Fixes the merge half of #25160. A merged PR ended its watch with no message, so the agent that opened it never learned it had landed. A closed PR already wakes the thread; this does the same for a merge.

Summary

 PullRequestWatchReactor
   readGroup (host read finds the PR no longer open)
-    merged -> record(target, null)                 # watch ends, thread told nothing
+    merged -> merged(target)                       # watch ends, thread woken once
     closed -> closed(target)
   sweep (stored snapshot already says merged)
-    merged -> record(target, null)
+    merged + thread not settled -> merged(target)
+    merged + thread settled     -> record(target, null)   # orchestrator refuses wakes to a settled thread

The wake reads: "Pull request #N (url) was merged, so T3 Code stopped watching it. Finish any cleanup for it now." Notification summary #N: merged, stopped watching.

Evidence

• Before: new test wakes the watching thread once when its pull request merges on unmodified main:

  AssertionError: expected [] to deeply equal [ '#8: merged, stopped watching' ]
  × wakes the watching thread once when its pull request merges
  

  After: same test with the change; the whole file passes, typecheck has 0 errors, vp check is clean:

  Tests  118 passed (118)
  

Also observed in production use on v0.1.7 (macOS, Claude Code provider): in one hour of server traces, 3 watches ended with reason merged and the owning threads received no message, while the same threads were woken for failed checks, passed checks and comments.

Not covered: the case where auto-settle removes the watch before the reactor reads the merge (#29896). That is a separate problem and is left for its own PR. Not tested against a live GitHub merge; the test uses the existing PullRequestService mock like its neighbours.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Blast Radius: Watching threads only

An agent now receives one extra message when a watched PR merges. A thread that is settled still ends quietly, as before. Tooling that parses wake text could see a new message kind.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Merged PRs now wake active watching threads and instruct the agent to finish cleanup, rather than stopping silently. Human confirmation is needed for this default change to automatic post-merge agent activity; settled threads remain silent.

Walkthrough

The pull request watch reactor now notifies unsettled threads when a watched pull request is merged. It ends the watch without notification for settled threads. For a terminal pull request detail result, a non-interruption activity-read failure no longer prevents merge handling. Tests cover host reads, stored snapshots, and activity-read failure.

Changes: Merged pull request watch notifications

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Merge detection and notification apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/PullRequestWatchReactor.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts	The reactor notifies unsettled threads when a merged pull request is detected during a read or before a read. If the thread is settled, it ends the watch without notification. A non-interruption activity-read failure does not block handling a terminal detail result. Tests check host-read and stored-snapshot paths, notification content, and watch removal.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

• Issue 27945: The change allows terminal detail handling when the activity read fails, addressing the reported read-failure behavior for closed pull requests.
• Issue 25160: The change sends a merge notification and ends the watch, addressing the reported silent end. The issue’s merge-queue removal request is not covered.

Possibly related PRs

• pingdotgg/t3code#32210: Changes the merge-wake behavior in PullRequestWatchReactor.ts, including merged snapshots and sweep endings.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 6624d

If a custom provider is removed, a merged pull request may leave its watch active without notifying the thread. This is a bounded edge case, but the watch should still end when notification fails.

Explanation

The title names the main change: when a watched pull request merges, the watching thread is woken. It uses a conventional commit prefix, is one sentence, and matches the summary and objectives. It is specific enough for a teammate scanning history to understand the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections in substance. It has a Problem (a merged PR ended its watch silently), a Change (merged PR now wakes the thread, with a diff showing the reactor flow), and a Verification section with a before/after test failure, a passing run (118 tests), typecheck, and lint results, plus production observations. It links the issue #25160 and explains the scope. The Scope and approval section is weak: it does not explicitly link a maintainer-approved issue or discussion, nor does it explain why the fix qualifies without one. It also lacks the template's note on UI screenshots, which is not applicable here. The author also named the model/harness used (Claude Code), which the template asks for.

Resolution

Consider adding an explicit Scope and approval entry. Link the triaged bug issue #25160 and state whether a maintainer approved its direction, or explain why the fix qualifies as a small, focused fix of an obvious bug.

Handle a merged detail read even if the activity read fails.

If detail reports "merged" but activityRead fails, this combined-read check discards the successful detail result. The new merged(target) branch never runs. Repeated activity failures can instead end the watch as unreadable. Handle a terminal detail state without requiring a successful activity read. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Cover the merged-snapshot path in this test.

The fixture tests only the host-detail path. Extend it with a case that stores a merged snapshot before the sweep. Check that two sweeps produce one notification without a detail read.

Pushed de09d64.

• Minor (merged detail with a failing activity read): fixed. A non-open detail is now terminal even when the activity read fails (interrupts still propagate), with a new test in runtimeLayer.test.ts.
• Nitpick (merged-snapshot path): skipped. This PR has no merged-snapshot read path; the sweep reads host detail, and the existing test already asserts two sweeps give one notification.

[gurnro]

Correction: the merged-snapshot nitpick was valid (the sweep ends a stored merged snapshot without a host read), and my earlier reply skipping it was wrong. Added a test in 6624df9: a stored merged snapshot, two sweeps, one notification, zero host reads.

End the watch when the merge wake cannot be dispatched

If a watched thread’s custom provider instance is removed, adapter lookup can reject the merge wake before the watch removal commits. Each sweep can then retry the same merged snapshot, leaving the watch active and sending no notification. Allow the watch to end when the wake cannot be dispatched.
