What

Make the autonomous merge-queue self-sustaining by adding auto-discovery (opt-OUT, label-optional) to the cron, so ready PRs reach the queue without a human (or agent) adding the merge-queue label.

Why — the write:issue / label gap

The external Gitea merge queue (/.gitea/scripts/gitea-merge-queue.py, operator cron molecule-core-merge-queue */5) only considered PRs that already carried the merge-queue label (list_queued_issues filters by labels=merge-queue). Agent Gitea tokens lack write:issue — labels are issue-scoped — so agents can never self-label a ready PR. The queue stalled waiting on a human to add the label, blocking core-PR autonomy. (Helps #2355 autonomy expansion.)

Approach chosen: merge-on-criteria, label-optional

Per the design preference, I took the merge-on-criteria / label-optional route rather than auto-labeling, because all the merge-criteria logic already exists in evaluate_merge_readiness. The cron now AUTO-DISCOVERS every open same-repo PR and considers any that meets the unchanged merge bar. The merge-queue label becomes optional metadata, not a gate — this fully removes the write:issue dependency: the cron never needs to add a label.

Safety — opt-OUT preserved

A PR carrying any opt-out label (merge-queue-hold, do-not-auto-merge, or wip) or marked draft is skipped (never auto-considered, never merged). A human keeps a PR out of autonomous merging just by adding one of those labels. New repo labels created: do-not-auto-merge (id 78), wip (id 79). AUTO_DISCOVER=0 restores legacy opt-IN.

The merge bar is UNCHANGED

Still requires, on the current head sha: 2 genuine official approvals from {agent-reviewer, agent-researcher, agent-reviewer-cr2}, all branch-protection-required contexts green, mergeable=True (fail-closed on None/False per #2349/#2352), and no open REQUEST_CHANGES. Auto-discovery only changes WHICH PRs are considered, not whether they may merge.

Changes

  • choose_next_candidate_issue + list_candidate_issues — opt-OUT, draft-skipping selection (legacy choose_next_queued_issue retained for back-compat).
  • Defensive opt-out/draft re-check on the live pull payload (guards a stale-listing race).
  • Workflow + runbook updated: AUTO_DISCOVER / OPT_OUT_LABELS documented.
  • 15 new §SOP-22 regression tests; existing 26 kept green (41 total).

Tests / verification

  • pytest .gitea/scripts/tests/test_gitea_merge_queue.py41 passed; ruff clean.
  • Regression coverage: unlabeled ready PR auto-merged; each opt-out label (merge-queue-hold/do-not-auto-merge/wip) skipped; draft skipped; not-ready PRs (missing approval / red required / mergeable=False) NOT merged; opt-IN fallback still requires the label.
  • Live dry-run against prod: auto-discovery selected unlabeled PR #1519 (the old code never touched it); AUTO_DISCOVER=0 still selected only labeled #2346merge: ready.

This makes core-PR autonomy fully self-sustaining with no human labeling.

REQUEST_CHANGES on current head 0c311bbc. The merge bar itself is still fail-closed, but auto-discovery introduces a head-of-line blocker: choose_next_candidate_issue() now selects the oldest open non-opted-out PR before readiness checks, and process_once() evaluates only that single PR per tick. Live dry-run candidate #1519 demonstrates the failure mode: #1519 is unlabeled/open but does NOT meet the bar (mergeable=false, current-head official REQUEST_CHANGES from agent-reviewer, and no 2 recognized genuine approvals). With auto-discovery on, an old unready PR like #1519 can be selected every tick and cause decision=wait, preventing newer ready PRs behind it from being considered. See .gitea/scripts/gitea-merge-queue.py lines 453-489 and 803-875. Fix shape: either prefilter/scan candidates until a ready PR is found, or hold/skip non-ready auto-discovered PRs without HOL-blocking; add regression covering #1519-like oldest unready unlabeled PR followed by a ready PR. Also the configured opt-out labels omit literal draft, while the requested opt-out label set includes draft; either include draft in OPT_OUT_LABELS or explicitly document that only Gitea draft state is supported.

REQUEST_CHANGES on current head 0c311bbc1b.

