Land only by an explicit merge, on all three GitHub reviews (closes #430) - #437
A pull request could land on the review bot's ACK while Codex held an unresolved finding on the same head, as on PR #425. /btclib-pr now reads three reviews on GitHub, the bot, Codex and CodeRabbit, each in ACK, findings or absent on the head: a pull request is approved or landed only where none is in findings and each one not absent gave its ACK. An absence is recorded with its reason, and a pull request with all three absent waits for the human; a review still running is waited for.
Auto-merge is never armed: an armed pull request merges at a moment nobody reads. Arming auto-merge becomes Merging: an armed pull request is disarmed and the human told, and the merge is an explicit act after the approval, by the approver or by a session on the human's word, reading every condition on the head at that moment and pinned to it. The bypass landings are unchanged. This departs from the landing by auto-merge that the verbatim CONTRIBUTING.md and section 11 of the standard describe; those copies change in btclib-org/.github, as ISS btclib-org/.github#2272 asks.

Rebase case: 88af323 merges origin/main at d765a16 and resolved one conflict, so it went to a fresh reviewer: CLEARED 88af323. The hunk is the read-back of the session's approval in The decision: this branch's answer sentence is kept, then main's new text on a code owner's review word for word. The pilot of ISS Pilot CodeRabbit's request_changes_workflow here, to get an explicit ACK #432 turns CodeRabbit's approvals on here, so the merge also makes The reviews on GitHub say CodeRabbit posts no verdict of its own outside that pilot, and that its three states hold here too until the pilot reports.
Review: fresh Codex reviewer, CLEARED a712f5d after three rounds of changes, and CLEARED a611ecb on the delta that answers the reviews on GitHub, and CLEARED 2732da4 on the run selection (the approval read in Merging, a rule stated twice, the running state read first). CodeRabbit's CLI, once on the branch: two findings, both declined. One asks that Codex's absent not stand until its review has started: the text reads absent again once the checks on the head completed, and the maintainer decided an absence does not block. The other asks to disarm a rebased pull request before the push: none is armed, and Merging disarms one found armed. CodeRabbit raised it again on GitHub, and a611ecb accepts it: nothing said when a session looks, and until this lands the skill on main still has sessions arm.
Reviews on GitHub of a712f5d: the bot's ACK with two non-blocking points, Codex two findings, CodeRabbit four threads and one comment outside them. a611ecb answers them: the bot's absence has no closed list of cases, since an absence does not block, and all three absent wait for the human (decision 4); Codex's eyes is read on each comment too; a Codex finding answered without a push is followed by @codex review (decision 3); CodeRabbit's ACK needs the passing run's details_url to name this pull request; an armed pull request is disarmed before a push; the armed list passes --limit 200. The two findings on CONTRIBUTING.md's --auto passages are declined: it is the standard's verbatim copy, changed through ISS The standard still describes landing by auto-merge, which is never armed .github#2272. On a611ecb the fresh Codex reviewer cleared it locally, the bot gave ACK a611ecb and Codex's state reads ack. CodeRabbit opened one thread there: its read took the latest run on the head before asking whether it named this pull request, so a later run of another pull request on the same head hid this one's ACK. 2732da4 takes the latest run of this pull request instead. The local review of 2732da4 and of 88af323 is not yet on this record.
The commands of The reviews on GitHub, extracted from the file and run in zsh and in bash on 2026-11-14, gave the same answers in both:
On PR process: hostile names and lock markers in Local review (closes #342, closes #343) #425 at 21e44af, the CodeRabbit command printed running while its check ran. Each reviewer's running test is read first: a run in progress gives running for the bot and for CodeRabbit whatever their reviews and threads say. On 812bbeb the check-runs endpoint lists ten runs of the bot's check with its default filter=latest and eleven with filter=all, which both reads pass. A repository that does not exist gives error in the three that read with gh api. The bot's filter, run on review lists built by hand: no review, an empty or null body and another author's ACK give none; an ACK on an older commit then one on the head gives ack; findings on the head then an ACK on an older commit gives findings; ACK <head>bad gives none; an ACK then CHANGES REQUESTED on the head, NACK and NO VERDICT <head>: … give findings.
The approval's read-back, on review lists built by hand: the human's approval on the head followed by CodeRabbit's on an older commit answers the head; CodeRabbit's approval alone answers none.
No workflow in any btclib-org tree arms auto-merge or merges a pull request: git grep -P 'gh pr merge|enablePullRequestAutoMerge|merge_method|auto-?merge' over .github/ of a depth-1 clone of each of the 18 trees, the pattern proved on this tree's skill. No open pull request in the organization is armed (gh pr list --json autoMergeRequest per tree).
gh api … --jq .private prints false and exits 0; jq -e exits 1 on false and on null.
Codex's state on the head moves only when Codex reads again: a finding declined or answered without a push is replied to, its thread resolved, and Codex asked to read again with @codex review, its state then waited for; nothing counts a declined finding as answered, and a finding it repeats is a finding again, fixed or taken to the human. Decided after the measurement on PR CONTRIBUTING: stop prescribing the contributor's checkout layout (issue btclib-org/.github#2263) #427.
)
A pull request was approved and landed on the review bot's ACK alone,
so a finding Codex left open could land behind it, as on
PR #425. /btclib-pr gains *The reviews on
GitHub*: the review bot, Codex and CodeRabbit are each in ACK, findings
or absent on the head. A pull request is approved or landed only where
none is in findings and each one not absent gave its ACK; an absence is
recorded with its reason, and a review still running is waited for.
Codex's state is read from the codex-review-state:v1 marker of its
summary comment, by a command that prints ack, findings, running,
absent or error, and reads a missing or unparsable state as absent,
never as an ACK. The bot's command counts the latest review whose
verdict line names the head. CodeRabbit posts no verdict of its own:
until ISS #432 reports, its ACK on the head
is its check passed, not skipped, with none of its threads open.
No session and no workflow arms auto-merge any more. An armed pull
request merges at a moment nobody reads: a push makes its ACKs stale, a
review with findings can arrive after it was armed, one on an
unprotected base merges at once, and an approving bot could fill the
count of approvals. *Arming auto-merge* becomes *Merging*: a pull
request found armed is disarmed and the human told, and the merge is an
explicit act after the approval, by the approver or by a session on the
human's word, which reads the head, the checks, the threads, the
reviews on GitHub and the approval at that moment and merges pinned to
the head. Who may land through the bypass is unchanged; its review
prerequisites and its reads at the merge follow these rules. The cases
where the bot's review may be absent move to *The reviews on GitHub*,
with the listing of the reusable workflows claude-review.yml calls, and
every step that armed, disarmed or re-read an armed pull request goes,
in the skills and in the shared file. REPOSITORY.md keeps the setting's
value and points to *Merging*. The approval's read-back reads the
human's own latest approval, not the last one anybody gave; at the
merge, *Merging* reads the approval that counts: a person's, not a
bot's or the author's, on the head, with reviewDecision APPROVED.
The shared file states once that a jq filter printing false exits 0,
so a printed value is tested by its value.
This breaks the landing by auto-merge that the verbatim CONTRIBUTING.md
of every tree and section 11 of the standard describe; those copies
are not changed here.

