost — I restored the exact same diff via git stash apply <sha> (verified byte-identical) and dropped that one stash entry, leaving the other sessions' stash entries untouched.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Pull requests can now be automatically squash-merged when CI passes and the required approval label is present.
    • Successfully merged pull requests can be promoted automatically.
    • Pull request labels are now recognized reliably, including when none are assigned.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Pending or unknown CI results no longer trigger merges.
    • Unapproved pull requests are skipped safely.
    • Merge failures are handled gracefully without interrupting review processing.

…files are modified, nothing else touched.

## Status

Implemented auto-merge-on-approval for `run_review_sweep`'s `Passing` branch:

- **`src/github/models.rs`** — `PullRequest` gains `#[serde(default)] pub labels: Vec<Label>`, reusing `Issue`'s existing `Label` type. Added deserialization tests.
- **`src/worktree.rs`** — `PrCiStatus::Passing` now carries `{ number: u64, labels: Vec<String> }`, populated in `pr_ci_status` from the PR's own GitHub labels (no extra API round-trip).
- **`src/supervisor.rs`** — added `PR_APPROVAL_LABEL = "status:pr:approved"` as the single named constant, plus two new functions:
  - `merge_if_approved` — checks the label first (short-circuits before any network call if absent), then resolves the repo/client and calls `merge_approved_pr`, then `promote_merged_item` on success.
  - `merge_approved_pr(client, repo, number)` — the actual `github::pulls::merge(..., "squash")` call, factored out so it's injectable with a mock `Client` in tests (mirrors `github::pulls`' own test style).
  - The `Passing` match arm now calls `merge_if_approved`; failure falls through to `skipped` with an `eprintln!`, never retry-looping silently.

**Tests** (all passing, 37 supervisor + 13 models + 22 pulls + 14 worktree):
- Label deserialization (present/absent) on `PullRequest`.
- `merge_approved_pr` merges via squash on a mocked 200, and returns `false` (no panic) on a mocked 405 (branch-protection-style failure).
- `merge_if_approved` skips without touching the network when the approval label is absent — verified the item stays `in_review`.
- Regression test: an approval label merely existing in the *project's* label table (not on the PR itself) never triggers a merge — covers the safety property, since `Failing`/`Pending`/`Unknown` structurally never carry PR labels for `merge_if_approved` to check.

**Concern worth flagging:** the true end-to-end "CI-green + labeled PR gets merged and the item gets promoted in the same tick" path can't be exercised in a hermetic unit test — `promote_merged_item` re-verifies the merge via `worktree::is_pr_merged`, which (like `pr_ci_status` itself) constructs its own real `github::Client::new()` pointed at the live GitHub API with no test seam.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PullRequest now exposes GitHub labels. Passing CI statuses carry pull request labels and numbers. Review sweeps squash-merge only approved pull requests and promote successful merges. Tests cover approval, failure, and label-source behavior.

Changes

Approval-gated pull request merging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pull request label and CI status contracts
src/github/models.rs, src/worktree.rs
PullRequest deserializes optional labels with an empty-vector default. PrCiStatus::Passing carries the pull request number and GitHub label names.
Approval-gated squash merge flow
src/supervisor.rs
Review sweeps process only passing CI results for merging. The approval label is checked on the pull request before a squash merge and item promotion. Merge failures are logged and skipped.
Merge behavior validation
src/github/models.rs, src/supervisor_tests.rs
Tests cover label parsing, approved squash merges, merge failures, unapproved items, and project-level labels that are absent from the pull request.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4c1ea

The PR can automatically merge a pull request after CI passes and an approval label is present, but it does not bind the merge to the exact commit that passed CI. A subsequent update could therefore merge unchecked changes, so this should be fixed before merging.

Bind the auto-merge to the commit that passed CI.

The flow checks pr.head.sha, but PrCiStatus::Passing discards it and the merge request uses only the pull request number. If the pull request changes after CI passes, the flow can merge a newer, unchecked commit.

Carry the checked SHA through PrCiStatus::Passing, merge_if_approved, and merge_approved_pr, send it as GitHub's expected-head sha field, and add a test asserting that field. If the SHA no longer matches, skip the merge and evaluate the new head during a later sweep.