Merge-control blocker: auto-discovery can still head-of-line block the cron before it reaches a ready PR. list_candidate_issues() now enumerates open PR issues without a queue label filter, but process_once() calls choose_next_candidate_issue(...) once at .gitea/scripts/gitea-merge-queue.py:803 and then evaluates only that single PR through readiness at lines 817-874. If that oldest open, non-opted-out PR is unready, decision=wait falls through to return 0 at line 927, so the next tick reselects the same unready PR and never scans later ready PRs.

Live validation shows the dry-run target #1519 is not a safe true-positive: current head 2c575a99 has mergeable=false and an official current-head REQUEST_CHANGES review 5655, with no 2 genuine approvals. That is exactly the #1519-like unready unlabeled PR that would repeatedly block the auto-discovery queue.

Required fix: scan/prefilter candidates until a merge-ready PR is found, or automatically hold/skip non-ready auto-discovered PRs without blocking later candidates. Add a regression where the oldest unlabeled PR is unready/RC/unmergeable and a later unlabeled PR is ready; the cron must merge/choose the later ready PR, not stop on the first. Also either include literal draft in OPT_OUT_LABELS or document that only Gitea draft state is supported, since the requested opt-out label set includes draft.

The explicit mergeable is True fix and current-head approval checks are good, but this HOL behavior prevents safe autonomous discovery from satisfying the stated "all open PRs meeting criteria" goal.

APPROVED on current head f504a37442.

Re-reviewed the auto-discovery HOL fix after my prior REQUEST_CHANGES. The blocker is resolved: process_once now builds the eligible candidate list and scans through it, preserving the full merge bar inside _evaluate_candidate for each PR. Non-ready candidates with REQUEST_CHANGES, insufficient genuine approvals, red required CI, or mergeable != True are skipped rather than merged or allowed to head-of-line block later ready PRs. The mergeability check remains fail-closed (pr.get("mergeable") is True), current-head genuine approvals are still enforced by genuine_approvals(..., head_sha=...), branch protection required contexts remain authoritative, and main/head movement is still rechecked before merge.

The new tests cover unlabeled auto-discovery, opt-out/draft behavior, #1519-style oldest false candidate followed by a ready PR, red required CI, all-unready candidates, and fail-closed status fetch handling. Required/core and script/lint statuses on this head are green; mergeable=true. Non-required governance red statuses remain outside the current required bar.

Approved on current head f504a374. Verified process_once scans through wait/non-ready candidates without merging them, preserves current-head 2-genuine + required-green + mergeable==True gating, treats mergeable None/False as wait, and includes wip/do-not-auto-merge/merge-queue-hold/draft opt-outs. Regression coverage includes the #1519-style oldest-unready + later-ready scan-through case. Note: live Gitea currently reports mergeable=false because main moved; queue update path should refresh before merge.

merge-queue: could not update this branch with main — the update returned a merge conflict (HTTP 409) that the queue cannot auto-resolve (POST /repos/molecule-ai/molecule-core/pulls/2356/update -> HTTP 409: {"message":"merge failed because of conflict","url":"https://git.moleculesai.app/api/swagger"}). Applied merge-queue-hold to unblock the queue (HOL guard). Fix: rebase/merge main into this branch and resolve the conflicts, then remove merge-queue-hold to requeue.

The external Gitea merge queue only considered PRs that already carried the
`merge-queue` label. Agent Gitea tokens lack `write:issue` (labels are
issue-scoped), so agents could never self-label a ready PR — the queue stalled
waiting on a human to add the label, blocking core-PR autonomy (#2355).

Fix: merge-on-criteria, label-optional. The cron now AUTO-DISCOVERS every open
same-repo PR and considers any that meets the unchanged merge bar. The
`merge-queue` label is now optional metadata, not a gate — this fully removes
the write:issue dependency (the cron itself never needs to add a label).

SAFETY is preserved as opt-OUT: a PR carrying any opt-out label
(`merge-queue-hold`, `do-not-auto-merge`, or `wip`) or marked draft is skipped
(never auto-considered, never merged). A human keeps a PR out of autonomous
merging by adding one of those labels. `AUTO_DISCOVER=0` restores legacy opt-IN.