Updated pull request guidance to use explicit squash merges and verify the merged state and merge commit.
Clarified review and merge requirements, including current-head acknowledgements, passing or skipped checks, resolved threads, and how to handle missing, failed, or outdated reviews.
Added guidance for interpreting successful gh and jq commands that print false or null.
Revised related instructions for opening pull requests, recording review evidence, rebasing, and completing review workflows.
The pull request updates GitHub review, approval, and landing guidance. It replaces auto-merge arming with explicit, head-pinned merges. It also clarifies shell filter output and updates related process documentation.
Changes: Pull request review and merging
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Shell guidance and current-head review states process/btclib-common.md, skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md, skills/btclib-iss/SKILL.md, skills/btclib-pr/review-quota.md
The guidance distinguishes printed filter values from command exit status. It defines how Claude review, Codex, and CodeRabbit states are read, including current-head status and absent or skipped reviews.
Approval and merge eligibility skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md, process/btclib-common.md, skills/btclib-iss/SKILL.md, REPOSITORY.md
Approval and landing conditions use reviewer states, human approval, required checks, unresolved threads, and repository protection status. The supporting guidance updates evidence and approval records.
Explicit merge and landing skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md, process/btclib-common.md, REPOSITORY.md, skills/btclib-iss/SKILL.md
The guidance replaces auto-merge arming with explicit squash merges. It updates multi-pull-request checks, landing steps, and references to the merging procedure.
This updates the review and landing procedure so that a pull request lands only by an explicit merge after every present reviewer has cleared the current head. The remaining concerns are bounded. The contributor guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md still mentions auto-merge until the separate follow-up lands. The rule that allows a reviewer to be absent for any reason is broader than the linked issue asked for. The approval read-back wording also mishandles a standing change request. None of these blocks a merge, but the owner should confirm the broader absence rule.

