Problem

A watched PR that merged cleared its watch without notifying the agent. This happened both when the watcher read the merged state from the forge and when another sync had already saved it. Default automatic settlement could also clear the watch before its merge notification.

Change

Send one merge notification while clearing the watch in the existing atomic orchestration command. Defer merge-triggered automatic settlement while any linked merged PR still has an active watch, including threads linked to several PRs. Once the wake is recorded, normal queued-run and completion handling allows settlement.

Scope and approval

Fixes #25160

Triaged bug via the automated issue flow: #25160. Focused server fix using existing watch, notification and settlement state.

Verification

• Red first: both merge paths cleared the watch but recorded zero notifications; both regression cases failed.
• Green: isolated real orchestration with in-memory SQLite records exactly one merged monitor notification across three sweeps, retains the PR link and clears the watch. The snapshot path makes zero forge reads.
• Settlement red/green logs and replay sources. Settlement regression fails before the guard and passes after it; covers watched, ended and unwatched merges, plus later closed/merged links in multi-PR threads.
• Focused settlement and watch suites: 149 tests passed. Changed-file checks pass.
• Runtime transcript and replay sources/loader.

Server-only change; visual fixture matrix is empty. The replay controls external forge responses and proves persisted notification behavior, not live provider receipt or a real merge-queue landing. No PR was merged or watched during verification.

Models: GPT-6.1-Sol through Codex and Claude Opus 5.5 through Claude Agent in T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 44528c5

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This focused server bug fix ensures watched pull requests emit one merge notification and wake the agent before automatic settlement can clear the thread. It updates existing orchestration paths and adds targeted coverage for both merge-detection paths and repeated sweeps.

Walkthrough

Merged pull-request watches now produce a merge notification when they end. Auto-settlement based on a linked pull request waits while a merged pull request remains watched. Tests cover both merge-detection paths and settlement after a watch ends.

The agent can be notified of a merge while the thread’s saved pull-request state still appears open, delaying automatic merge settlement. Ensure that the host-read path refreshes or persists the merged link before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(server): wake agents when watched pull requests merge" matches the main change. The PR sends a merge notification when a watched PR merges, including the snapshot path, and defers merge-triggered settlement while a merged PR still has an active watch. The title is conventional, specific, and names the primary behavior change. It does not mention the settlement deferral, which is a secondary part of the fix.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. The Problem and Change sections clearly describe the bug and the fix. The Scope section links issue #25160 and states that the fix is a focused server change. The Verification section lists red/green test results, the test count, and the limits of the replay testing. The description has no conventional commit title and does not mention the model or harness, but the template asks for the model at the end only when an agent was used, and the author does list the models. Those gaps are minor. The description is mostly complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #25160 requires a one-time wake when a watched pull request merges or closes and requires the watch to end without silent loss of the event. The new merged path records one monitor notification, clears the watch, and records the wake for both host-read and synchronized-snapshot paths. The existing closed path already records the corresponding notification and wake. resolveAutoSettlementAt now defers merge settlement while any linked merged pull request still has an active watch, including multi-link threads. Focused tests cover notification deduplication and watched, ended, and unwatched settlement states.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to pull-request watch handling, merge settlement ordering, and regression tests for those behaviors. The reactor change supports the notification and watch-lifecycle objective. The settlement change supports wake-before-settlement ordering. No unrelated production behavior or unrelated test area is changed.

Refresh an open link when a host-read merge ends its watch.

When the persisted snapshot is still open, the merge path clears the watch and records a wake without dispatching thread.pull-request-link.sync. Settlement excludes visible links from host lookup, and the sync reactor requests refreshes for null snapshots, not open snapshots. Trigger a link sync for this path or persist the merged snapshot before clearing the watch.
