# A direct merge, NOT `--auto`. GitHub's auto-merge is disabled on this
# repo (allow_auto_merge=false), so `--auto` failed with "Auto merge is
# not allowed for this repository (enablePullRequestAutoMerge)" whenever
# the PR was not already mergeable — which is why dep PRs piled up.
# Enabling the repo setting would be the other fix, but it is worse: with
# no branch protection there are no REQUIRED checks, so repo-wide
# auto-merge would merge any PR the moment it is mergeable, checks or not.
# We do not need it — the two wait-for-check gates above already prove
# Test and Lint passed before we get here, so merging now is equivalent
# and fails loudly on conflict instead of queueing silently.