The changed files are REPOSITORY.md, process/btclib-common.md, skills/btclib-iss/SKILL.md, skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md and skills/btclib-pr/review-quota.md. Each concerns review reading, landing, merge settings or the absent-review rule, which is the subject of #430. The PR goes beyond #430's literal text: it adds CodeRabbit to the decision, makes absence non-blocking with a three-absent wait, and replaces arming auto-merge with explicit head-pinned merges. These changes act on the same landing gate. The maintainer recorded them as decisions in the PR description. No changed file was shown to be unrelated to the subject. The skill diffs were not read in full because of truncation, so this verdict rests on the raw summary, the PR description and the partial file reads.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #430 has two Done-when items.
(1) /btclib-pr names the Codex condition beside the bot's ACK. The reviewed head's skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md has a Codex state procedure in Answering it: re-read on push, @codex review, and the state is waited for. The The decision and Landing sections fall past the 16000-byte read limit, so the Codex reading command and the Codex-not-run case could not be confirmed there. The PR summary and description state they are present. This item is unconfirmed, not failed.
(2) 'Nothing else in the process still says the bot's ACK alone is the ack of record without it.' This is not met at the reviewed head. CONTRIBUTING.md (The issue tracker and Pull requests sections) still says 'What ends the loop is the ack of record' and defines the ack of record as 'a bot's review of type COMMENT'. It still says 'The ack of record is not the approval Landing it asks for'. The PR does not change this file. The PR defers the change to btclib-org/.github#2272, because CONTRIBUTING.md is a verbatim copy of the organization standard. The file's own The issue tracker section routes divergences from the standard to btclib-org/.github. The PR's argument that these passages concern the review loop and not landing does not remove the literal definition of the bot's review as the ack of record. The process files in this tree (process/btclib-common.md, the skills) do address the landing condition.
Resolution
Either (a) change this tree's CONTRIBUTING.md passages that define the ack of record so they include the Codex condition, through the divergence route its The issue tracker section prescribes, and record that route on #430; or (b) have the maintainer re-scope #430's second Done-when item to the process files of this tree, and record that re-scope and the deferral to btclib-org/.github#2272 on #430 before this pull request closes it. Also confirm in skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md's The decision and Landing sections that the Codex reading command and the Codex-not-run case are stated beside the bot's ACK.

non-blocking, skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md:565 against :519: two rules disagree on the bot's absence. Line 519 says an absence does not hold the landing. Line 565 says the bot may be absent only in three cases. Neither says what a bot none outside those cases does, and Merging only asks that "the rule holds". So a session reading done then none can land or hold depending on which line it follows.
non-blocking, skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md:1438 (Merging): "No session and no workflow arms auto-merge" goes against the standard's section 11, Merge method: "auto-merge presses it once the review and the checks are in", and "allow_auto_merge is on". The body admits this. But it names no issue or pull request in btclib-org/.github to bring the standard into line, so a session that reads the standard and then the skill meets two rules. The record is also thin. The body says "Never auto-merge" was decided on ISS #430. The only MEMBER comment there (fametrano) decides the three-state reviews, not the end of auto-merge, and says CodeRabbit's ACK is named only after the pilot.
Not checked: the gh/jq commands this diff adds to The reviews on GitHub and Merging (the bot, Codex and CodeRabbit state reads and the approval read) were not run. There is no interpreter here, so the body's table of their outputs is the author's run and was not repeated.

Alternatively, the maintainer amends #430 to accept a divergence from the

The review bot's absence no longer has a closed list of cases: where it
is absent, for one of the listed reasons or another, the pull request
merges only on the latest fresh reviewer's CLEARED of the head. The rule
above it says an absence does not hold the landing, and the closed list
contradicted it. Where all three reviews on GitHub are absent on the
head, the pull request waits for the human, as the maintainer decided on
2026-11-14 (recorded on ISS #430).
Codex's `eyes` reaction is read on the pull request and on each of its
comments, since its summary comment does not say which one it marks.
Codex's state on the head changes only when Codex reads again, so a
finding answered without a push is followed by a comment `@codex review`
and a wait for the state; a finding it repeats is a finding again. The
maintainer decided this on 2026-11-14, on a measurement of PR
#427.
CodeRabbit's ACK needs the passing run's `details_url` to name this pull
request: a check run belongs to the commit, which another pull request
can share.
An armed pull request is disarmed before any push to it again, so an
approval on the new head cannot merge it before *Merging* is read. The
list of armed pull requests reads past gh's default limit.

