Problem

When an agent watches a PR with watch_pull_request and the PR merges, T3 Code ends the watch without telling the agent. A closed PR wakes the agent with "was closed, so T3 Code stopped watching it", but a merged one ends silently. An agent babysitting a PR that someone else merges, or that auto-merge lands, never gets a turn to confirm the merge, clean up, or report back.

Change

  • A merged PR now wakes the agent the same way a closed one does: "Pull request #N (url) was merged, so T3 Code stopped watching it." The notification summary is "#N: merged, stopped watching". The close and merge wakes share one helper.
  • The wake fires on both paths that end a watch on merge. One is a host read that returns merged. The other is the sweep finding merged on the link snapshot before any read, which is the usual path because the sync reactor tends to record the merge first.
  • endsWithoutRead now checks settled and subagent threads before merged. The orchestrator refuses wakes on those threads, and a refused command would leave the watch in place.

Auto-settle on merge is unchanged. If settlement runs first, the watch ends as settled with no wake. If the wake runs first, the agent's turn runs and settlement follows, the same as a closed PR today.

Scope and approval

There is no issue or discussion for this. The original watch PR (#15057) says watching ends when the PR merges or closes, and #16208 added the wake for a closed PR because it can reopen. Neither says whether the agent should hear about a merge, so the silent end may be a gap or a deliberate choice. If ending silently on merge is what the watcher is meant to do, please close this PR. If the merge wake is useful but shouldn't be the default, it could be opt-in instead, for example as an option on watch_pull_request. I can rework it that way.

Verification

  • A new runtimeLayer.test.ts case has three rows: closed seen by a host read, merged seen by a host read, and merged seen on the link snapshot. On main both merged rows fail with no wake and the closed row passes. With this change all three pass.
  • runtimeLayer.test.ts, pullRequestWatch.test.ts, and pullRequests/handlers.test.ts pass (165 tests).
  • vp run check:changed passes.
  • Not checked: a real merge in a running app. I also didn't run the mcp-tool-use evals, because no eval case covers watch wake text.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at b7063c4

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Watched PRs now notify the agent when they merge instead of silently ending the watch. The change uses existing queued notifications and preserves guards against waking inactive threads or stale watches.

Walkthrough

Closed and merged pull requests now share a completion path that sends a notification and wakes the agent. The reactor checks settled and subagent conditions before merged state, and tests cover closed and merged watch cleanup.

Changes: Pull request watch completion

Layer / File(s)Summary
Handle closed and merged watch states
apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/PullRequestWatchReactor.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts		The reactor routes closed and merged pull requests through finished, which sends a notification and wakes the agent. Closed notifications include a reopen instruction. Settled and subagent conditions take precedence over merged state. Tests cover detail reads for closed and merged states, and synced snapshots for merged state.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Explanation

The title names the main change: watched PRs now notify the agent when they merge. It uses a conventional commit prefix and is specific. The changeset matches it: the reactor now wakes the agent on merge, and a test covers merged PRs.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has a Problem section that states the bug: a merged PR ends a watch silently while a closed PR wakes the agent. It has a Change section that lists the helper reuse, both merge-detection paths, and the reordering of endsWithoutRead checks. It also explains that auto-settle behavior is unchanged. The Scope and approval section is not satisfied: it links no triaged issue or maintainer-approved discussion. It says there is no issue, and it gives a reason the change may be a gap rather than a deliberate choice. The template requires either a link to an approved issue or discussion, or an explanation of why a very small, focused fix of an obvious bug qualifies without one. The author's argument that the behavior may be intentional means the change does not clearly fit the obvious-bug exemption. The Verification section is strong. It lists specific tests, the 165-test count, a before and after result on main, and what was not checked. The model and harness line is present at the end.

Resolution

Add a link to a triaged issue or a maintainer-approved discussion that covers the merge wake. Include the approval comment. If no approval exists, explain why this change qualifies as a very small, focused fix of an obvious bug. The author's own note says the silent merge end may be intentional. Confirm the intended behavior with a maintainer before you request review. Then update the Scope and approval section to match. The Problem, Change, and Verification sections meet the template and need no changes.

Thanks for this. #26271 makes the same change and is the one being kept: Keep #26271 instead. Its diff addresses the same host-read and merged-snapshot paths, preserves settled/subagent guards, and additionally supplies merge details from supported hosts, documents the final wake, and tests repeated sweeps and close/reopen/merge behavior. GitCafe reports its current head mergeable without conflicts, with all 32 checks successful and none pending or failing. All 3,640 open PRs were paged; other overlapping submissions include #32582 and #32881. The related issues describe additional queue or settlement behavior, so none is claimed fully fixed here. Distinctive-line history searches found no implementation on the available main, and no commits or merges since this PR's comparison base touched its two changed files. Both fetch attempts failed with HTTP 503, so the main comparison used the existing origin/main reference. No project code, tests, or scripts were run.

Closing as a duplicate.
