Problem

When pull request checks are pending, the primary action can enable auto-merge while appearing to merge immediately. The thread details row can also continue to show Merge after auto-merge is armed.

Change

Clarify pending auto-merge actions with “Enable auto-merge” wording, a clock icon, and confirmation text explaining that the host waits for requirements. Update the thread details action to offer enable-auto-merge when checks are pending and available, and hide Merge once auto-merge is armed while preserving Fix for failing checks.

Scope and approval

This focused web fix addresses misleading labels and actions in the pull request detail and thread details controls. It keeps the existing merge and auto-merge capabilities and aligns the controls with the current check and auto-merge state.

Verification

vp run check:changed passed, including format, lint, knip, typecheck for two packages, tests across five files, and React Compiler checks. The focused thread details browser tests and pull request action logic tests passed.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 4ffda7b

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Auto-merge controls now clearly distinguish enabling deferred merging from merging immediately. The new thread-row action remains permission-gated and explicitly confirmed, without changing merge defaults or host requirements.

Walkthrough

The PR updates pull-request action resolution for pending checks and enabled auto-merge. It adds thread-row auto-merge confirmation and changes auto-merge labels, confirmation text, tooltips, and icons in pull-request controls.

Changes: Auto-merge actions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve pending-check actions
apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDetail.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/pullRequestDetail.logic.test.ts
The resolver considers whether auto-merge is enabled. For pending checks, it returns enable-auto-merge when the viewer has permission and a merge method is allowed. Tests cover enabled and pending states.
Thread-row auto-merge confirmation
apps/web/src/components/chat/ThreadDetailsPrRow.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ThreadDetailsPrRow.browser.test.tsx
The thread row displays an auto-merge action and confirmation. Confirming calls perform with the current action and selected merge method. Browser tests cover these states.
Pull-request auto-merge controls
apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestActionsMenu.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestDetailActions.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestDetailPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/pullRequest/useInlineActionConfirm.browser.test.tsx
The controls use updated auto-merge labels, confirmation text, tooltips, and clock icons. The test expectation uses the updated pending-action label.

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

After enabling auto-merge, the thread row can briefly offer the action again and send another request. This is bounded but should be addressed.

Explanation

The title "fix(web): clarify auto-merge actions and pending state" follows conventional commit format and names the main change: clearer auto-merge labels and actions while checks are pending. The changeset covers the "Enable auto-merge" action, the clock icon, the confirmation text, and hiding Merge once auto-merge is armed, all of which fit the title.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. The Problem and Change sections are clear and match the changeset. Scope gives a focused-fix rationale, but it does not link a triaged issue or maintainer approval, which the template asks for. Verification lists the commands run and the focused tests that passed, but it has no before/after screenshots for the UI change, and it does not state what could not be checked. The template also asks for the model and harness if an agent was used, and the description does not say whether one was.

Resolution

Add a link to the triaged issue or the maintainer discussion that approved this direction. If no prior issue exists, explain why this qualifies as a very small, focused fix of an obvious bug. Add before/after screenshots of the changed PR action labels, the clock icon, and the thread details row, and upload them to GitHub. State any checks you could not run. State whether an agent was used and, if so, name the model and harness.

Use browser locators for the new assertions.

The button-state and dialog-text checks use direct DOM queries with synchronous expect. Replace them with expect.element or vi.waitFor assertions. As per coding guidelines, “Browser tests assert through expect.element or vi.waitFor.” The matching path instructions require the same rule. (github.com)

Subscribe to the detail refresh state before disabling the actions.

The detail refresh keeps stale data visible with waiting: true, but detailQuery.isPending() does not subscribe to that state. The row can therefore keep the stale enable-auto-merge action enabled while the refresh runs, allowing another host mutation before autoMergeEnabled updates.

Add a subscribing pending selector and use it for both controls.

Suggested fix
   const detailData = useEnvironmentQuerySelector(detailAtom, selectEnvironmentQueryData);
+  const detailPending = useEnvironmentQuerySelector(detailAtom, (result) => result.waiting);
   const detailQuery = useEnvironmentQueryRefresh(detailAtom);
...
-                      disabled={actionPending || handoff !== null}
+                      disabled={actionPending || detailPending || handoff !== null}
...
-                disabled={actionPending}
+                disabled={actionPending || detailPending}