The points the reviews of a712f5d make outside their threads are answered in a611ecb and in the body, except the linked-issue check, which is declined.
The review bot's second point asked where the standard is brought into line with the end of auto-merge, and where that decision is recorded. ISS btclib-org/.github#2272, open since 2026-11-14, changes section 11 and the verbatim CONTRIBUTING.md and ports each tree's copy; it also states the decision, which ISS #430 does not. The body's Decision now says so. CodeRabbit's comment outside its threads, that CLAUDE_REVIEW_ENABLED not true skips the bot outside the listed cases, holds: the job's if: in reusable-claude-review.yml requires it. a611ecb lets the bot be absent for any reason, as the bot's thread on line 565 also asked.
CodeRabbit's linked-issue check asks for CONTRIBUTING.md's Pull requests and Landing it to name the Codex condition. ISS #430 asks that nothing in the process still says the bot's ACK alone is enough to land. Those passages say the ack of record ends the review loop and "is not the approval Landing it asks for", and that a pull request lands once somebody other than its author has approved that head: none makes the bot's ACK enough to land. They are also above the line where the file stops being the standard's verbatim copy, so a change there goes through btclib-org/.github.
No blocking findings. The two non-blocking points from my review of a712f5d are answered. The bot's absence no longer has a closed list of cases (skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md:574: "in these cases or another"). The end of auto-merge is now recorded on ISS btclib-org/.github#2272, where a MEMBER comment takes the standard's change and the bypass landings.
Not checked: the gh/jq commands this diff adds to The reviews on GitHub (the bot's check and review reads, Codex's codex-review-state:v1 and eyes read, CodeRabbit's check-run and thread read) and to Merging (the approval read, the armed list) were not run. There is no interpreter here, and gh api is refused. The body's tables of their outputs are the author's runs, not repeated here.

The CodeRabbit read took the latest run on the head and then asked
whether it named this pull request, so a later run of another pull
request on the same head turned this one's ACK into absent. It now keeps
the runs whose `details_url` names this pull request and reads the
latest of those. A run still in progress on the head, whichever pull
request it belongs to, still reads as running first.

No blocking findings. The only commit since my ACK a611ecb is 2732da4. It now keeps the CodeRabbit runs whose details_url names this pull request, then reads the latest of them (skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md:733-737). This answers CodeRabbit's thread on a611ecb. A run in progress on the head is still read as running first, whichever pull request it belongs to, as the text above the command says. The "?" added to both sides keeps /pull/43 from matching /pull/437. With no run of this pull request, the read gives absent. The non-blocking findings are left to the author.
Not checked: the changed CodeRabbit command was not run. There is no interpreter here, and gh api is refused. The body's table of its outputs on two pull requests' runs sharing one head is the author's run and was not repeated.

Either (a) change this tree's `CONTRIBUTING.md` passages that define the ack of
record so they include the Codex condition, through the divergence route its
*The issue tracker* section prescribes, and record that route on #430; or (b)
have the maintainer re-scope #430's second Done-when item to the process files
of this tree, and record that re-scope and the deferral to
btclib-org/.github#2272 on #430 before this pull request closes it. Also confirm
in `skills/btclib-pr/SKILL.md`'s *The decision* and *Landing* sections that the
Codex reading command and the Codex-not-run case are stated beside the bot's
ACK.

Route a standing change request to its reviewer before asking for another approval.
If another reviewer requests changes after the human approves, the read-back can print CHANGES_REQUESTED. Another owner's approval can leave that state standing, so the requested approval may not resolve it. The read-back branch should send the change request and its finding back to the reviewer. It should ask for another approval only when the decision is not APPROVED for another reason. The landing check already blocks a CHANGES_REQUESTED decision, so this gap affects the instruction, not the merge.

A pull request could land on the review bot's ACK while Codex held an unresolved finding on the same head, as on PR #425.
/btclib-prnow reads three reviews on GitHub, the bot, Codex and CodeRabbit, each in ACK, findings or absent on the head: a pull request is approved or landed only where none is in findings and each one not absent gave its ACK. An absence is recorded with its reason, and a pull request with all three absent waits for the human; a review still running is waited for.Auto-merge is never armed: an armed pull request merges at a moment nobody reads. Arming auto-merge becomes Merging: an armed pull request is disarmed and the human told, and the merge is an explicit act after the approval, by the approver or by a session on the human's word, reading every condition on the head at that moment and pinned to it. The bypass landings are unchanged. This departs from the landing by auto-merge that the verbatim
CONTRIBUTING.mdand section 11 of the standard describe; those copies change in btclib-org/.github, as ISS btclib-org/.github#2272 asks.Evidence

Recorded on ISS Landing reads Codex's review state beside the review bot's ACK #430.@codex review, its state then waited for; nothing counts a declined finding as answered, and a finding it repeats is a finding again, fixed or taken to the human. Decided after the measurement on PR CONTRIBUTING: stop prescribing the contributor's checkout layout (issue btclib-org/.github#2263) #427.The cut-back is the first choice alone: Arming auto-merge kept, with the reviews on GitHub as its second condition.
Closes #430