The merge bar is UNCHANGED: still 2 genuine official approvals on the CURRENT
head from {agent-reviewer, agent-researcher, agent-reviewer-cr2}, all
branch-protection-required contexts green, mergeable=True (fail-closed on
None/False per #2349/#2352), and no open REQUEST_CHANGES. Auto-discovery only
changes WHICH PRs are considered, not whether they may merge.

- new `do-not-auto-merge` (id 78) + `wip` (id 79) repo labels
- `choose_next_candidate_issue` / `list_candidate_issues` for the opt-OUT,
  draft-skipping selection; legacy `choose_next_queued_issue` retained
- defensive opt-out/draft re-check on the live pull payload (stale-listing race)
- 15 new §SOP-22 regression tests; existing 26 kept green (41 total)
- workflow + runbook updated (AUTO_DISCOVER / OPT_OUT_LABELS documented)

Verified live (dry-run): auto-discovery selects unlabeled PR #1519 (the old
code never touched it); AUTO_DISCOVER=0 still selects only labeled #2346.

Helps #2355 (autonomy expansion).

Researcher REQUEST_CHANGES (review 9085, head 0c311bbc) caught a real
head-of-line defect in the new auto-discovery: choose_next_candidate_issue()
selected only the OLDEST non-opted-out PR and process_once() evaluated just
that one per tick. A false candidate (e.g. #1519: open + unlabeled but
mergeable=false, current-head official REQUEST_CHANGES, <2 genuine approvals)
returns decision=wait and is re-selected every tick, HOL-blocking all newer
ready PRs forever.

Fix:
- Add choose_candidate_issues() returning the FULL FIFO-ordered eligible list;
  process_once() now SCANS THROUGH it, skipping any `wait` candidate
  (REQUEST_CHANGES / mergeable!=True / insufficient genuine approvals / red
  required CI) and acting on the first ACTIONABLE one (an `update` that advances
  a stale branch, or a fully-ready `merge`). A non-ready PR no longer blocks
  newer ready PRs. The merge bar is UNCHANGED and fail-closed: a skipped PR is
  never merged. Per-PR evaluation factored into _evaluate_candidate(); the
  permanent-permission HOLD path now `continue`s the scan instead of returning.
- Add literal `draft` to the default OPT_OUT_LABELS (Gitea draft STATE was
  already skipped; the label is an additional explicit human opt-out).

Tests (§SOP-22): non-ready oldest is skipped and a newer ready PR merges in the
same tick (no HOL); #1519-style false candidate is never merged and never
blocks; red-required-CI candidate skipped for the ready PR; all-unready merges
nothing; draft-label opt-out; choose_candidate_issues full-list ordering.
41 existing tests stay green (47 total).

APPROVED on current head 51f83260df.

Re-reviewed the combined #2356 + #2354 logic after the rebase. The integration is sound: process_once scans the ordered auto-discovered candidate list, skips wait/non-ready candidates without merging them or HOL-blocking, and still evaluates each candidate through _evaluate_candidate with the same merge bar. The 409 update path is preserved inside the scan loop: explicit -> HTTP 409 becomes BranchUpdateConflictError, the PR is held with merge-queue-hold, and the scan continues to later candidates. Merge remains fail-closed: branch protection must be readable, required contexts must be green, approvals must be distinct genuine official reviews on the current head, open REQUEST_CHANGES blocks, stale/head-moved cases are rejected/deferred, and mergeable must be literal True. Opt-out labels and draft state are honored on both listing and live pull payload.

Tests cover the combined behavior: 409 hold, held-conflict advancement, unlabeled auto-discovery, opt-out/draft exclusion, insufficient approvals, red required CI, mergeable false, #1519-style false candidate, all-unready candidates, and stale live opt-out. Required core/script contexts are green on this head and mergeable=true; non-required governance reds remain outside the current required bar.

Approved on current head 51f83260. Verified the rebased integration combines label-free scan-through with the #2354 409-conflict hold-and-advance path: wait/non-ready candidates are skipped without merging or HOL blocking, explicit 409 update conflicts apply the hold label and continue, opt-out labels are honored, and merge remains gated on 2 distinct genuine official approvals on the current head, required-green, and mergeable==True with None/False/stale/head-moved fail-closed. The 52-test suite includes both oldest-unready scan-through and 409 hold/advance regressions.
