Merge new upstream (parent) commits into every fork in the App installation,
gated by a per-repo interval (default 1h), inside the existing 5-minute tick
(STEP 0, max 2 forks/tick, oldest-first).
- Conflicted merges are resolved by Claude Code (merge-reconciler rules:
never wholesale --ours/--theirs, verify with the repo's own
typecheck+tests, commit --no-edit; Claude never pushes — harness does).
- Clean merges get a single Claude Code quality pass commit.
- Push path: owner PAT (gh CLI) first — the App lacks workflows:write and a
workflows-touching merge is rejected for the App token; App token fallback.
- Protected default branch: detected from the push result (GH006 /
required-status-check) → upstream-sync-<ts> branch + PR through the normal
pipeline; duplicate open sync PRs are skipped.
- CI safety: after a direct push, ticks verify the fork CI at our merge sha;
red CI at OUR merge (still the tip) → sha-guarded force-revert to
pre-merge sha + Discord notify; never reverts foreign commits.
- Discord: synced / PR opened / reverted / skipped-once on pr-agent-ops.
- merge_pr gains the same PAT fallback (a PR merge touching workflows is a
workflow-file push).
- CLI: --sync-status, --sync-only <repo> [--dry].
- Tests: scripts/test_pr_queue_sync.py (46 assertions, monkeypatched, no
network); py_compile clean.
- Plan: .hermes/plans/2026-09-21-upstream-auto-sync.md
1. Skip ONCE on infra errors (Claude Code CLI missing/timeout/unreachable):
- run_ai_fix returns '[INFRA] ...' reasons; worker marks the PR permanently
skipped at that head SHA in fix-state (no more retry every 5 min)
- skip is recorded per {repo,pr,sha}; cleared when head SHA changes
2. Merge conflict auto-fix via Claude Code:
- mergeable=False or merge HTTP 409 now trigger run_ai_fix (prompt already
merges base + resolves conflicts) once per head SHA
- success → next tick re-checks mergeable and merges; failure → skip once
3. Discord skip notification dedupe:
- notify_skip_once(): posts '⏭️ Skipped: <reason>' exactly once per
PR+head_sha (state.notified flag); no repeated spam every cron tick
- skip reason + which PR is visible in the notification
4. State migration: legacy {repo:{pr:'sha'}} → dict form handled in _pr_entry
Verified: py_compile clean, state-helper unit tests pass (skip/fixed/notify
dedupe/legacy migration). Cron wrapper execs repo copy — no manual sync.
