UID2-6799 Call merge endpoint directly to honor ruleset bypass#221
Conversation
Replace `gh pr merge` with `gh api PUT .../merge`. `gh pr merge` reads `mergeStateStatus` client-side and refuses if BLOCKED, but that status ignores ruleset bypass actors — so PRs that would merge fine via a bypass actor get pre-emptively rejected with "base branch policy prohibits the merge" (cli/cli#9145). Hitting the endpoint directly lets the server evaluate rules and bypass at merge time. Effective merge strategy is unchanged (rebase on all branches; the `github.ref_protected == 'true'` comparison continues to return false).
