Why

Per live-CI RCA + 2-source verification (CR2 + Researcher), the GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS constant in gitea-merge-queue.py was using the (pull_request) suffix, but the actual emitted status contexts from the qa-review, security-review, and sop-checklist workflows are (pull_request_target) (their on: blocks use pull_request_target, not pull_request). Verified live against PR#2419, PR#2331, and others: the workflows emit:

qa-review / approved (pull_request_target)
qa-review / approved (pull_request_review)
security-review / approved (pull_request_target)
security-review / approved (pull_request_review)
sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request_target) [also (pull_request) compat]

The script's old (pull_request) suffix never matched these, so the gate would report qa-review / approved (pull_request)=missing even after both qa-review and security-review passed. That painted ~16 ready PRs red and blocked the self-merge pile.

Fix

Update the three entries in GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS from (pull_request) to (pull_request_target) — pure name correction, no requirement dropped.

The tests/test_lint_bp_context_emit_match.py lint already asserts the (pull_request_target) form for these names, confirming the canonical emitted form.

Test plan

All 70 test_gitea_merge_queue.py tests pass (12 + 10 + 18 stale context-name occurrences updated to (pull_request_target) in the test fixtures)
Broader gate-related test suite: 345 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed across .gitea/scripts/tests/ + tests/test_lint_bp_context_emit_match.py + tests/test_lint_required_no_paths.py
Live PR verification: contexts now match between the script and the actual emitted statuses (PR#2419 has all three governed contexts green at the new suffix; the ~16 stuck PRs should now go green when this merges)

Files

.gitea/scripts/gitea-merge-queue.py — GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS updated + extended comment explaining the suffix choice and the live-PR verification
.gitea/scripts/tests/test_gitea_merge_queue.py — 40 stale test fixtures updated to use (pull_request_target)

Scope

This is intentionally narrow:

Only the hardcoded GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS is changed.
The env-configurable REQUIRED_CONTEXTS_RAW default (CI / all-required) is left alone — the CI workflows emit BOTH (pull_request) and (pull_request_target) (per the PR#2419 head status), so the existing default still matches. Changing it would be a separate decision (and would require coordination with anyone who's set the env var to override the default).
No changes to the workflows, no changes to other test files (the other gate-related test files already use the correct (pull_request_target) suffix).

Per live-CI RCA + 2-source verification (CR2 + Researcher), the
`GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS` constant in
`gitea-merge-queue.py` was using the (pull_request) suffix, but
the actual emitted status contexts from the qa-review,
security-review, and sop-checklist workflows are
(pull_request_target) (their `on:` blocks use pull_request_target,
not pull_request). Verified live against PR#2419, PR#2331, and
others: the workflows emit:

  - qa-review / approved (pull_request_target)
  - qa-review / approved (pull_request_review)
  - security-review / approved (pull_request_target)
  - security-review / approved (pull_request_review)
  - sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request_target)  [also (pull_request) compat]

The script's old (pull_request) suffix never matched these, so the
gate would report `qa-review / approved (pull_request)=missing`
even after both qa-review and security-review passed. That painted
~16 ready PRs red and blocked the self-merge pile.

The `tests/test_lint_bp_context_emit_match.py` lint already
asserts the (pull_request_target) form for these names, confirming
the canonical emitted form. No requirement dropped — just a name
correction.

Test plan:
- [x] All 70 `test_gitea_merge_queue.py` tests pass (12 + 10 + 18
  stale context-name occurrences updated to (pull_request_target))
- [x] Broader gate-related test suite: 345 passed, 2 skipped,
  0 failed (.gitea/scripts/tests/ + tests/test_lint_bp_context_emit_match.py
  + tests/test_lint_required_no_paths.py)
- [x] Live PR verification: contexts now match between the script
  and the actual emitted statuses

APPROVED: gate context-name fix is fail-closed and matches live emitted governance contexts.

PASS: GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS changes qa-review, security-review, and sop-checklist from (pull_request) to (pull_request_target). I independently checked live molecule-core PR statuses (#2419/#2423/#2331): the successful governance statuses are emitted as qa-review / approved (pull_request_target), security-review / approved (pull_request_target), and sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request_target). The old (pull_request) variants are absent or can be red for this gate.
PASS: no requirement is dropped. All three governance contexts remain required; tests still assert red/pending governance blocks readiness/force-merge, while advisory non-required red remains bypassable only when governance is green.
PASS: gate_check.py signal_6_ci is untouched by this PR; existing fail-closed behavior is not weakened.
PASS: REQUIRED_CONTEXTS_RAW / CI all-required is untouched.
PASS: current head is mergeable and BP-required contexts are green (CI / all-required, E2E API Smoke Test, Handlers Postgres Integration). Any self-gating governance incompleteness is the expected old-gate bootstrap issue, not a code blocker.

2nd-axis gate-aware review on current head 2e9bb8b15f: APPROVED.

Required-vs-advisory determination: ci-arm64-advisory / fast-checks (pull_request) is non-required/advisory. The merge-queue source explicitly categorizes ci-arm64-advisory with non-required reds, and it is not in GOVERNANCE_REQUIRED_CONTEXTS. The BP-required contexts visible on the PR are green: CI/all-required, E2E API Smoke Test, and Handlers Postgres Integration; PR is mergeable=true.

Per-point: (1) names-match-reality PASS — live PR statuses emit qa-review/security-review/sop-checklist as (pull_request_target), matching this fix. (2) nothing-weakened/fail-closed PASS — all 3 governance contexts remain required and tests still block missing/pending/red governance contexts. (3) signal_6_ci/REQUIRED_CONTEXTS_RAW intact PASS — this PR only changes merge-queue context names/tests. (4) required CI green PASS; only advisory arm64 check is pending. No merge performed.
