- --dry now touches nothing: no state file writes (run_upstream_sync uses a
throwaway state dict; sync_fork_repo refuses to mutate in dry), no Discord,
no push, no PR (protected-branch dry prints would-open instead). The earlier
dry run polluted /tmp/pr-queue-sync-state.json and posted a false 'skip'
notification — both are gone.
- Claude Code conflict/quality runs now use --strict-mcp-config (with
--mcp-config ''): --mcp-config '' alone still lets claude -p spawn MCP
servers from settings.json/managed/plugins (observed ouroboros mcp serve
hanging 15+ min with zero output until the 900s timeout). These calls only
read/edit a throwaway clone and run git — no MCP server is ever needed.
- tests: 51/51 (added dry-purity cases: clean-merge, conflict-failure).
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.
- pr-queue-worker.py: cron orchestrator (review trigger → AI fix → safety →
CI gate → approve/merge) now versioned in-repo
- TOOLCHAIN_PINS: close dependabot PRs bumping pinned majors
(typescript/eslint/@tsparticles/eslint-config-next/eslint-plugin-react)
- STALE_CI_CLOSE_DAYS=2: close dependabot PRs stuck failing CI
- Secrets externalized to env (PR_AGENT_*), hydrated from ~/.hermes/.env —
file is safe for the public repo; no inline secrets
