Fixes the merge half of #25160. A merged PR ended its watch with no message, so the agent that opened it never learned it had landed. A closed PR already wakes the thread; this does the same for a merge.

Also observed in production use on v0.1.7 (macOS, Claude Code provider): in one hour of server traces, 3 watches ended with reason merged and the owning threads received no message, while the same threads were woken for failed checks, passed checks and comments.
Not covered: the case where auto-settle removes the watch before the reactor reads the merge (#29896). That is a separate problem and is left for its own PR. Not tested against a live GitHub merge; the test uses the existing PullRequestService mock like its neighbours.
Door: two-way
Blast Radius: Watching threads only
An agent now receives one extra message when a watched PR merges. A thread that is settled still ends quietly, as before. Tooling that parses wake text could see a new message kind.

Verdict: Needs Human Approval
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Merged PRs now wake active watching threads and instruct the agent to finish cleanup, rather than stopping silently. Human confirmation is needed for this default change to automatic post-merge agent activity; settled threads remain silent.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
The pull request watch reactor now notifies eligible threads when a watched pull request is merged and ends the watch. It can handle a non-open detail result when activity reading fails, unless the failure is an interruption. Tests cover host reads, stored snapshots, and activity-read failure.

runtimeLayer.test.ts.Correction: the merged-snapshot nitpick was valid (the sweep ends a stored merged snapshot without a host read), and my earlier reply skipping it was wrong. Added a test in 6624df9b51: a stored merged snapshot, two sweeps, one notification, zero host reads.

Takeover fixup, pushed d6c24da0ed:
main with a merge commit, no rebase. The only conflict was in runtimeLayer.test.ts, where this PR's merge tests and main's new wake tests landed in the same spot. Both sets are kept.merged() failed before ended() ran, so the watch stayed on, while main always ended it. merged() now falls back to a silent record(target, null), the same way giveUp does.Verified: vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests). runtimeLayer.test.ts passes, 149 tests.
CodeRabbit on d6c24da0ed, not changed:
giveUp. A transient projection failure usually fails the fallback record too, since it reads the same projection, so the watch stays on and the next sweep retries it.Effect.fn span for merged: skipped. Its sibling closed and giveUp operations are arrows too.

Ran vp run dev for github/main (4c68fdcaa9) and then for this PR's head (d6c24da0ed), one at a time, each with a fresh database. In each one I added a local clone of pingdotgg/t3code as a project from the web UI (Playwright + Chrome). Then I sent a Claude Haiku 5.5 thread this message: call watch_pull_request for #34258, which was already merged before the thread was created. After that I waited for the reactor's 2-minute sweep.
main: the watch ends and the thread gets nothing.
| 1 | pull request watch ended { threadId: '8817e503-…', pullRequest: 'github.com/pingdotgg/t3code#34258', reason: 'merged', wakes: 0, reads: 0 } |
main: the merged watch ends and the thread gets no message
This PR: the sweep posts #34258: merged, stopped watching with the text "Pull request #34258 (…) was merged, so T3 Code stopped watching it. Finish any cleanup for it now." That starts a real Haiku turn, which replied as instructed.
| 1 | pull request watch ended { threadId: '792a2b03-…', pullRequest: 'github.com/pingdotgg/t3code#34258', reason: 'merged', wakes: 1, reads: 0 } |
PR head: the merged watch wakes the thread once and the agent answers
Nearby behavior on the PR head:
#32582: checks passed wake still arrived via a real GitHub read, and Haiku replied to it.readGroup sees state: merged). Both merge wakes above went through the stored-snapshot path (reads: 0), because the link sync records the merged snapshot before the first sweep. Exercising the host read needs a watched PR to merge for real. That also covers the case where the activity read fails, which I could not trigger here. The unit tests in runtimeLayer.test.ts cover both.
