Pull request backlog: give every open bot pull request a verdict #541
Description
Operator, 13 Oct (chat), verbatim:
hmm yeah we are definitely generating more than we're merging, like we're losing track of PRs like cgwalters-forge/agentic-job#153 ?
Count on 13 Oct, 20:15 UTC: 132 open pull requests by cgwalters-bot. Today 57 were opened and 50 merged, so the day is close to even; the pile is older.
- Our own repositories, ours to finish (about 31): homegit 15, agentic-job 7 (four stale: devspace: Clone and install cgwalters-bot/homegit; install opencode + Claude Code from Renovate-pinned npm.txt #1, Sealed variant: one bootc container seal command? #143, Review app: where does the board live? #144, ostree#3611: rerun the red stream9 jobs #153), tracker 2, agent-board 2, review 2, actions 1, praxis-credential-broker 1, cgwalters/bootc 1. The hosted poll only watches agentic-job and agent-board pull requests opened by a dispatch run, so everything else here has no driver.
- Fork drafts waiting for the operator's review (about 83): bootc 24, composefs-rs 21, bcvk 6, and 14 other forks. Most date from 23 Sep to 6 Oct.
- Upstream, waiting for maintainers (18).
Rules from here (controller):
- Each own-repository pull request older than two days gets one verdict: rebase and merge, finish, or close with a reason. Triage run on this issue, then act on it.
- No new implement dispatch in a repository while it has an own pull request older than two days with no verdict.
- The poll in agent-board (poll: One pass over activity by cgwalters and cgwalters-bot, with cached requests and idle backoff agent-board#40) follows every open bot pull request in our repositories, not only dispatch-opened ones, and reports age.
- Fork drafts: a ranked list for the operator (worth his review / close as stale or superseded), nothing closed without his word unless superseded (May the bot close an issue you opened or commented on, once it is done or superseded? #444).

Scope of this issue is therefore the harness repositories; fork drafts are out. Added to the rules: every pass of the poll (cgwalters-forge/agent-board#40) lists as leaked (a) any open bot pull request in our repositories with no review, fix run or queue entry in progress and no
needs-humanlabel, and (b) any board item In Progress with no open pull request and no active run; leaked items are reported on the board status, oldest first.Generated-by: https://github.com/cgwalters/#llms

Verdicts for the 29 open cgwalters-bot pull requests in scope: 5 MERGE, 0 FINISH, 24 CLOSE. None is worth finishing. All 15 in homegit are CLOSE. Two have content that could move: homegit#110 to the review prompt, and homegit#143 to agent-board if tracker#372 is still wanted. Everything in scope from agentic-job, actions#6 and the old
agent.ymlpath in devspace-sandbox has been replaced on main or by agentic-job. The five MERGEs are test-only PRs or small PRs the operator already asked for or approved. They need a rebase, a/promoteor the operator's review, and no new work.How I checked: for each PR I read the description, the comments, the reviews, the file list and the CI rollup. I checked against today's

The operator's 7 Oct note (secure-host for generic CI jobs) is tracked in #503rustredapply.ymlandworkflow/replacement.cjs(both still usequotePath=false), so the change would need a rewrite.

Using it also needs the Forgejo runner upgraded from v6 (described in the PR)scripts/public-repo.mjs, which exists only on #3's branch/promoteto bootc-dev.

Not done here: no PR was closed or merged. agentic-job #528, #534 and #535 are under two days old and were not in scope.

Acted on the triage: closed 18 with high confidence (homegit 12, agentic-job #1 #143 #153, devspace-sandbox #3 #17, cgwalters/bootc#1). cgwalters-forge/review #46 and #47 rebased and sent for review, to merge on approval.
Left for the operator's word (medium or low confidence, or his to do): close homegit #143, #110 (checklist could move into the review prompt), #66; agentic-job #144; actions #6 (he approved it; replaced by secure-host); devspace-sandbox #8. Merge needs him: praxis-credential-broker#23 (security review), devspace-sandbox #16 in both forks.

✅ dispatch ended well. Result: #541 (comment)
(Run status from 2026-10-13T20:20:33Z, re-posted by the bot without the agent's own words. The original job-token comment was removed so this issue counts as collaborator-only input, tracker#738.)
